[QUOTE="Enkhidu, post: 4128244, member: 351"] How is this much different than in 3e? Hobgoblin Fighter:"You runty kobold minions attack him first" Minions "But there are 4 of him! How do we know which one to hit?" Hobgoblin Fighter "But your wild waving will frighten away his mirror images, so get poking, pansies!" Minion 1 rolls, hits AC 16, but strikes an AC 10 image instead - one image goes Minion 2 rolls, hits AC 11, but strikes an AC 10 image instead - another image goes Minion 3 rolls, hits AC 9, and misses everything Hobgoblin Fighter now attacks the AC 19 wizard with 1 image left (and a 50/50 shot to whack him), the rest being stripped away by the baby kobold minions... Is the new version worse? Yes. Is it worse by leaps and bounds? Not until higher levels, when casters in 3e get a max of 8 images. The AC 10 image (adjusted only for size, not dex or anything else) is an equalizer. [/QUOTE]
