[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 1982298, member: 2011"] I agree with you because the target of the Displacement spell is the caster, not his images. However, we had a fairly heated discussion on this about a month ago where a lot of people thought that if the caster were Blurred (or in this case Displaced), his images would also be blurred and hence would get the concealment bonus. I don't think the targeting rules of spells support this interpretation, but other people think that the "copying of visual effects" of Mirror Image does. Effectively, they think that the images get the concealment bonus because they are blurry, not because you are under the affect of a Blur spell that gives you (and only you) that concealment bonus. YMMV. Game mechanics-wise, it is important because if the Images are Blurred or Displaced or Invisible or Blinking, you would roll a miss chance against them. If they are not, then you would not roll a miss chance against them. PS. Blinking and Displacement stack (i.e. you make two miss chance rolls) if your opponent cannot strike ethereal since one is a miss chance (due to you possibly being on the etheral plane) and one is a miss chance due to concealment. If your opponent can strike ethereal, then only the Displacement miss chance occurs due to both of them being miss chances due to concealment (i.e. they do not stack in this case). [/QUOTE]
