If the spell can detect which is the real mage hiding in Mirror Image; why can't it detect the almost dead invisible Rogue in the corner? The spell can see through illusions that are figments but not illusions that are glamers?Right, the last sentence of the Deathwatch spell description sums it up:No mention of illusions (figments or glamers). Neither Mirror Image nor Invisibility allow feigning death. Both are illusions used for hiding from one's foes. Why should the spell work against one 2nd level illusion and not the other?My point is why allow such a low-level miscellaneous spell with good uses already gain so much more power and become the definitive detection spell that bypasses all illusion-type spells (even Shadow Conjuration is subject to this spell: it is not alive.) I don't recall any type of illusion granting the illusion of lifeforce; but maybe I missed one or two...Let the spell determine what it says it can; but not placement. For invisibility: someone in the corner is fragile. For the mage with the mirror images: that spellcaster is fighting off death. No information on the illusions (which are not subjects of the spell anyway: they are not truely creatures even by the definition in the Monster Manual; which includes constructs and undead).Just my thoughts on the matter. Sorry, Smurf; gotta disagree with you on this one.CiaoDave</blockquote>
