Does Shield Stack with Mirror Image?

[Leopold]

A arcane caster casts shield then mirror image. Does the mirror image get all the benefits of shield spells? Does the mirror image get all the same spells as the caster has cast upon them? What happens if the caster casts shield AFTER he casts mirror image..

The description of "Mirror Image" gives the AC of the figments as 10+size modifier+Dex modifier.

I think that makes it clear that whathever other bonuses the caster will usually also have - armor, deflection, cover, etc. don't apply to their AC, so shield wouldn't either.

More to the point, shield protects "you." Mirror images are not "you."

If you want a good question, ask how it works with magic circle against evil. In this case, however, I'd argue the images don't quialify for the bonus because they're not actually creatures. Depending on your interpretation of illusions, though, they might.
