[QUOTE="two, post: 2158527, member: 9002"] Read the spell. Fireball does nothing. Granted, mirror image does not help vs. fireball, but fireball also doesn't dispel the images. It helps if your caster has a reasonably decent reflex save. Targeted dispel magic won't fly for obvious reasons. Area dispel -- sure. Might work. If it does, recast Mirror Image. I'll trade 2nd level spells for your 3rd level ones (which are not assured of working in the first place) any day of the week. After all, the enemy mage is dispelling magic instead of, well, fireballing. I'm totally OK with that. Been there done that. What, are you going to constantly pit the party (starting at level 3 for wizards) against dispel-magic capable enemies with area-attack spells, necessarily at least 2 of them in the NPC enemy group? It's a 2nd level spell. Yet it requires the GM to jump through many hoops to create an enemy that is capable of doing damage to the mirror imaged PC without wasting 2-3 rounds running around, attacking, dispelling 1-2 figments a round, etc. One 2nd level spell should not cause such ridiculous pain ( on the part of the GM).
