[QUOTE="Felix, post: 2160079, member: 3929"] For giggles, here's the comparison on the scaling of Magic Missile and Mirror Image, to show how good MM is at removing MI as equal level mages go up... 1 One Missile --- One to Four Images 2 3 Two Missiles --- Two to Five Images 4 5 Three Missiles 6 --- Three to Six Images 7 Four Missiles 8 9 Five Missiles --- Four to Seven Images 10 11 12 --- Five to Eight Images 13 14 15 --- Six to Eight Images 16 17 18 --- Seven to Eight Images 19 20 So pretty much all through the levels Magic Missile is a fair way to pop out Images, with the best effectiveness at level 9. But if a mage wants to spend an action casting a first level spell to counter it instead of casting something else, I say go ahead, it'll work. Or if he wants to spend a 5th level slot casting a quickened MM, same thing goes. Either way, Mirror Images has a good chance at protecting you, it'll do so for a round or two at the beginning of combat, and that's good enough for me. [/QUOTE]
