[QUOTE="EOL, post: 31179, member: 823"] I asked this before many moons ago, but I can't recall ever getting a definitive answer. I have some questions about casting an empowered mirror image. The spell description on mirror image says: [B][I]Mirror Image[/I] creates 1d4 images plus one image per three caster levels (maximum eight images).[/B] Now I'm assuming that when it talks about a maximum of eight images it's speaking of all the images, not merely the additional images for your level, because if that were the case you would have to be level 24 to max out. Preceding from this assumption and based on the spells description how does an empowered (or double empowered) mirror image work? 1- Is it just the 1d4 that is multiplied by 1.5 or is it 1d4=(lvl/3)? [I]When I asked the question before I remember I was leaning towards the latter, but hadn't been convinced[/I] 2- Regardless of the answer to the first question what about the cap of 8 is that still a maximum even with the empower or does it go to 12 (16 with a double empower)? [I]A normal fireball is capped at 10d6, but an empowered fireball could do more than 60 points of damage, but somehow this doesn't feel similar enough to make that ruling, plus 8 is the number of squares surrounding a single square on a grid.[/I] I realize this is a very picky rules question, but if you can't ask these sort of things on enworld where can you ask?
