[QUOTE="retrace, post: 6993623, member: 6860672"] So I'm playing a lower lv wizard and normally we don't have many illusion spells cast in our adventures. There are a total of 10 monsters in 30 ft area and the 3 nearest monsters near the party about 10ft. On our last game session, I cast Silent Image near the 3 closest (DM didnt roll for the other 7) each of the 3x all failed their spell save DC. One of the monsters attacked the Silent Image (unicorn) with a arrow, and the monster shot well enough that he knew it was an illusion, so then all the monsters could ignore it. The Dm said it was because when he read the spell in PHB and he quoted the bottom paragraph "physical interactions with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it." My argument was 1) the monster didn't use it action to examine the image(they failed the spell save DC and took action to attack at it) 2) even if you believe the one monster believes it to be an illusion, how come all the others monsters believe it to be an illusion as well? he said because they all saw the arrow go through it. Any suggestions how to deal with this ... I understand Illusion spells have there limitations however IMO the DM took the one line in the spell and dismissed the Illusion. [/QUOTE]
