[QUOTE="Caeleddin, post: 2257747, member: 31912"] Circumstance bonus to Will save. Staff of the Magi is a high level artifact. No one is gonna believe just like that that every Tom, Dick and Harry has one. Staff of Power is more believable, but not by much (thing costs over 100k). Depends on your campaign setting. Also, anyone with TS, Detect Magic and the like will hose the tactic. Mage will take 1 round to cast Image before the Image can attack (it will move on his initiative). Anyone shooting it or harming it in any way or seeing the duplicate of the mage will get a circumstance bonus to Will save. If the mage uses it in a surprise round, it can't move and attack in the same round. If it moves up to the target, that gives the target or anyone in the target's party a chance to hit it during the first round. That will give a circumstance bonus to Will save. Any combination of the above will effectively shut it down. [/QUOTE]
