[QUOTE="Undrhil, post: 7026733, member: 77538"] Whenever I use PF, I summon a Gelatinous Cube around the target. At this point, several things happen. 1) the target starts to hold its breath *because it believes itself to be inside of a Gelatinous Cube. If it were to take a breath, it would realize that it could breath just fine. 2) the target cannot see anything beyond the "cube". It actually can, but the illusion has it believing that it cannot. 3) the target starts taking acid damage. It is actually taking psychic damage but it believes it is taking acid damage since it is inside of a Gelatinous Cube. Ordinarily, a creature in a Gelatinous Cube would do an opposed check to try to escape. The creature does this but fails to escape. It believes that it simply wasn't strong enough to do so. It tries again, putting all of its might into it. This time it is *certain* that it should have escaped, but something is preventing him from doing so. Now it takes a moment to actually examine the cube and, on a successful INT (Investigation) check, realizes it's all an illusion. On a failed INT (investigation) check, the cube appears to be real and the creature is still struggling. Now, if one of the creatures allies or enemies were to come over to it and stand next to it, it would observe them inside the Gelatinous Cube but not being affected by it. Well, maybe they succeeded on something to let them get into the cube to rescue it. Or maybe there's something else going on. [/QUOTE]
