One thing about illusions though, you need to have a fairly good description of your environment and a good grasp of how to use the environment to your advantage.Here are a few examples of how I have used illusions:1. We assaulted an underground castle surrounded by a bottomless chasm. There was a bridge over the chasm, a bridge with no rails. A group of trolls was rushing us from across the bridge. I cast an illusion that cover the bridge with an identical bridge that ended with  a fall into the chasm.The trolls failed to notice the bridge had slightly changed and ran right off into the chasm.2. A few of us had left the main party to explore the forest. We were ambushed by some creatures. It was nighttime and I used an illusion to create a signal in the sky of our location. The rest of the party followed the signal to our location to assist in the fight.Good use of illusions takes some real creative thought by both the player and the DM. Enjoy trying to be a good illusionist. If successful, you should be a great asset. I hope you don't operate in the Underdark that often, too many creatures in the Underdark are immune to illusions.</blockquote>
