[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 7547664, member: 16814"] Illusions are super awesome and strong in my games. I'm not acting out of backladh for abused illusions. Instead, I following the descriptions as written. Illusions create an image of something, hence they add but do not subtract. They don't create or block light because they are images, mot physical, and the description does not say they do. They aren't mind affecting spells because they don't say they are -- the descriptions are clear as to what they do. When did reading the rules count as backlash? Meanwhile, I adjudicate illusions as acting to achieve caster intent as much as possibke within the bounds of aoe and capability, so players on my game get good use out of illisions. They just don't block light sources or remove things from reality or force strange behavior to preserve the illusion. A pit illusion looks like a pit, but if you toss something in it skitters across the floor because the illusion can't remove it. But, if you cast an illusion of a pit in front of a real pit that you cover with the same illusion, you've got a really nasty trick going. [/QUOTE]
