[QUOTE="H.M.Gimlord, post: 5724424, member: 79440"] That's a cool idea treex. Sounds feasible, and if I were DM, I would allow it, but, sadly, I'm not, so run the idea by jsb420 (the DM (for the benefit of others reading)). How I would handle it if I were DM: The image is technically not allowed to expand beyond a single square in any direction, but it would not have to be projected. It could be placed strategically (like inside the window itself, kind of like putting a photograph in front of a security camera) so as to achieve the desired effect. Since it is an illusion, it has no substance, and as such it is not a stretch to imagine that it can float in mid-air. I imagine that the Insight Check would be used to determine things like noticing edge effects, so I don't think doing this would incur any penalties. The rules for it do say that it is either "a creature or an object", but if jsb420 is OK with it, you might get away with defining "object" broadly ;). Keep in mind (as I'm sure you know): It'll depend on the distance to the window (e.g.: if the tower window is more than 50ft up or a way) and any goblin that sees it makes a DC 15 + 1/2 your level insight check. If they pass the check, they realize that it's an illusion. Any contact with the image will end it. [/QUOTE]
