[QUOTE="treex, post: 5724505, member: 84680"] Ah yes, I made a mistake there. I put 25 feet into Google and it came up as 7.62 XD That's quite enlightening thank you, I'm aware that it's generally accepted that squares would be treated as circles whenever it's more convenient. And for RP purposes, because no one could suspend their belief enough if I were to make, say...a square tornado (lol) Basically, the only reason I wanted to run this by you people is that firstly, a spherical illusion around the window would not make my illusion break if the guard were to simply lean on the window sill or something. Also, from my point of view, a spherical illusion would be more realistic than if it were to be a "flat image". Of course it's magic, so we could just say that the image constantly changes from your point of view. Besides, it's cooler my way xD But, it's mostly my first point, there'd be more leeway then if they were to get closer to the window. (I don't think guards would so conveniently stand away from the window) And if anyone is wondering, the illusion breaks if: [LIST=1] [*]It is attacked. (I can't recall if it has defenses and it must be successfully struck or something) [*]A creature moves through it. (So I assume it breaks if anything touches it at all) [*]It can be identified if they pass an Insight Check of 15+INT modifier+1/2 your level (which is 21 for my Illusionist) but it doesn't break. [/LIST] So our party is trying to infiltrate this tower and I want to give some cover. My alternative idea was to just make a distraction, suggestions are welcome because it has to attract attention and yet not get hit. Maybe...set the surroundings on fire by using Spectral Image and stacking it with Prestidigitations (so that's like 1 square + 3 effects) Then make roaring sounds. Ta-da! A dragon is rampaging in the distance! Enjoy your "imminent doom" with a side dish of Quake-in-me-boots. [/QUOTE]
