[QUOTE="GorTeX, post: 3294047, member: 14624"] I wish that Mirror Image created images that you could not specifically target..with attacks or magic. It'd be so much simpler if MI just created X images in your square that can not be distinquished. Anything that targets the caster would have to roll to see if the target was an image or not...ie. you could only target the caster, not an image. The DM would roll to see if you hit the real thing or not. A targeted spell (like Magic Missle or a Ray spell) would still seem to hit the target, and the only clue you'd get to what you hit was whether or not an image disappeared or not. It's be so much simpler that way..no having to decide what the AC of the image is...or how to distribute your attacks..or cleaving/whirlwinding the images (bs IMO), or even moving the images about the room (seprately). But then, that makes MI better than displacement doesn't it. Ever since I've been playing D&D (started in79), Magic Missles have popped images of the Mirror Images..every D&D computer game that I've played (I think I've played at least 90% of them) allows MM to take out the images of a MI. The FAQ says that MM can target MI. All past evidence supports letting MM's target and remove an Image. But the 3.5ed rules do not obviously allow it. IMO, figments, tho not living, should be targetable as the thing they are figments of...but that's just my opinion..no real rules to back it up. [/QUOTE]
