[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7106596, member: 23751"] It doesn't matter. All that matters is that it takes the same targeting and same amount of time to attack, fire a bow, or cast a spell. If any one of those can hit the caster of the Mirror Image without having to roll the d20, they all should be able to do so. If one has to roll a d20, they all should have to do so. The issue here is the targeting portion of the attack or spell, not the hitting portion. He does have to be able to know who the target is, though. If the target is impossible to track, then he doesn't know who the target is. The issue with Mirror Image is that if you don't roll the d20, then you never really targeted the caster of the Mirror Image. You targeted the image instead. The wording of the spell is horrendous, though. It makes it seem like the sword swing is being re-directed when it is not. The sword swing at the caster doesn't suddenly veer left into an image. Rather, you thought the image was the caster. [/QUOTE]
