[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7113585, member: 23751"] While that makes sense, that's not what the rules say. Again, the rules say... "Choose a target. Pick a target within your attack’s range: [B]a creature, an object, or a location[/B]." It's not possible to target an illusion with a sword by RAW. Now, Mirror Image would specifically beat that general rule since it says the weapon attack can target the images, but other illusions do not. Let's say that a sorcerer casts Silent Image and Invisibility. For the sake of this example he is also hidden successfully from the fighter. The fighter only sees the Silent Image of the sorcerer and thinks that the image is the sorcerer. The fighter tries to target the sorcerer......and fails. Targeting is not 100% certain. He then tries to target the Silent Image and if people are playing by RAW, fails as it is not a creature, object or location. Again, targeting is not 100% certain. [/QUOTE]
