[QUOTE="Cheiromancer, post: 2338663, member: 141"] Yeah, what azhrei_fje said. :) Say 5 magic missiles streak out, and 4 of them hit images while the 5th hits the wizard. The 4 magic missiles fizzle out without effect, but the wizard takes damage; all 4 images thus appear to be damaged by the missile that hits them, even though their missiles actually fizzled. There is no way to tell which of the five is the real wizard. Say all 5 missiles hit images. They all fizzle, none of the images appeared to be harmed, and there is no way to tell who is the real wizard. Even if there were only 6 targets (the wizard and the 5 images) you cannot target "the image that didn't get hit by a magic missile" because the images change and merge too quickly. In response to the original question, I guess that whatever way you adjudicate combat reflexes and mirror image, the same reasoning should apply to magic missiles and mirror image. My opinion is that combat reflexes was adjudicated correctly in the original case, but magic missile was not. [/QUOTE]
