Cool, I'll delve for it while I'm online. Thanks Hyper 

See I play that MM auto hits its target. (Same as it you rolled a 20)
Image is gone.

Well, "the magic missile hits the image and it disappears" gives away information that spells-with-attack-rolls are for, in my opinion, but hey...

What about ones that give saves?
After all, with targeted spells, you know if your target saves or not. What happens if you hit an image with, say, Charm Person? What about Hold Person?
IceBear said:
Well, what happens when you hit someone with one of those spells anyway? Oh, he stopped moving. Now did I really hold him or is he pretending to be held? Oh he's still moving, did he make his save, is he immune to hold spells, spell resistance, or is he an illusion?
I don't see an issue. The reason why I said a spell that causes damage was because most of those produce a ray or missle that would pass through the illusion (like a sword would) and thus reveal that it is an illusion.

You cast a targeted spell on someone, you automatically know if they made their save or not, and they automatically know that someone tried to affect them with magic, even if the spell has not physical effect. (PHB, page 150, Succeeding at a Saving Throw.)

A 20 is a critical threat... shouldn't they roll to confirm?
Why don't rogues get sneak attack damage?
What about the miss chance for Displacement?
[shakes head] Targetted spells don't need attack rolls, and they don't behave like spells that require attack rolls.

From SRD Spell Magic Missile
The missile strikes unerringly, even if the target is in melee or has anything less than total cover or concealment.
Does the Taget have Total cover? "No" Does the target have Total Concealment? "No"
It bypasses the Mirror Image and hits the target character and does damage.
