Mirror Image and Undead

[welby]

I know this has to have been asked before, but I couldn't find it so I'm turning here. Are undead fooled by mirror image? Thanks

Why wouldn't they be? Undead that rely on sight to hit you (which is all of them, barring specific cases that say otherwise) still see the images.

Here, not an official reply from WotC or anything, but relevant rant from Sean K. Reynolds: http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/rants/undeadseethroughillusions.html

In 3.5, illusions can affect the undead, unless they rely on manipulating the mind directly. This, however, is distasteful to many. Check with your DM.

Thanks everyone. I think our group had just played with the "undead sense your lifeforce" assumption for so long that this came as a surprise to me.
