Mirror Image vs Evard's

[Hypersmurf]

In an Evards, only the actual caster would be grappled. His images would pretend to be grappled, but you would be able to distinguish between the caster and his images by the fact that he is actually grappled by the tentacles and they are not.

This is no different than the normal use of Mirror Image (although I suspect that many people do not play it this way). The first successful attack against the protected caster tells the opponent exactly where the caster is and all subsequent attacks automatically target the caster until the caster can move on the next round and reshift his images.

I tried to make use of this just yesterday, in fact, in a PbP - wanted to close my eyes and attempt to grapple the caster. If I'd made the 50% miss chance and established a grapple, all my allies could have targeted the one that I was hanging on to...

Unfortunately, the caster had initiative on me and moved around a corner out of reach
