[QUOTE="phindar, post: 3475616, member: 37198"] Maybe we're looking at this the wrong way. Instead of reading "figments are unreal" to mean that figments aren't real, maybe the author meant something like, "figments are totally awesome." That's one of the minor hinks with figments, with a spell like [i]Silent Image[/i] you get a Will Save when it is interacted with. So say the illusionist makes a [i]Silent Image[/i] of a cabin, and a guy walks up to it. "Interacting" with a cabin pretty much means knocking on the door, trying the handle or something like that. But your hand is going to go right through it, because it's only a figment, which means there's no real point in making the Will Save. It's not a big deal but its a case of "You get a Will Save right up until the point you touch it, when you realize its not real." My only other real complaint is I think the illusions spells should be listed as Image, Silent; Image, Minor, and so on just so they'd be easier to find in the book. They'd all be right in the "I" section. Kind of like the Summon Monster spells, you could just have [i]Illusionary Image[/i] 1-5 or 1-9 or whatever. [/QUOTE]
