mirror image

[Outcast]

Maybe a stupid question,

Does a damaging area effect like fireball make mirror images dissappear.

I think not, but im not sure.

Outcast

 

[Dr_Rictus]

You are correct. Only attacks that strike a mirror image make it disappear.

 

[Outcast]

Lets say 5 missiles go to each an other image, do they disappear?

 

[AuraSeer]

Yes, if you hit five images with five magic missiles, they all vanish.

what if you were wearing a brooch of shielding?

g!

Since we're talkin' about Mirror Image here...

Generally, roll randomly to see whether the selected target is real or a figment.

...did anyone ever figure out what the hell you're supposed to roll!?

 

[apsuman]

it depends on how many images there are.

if there were four images, then d4, if there wer 13 images, then you roll a d13.

But of course....

if there were four images, then d4

...that makes sense...

if there wer 13 images, then you roll a d13.

...but this, however, fully qualifies you as a smartass.

Not quite.

4 images, D5.
13 images, D14.

One of the "images" must be the real caster.


And, brooch of shielding only protects the real caster.

As my understanding has it, it has to be a spell that you specificaly target on the Image/Wizard. I think it calls for a to-hit roll, but magic Missle can get around that by claiming it is specificaly targeted 'and always rolls a hit'.

I thought that Fireball and/or other Area-of-Effect spells were mentioned as not causing the Images to vanish, they just end up looking like the original again, ie: Extra Crispy if he failed his save.
