[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 4863705, member: 71571"] There are no rules-as-written for mirrors. However, what I'd suggest is that mirrors give you one line-of-sight for the purposes of concealment. It'll let you see a monster, and might negate total concealment, but there's no way you'll be able to counter normal concealment. Fact is, that mirror doesn't make that creature any less hard to aim at, only to find in the first place. So, by above, yes, teleports would be fine through it, but it wouldn't let you shoot through walls. Then, an advanced version of it, the mystic mirror, perhaps it might be made of argentum, or mithral, or orichalcum, or Insert MacGuffiny Supermetal Here... or maybe it is ensorcelled... but it grants Line of Effect as well as Line of Sight, thus allowing neat-o ricochet tricks with fireballs, arrows, and the like. Still doesn't completely negate cover, but it'd negate total cover for sure. So, using this, could you bounce attacks off mirrors? Well, depends on the mirror, don't it? It's not breaking the rules, because the rules don't exist for this. It's asking the DM 'Can I try to do something awesome?' and the DM having to either say 'Yes, you can try' or 'No, you cannot.' RAW, The DM is encouraged to give the man a chance to try to awesome, within reason. [/QUOTE]
