Message: <blockquote data-quote="Queen_Dopplepopolis" data-source="post: 1672710" data-attributes="member: 14323">My character is a Paladin/Cleric.  Last night when my group was gaming, we encounted an evil mage that, while I was interacting with her and actively detecting evil, cast Mislead...<a href="http://geocities.com/sovelior/srd/spellsMtoO.html#mislead" target="_blank">Mislead</a>Illusion (Figment, Glamer)Level: Brd 5, Luck 6, Sor/Wiz 6, Trickery 6Components: SCasting Time: 1 standard actionRange: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)Target/Effect: You/one illusory doubleDuration: 1 round/level (D) and concentration + 3 rounds; see textSaving Throw: None or Will disbelief (if interacted with); see textSpell Resistance: NoYou become invisible (as improved invisibility, a glamer), and at the same time, an illusory double of you (as major image, a figment) appears. You are then free to go elsewhere while your double moves away. The double appears within range but thereafter moves as you direct it (which requires concentration beginning on the first round after the casting). You can make the figment appear superimposed perfectly over your own body so that observers don’t notice an image appearing and you turning invisible. You and the figment can then move in different directions. The double moves at your speed and can talk and gesture as if it were real, but it cannot attack or cast spells, though it can pretend to do so.The illusory double lasts as long as you concentrate upon it, plus 3 additional rounds. After you cease concentration, the illusory double continues to carry out the same activity until the duration expires. The improved invisibility lasts for 1 round per level, regardless of concentration.Now, the spell is really really cool and, if I were a Wizard, Bard, or Sorcerer, I would cast it all the time... but, my question is, because I was actively detecting evil, would I have known about the shift between the major image and the evil mage even though she was under the affects of greater invisibility?And that is only as a "normal" Paladin-- I have also spent the experience points in order to use my detect evil to "Fight Invisible Evil" as described in Mongoose's Quintessential Paladin. ("If the Paladin is beset by an invisible evil opponent, he can send out magical 'pings' every round to locate it with a successful Wisdom check (DC 15)...")I was, I believe, 6 or 7 rounds into detection so, I had all of the evil within my radius pegged down-- so, couldn't I have pegged down the movement of the fleeing, cowardly evil aura?DM says that Mislead wouldn't be impacted by the normal Palain's detect evil ability or my special ability... What do y'all think?Thanks!--LizzyB</blockquote>
