[QUOTE="Pax, post: 958806, member: 6875"] [b]Re: Re: Re: More Shadow Conjuration questions...[/b] Depends; keep reading. Note that you can ALWAYS voluntarily fail your save (you're assumed to do so when the party cleric casts Cure Moderate Wounds on you, for example). I would say ... yes. They would GET that save, the first time they attack you and miss [i]because of the +4 AC bonus of the mage armor.[/i] Not 20% of it's benefit exactly (which boils down to "nothing", as you cannot get +0.8 AC), but, since SOME of the force effect around you is [shadow]-based, every time you are struck by someone who has made their save to disbelieve (see above), there is a 20% chance you get the armor bonus ANYway. And, actually ... I [b]like[/b] illusion. I like illusionist specialist wizards ... and for a Sorceror, [b]nothing[/b] ups your versatility like the (Greater) Shadow ___ spells, and the like. I've got a sorceror in a 1st-level arena ... and against other 1st and 2d level opponents, [i]color spray[/i] absolutely ROCKS (save DC is 18, heh). [/QUOTE]
