[QUOTE="Pickaxe, post: 1928069, member: 10812"] Invisibility and Blur affect the appearance of the caster, therefore they affect the appearance of the images. If the effect of the spell is limited to altering appearance (e.g., Disguise Self), then the images should get the "benefit" of the magic. This would certainly be true of Invisibility, and would not be true of Blur only in the case that the appearance and the concealment effect are separate, which I would personally not rule, but which seems like a possible interpretation (not having the spell description right in front of me atm). Mage Armor and Protection from Arrows don't affect appearance, so why would they affect the images in the first place? To give another example, Alter Self would give the images the appearance of the selected form, but they would not confer natural armor or any other physical attributes. The spell's targeting does not enter into the equation, as far as I see it; the images are not "targets", they are the effect of the caster's magic, and they in turn are affected by the caster's appearance, including magical alterations of it. I don't see how this view is any less supported by the RAW as your alternative view. --Axe [/QUOTE]
