[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 5758420, member: 259"] Hi, folks! I have a couple of questions about wands and saves and spellcraft: 1) I cast a minor image of a wall. An enemy makes his spellcraft check and walks right through it. I use my wand to create a minor image. Does the enemy get a spellcraft check? (I don't think so, since it's a spell trigger item, but figure I should check). 2) I cast a minor image of a wall. An enemy makes his spellcraft check. Can he automatically see through it now--that is, is the spellcraft check sufficient to count for an automatic save vs. the spell? I'm tempted to say that it does, except under specific circumstances (e.g., if I create the wall somewhere out of sight of the enemy, he won't immediately recognize it as the illusion when he sees it). 3) I have 6 levels of illusionist, giving me +3 rounds duration on any illusion spell with a duration of concentration. Does this apply to spells cast from wands or scrolls? I'm thinking it doesn't. Now, a couple of specific uses of illusions: 4) We're fighting a huge giant, like 15' tall. I cast a minor image of a cloud bank that starts 6' off the ground, allowing my party's fighters to see his legs and knees clearly but not to see above that, and conversely keeping the giant from seeing my party's fighters. Would this work? Would this force the giant either to fight from a prone position or to exit the cloud or to fight as though blinded? 5) I create an illusion of a flying creature harrying the giant, in a position opposite a fighter. If the giant believes the flying creature is real, does this have any flanking effect? 6) If the giant decides to ignore the flying creature, and I then summon a real flying creature to replace the illusory one (with the replacement happening out of the giant's sight), does the giant's refusal to acknowledge what he thinks is illusory have any in-game effect?
