[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 3497672, member: 1656"] But the thing is that with a Blurred creature, within the visual phenomenon you observe, there are Creature and Non-Creature elements. If you swing at the visual phenomenon, you might successfully hit it... but only strike Non-Creature elements, and miss the Creature entirely. But with a figment of a Blurred creature, the visual phenomenon includes no Non-Figment elements. The Blur effect is not a separate illusion; rather, it is the figment mimicking [a creature affected by a separate illusion]. If you successfully strike any part of that visual phenomenon, it is guaranteed to be Figment, not Non-Figment, because it's [i]all[/i] Figment. Unless you apply the FAQ answer, which implies that the figment looks like the non-Blurred caster, and then both figment and caster benefit from the separate illusion of the Blur spell. Which neither the Mirror Image text nor the Blur text in the PHB supports. It goes back to Riga Mortus's blanket. We have a [creature] who is wearing a [blanket]. The Mirror Image does not produce a figment of a [creature] wearing a figment of a [blanket]; it produces a figment of a [creature wearing a blanket], and a successful attack against the figment - in its creature or its blanket elements - will cause the [creature wearing a blanket] image to disappear. We have a [creature] who is surrounded by a [Blur]. The Mirror Image does not produce a figment of a [creature] surrounded by a figment of a [Blur]; it produces a figment of a [creature surrounded by a Blur], and a successful attack against the figment - in its creature or its Blur elements - will cause the [creature surrounded by a Blur] image to disappear. -Hyp.
