[QUOTE="JiffyPopTart, post: 1394979, member: 4881"] I used my 1st level illusions to send messages to people in far away places. Once you get to a decently high level (6 or so) you get a HUGE volume of space to work your illusion in. Nothing like some 20 foot high letters saying "COME HERE" to get someones attention. Also you can use the 1st level illusion as a giant television (moving painting). Why be stuck for an explanation on what a monster or bad guy looked like when you can just show someone? Need to keep a bad guy from getting away? Throw down an illusion of a cage. They will get their will save when they knock at the cage side with their sword, but otherwise are gonna be stuck. Want to distract the guards. Make an image of their buddy running by in the distance and see if they follow. Have a horrible Hide skill? Make a giant rock that you are hiding inside of. Who is going to go out their way to tap each and every rock they see to make sure its real? Ultimately, though, I think the success of an Illusionist relies on their DC for the Will saves the illusions create. If your DC is lackluster, for every idea you come up with thats saveproof (fake pit trap covers) you will have 5 that require that the bad guys fail their save (conjured cage from nowhere).
