[QUOTE="Treantmonklvl20, post: 7470045, member: 55582"] Every fixed point spell already moves in every campaign. I agree the DM precident has massive tactical implications. Pretend you are the DM (anyone reading this) This is the scenario. A cargo ship is being loaded. Dock crew use a ramp to load a cart laden with crates and chests onto the deck of the ship. The cart is moved to the stairs to the cargo deck where deckhands take the crates and chests belowdeck. As the cart moves to the stairs, one of the crewman on the cart cast a "stationary" illusion on an open chest to make it appear full. At your table, how does the illusion move? A) it moves with the sea bed below, bobbing and weaving in and out of the chest with the waves? B) it moves with the water, flowing out of the chest as it follows the ocean currents C) it moves with the deck of the ship, moving out of the back of the chest when the cart moves D) it moves with the cart, moving in mid air with the cart as it heads back to the dock E) it remains in the chest it was cast in, moving below deck with the chest as loaded into cargo F) something really silly, like it moves with techtonic plates or the earth's core, or with the back of the giant turtle this plane resides on I think the tactical implications of anything but E is a can of worms I would be hesitant to open, but I'm curious which it would be at everyone else's table.
