Message: <blockquote data-quote="N'raac" data-source="post: 6258551" data-attributes="member: 6681948">A good question arises from that - if our Wizard is standing on a pillar of rock, or on a narrow ledge, do some or all of the images appear standing in mid-air?  If the caster is holding a pike, do some of his images appear impales upon it?  They should each have a pike, I assume, as that would be attended gear.Fair enough.  So if half the images are in front of the attacker and half are behind, why can't he tell whether the wizard casting a spell is in front of him or behind him?I have to be standing somewhere.  I may not even be able to get into range of some of those squares.OK, let's assume we are arranged as follows (C = Caster, E = Enemy and I = Image):W I I I I I I I IEThe enemy can attack W, or one of the I's.  Two questions:(a)  He guesses wrong and hits.  Do all the other images further right dissipate?  They are no longer within 5' of the caster or another image.(b)  He misses.  Can the Wizard take a 5' step, followed  by a full round action, to rearrange the images as follows (the enemy, of course, not moving)? ..I I I I I I I I WENot bad - a 50' step!  But he must be able to - he can rearrange everything to his liking, right? If he can't, a shuffle that puts an enemy back to a random roll seems pretty unlikely.Oh, and the enemy can fly, but the Wizard and his images are standing along a 5' wide ledge, so they can't move out of that line structure.</blockquote>
