Liberty's Edge

If you have a party of 4 PCs fighting 4 illusionary opponents. These illusions are being made to react to hits so as to have them not disbelieved. If one of the PCs hits an orc, makes a will save for the illusion and disbelieves it, does it vanish just for him or does that poof that exact enemy for everyone or would all 4 opponents vanish for everyone?

If the image is attacked (hit or miss), it has been interacted with so the attacker gets a save. If he passes, he knows it is an illusion, but can still see it (it might now look translucent to him at this point). His comrades, until they make their saves, still see the illusion normally (though some GMs will allow them saves as well if they saw their ally's weapon pass through the illusion harmlessly).

Generally, your allies will get a +4 on their next save because one ally is screaming 'it's an illusion!'.
