if you use mirror image and invisibility, what happens?


Rules Questions


Would your duplicates become invisible?


Mirror image doesn't work when you're invisible.

The rules :

Quote:

MIRROR IMAGE

School illusion (figment); Level bard 2, sorcerer/wizard 2
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Range personal
Target you
Duration 1 min./level
This spell creates a number of illusory doubles of you that inhabit your square. These doubles make it difficult for enemies to precisely locate and attack you.

When mirror image is cast, 1d4 images plus one image per three caster levels (maximum eight images total) are created. These images remain in your space and move with you, mimicking your movements, sounds, and actions exactly. Whenever you are attacked or are the target of a spell that requires an attack roll, there is a possibility that the attack targets one of your images instead. If the attack is a hit, roll randomly to see whether the selected target is real or a figment. If it is a figment, the figment is destroyed. If the attack misses by 5 or less, one of your figments is destroyed by the near miss. Area spells affect you normally and do not destroy any of your figments. Spells and effects that do not require an attack roll affect you normally and do not destroy any of your figments. Spells that require a touch attack are harmlessly discharged if used to destroy a figment.

An attacker must be able to see the figments to be fooled. If you are invisible or the attacker is blind, the spell has no effect (although the normal miss chances still apply).

Avh is correct.

Though, if a dude has see invisibility it applies to him since he can see you. And if you attack someone while invisible, you'll still have your mirrors when the invisibility drops. Point is, even if it doesn't work while you have invisibility up, the spell isn't automatically dispelled or dismissed.

Absolutely :)


In otherwords, yes they do become invisible, and therefore lose their effect, until you're visible again.

The duplicates are invisible and every time they hit you (past the invisibility 50%) they hit you and have no chance of hitting a duplicate.


Oh thanks, i can't believe i missed it.


I often stack mirror image with invisibility as an extra layer of protection against people with see invisibility.
