<<SPOILER ALERT>> for Rise of the Runelords... please do not read if you do not want to know details in the adventures within the campaign setting...

Okay, so my half-ogre bard was in the depths of Thistletop, facing off against Nualla and her minions. He had cast Mirror Image prior to being trapped in that hallway with the portcullis and opposing statues that attack after the gate closes.

The statues require an attack roll to hit, but Mirror Image, RAW, says:

"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."

Now, at the bottom of the Mirror Image spell description, it also says:

"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)."

Traps don't normally "see". Therefore, Mirror Image would NOT have any effect in this case? If that's the case, and traps requiring attack rolls don't normally "see", then wouldn't it stand to reason that there's a 50% miss chance on the attack roll, since it's mechanically flailing to hit without some sort of targeting?

Sorry if this has been asked before, I rolled a 1 on my Search Messageboards roll... thanks in advance for any feedback.


As they're listed in the Core Rulebook, it appears that the cost to create an item is a "Construction Requisite". That means that according to the rules, taking a +5 to the DC to create an item allows you to "ignore" it as a requisite, since the only mandatory requisite that isn't "ignore-able" is the item creation feat itself.

Is this true?
