I just ran into this issue in a game last night and was curious what the opinion of the rules board might be. Ice golems have a weakness to the spell "Endure elements" that, when casted on them, nullfies many of it's cold-related abilities for 1 round. The problem is Endure Elements has a 10 minute casting time. I would imagine this is intended to be used against the Ice Golem in combat, but this long of a casting time makes that impractical. I switched it to a 2-action casting time for the purposes of deactivating the golem's abilities.

Is this an oversight or am I missing something?

I failed to see this topic come up when searching, which means the answer might be totally obvious, but I have a question about Mirror Image and Hunter's Eye:

=================================================

Hunter's Eye: Level 3 Inquisitor Level 2 Ranger spell

Sharpening your perceptive abilities and tuning them against obfuscating effects, hunter’s eye greatly enhances your senses against the target creature. You gain the ability to perceive the target when it is invisible or ethereal as though using the see invisibility spell, and receive a +20 competence bonus on Perception checks to locate the target.

You ignore concealment provided by fog or mist, blur, displacement, invisibility, and similar effects affecting the target, but not concealment provided by darkness. This spell provides no benefits to your allies and no benefits against creatures other than the target.

================================================

Mirror image is a little more familiar. It creates illusory duplicates. Ordinarily a "See Invisibility" spell would not allow you to see past mirror image because it's an illusion, but the second paragraph calls out concealment effects mentioning blur and displacement concealment and then saying it works against "similar effects." Is mirror image similar enough to displacement to say that Hunter's Eye would work against it?

My instinct is no it does not work against mirror images, because it doesn't ask you to roll concealment like the other spells mentioned. Additionally, I think that the spell would call out mirror images if that was RAI. If it does work it would also be extremely strong for ranged characters to damage down mages.

It's a little murky though and I was curious about your thoughts on it.
