Spiritual Weapon against Mirror image


Rules Questions


Would the weapon have to check and see if it hits an image? It does not have eyes and it does not see as far as I can tell.

What about dancing weapons for that matter.

And I guess the same question would apply for any effect that gives the target concealment, if the room is dark, is the weapons vision based on the caster or wielder?

I am sure you could not direct the weapon to switch targets if you can't see the new target, but what if the effect happens after its acquired its target?

With spiritual weapons, since it strikes from your direction, and must remain in your visual area, I would say that it is using your sight. But this is just my best guess.

For dancing weapons, that is a harder call, If you look at the spell used to create it, animate object, I would treat it as the same. In this case, a dancing sword, basically becomes a basic construct that attacks foes in your area. Since it uses your bab and is considered wielded by you for all maneuvers and effects that target items, I would say that too would use your sight.
