RAW:
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.
Not sure how to interpret the part in bold print, which seems to be the crux of the power... There isn't a miss chance listed, so let's say there are 6 images and then you. Does that mean there's a 1 in 7 chance that it will target you, and you determine that however you want?

Correct, there is a 1 in 7 chance of actually hitting the caster. Roll a d8 if you like and reroll if you get an 8 or something similar.
Yes.
In that specific case, I'd take a d8 and nominate one number to be the actual spellcaster (usually 1) and roll it to see if I hit him or the image. I re-roll the 8. As number of images go down, we use smaller dice. Or d10 for 5 images (where 1-2 would be the caster).

That's kind of what I figured, its just RAW are usually so much more specific in their mechanic, I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.
