I'm going to be using a cleric with the Trickery domain and I just noticed an interesting tactic that I would like to use. However I want to check if I'm misunderstanding any of this.
The PCs are going to be attacked by a band of hobgoblins, including a cleric of Tiamat with the Trickery domain.
I plan to use the Copycat domain power while hidden (which is to function as a single Mirror Image). Then, I will cast Invisibility and charge in. I then will have the cleric running around the battle using healing spells or buffs on allies until the PC kill them all or the copycat ends or is killed at which point he will flee.
If exposed, I plan to have him run away back into hiding at their camp and use a potion of reduce person and cast disguise self once out of sight to appear like a human child who "was kidnapped by those scary trolls...". He will only have a minute but in that minute he will retrieve some sensitive documents and hopefully be able to escape. (I will time it and be very pushy about getting away; feigning fear).
My primary question, will the mirror image thing work legally? Of course as GM I can say it does but if he is exposed and somebody questions it I'd like to cite a rule.

Read mirror image thoroughly, as far as I remember it doesn't function with invisibility - the mirrored images also turn invisible..which renders them useless
edit: there we go, exact wording:
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
try something devious with silent image instead, it can animate too you know and you make it into the image of the cleric keeping at range , dodging things awfully fast and missing the PCs with all ranged stuff he got..
Ah..well..now I'm the dumbass then. Happens to everyone ^_^
