Disruptive feat and Mirror Image


Rules Questions


My Arcane Duelist will get the Disruptive feat next level and we just fought a wizard using mirror image. (He cast blindness on me)

So far we have had a couple of arcane casters use mirror image and I wonder how useful Disruptive will be.

Benefit: The DC to cast spells defensively increases by +4 for all enemies that are within your threatened area. This increase to casting spells defensively only applies if you are aware of the enemy’s location and are capable of taking an attack of opportunity. If you can only take one attack of opportunity per round and have already used that attack, this increase does not apply.

I know the enemies "location" but I can't see him directly because of the images.

Does Disruptive work?


I think aware means "knows where he is". Since you are blind I would say you don't really "know" where he is.

The feat also says " are capable of taking an attack of opportunity".

Since you are blind he has total concealment against you and by the rules if someone has total concealment you can not make attacks of opportunity against him so that means the feat will not work, even if the GM is going to be nice about the "knowing" part.


Also of note, if your PC is blind, the mage's mirror image(s) has no effect on your PC.


So interestingly, Mirror Image does nothing to prevent AoO and threatening. You can totally take an AoO against someone with Mirror Image up, there's just a chance you'll hit an image instead. Now Blindness stops all AoO because you can't take an AoO against someone who has total concealment from you, which everyone does when you're blind.
