Permanent Hallucination -- Disbelieve?


Rules Questions

Liberty's Edge

Permanent Hallucination: "This spell functions as audiovisual hallucination, except that the phantasm you create includes visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile, and thermal components, and the phantasm follows a complex script. The phantasm follows that script without your having to concentrate on it and can react to stimuli the target perceives, as appropriate for the script. Unlike most illusions with a save to disbelieve, if the target disbelieves a permanent hallucination, she can choose to end the effect entirely at any time."

Note that audiovisual hallucination refers to auditory hallucination, which has a will save.

My concern is the statement, "Unlike most illusions with a save to disbelieve, if the target disbelieves a permanent hallucination, she can choose to end the effect entirely at any time."

(1) Can the target choose to disbelieve and not even need a roll and automatically disbelieve?

(2) Or do they need to make a successful will save to disbelieve?

No. Disbelieve = making your save.

This. It's not a choice to disbelieve; "disbelieving" is simply the term for making your Will save against an illusion.


If your Hallucination is making your prison cell bearable, or even pleasant, you may want to keep it around even when you know it isn't real. It's wording makes perfect sense.


A pity you can't cast if for yourself though - the caster of an illusion doesn't get a save to begin with... :p
