Hello, I have a question about swap reflections feat from alter ego archetype.
You've learned how to use even your reflection to your advantage. You send your own reflection to forcibly swap places with the reflection of an enemy, pulling each of you through opposite ends and switching places. The enemy must be within 120 feet, you must both be adjacent to reflective surfaces (such as glass, mirrors, or calm water), and you must be able to see the target's reflection and have line of effect to it. The target attempts a Will save against your spell DC or class DC, whichever is higher.
Critical Success The spell has no effect.
Success You swap positions with your target or arrive adjacent to your target, whichever your target prefers.
Failure You swap positions with your target or arrive adjacent to your target, whichever you prefer.
Critical Failure You instantaneously swap positions with your target, and the target becomes trapped in its own reflection for 1 minute. Once on each of its turns, the target can spend 1 action to attempt another Will save to escape. If the save succeeds, the effect ends early.
1/Is it possible to use on an opponent within 120 feet if you're flying ? So, the opponent are falling then if there is a failure ? 60 bludgeoning damage from the fall ?
2/ Line of effect means no obstacle between the character and the opponent. Is it considered as able to see the target with proliferating eyes ?
Thanks for your future answer.
1) How are you going to be adjacent to a reflective surface 120 feet into the air? If they have their reaction available, they'll probably have a chance to grab onto that reflective structure if it's also flying. But, if you set up that ridiculous scenario, yeah, you can probably drop them from the sky. Just remember that holding a hand mirror isn't really "adjacent".
2) That probably works- rather than line of sight, you just need to see the reflection and have line of effect.
Line of sight and line of effect are usually ruled to need a direct line. An indirect ability to see an area because of a scrying type of effect is not a direct line of sight.
This can be argued both ways, but from what I remember of the debate, the direct line ruling was a lot stronger of an argument and has less tricks, shenanigans, and unexpected effects that it allowed or prevented.
