Project Image

Evocation [Figment]
Circle: Tactician 6
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: [Medium]
Effect: One shadow duplicate
Duration: [Encounter]
Saving Throw: Will; see text

This spell creates an illusionary image of you. The image appears, sounds, and smells real to and blocks the line of sight of all creatures except you, creatures whose Awareness surpass your Believability check result, and creatures who make a successful Will save against this spell. Its sound, smell, and appearance, including posture, mimic your own and change accordingly if yours change, except when you spend an action to move, you may choose for it not to mimic your appearance during that action. The image has an AC equal to your AC.

Upon casting this spell, you make a Believability check (1d20 + your level + your Intelligence modifier). The caster, creatures whose Awareness surpass your Believability check result, and creatures who make a successful Will save against this spell know immediately when perceiving the image that it is an illusion, seeing only a shadowy outline that does not meaningfully obstruct their senses instead. [Blinded] creature have [Immunity] to this spell and do not perceive this spell at all. Once per [Round], as a swift or immediate action, or as part of a move action, a creature that recognizes the image is likely an illusion may make a Will save to disbelieve it. Whenever a creature with line of sight to the image is dealt damage or forced to make a saving throw by an effect to which its line of sight is blocked by the image, or whenever it hits the image with an attack, it recognizes the image is likely an illusion. The GM may also rule that other sensory cues or movement causes a creature to recognize that an image is likely an illusion.

You can hear and establish line of sight as though you occupied any square the image occupies. You may cast any spell with a range other than "you" as though you occupied any square the image occupies. If you do, the image provokes attacks of opportunity as though it cast that spell. You do not provoke attacks of opportunity for casting a spell this way. As a free action, you may cause the image to instantly disappear and reappear in another space within the spell's range without it physically passing through the intervening squares.

If you do not have line of effect to the image, or when you activate a [Teleport] effect, this spell ends.
