| Jun 4, 2019 at 3:30 | comment | added | Dungarth | @MarkWells English is not my primary language, but I was under the impression that "explicit" meant "stated clearly and in detail, leaving no room for confusion or doubt". The only things that appear to be explicitely described as possible are moving the illusion and producing sound. Nothing in the description could even be implicitely interpreted as permitting other actions, and thus should not be permitted according to RAW. If individual DMs prefer to use "Rule of Cool", that's entirely their prerogative, and I have absolutely nothing against it. | |

| Jun 2, 2019 at 17:02 | comment | added | Dungarth | @MaikoChikyu Major image explicitly states that the only control you have over the illusion is to make it move from one spot to another or emit sound, which it will do in a natural fashion. Dodging attacks doesn't seem to be within the possibilities of this spell. On the other hand, Project Image and Mislead both allow you to make the illusion "behave in whatever way you choose", which should include more complex actions such as dodging attacks. | |
| Jun 2, 2019 at 12:19 | comment | added | Maiko Chikyu | You claim it is impossible to achieve what OP wants which is wrong. The OP can use their action to simulate dodging till round 10 | |
| Jun 2, 2019 at 8:18 | comment | added | Dungarth | @MaikoChikyu OP asked to provide alternatives if it wasn't possible to perform with major image. Like you said, once the NPC hits the illusion, it will be revealed as such. The only way to control when this happens is to let the illusion be hit on purpose. Otherwise, you are at the mercy of the NPC's accuracy. If the monk manages to hide from the NPC before casting Project Image, it should work just fine. Mislead also turns the monk invisible, making it a bit easier to perform. How does that not achieve the desired results? | |
| Jun 2, 2019 at 7:55 | comment | added | Maiko Chikyu | I believe OP intends for the monk being revealed as an illusion when the blade goes through. The intention is for the monk to dodge for 10 rounds while the group flees | |
