| Jul 11, 2016 at 0:18 | comment | added | GMJoe | @JesseCohoon True, that; Grappling wasn't the best example. My point was that you can be completely aware of the existence of a glamour without any ability to see through it, which is a bit different to the save-to-disbelieve-on-interaction mechanic that many other illusions have. | |

| Jul 8, 2016 at 3:51 | comment | added | GMJoe | Note that many glamours don't actually allow saving throws to disbelieve; You continue to perceive the illusion even if you know it's an illusion. Invisibility is the classic example: You can be perfectly aware there's an invisible creature in the room, and even grapple it, but you can't make a saving throw to see it. | |

| Jul 7, 2016 at 16:13 | comment | added | Hey I Can Chan | @JesseCohoon While, for example, the spell greater shadow conjuration can simulate major creation to make a bridge, I'm pretty sure a Wiz13 has a better way than using her top-level spell to get her buddies across a chasm (cf. dimension door). | |
