This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Skarg;848819I see. That's cool, and makes sense for a chaotic failure result. It also avoids people trying to game failures by knowing exactly how they work.

For the doubling effects though, I was wondering about successes. Does it have to be used to make an escape? Can you instruct your double to attack the enemy, so essentially this gets you a disposable suicide copy of yourself? Can your double cast spells?

It specifically says "double the duration", so no. You'd only extend the duration by x2.
No thanks.

Ok, but that's not what I meant by doubling. I meant, it says you can tell your double to do something, and run. What if you also know other spells, including something you could cast without directly affecting others so you won't lose the invisibility. Can you tell your double to cast obvious spells, or stay and fight, while you, instead of running away, stick around and cast spells that won't get you discovered? Or even, say you know this spell and fireball - can you cast this spell, tell the double to cast fireball, and then not care about your invisibility and cast fireball yourself. i.e. Can you use it not to run away, but to create a friendly doppleganger and so double your own fighting power?

Ah, yes - I see now.

It is an illusion, and cannot physically manipulate anything. It otherwise works as a mirror image, albeit under your control, while you are invisible.
No thanks.
