Epic spell focus illusion
Hi I recently leveled and chose epic illusion.
I know you can use it as a copy of yourself to fool others into thinking its you there killing...
But.....
When testing the command so you can copy yourself to fight for you or whatever, I found that it was very lacking, you would think since it is a copy of a caster that it would copy feats, immunity's depending on what form your using (such as fire elemental) and other traits from gear that the player is wearing, instead of nothing.
I think it need a little upgrade, what do you think?

Re: Epic spell focus illusion
I disagree as its not supposed to mimic the Shadowlord feat which is much closer to what you discuss and requires complete focus in like 16 SDer levels to acquire such

Re: Epic spell focus illusion
The RP usefulness of the double seems kind of limited. What if instead you could create almost any creature from the toolset, but it would only have a few hit points? Or create temporary illusionary fixtures like signs and walls and chests?
To be fair the message sending ability is very very nice.

It's very useful as is, there's no need for it to be a big pve buff too.
Thankfully this team is no longer being used.

The image would be a lot better if it was possessable. At its current state you need to stay very close to it and in the same line of vision to be able to RP through your image.

Are you using the player1 tool?
Re: Epic spell focus illusion
I'd argue you'd need to have epic divination too, to possess an illusion of yourself and see through it.
Now I've never played an epic illusionist. But I think by investing in stealth you could have most conversations while hiding behind a corner. Works especially well if you're a shadow weave mage with HiPs. I've considered a character like that for a while, but never gotten around to it.

Possessing the illusion would run the risk of corrupting the character data if there was a crash while possessing.
