hmm. the subject of an invis spell can still see himself, right? i assume so, since there's no penalty for being invisible (not being able to see your hands, your gunsights, etc). so, i wonder how feasible it'd be to kill someone by casting invis on them in a situation where not being seen would be a bad thing--crossing the street is the only example that springs to mind. it'd have to be improved inivs, in that case, or a vehicle's sensors might cause the autopilot to swerve around the subject.

IIRC, The rules for Invisibility (or Indirect Illusions in general) require a voluntary "Subject" meaning one can't do this by the rules.
However, I rule that one is aware that they are invisible (the world seems different, phased in color, no shadow, ect) and do not require voluntary subjects. Manipulation spells can duplicate them anyway. This post has been edited by Kanada Ten: Oct 31 2003, 04:31 AM |

I don't see this in the BBB, only any target within LOS. |

Yup, my group has done this. The guy was already unconsious (or dead, can't remember), then they cast invis on him and put him in the street. Right before a car hits him, they dropped the spell, the idea being that it now looks like the guy was killed by the car. "I don't know what happened, officer! One minute the street is clear, and then all the sudden there was a guy in the road! I couldn't stop in time." (Officer rolls his eyes and gets out his Blood Alcohol analyzer) My group is scary like that. |

Exactly. Directed Illusions are mental illusions - it's all in the heads of the target. There is no physical manifestation. No one sees anything but the target(s). Indirect Illusions, however, do have physical manifestations; they cast/reflect light, make noise, smell funny, taste salty, and feel slimy (whatever). Anyone who can see/hear/smell/etc. the target (or, more accurately, locus) of the spell may be affected. The resistance test is for them, not the locus, whether it is an Invisibility spell cast on a troll, or a Silence spell cast on 10kg of C-4. |
