Illusion & Invisible
This would be an interesting combination.
Turn 1) Wizard Jolt the Dolt is fighting, but his exit is trapped. He takes a stab wound, for a couple of points, but it turns out the enemy falls (conveniently for this example), so Jolt is disengaged. Turn 2) Jolt goes first and steps around a dead end and goes invisible. He knows the enemies will come around and not seeing him, will assume he has gone invisible. Turn 3) The enemy haven't gotten around the corner yet so he castes an illusion of himself. This illusion has a "fatal" stab wound and Jolt has his facsimile look like he is dying. The enemies now come around and see the "dying" Jolt Illusion. Turn 4) Invisible Jolt conveniently goes around the enemies (convenient gap so as not to engage) and heads out the open door as his Illusion falls to the ground "dead". One enemy, seeing the Jolt Illusion dead, kicks him over and sees the gaping would spilling blood inside the robes. (I guess he's not bright enough not to notice no blood marks on the ground.) Enemy decides Jolt is dead. Turn 5) Invisible Jolt exits the building, allowing his Illusion to vanish in a couple of turns.

Re: Illusion & Invisible
Good tactic. If you have enough time and spell power, you can also make your own terrain to pull it off with a Wall or Shadow spell. Or you can go invisible, then make an illusion of yourself as if you were just discontinuing the invisibility, but keep up the invisibility and go in another direction.

Re: Illusion & Invisible
It could be an illusion of you pretending to collapse from your wound, which would work as well as you pretending to do so, unless they kill your illusion.
But anyone familiar with how people do(n't) tend to do that like that in TFT would be unlikely to be fooled. You could still get past them and run away. It's just a matter of how much of a head start you get, or if you have a chance they leave your illusion before figuring out it was an illusion, or not. There are quite a few possible clever tricks that clever players can try... some of which can fool PCs. Maybe best not to try to list all of them. |
