So would you also disallow someone casting a spell and Taunt in the same round, as "the one mouth" is used for cssting the spell?
I would allow it in a heartbeat since ED is magically unreal in other instances as well. Trying to shoehorn some logic into ED isn't always the best way to go, imo.

Re: Disbelieving damaging illusions
I would really love for a dev to comment on this as I feel that a big part of the Illusionist Discipline has been severely merged, or at least not explained properly. In the our campaign, as soon as there is high circle opponents, or dragons, horrors etc, the only reasonable attack I have is True Ep...

Re: Disbelieving damaging illusions
That is why the only spells in the book that are disbeleavable are spells that look exactly like spells that are not disbeleavable. A spell effect is pretty worthless if it is known to always 100% of the time be fake. Well, if the target knows that the caster is an Illusionist he’d be quite safe to...

Re: Disbelieving damaging illusions
I agree that using a standard action to make a disbelieve test is way too much, but 1 strain feels like an ok cost.

Re: Disbelieving damaging illusions
Straight from the ED4 rulebook page 267 ... disbelieve prior to the Spellcasting test being made Ah, OK, that is the confusion. You said "before the spell is cast" a couple of times, and said that the target has no way of knowing anything about the spell or even if they would be targeted by it. but...

Re: Disbelieving damaging illusions
I am not certain why Ferretmonger stated so positively that the target has to have said he was disbelieving before the spell is cast. He stated it with surprising certitude for a concept that I had never heard before. Straight from the ED4 rulebook page 267 Illusionists have access to spells that a...

Re: Disbelieving illusions
The thing is, if I knew someone was an Illusionist, I would disbelieve everything he threw at me. Worst case is that it is a “True” spell, in which case my Mystic Defense would be lowered...but that wouldn’t do that much more damage so that It would really matter in the long run, and even IF I didn’...

Disbelieving damaging illusions
Regarding disbelieving illusions, specifically damaging spells, how do you go about deciding when an NPC chooses to disbelieve a spell or not, before it is cast? Does everyone get to disbelieve, all the time? And why should they disbelieve? Do they have specific knowledge regarding the spell being c...
