Legion of Sentinels: Ghostly swordsmen threaten a 10-foot radius, deal 1d8 damage +1/3 Levels (Max +5)
Legion of Sentinels
Illusion [Shadow]
Level: Beguiler 3, Sorcerer/Wizard 3
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 Standard Action
Range: Close (25ft + 5ft. / 2 Levels)
Area: 10ft.-Radius Emanation Centered on a Point in Space
Duration: 1 Round/Level
Saving Throw: None
SR: No
A ghostly, incorporeal swordfighter appears in each square covered by this spell's area. A swordfighter can share a space with another creature or object. Each swordfighter threatens the squares adjacent to it and can make one attack of opportunity per round. The swordfighters do not hinder movement, block terrain, or block line of effect. They can flank an opponent with each other and with your allies.
Each swordfighter has hit points equal to twice your caster level and an Armor Class of 25. It makes saving throws or checks with a bonus equal to your caster level.
Material Component: A pewter sword-fighter miniature figure.
Is it just me, or is this a confusing spell?
The spell summary says it deals damage, but the spell description doesn't mention it at all, aside from the fact that they get AoO. On top of that, it doesn't dictate who is a target for these illusory swordsmen. Is the caster immune to it? Because it doesn't say he is. In addition, do they effect corporeal creatures? It says they're corporeal, and says nothing about them effecting corporeal creatures...
And to top it all off, I have a Beguiler in my game asking me about it...
