The spell, as written in the PHB2 pg. 116:
Legion of Sentinels
Illusion (Shadow)
Level: Beguiler 3, sorcerer/wizard 3
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Area: 10-ft.-radius emanation centered
on a point in space
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
A phalanx of spectral swordfighters appears. Their blades are drawn, and they stand ready to strike.
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 swordfighter miniature figure.
Errata posted on the Wizards site:Should include the following text at the end of its description: “The swordsmen’s attacks are at a bonus equal to your caster level, they threaten critical hits on a 19 or 20, and they deal 1d8 points of slashing damage with a +1 bonus per three caster levels (max +5). They only make attacks of opportunity, and their weapon damage is slashing and is affected by damage reduction.”
Can the swordfighters make multiple AoOs per round? Would it make the spell OP if they could? I was thinking that a few sculpted Legion of Sentinels (into a 120-ft. line) running parallel to a fortress wall/gate would be one of the best defenses against an invading army, until I realized they could rush through and only the first few soldiers per group would die. What does the mighty Playground think?
