Hey folks!

I was reading through the Harbinger* PDF and I felt inspired to build an encounter using Shattered Mirror, short range teleportation, and a maze of mirrors. I did some googling to see if this has been done in PF before, and the closest I came was this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder_RPG/comments/343lw1/hall_of_mirrors_boss_fight/

Which looks like it never quite got off the ground.

I don't have a lot of experience building dungeons in general, and I'm not especially sure how to simulate the visual distortion of the mirrors from a player perspective, or how a board for this would be laid out.

Has anyone experimented with the Hall of Mirrors fight trope before, whether in Pathfinder or a different system?

Thanks folks!

Sounds like a job for: Mirror Image (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/spells/mirrorImage.html).

The mirrored images all appear in the same square as the enemies - for ease of use. Although I've seen DM's run "Mirror Image" in multiple squares on the battlefield. Although, the former is certainly easier.

If you really want to get really "reflective" - use Mirror Image AND Displacement (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/spells/displacement.html#displacement)at the same time for extra love and shenanigans!
