PROJECT IMAGE: Baldur's Gate 2 BG2

Project Image BG2

Project Image is a BG2 Best Spell of Illusion spells BG2 type in BioWare's cRPG of 2000, Baldur's Gate 2.

Exploitative breaking of the summon and trap-setting caps aside (5 and 7, respectively), it's the expanded spellslots and special abilities that demand Project Image be be highly ranked.

Project Image is a god-tier spell.

With Project Image active as well as Wizard Eye and summon spells such as Animate Dead, Mages won't ever attract aggro as their "devices" wipe the dungeons clean.

Note that PI clones can use quick slot items, unlike Mislead.

As with many god-tier spells, PI isn't needed in any of BG2's cRPG combat encounters. Why is that? Because BG2 is easy. Playing around with PIs is fun for a while, but they are ultimately extraneous and gratuitous outside of SCS BG2. But SCS BG2 now relies on BG2 Fixpack, which removes the exploit.

This copy can move around, it has the same hit points and can cast the same spells however it cannot make any physical attacks. If the image is destroyed then the spell ends and the caster can move again. Also if during this time the caster takes any damage, the image will disappear and the caster can move around again. Otherwise the image will remain for the duration of the spell or until affected by a dispel magic or anything that dispels illusions such as True Sight.
