The current Displacement spell change text can be interpreted in multiple ways:
SF Illusion increases the number of MIRROR IMAGEs by 2. GSF by additional 2, so GSF illusionist can have a maximum of 5 MIRROR IMAGEs out at the same time (still only one long lasting, wandering decoy)
I suggest replacing it with (underlined)
SF Illusion increases the max number of MIRROR IMAGEs you can summon by 2. GSF by additional 2, so GSF illusionist can have a maximum of 5 MIRROR IMAGEs out at the same time (still only one long lasting, wandering decoy)
The current text suggests the number of illusions on cast is increased (as i assumed)
While this is probably a good suggestion, I don't understand the base subject - displacement mirror images - enough to make the edit. Anyone else?
I was referring to the spell changes post:

Wiki aswell:

So what you're saying is that it allows you to cast the spell five times, creating fives mirror images with GSF illusion? I guess that can get confusing with the old wording. I'll see it changed ASAP on the wiki if someone dosin't correct me, or beat me to it.
Can someone verify that this is correct, and that it is supposed to only increase the maximum number of mirror illusions?

Yes, only the max number is increased. You need to cast displacement multiple times to get more illusions.
This is a bit contradicting with the spell as its partially a non stacking buff.(the concealment part)
And you would need a party of 5 to get the benefit of GSF illusion without wasting the concealment part.
I also noticed the illusions, when cast on yourself, all start injured even if you are full HP so its pretty obvious who the illusion is.
Assume its related to this change:
QuoteMirror Image makes a weak copy of the target. The copy has all stats dropped to 3. If target is the caster itself, constitution remains whatever the caster has as a base.
Made the edit on the wiki. Thanks for the report :D
I'm not sure how to effect how injured the mirror imaged is, short of not having the summon's constitution reduced, or a heal spell scripted in to be cast on the mirror image on summon.
Both of these are on the DM side, if they want it to happen.
Cheers!
