I have just used Simulacrum for the first time, and was pretty amazed by how good it is, so good in fact that I wonder if this is an exploit/bug, or intended. I also have a few general questions about these illusion type spells...
I am playing BG 2 Vanilla (GoG) with BG2 Fixpack, no other mods.
1) It seems to duplicate equipped items, like my Simulacrum managed to stun enemies with Celestial Fury. That seems amazing. But what's more crazy is that I can apparently use lower level spells without exhausting the main character's spellbook! And what's even more crazy than that is that I can use charged items without using them up for the main toon! That seems kinda abusive... I haven't tried this yet, but I can imagine just equipping the most OP scrolls (Timestop?) in the game and using them without losing them over and over, which totally ignores the fact that the Simulacrum only has spells equivalent to 60% of xp of the character.
2) Do Simulacrum, Project Image and Mislead count towards the summon limit?
3) Lore-wise, am I right in understanding that Project Image and Mislead are kinda opposites, in that Mislead creates a decoy, which can't do much except move, whilst the real wizard is allowed to move around, cast spells etc, and the decoy can be destroyed or dispelled. Project Image creates a illusion of the wizard that can move around and cast spells, but his physical body stays behind, and cannot move or do anything.
4) Are the any changes to how these spells work in BG 2 EE?
