So you want to know how to play an Illusionist . 
Should I tell you the secret to making the most fun character in the 
world ? Why not!
 
First step is having a character who is a quick thinker , and is able 
to prowl well . You will need to hide to enjoy the effect of making 
your enemies go mad .

Use the Illusionist powers in the following way .

SOUND- Used for distractions or to deafen an opponent . Can also be 
used to disguise your sounds as something else . In other words , if 
the person fails his save , you have complete control over what they 
hear .

VISUALS BUT NO SOUND - My classic example is known as " there 's 
something in the oven ". My Dwarven Illusionist had disgusied himself 
as some guard in a kitchen and was using imitate voices to complete 
the disguise . There was also one other guard in the place . My dwarf 
told him something scary was in the oven and played the part of the 
coward , so the buddy went over to check . While he was walking over 
I had plenty of time to get control over his visual senses . When he 
opened the oven , a "giant octupus "ate him , big coincidence huh? 
Well the next guy fell for it as well untill my dwarf was the only 
one left . Put your illusions in places where only one person could 
possibly see what is going on so even the people who can't see it 
will believe it .

Yours in a made up reality of my own imagination ,
Mithril the Dwarf .
