Armor classes, chances to hit, and all other dexterity bonuses are raised. Gem of Illusory Image: This gem worn on a necklace allows the wearer to assume an illusory form or image of any humanoid, creature, monster, or object of approximately the same size as the wearer. to any outside observer the illusory image will appear to be real in shape, sound, smell, and even touch.

Any creature within an area 20 feet long by 5 feet wide, not necessarily in a straight line, can be entangled by a single strike. If the rope is seen or noticed the creature has a chance to jump out of the way without becoming entangled 1-2 on a d6. If a single creature is being attacked he has only a 1 in six chance to escape the initial strike. A creature or group surprised by the attack will automatically be entangled.
