Re: Item Mod
Mirror image is rather bugged indeed. I'm not sure if I agree with your conceptualization, though; consider, if a blind being casts enslave mind, should mirror images stop it?
The magic item mod adds to weapon #80 an area of effect 1, as far as I can see. 80 is Fire Brand, according to the weapon&armor database. My understanding is that the AoE affects the regular attack part of the weapon, and the special effects are weapons of their own - hence, the weapon should always hit every target in one square, regardless of attack or defense. (Upon closer inspection it would seem that the fire effect is integrated into the Fire Brand, so it's not a weapon of its own. Thus it's possible that also the fire part of the attack enjoys the benefits of AoE.) Isn't the damn thing also armor piercing and have base damage of 12? It's probably even better then than the morning stars with 2 attacks each, against some enemies at least. I dunno if they are overpowered without testing it out, but on the drawing table they do look pretty much a no-brainer in comparison to the other weapons available.
