Quick Mechanics Question

[Radio_Star]

I'm pretty sure the answer is 'no', but can anyone give an authoritative answer as to whether or not an attack which isn't made due to awe counts towards the multiple attack penalty?

It looks like the answer is "no." I did some checking along these lines to see if Mirror Image synergizes with high defense: I modded a Phoenix to have defense 60 and had him cast an A9 Mirror Image vs. a bunch of creatures modded to have 10 attacks each, on the theory that if the synergize (if a Mirror Image'd attack doesn't count) it will take (Images x 20) attacks to whittle down his defenses enough to hit, and if they don't it will take (Images + 20). You could do something similar to check awe, but I haven't ever done so.

By the way, Mirror Image doesn't stop an attack from counting towards the penalty.
