So you have no solid on either part.  Gotcha...
I also take into account intelligence and the level of the illusion.

A level 1 illusion with say a 18 Int might realize its not solid yet a

Hello,
    My Powers & Perils Spell List can now be found at http://pnp.homeip.net
I recently converted the database to mySQL so some of the features (such as
Search) don't work yet.  I hope to have all features working by this
weekend.
