Thanks, all!

I think this is a great idea. It never came up with my players - they
recognized Displacer Beasts from AD&D immediately, and knew the image was
not what they needed to aim at. But if a party is still trying to kill the
image after three or four turns, this would be a good way to give them a
hint. Maybe even allow 6/IQ for anyone, if the players are really stubborn.

re: Image/Illusion/Figment/Hologram - cool ideas for spells. For the
Displacer beast, my desire was for the projected whatever-it-is to be able
to decoy off an infinite stream of attacks, without ever going away. An
endless supply of Images, re-created at need, seemed like the simplest way
for the creature to do this. As Prophesor pointed out, I used Apep as
precedent.

Also, I like the magic item tie-ins - thanks, Prophesor!
