Armor Interference (Major)
Bulky armor interferes with an illusionist’s manual dexterity and the intense concentration it takes to maintain their visual chicanery. They have the Armor Interference (Major) Hindrance.
Strong Illusions
The caster’s illusion spells can fill a Large Blast Template and always have the Strong modifier for free. If a foe successfully disbelieves, however, he sees through all that caster’s illusions for the remainder of the encounter.
