When trying to clarify problematic rules in OD&D I like to have a look at the literature that inspired the rule. For example the Chainmail rule about Heros being able to shoot down dragons with a single arrow is clearly a nodd to Bard killing Smaug in The Hobbit.

Along this line of thought: what is the literary precedent for Phantasmal Forces? Any idea?

@wandererbill Most directly, a bunch of illusion traps in Conan and Fafhrd & Grey Mouser, where strong will or stupidity dissolves them into mist.

@wandererbill For this one, I can't help but think about Wile E. Coyote getting hit by a train coming out of a fake tunnel painted on the side of a mountain.

@nono nice one ... but is does Coyote suffer real damage or just phantasmal damage? 😂
