i am trying to find if a rogue in mirror image benefits of the sneak attack against opponents.

I think that the opponents do not know where the attack will exactly come from and that they loose their dexterity against that kind of attacker.

Your opinion ?

But the LGCS has specific directions for how Mirror Image is handled, and it does not allow for this possibility. Check the LGCS... all images are in the same space, no additional benefits, roll randomly to determine what you hit when you fire at the creature.
