<How many hit points does a line-eater have?>

   In the discussion of the "reality" of illusions, I still can't justify one
aspect in my mind.  If you accept that an illusionist can cast a bridge over
a chasm, and PCs and NPCs who believe it is there can actually walk across on
the illusion of the bridge, what of the logical inverse of the idea?  That is,
if an illusionist casts an illusion over a mountain range, making it appear not
to be there, could I, the unsuspecting dumb fighter-type walk right through it?
It would seem to be consistent, but that, to me, is stretching things a bit.
