Based on that, yes, unless the monster card's description of Displacement indicate otherwise. Regardless, the effect should also clearly state a 'No Effect' or similar call given when the ranged spell or attack misses to indicate something did not affect the creature, so subsequent attacks (if the Displacement remains in effect) would hopefully clue the caster in that something is wrong when every spell is resisted to no effect. (I don't remember offhand but I believe it's typically the next 1-4 attacks before the Displacement is negated or 'figured out', but I could be wrong.) | ||

The Caster must call a Hold and state ‘Displacement’ to explain the effect, then may take 5 steps in any direction before play is resumed. All ranged attacks miss the Caster for the duration of the combat regardless of whether a successful melee attack was made or not. Once the next combat is over or one hour elapses, the effects are dispelled. | ||
