Is there really a safty margin with Disintergrate?

As I recall, the Disintegrate that killed Kaylin did 90-something damage. Disintegrate is not technically save-or-die, it's save-or-take LOTS of damage. Specifically, 2d6 per caster level (max 40d6). The average for a 20th level caster is 40 * 3.5 = 140 damage, which you could actually survive in only a few more levels with good hp rolls and a full +6 con item. Also, that's the average damage and at maximum caster level; lucky rolls (for you) could make it a bit less, and each caster level below 20 lowers the average by 7. And then there's the bonus to fort saves from constitution, which gives you a better chance of reducing it to a mere 5d6 regardless of caster level.

Kibin does a full sneak attack round on Violist, for an average of about 75 damage. Instant kill!

And Kibin discovers that 75 damage just isn't enough any more, as Kaylin just got an Amulet of Health +6 and now has over 90 hp
. She doesn't actually have it yet, but I seem to recall Violist agreeing when I suggested it a while back and we are just outside the magic shop.
