Is there really a safty margin with Disintergrate?

If you have more than 240 HP you're safe from disintegrate. At least... safe assuming nothing else hits you.

Edit: I know this is the wrong XL, but what do you think? Barb/Sorc

True Strike applies to one attack per casting; yeah, the Great Cleave trick is probably valid, but only good for clearing mooks; and at 6th, a stright-classed Sorceror can fireball them all for 6d6 damage (average 21 points of damage) while the Barbarian's attack does 2d6+14 (Also average 21). Granted, the Fireball can't crit, but then again, the Great Cleave can miss, fail to drop an opponent (and thus end the attack chain) while the Fireball simply hits everyone in the area. It's even at that level - but one more level, and the Sorceror is dealing 7d6 (avg 24.5) with a Fireball, while the Barbarian's Great Cleave trick is doing 2d6+16 (average 23).

Hmmm, true. Tough to say which is better though, since if you've got allies in the area, a Fireball is going to hit them as well. Psh, fighter classes. Puny damage, the lot of 'em. Aargh how'd it get to be 6 am already...

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

If you spent as much time fighting enemies as you do threatening me... hmm... we'd be quite a bit higher level

Maybe. But you keep insulting us.

From the grey-elf monster entry:
Quote:
Taller and grander in physical appearance than others of their race, gray elves have a reputation for being aloof and arrogant (even by elven standards).
Plus, I find that in general, people with significantly more education than those around them tend to be snobbish (I myself fall into that trap frequently ), add the fact that certain members of the party have mentioned a lack of interest in books...

Stisnera is not in any way responsible for the behaviour of the Grey Elf. I repeat, she did not transfer her winning personality to the Grey Elf.

Hahaha, did Stisnera have a similarly charming personality? I sense a wizardly connection... hey, that old guy had a nice personality. Makes his grand entrance by trapping Kibin again
