If it hits.

At a +23 ranged touch attack he'd fricking better hit!

Remember that a scorching ray, at CL 7 and above, creates multiple rays, each one of which requires a separate attack roll, and each one of which is subject to any fire resistance of the target. So a maximised scorching ray at CL 11+ consists of three rays each doing 24 points of damage.

yes I should say, they had better fricking hit.

As a house rule, I always give snake-like creatures, such as nagas, the movement and skill benefits of snakes. Nagas have climb and swim speeds equal to their (conventional) speed, and:

Skills: Snakes have a +4 racial bonus on Hide, Listen, and Spot checks and a +8 racial bonus on Balance and Climb checks. A snake can always choose to take 10 on a Climb check, even if rushed or threatened. Snakes use either their Strength modifier or Dexterity modifier for Climb checks, whichever is higher. A snake has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.

Set your terrain up right, and nagas become far more interesting and versatile combatants.

I had a great deal of fun by having my advanced Spirit Naga use a Shield Guardian for extra HP. Turn it invisible to keep it alive longer.

I believe there's a feat in Sandstorm that allows your Fire spell to overcome someone's energy resistance or even immunity. There's a similar one in Frostburn for Cold spells. You could use that instead of maximize and equip the naga with a maximize metamagic rod.
