Recall that it was the phenomenon of casters taking down monsters of higher CR than their level in one shot, that caused so much heartache.Greater Spell Focus bumps that up to 23. Spellcasting Prodigy bumps it up to 24. Various boom-spell PrCs can bump it even higher.A wizard with Dex 13 will be dead long before reaching 11th level, for desperate lack of AC. Try Dex 16 at minimum. Add Weapon Focus (ray) and Point-Blank Shot for extra fun.Ah, this must be an example of the post-modernist statistics they keep telling me about. First, confusing averages with individual outcomes is something they tell you to avoid in Stat 101. Second, notice that there's nothing stopping you casting a second disintegrate, if the first one fails.The AoO does not prevent the coup de grace. And anyway, who's talking about coup de grace? Just full attack the guy. Have two people do it, if necessary. If you're worried about lackeys interfering, recall that nobody wastes hold or dominate on lackeys.Tommyrot.A wizard going around on by himself, without tanks of his own to guard him, deserves to die. Heck, it happens even in 3E already.If they're as nerfed as you claim, then clearly they're not so dangerous anymore, yes?</blockquote>
