[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7363694, member: 23751"] That's not how it works or reads, though. It goes like this. **asuming the bear and druid have 50** Deal damage ( 80) via disintegrate. the bear takes 50 [B]Bear hits 0 hit points and then reverts(read wildshape. It specifically says this)[/B] [B]At the same time as above bear has hit 0 hit points, which triggers disintegrate and dusts the druid.(read disintegrate, it specifically triggers at 0)[/B] Don't bother to deal the remaining 30 as dead dust can't take damage. No. Nowhere in the spell does it require that the damage be complete before dusting the druid. RAW only requires the druid to hit 0, which he did per the wildshape RAW. You are re-writing disintegrate to require some sort of damage completion, which it does not have written into it. You have to ignore both logic(by skipping the steps that are written into the spell and wildshape) AND the rules as written in order for you to be correct in your interpretation. You also have to ignore the official Sage Advice which says you are wrong. This is no longer open to interpretation. It is only open to being house ruled into the druid surviving. Feel free to do so. Um, I posted the official text. The Sage Advice consists of official specific rules clarifications and this situation has been decided by the company. [/QUOTE]
