Movement needed to avoid the damage while still being able to cast the spell. This even took place in our game last night (as I thought it might). The character made his reflex save and I called for a save vs the spell dc per above which he failed. A case can be made, I think, for the dc to be based on movement as Darklone said. I thought about this too but it wasn't so in this case. While the character had a Resist Energy (Fire) up the spell he was effected by was a Delayed Blast Fireball - 12 dice. 43 points of damage rolled -20 for the Resist makes the DC 33.  I can see where it could be the case in some instances.Is that a bad thing though? Per the text on Reflex save it is... well, reflexive. You do it without thinking. Even with a Resist Fire spell up you are going to try and twist out of the way of flames coming at you and if you are casting a spell at the time there should be a chance for the spell to fail (I think).rv</blockquote>
