I shall ignore the things that other people have already mentioned. #1: The queen can only spend up to her level worth of PP on a single power unless she has Overchannel, and even then she only gets +3. Thus she can't spend "30 PP to make the Save DC 35."  Next: Kensai's good save is Will, so why are you throwing a Will Save at him? This is not to say that a Reflex save would work well either, as his class ability lets him sub in a Concentration check, but surprisingly, Fortitude will be his worst base save (although Kensai often boost their Con to raise Concentration checks, so you never know). In any event, if the Kensai is buffed, he will almost certainly make the Will save (Morrus is just lucky he was a Samurai/Kensai and not a Samurai/Paladin/Kensai) on Death Urge and completely negate it, and he might be immune to compulsions. Not a good choice. Next: Since she can't spend nearly as many PP to raise the DCs of her Save-or-Dies(plus PCs are often immune to these), it should be clear by now that Save-or-Die isn't going to work very well. Greater Psionic Endowment is not as constructive a use of her focus as Metapsionic feats (allowing her to potentially cast 4 spells in a round where she has maxed out focus, and then 3 spells every round after [1 schism, 1 twinned, 1 quickened]). Next: Dominating the archer? Magic circle protects against it, as do several other effects. That said, its probably the only thing you've suggested that the character will likely fail the save. Of course, the Schismed mind cannot concentrate on one of your own effects for you (but then, you could just have the Schismed mind manifest the Dominate in the first place, so not a big deal). Next: Why would you decerebrate the paladin? He has good Fortitude, a Prestige Class with good Fortitude, and Divine Grace. If he's at all competent, there's no way he'll fail that save. And the cleric can just cast Greater Restoration anyways. Next: Crisis of Life is a death effect, so diviner is probably immune. If not, he is likely to fail his save, but I doubt the party left this opening if they're as smart as Morrus says. Next: She doesn't get Telekenetic Manoeuvre racially, as she is a Githzerai and not a Githyanki, but hey, she might still have it anyways.  Last: Why are all those Energy Bursts not Swarms of Crystals? They're probably resistant to whichever Energy type is chosen, and either way, they get a Reflex save. If you like broken Energy attacks though, try Energy Missile. The Reflex save on that power goes up by 1/PP instead of 1/2PP, so its DCs will likely be much higher compared to Energy Ball (plus it hits 5 people you target, which is more than the burst if they spread out).</blockquote>
