I was gonna comment, "Perkus CL is 24 (equal to his HD unless otherwise specified)." until I reread the true dragon spell-like ability section and realized his CL is 6th (adult age). Of course, that makes it impossible for Perkus to even take empower spell-like ability for searing light in the first place. Given the fact that these things move through the blade barrier without a care, I don't think that he will even bother in the future with the spell-like abilities at all (and I just realized that dragon's spell-like abilities are pretty useless at high-levels).PJSlavner said:The ray of light hits C1 (rolled 32 ranged touch), but has no effect (rolled 17 CL check).
