[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7770498, member: 2525"] Someone asked the question so they answered it. That doesn't make it important or a "strong necessity" to respond. And it's even less a "strong necessity" for you to make a big deal out of a theoretical situation neither you nor anyone else here has ever encountered concerning a 0.00047299171028% chance of something odd happening IF a higher level wizard were to expend a higher level spell slot to use disintegrate on a low level half-orc NPC who also had this ability. That scenario itself has infinitesimally small odds of happening, and then we add even more infinitesimally small odds of the unusual result, and all this really adds up to is pages of debate about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. If you need a game which is "coherent" for even one in ten trillion scenarios without a DM ruling, I suspect you will remain dissatisfied with gaming your whole life. My hope however is you come around to acknowledging this is kinda an absurd debate you're having for fun and not really a serious issue for the game. [/QUOTE]
