[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 2157152, member: 2011"] Maybe in theory, but not always in practice. Last night we had an epic battle of 3 times as many demons (mostly Dretches) as PCs. The Kineticist used up a lot of rounds and PPs attempting various Energy Missiles, most of which did very little or no damage. After a few rounds of fire and acid not affecting them much, the War Mage started crushing them right and left with Rain of Stone (or whatever that area affect stone spell is that War Mages get). Eventually, the Kineticist attempted a Sonic Energy Missile and then started affecting them. But by then, it was much later in the combat after most PCs were seriously wounded (which in our game matters) or unconscious and heavily depleted on abilities (i.e. spells, PPs, etc.). The main reason was that there are not that many defenses against Rain of Stone since Damage Reduction does not apply against spells and Rain of Stone is not an energy attack that they get resistance to.
