[QUOTE="Lokiare, post: 6261687, member: 83996"] Yes, but Finger of death is a single save. Scorching Ray is one attack roll per ray for 8 rays, which means you are more likely to do some damage than no damage. You might be right. I wasn't reusing the original chance I was using the last calculated chance and squaring it. This looks much better.
