Message: <blockquote data-quote="ThirdWizard" data-source="post: 3714086" data-attributes="member: 12037">Disintegrate is untyped damage, can affect objects, and destroys bodies negating death throes (you might mock this last one, but I've seen it used for this to great affect many times).Also I did my math wrong. 39d6 damage is more than I first estimated (bad at math). This gives it 9d6 more damage than disintegrate at 15th level, 7d6 more at 16th, 5d6 more at 17th, etc. Save for half is better, too. I don't know if this is going to affect my opinion, though. It's nice damage, but...I see disintegrate good for 3 things: defeating things with low Fortitude saves (mostly undead, but also spellcasters who have low hp already), destroying structures, and bypassing death throes. Since the new version of the spell isn't particularly good at most of these things I don't see it as that great a spell even with the increased damage, as a 6th level spell.All in all, given the two spells, I can't think of a reason not to always choose disintegrate over the suggested spell.</blockquote>
