[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3440841, member: 29014"] :] Indeed. Just for fun, I ran the numbers on a 12th-level Psion using the simple tactic of Overchannel + Talented (to avoid damage) on Energy Ray[Fire] versus a Very Old White Dragon (CR = Party Level + 5, so this is expected to be so hard that the party automatically loses). Overchannel helps avoid SR, but still sadly 2 of the 6 attacks will be lost to SR unless the Psion has something else to raise Manifester Level, but we'll assume not. Anyway, including the 7/20 failure due to SR and the 1/20 miss chance of the ranged touch attack, the expected damage appears to be 375, which more than kills it. So the Psion kills it alone if boosted by WRT of the other party members. And that's if the other party members twiddle their thumbs for those full rounds of actions they get to take. [/QUOTE]
