[QUOTE="IcyCool, post: 3007185, member: 20308"] Ask away. I'll answer as best as I can remember. Pretty much exclusively with Energy Ray (cold), as far as what damaged him. He was gimped in that he was in a location where he could not take to the air for a few rounds, which limited his mobility. The wilder and the wizard both won the initiative (not hard for them to do). I think we were using Eberron actions points. Yes. Well, it takes a round to put up Temporal Acceleration, and then Schism is pretty easy to throw down. The wilder enervated once, during a Temporal Acceleration (so it pretty much didn't make a difference). She never missed (pretty hard to do with a 5% chance to miss), and she succeeded in defeating the dragon's spell resistence every time with her main blast, and several of the Schism blasts (I think action points were spent on these). The wilder rolled well on damage. Not overwhelming, but certainly above average. The wilder was never in a position to be hit by the breath weapon, due to Anticipatory Strike. The wilder repeatedly proved herself to be the most "effective" member of the party in all encounters except for the final one, where she stood around under timeless body. No problem. I will freely admit that it is entirely possible that this was a fluke (although previous performances in the game showed me that she spent a great deal of her time holding back), or that I am a poor gm. The main thing that jumps out at me with psionics are the things they can do either way better, or way earlier than their arcane equivalents. [/QUOTE]
