Also, be sure not to be at charge range or keep obstacles between yourself and them if you are, because they can still take the charge action to move and attack even though they can take a standard action due to staggered.<br/><br/>Also, I stand corrected. Since acid splash is a spell and it does energy damage, it would go through damage reduction after all.<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>Of course the the way the orb works, it absorbs spell energy and converts it into force damage that blasts through the room, the shockwave causing pressure and doing crushing damage to creatures in the area. Phew, thank goodness! Samedi is not in danger of dying from that so easily, at least not in her first scene!
