Okay, fine, you got me that time. I actually didn't expect them to outright have an in-book example like that.

It's still a terrible spell choice to use with that feature, though.

I don't disagree with you on that lol, but flat-footed helps get a crit on the strike, which translates into a crit on the spell effects and 1 worse degree of success on the save so that's why it's a popular choice for spellstrike


You can do some nutty damage with disintegrate on a critical hit. It may not work a lot, but when it does it is brutal.

For the record, Disintegrate is a bad damaging spell due to requiring both an attack roll and the most highly-valued save (which means it's not allowed by default for Spellstrike, and suffers from reduced DC scaling), and is more of a utility spell than anything. .

Could you expand on what you mean here?

Nothing about either disintegrate or Spellstrike, not only that, the interaction with disintegrate is literally used in the example text for the rules

Spellstrike, Secrets of Magic pg. 37 wrote:
Multiple Defenses: Any additional rolls after the initial spell attack still happen normally, such as the Fortitude save attempted by the target of a disintegrate spell. Similarly, a spell that allows you to attack with it again on subsequent rounds would only combine a Strike with its initial attack roll, not with any later ones.

This isn't a "you got me" moment, it illustrates you don't have a full grasp of the rules you are arguing about.
