panda, I didn't misinterpret, I just mixed my answer to you with my answer to Xamenos due to a similar point (your complaints about not taking into account gear/buffing), and it may have come across like that.
Let's be clear that the thread started as a general discussion on wizards and spell penetration. Not dedicated builds that try to achieve something very specific. This has all been discussed early, and I explain everything there.
We got a bit more focused for Octavia against Astradaemon, but please understand that the first reason for the experiment was to discuss earlier points. Naturally, Lann desreved his answers for his participation too. The participants didn't care much about Allied Spellcaster, so I left it out by lvl12 and took the Penetrations instead. I cannot force people to take Allied Spellcaster on everyone and adjust their tactics accordingly, it is up to them.
That said, you are making a good point, and I can agree that you can resolve all the issues with SR for an investment of a bunch of penetration feats across companions and the according tactics.
LannTheStupid,
First of all, panda seems to be a wise man on the matter. Secondly, any specific reason why you don't like Evocation on Octavia? I can't answer if I don't understand this.
If character for some strange reason really really wants to kill with rays he'll be an elf with couple of allied spellcasters and won't depend on random ass rng at all.
