    first of all, your spell must hit the guardian first. i suppose this part isn't that hard.

    then, you make a throw, guardian makes a fortitude saving throw and this is the hard part. fortitude saving throw has connection with constitution, which the guardin doesn't lack off (i suppose).

    it can be done because i disintegrated the guardian before. however you'll need to try a lot.

    I dont think finger of death is unbalanced. Might as well consider the reload button unbalanced then ;) :D

    You probably could kill the guardian with finger of death. I think disintegrate might work better though...I don't know why, but in my case, enemies save a lot less often with disintegrate.
    Finger of death will work, but as teekc said, you'll probably need a few tries.

    NOTE-If you decide to use disintegrate, remember to get away from the guardian quickly, since he'll still be able to hurt you for a few rounds.
