Hedrack - Destruction spell...mistake in DC?
Hedrack cast Destruction on one of my players tonight, and his description says that spell DC = 19 + spell level. Destruction is listed as 7th level in the PHB and in the module, the PC rolled 23 but I decared him dead because the DC according to the book is 26. This being an important PC to the group they wanted to know what was up, and Hedrack's WIS bonus is +5, the spell level is 7, plus 10 is only 22. There is no update in the Errata thread that I can find.
So what gives? Should the character have lived or have died?

I found it - for anyone interested the DC is based on his Insanity score. Character dead!

Does he have Spell Focus in the school? Still, there's no way it should be that high. 17+spell level at most. Unless he's using 3.0 Spell Focus and Greater Spell Focus. Then its possible. That would make 10+5WIS+2SF+2GSF=19. But if you're running 3.5 then the mas for 20 WIS is 17+spell level.

As Joe notes, Hedrack has a massive Insanity score making his effective Wis for DCs a 28 (+9). So the 19+SL is right...

That's what makes Hedrack awesome. I had fun playing him. Especially in his 1 vs all fight with the party (hey, he's insane, and was angry that Tessimon lost. I played a bit of a connection between them.)
I almost want to be able to play a cleric of Tharizdun just to powergame :P
Oh - and Hedrack won that fight btw. Almost TPK if the wizard hadn't teleported.

Even in 3.5, with greater spell focus and an owl's wisdom spell, his DC becomes an impossible 30. That reeks powergaming to me. Go Monte!
