I was flipping through Dragon Magazine 266 (August 2008), and I found this heroic tier feat:
Sacrifice to Caiphon [Warlock]
Prerequisistes: Con 13, warlock
Benefit: When you attack with an encounter power that has targets and you miss all targets, then you can deal damage to yourself equal to the level of the power. If you do, you immediately recover that power.
Essentially, you can make any encounter power reliable by taking a fairly small amount of damage. The feat is not restricted to warlock powers, so a multiclass warlock can use it for his main class powers. This feat seems way more powerful that any other heroic tier feat I've seen.
Does this seem pretty overpowered to anyone else as well? Should it be in a different tier? Is the damage enough to keep this feat balanced? Or is there some mitigating factor that makes this feat weaker than it appears at first glance?
And yet another word from our sponsors
