The warlock in the epic game is Star + Fey, but if he were Star + Infernal instead the cost for using the feat would be next to nil a lot of the time, especially for lower level powers like Frigid Darkness and Far Realm Phantasm (steals an action from the enemy and gives a fighter a possible combat Challenge attack, as well as lowering Will defense temporarily). |
You may not even need to worry about temporary hit points. Dreadful Word is a level one power, but it can be spectacularly useful for Starlocks and their parties, helping to ensure that all the nastiest Will-based attacks (like a powered-up Sleep) consistently hit. The cost to activate the Sacrifice and reuse Dreadful Word if it misses is one measly hit point.
And yet another word from our sponsors
