I agree. The feat isn't giving the character anything that he wouldn't already have if the player rolls well. In fact, if the player rolls well, the feat is kind of wasted.

But fixing that through feats means everyone will take those feats. |
Not only that, I could see characters multiclassing as warlocks for the sole purpose of taking this feat.

I'm currently playing in an RPGA game, so my DM has no choice but to use Sacrifice to Caiphon as is.
I'd definitely make some tweaks to the feat for a home game, though. Maybe:
- Increase damage to 5+level or so, like bganon suggested?
- Make it a paragon or epic feat?
- Restrict its use to once per encounter?
- Restrict it to primary class star warlocks?
- Change it so you have to spend a healing surge instead of or in addition to the damage?
And yet another word from our sponsors
