This is a question for all you people who think Wraithstrike is broken, going by RAW. (A viewpoint I happen to agree with.) --If I understand the general consensus correctly, Wraithstrike is broken because it allows a gish to dump all of his BAB into Power Attack, for a +2 bonus per point to damage with a two-handed weapon (which most gishes will use anyways because a shield gives ASF anyways and one hand needs to be free for spellcasting). --To a lesser extent this also applies to feats like Combat Expertise as well.
What if Wraithstrike were given the clause "For the duration of the spell, you cannot apply penalties to your attack roll to gain bonuses to any other attribute, such as damage or AC. Should you already have any such adjustments when the spell is cast, for the duration of the spell you do not gain that bonus; only the penalty applies."
What do you think? In particular, I'd like to know of anything that might still 'break' this spell that I have not thought of.
