[QUOTE="GamerRay, post: 4532040, member: 79307"] I think it's rather fun. The initial damage is comparable to Eldritch Blast, making me lean towards making this an encounter. I did have some questions though. -For the burst damage, does that mean it's a guaranteed hit to all creatures? -I see little motivation to dealing, say, 10 damage to an ally and only 4 to creatures around him. True it's damage, but the Dark Pact abilities at least make it hard to pass up killing your friends. -Does the burst dmg happen before or after the push? If before, it seems like it'd be more efficient to deal a greater amount of damage to 1 creature (that would likely be in range if your ally is). But if it happens after the push, I can see this only being beneficial as setting your ally up as a rolling minion-bomb. So here are some suggestions: -Allow it to explode on an enemy as well. -If it hits an ally, make it do 1d4 or 1d6 + Modifier damage, making it a tougher choice as to whether you should cook your ally or not. -Look at Dark Pact powers like this (as I don't have my FR book on me right now) and see whether this would fall in the encounter or daily category.
