[QUOTE="Mentat55, post: 4911265, member: 14840"] For Fire and Lightning, if you want a reach 3 attack, you can just call it Melee 3. But Melee touch + 2 reach would fit the general form of weapon attacks that have extra reach, which I believe are denoted Melee weapon + 1 reach (e.g., the Dread Reaper PP level 11 power and Lunging Reach, fighter encounter 1). I think Nifft's rework of Elemental Corruption is a bit cleaner, but in either case it is just too similar to Darkspiral Aura. I think that, so far, the different pact boons are quite interesting and different, both mechanically and flavorwise. I don't have a good alternative selection right now, though. I've know had some time to read the powers very carefully, more selected thoughts. [b]Channel Goristro:[/b] I think it would be cool if this was a charge attack, and you pushed the target and/or knocked it prone. Then your Demon Claw attacks could push the target and do an increased die size of damage (instead of flat extra d10 damage), or maybe you grow horns, and when you hit with Demon Claws, you can make a gore attack as a free action that does low damage and slides a target. [b]Channel Glabrezu:[/b] Again, I kind of agree with Nifft about handing out extra attacks. Perhaps your Demon Claw attacks simply grab a target, and then if you have a grabbed target, you can spend a standard action to deal damage to the target automatically? Or ongoing damage while grabbed? A low-level summoning power could summon a dretch or quasit, or an encounter power could give you dretch-like powers. No Channel Vrock? A polymorph power that grants you flight for an encounter, plus maybe some sort of spore attack or aura, would be sweet. A Channel Marilith power could involve a close burst (don't really want to hand out 6 attacks), and then turn Demon Claws into a close burst attack that targets enemies. The more I read this, the more I like it! Great work -- and may I use it for an upcoming BBEG in my campaign? [/QUOTE]
