Hideous Blow invocation and crtitical hits

[Gloombunny]

You could houserule Hideous Blow to work like that if you wanted, and that would certainly make it a better use of one's limited invocations-known, but the actual text is for a regular melee attack, not touch.

Thanks. I'm out of town and don't have my books with me, right now. So, I didn't know for sure what it said.

I kinda like the idea, but I'm not sure I'll like the clunkiness of calculating a touch attack and a melee attack on the same attack. I'll experiment before my next session.

The player in my group that plays the Warlock was all but ready to quit when he found out that he needed to make a concentration check to use Hideous Blow in a threatened square and finding out that extra dice of damage aren't multiplied for critical hits.

So, I don't want to make him any madder.
