[QUOTE="paradox42, post: 3229394, member: 29746"] Aha, this is even better than having Acid damage (or any other energy type for that matter). :] Also, since the Alienoid is supposed to be psi-like instead of spell-like, it's highly appropriate to look at psionic powers for effects to give them. Perhaps [b]Far Layer[/b] deals half Acid, half "baleful teleport?" Do something that's probably extremely cool, but sadly I don't have [i]Untapped Potential[/i] yet so I can't judge it on its merits myself. Though I've heard nothing but good about it, so perhaps when my next paycheck comes I should give myself an early holiday present. I don't have [i]Dragon Magic[/i] either actually- but, isn't that the book with the new Dragon-flavored Warlock-like class that gets a breath weapon instead of an Eldirtch Blast? I've temporarily forgotten what it's called, but I was intrigued by the concept. Back on topic- do you mind describing in more detail what these two Invocations do? The "Eldritch Etchings" idea is an interesting one; I wonder if we can turn that into an Eldritch Essence Invocation for the Alienoid. Imagine firing words from your mouth that are visible, like the rebus puzzles of a Dabus, and not only deal damage to the target but also cause [i]Confusion[/i], or perhaps WIS or INT damage.
