*Lesser* polearm gamble - suggestions?

[Zander]

I really like the idea of the polearm gamble feat. It makes sense that closing with a polearm fighter is tricky.

Polearm gamble is a paragon feat and I'd like to offer my players something similar but less powerful for their heroic characters. Any suggestions as to how, and how much, to nerf polearm gamble to make a lesser version suitable for heroic characters?

You could copy the feat, but give a -2 to hit, or a -4 to hit, etc.

I'm also very curious to see what people come up with. Polearm gamble is a great feat.

Funny you should say that! I was thinking along the same lines but couldn't decide on -2 or -4.

Perhaps if you miss with your attack you fall prone?
