Message: <blockquote data-quote="RefinedBean" data-source="post: 4460187" data-attributes="member: 55016">I forgot to mention that we got rid of Mettle and Arcane Resistance, which is why we kept the Hideous Blow along the same track as Eldritch Blast.You're right about the Quicken, it's one of my least favorite points of the design, but we couldn't think of anything else to throw in there, besides maybe granting an extra Curse feat.As for stepping on the Duskblade's toes, we happen to be adventuring with a Duskblade and the differences are definitely telling; I tend to do my Hideous Blow to keep my damage up, which means the Invocations I take are generally self-buff or something handy (like the one that recreates Shatter as an effect), while he dishes out attack spells and a few buffs.I agree, though, that someone could instead take a lot of attack invocations (don't really know what those are, but I think some do Earthen Grasp and what-not).  The differences, however, are good enough, and a quickened buff at the beginning of combat is always nice...especially while being surprised in the night!</blockquote>
