There is no way to enterpret this feat to apply to only the first attack.  This feat is a must for gish because their to hit will lag behind a fighter and this can make that up.It's in Complete Arcane. Everyone keeps saying how hidiously broken this spell is, but I just haven't seen it. I've played a Gish to 9th level (ftr 1/wiz6/KP3) so far: at early levels the I was better off with a scorching ray and even at 9th its a close call. The one time I got off the "big combo" (full power attack, wraithstrike and arcane strike a 3rd level spell) I equelled but did not exceed the damage I've routenely seen the raging barbarian do. At high levels the damage will be better - but so will many other things (and don't even talk about persisting it I have better things to do with 2 feats and limited 8th level spells). I think your DM is being a bit short sighted by allowing no prestige classes, but hey it's his game. Since he is allowing some splat books, show him the Duskblade from PHBII it's not core but it is a "base class" and fits your concept pretty well.If you're going for range, power attack is a waste of a feat. Then again, wraithstrike and arcane strike aren't to usefull at range either.  On whirling blade - I've been underwelmed by this spell. I tried it a few times, but for it to really shine conditions have to be near perfect, and I've fallen away from using this spell.just some thoughts</blockquote>
