[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5170410, member: 35909"] As Dandu would say, "Objection!" OP, your variant sounds perfectly balanced to me, good job. I am toying with my own idea to make Hideous Blow both useful and noticeably different than Eldritch Glaive. My idea would be something like a "debuff" ability. It would remain a standard action against full AC, and you would still add EB damage to your melee damage, though I'd make sure it did not provoke an AoO as the current Hideous Blow does. But after that, it would leave a lasting hex of sorts on the target until the beginning of your next turn. Anytime until then that it is struck for damage in melee, it suffers your EB damage [i]again[/i]. Now...that might be too strong, maybe limit it to suffering it once per any creature's turn that attacks it (so if the Fighter then full attacks it, only the first hit triggers EB damage again; then the Barbarian whacks the target on a charge and triggers it again on his turn, etc...). But that's the gist of my idea. Yours is fine, though. [/QUOTE]
