[QUOTE="Laurefindel, post: 8479870, member: 67296"] Possible wording suggestion: "When you make an attack using your Eldritch Blast feature with a melee weapon in hand, you can choose to make a melee spell attack instead, using the weapon as a spell focus (see page xxx) for the feature. When you do so, your Eldritch Blast attack gains the properties of the weapon used as a spell focus and you can add your Charisma modifier to the damage roll." Potential caveat with this: [LIST] [*]the finesse property would technically force your to use Str or Dex (instead of CHA) for attack and damage rolls AND add Cha as a bonus to the damage roll. [*]it synergizes weirdly with the net. [*]it leaves magical bonuses out of the equation. [/LIST] Therefore... "When you make an attack using your Eldritch Blast class feature with a melee weapon in hand, you can choose to make a melee spell attack instead, using the weapon as a spell focus (see page xxx) for the Eldritch Blast feature. When you do so, your Eldritch Blast attacks gains all properties from the weapon used as a spell focus with the exception of the finesse and special properties, including magical features and bonuses to attack and damage rolls. When you make a melee spell attack this way, you add your Charisma modifier to the damage roll." It still leaves fighting styles out, for the better of the worse. [/QUOTE]
