[Feat] Arcane Strike, as the base for some interesting Builds.

Scarab Sages

I'm a huge fan of Arcane Strike, It's a Scaling (My biggest issue) Magic damage bonus available from level 1. My biggest complaint is that I can't take it with Divine Caster :P.

I'd like to see Some Follow up feats to make it a good choice for some paths. I'll toss up my own ideas in follow up post.

Scarab Sages

Arcane Accuracy
Benefit: Arcane Strike's Magic Bonus applies to Hit.

Arcane Enhancement
Benefit: You can expend the Bonuses from Arcane Strike to purchase Magic weapon bonuses which cost a +x benefit.

Delivery
Benefit: You can use Arcane Strike to deliver a touch attack.

Fast Strike
Benefit: You can use an Immediate Action to Activate Arcane Strike.

Improved Arcane Strike
Benefit: Double the Magic bonus, it still caps at +5 but you can get it sooner, and spend the points past it on arcane enhancement.


DA,

Cool stuff.

Warlock-Bard, and Warlock-Sorcerer NPCs I have written up make effective use of their own 'Terrible Blow' Invocation-Blast Template to perform the delivery of damage, but both have taken Arcane Strike in addition.

It is a mode which is lacking in standard classes, and if for only that reason, seems like it ought to be included in some fashion.

As far as -=Divine Strike=-, why should it be different? Surely not mechanically?

Best,
