Does Hideous apply damage on multi-attack?

Post by apwhite »

I was noticing that the Warlock can use Hideous blow to infuse the weapon with the Eldritch power and add the eldritch damage to the weapon damage. But if I 3 attacks per round (with the same weapon) does my Hideous Blow infuse the damage on each attack? If I had 3 attacks in a round that could be some impressive eldritch damage.

I'm no expert in such things, but does this answers it?

This ability is under the same rules as all class abilities that apply additional damage to an attack. Unless specified, this damage is applied to a single attack, normally the first, that, if applicable, is declared before the roll is made. Excuse me for not linking to this rule, but I'm best at finding rules I'm not looking for. :cry:

The description of Hideous Blow says specifically:
As a standard action, you can make a single melee attack. If you hit, the target is affected as if struck by your eldritch blast (including any eldritch essence applied to the blast)...
So it doesn't allow use as part of a full attack, by rules as written. Your DM might rule otherwise, allowing it to apply to the first attack of a full attack. I don't think any sensible DM would allow it to apply to every attack in a full attack.
