Hey Gang,

I'm pretty sure there is no feat that already does this. I know a couple of low level Psionic powers that do, or used to do this in 3.0.

What I'm looking for is a way to augment in this case a warlockes blast so that it comes out as a continouse beam. Instead of a bolt like effect. So it looks more like a ghostbusters proton pack.

This is more for astetics than anything else. Game mechanics wise I suppose it would be the type of thing where you roll to hit then just hold the beam on the target with a concentration check.

Anyone have a decent house rule, or home brew feat that does something like this.

Or maybe a homebrewed invocations?

To take a quick shot at this myself, how about this.

Blast shape Invocation <Lesser Invocation 4th>
<Eldritch Whip>/<Soul Link>/ or something to that effect. :)

Your Eldritch blast arcs towards your target, forming an unbroken link between you and it. Roll to hit with your blast as normal. You attack with your eldritch whip with a -2 attack penalty. If you hit you do normal damage for the rounnd. Over the next round you can mantain your whips hold on your target with a concentration check. DC = 15 or the target's touch AC which ever is higher. If you succeed the target is effected again by your eldritch blast.

You may hold the whip on target 1 extra round per 5 caster levels. So you can mantain the effect via concentration for 2 extra rounds at lvl 10, 3 at lvl 15 & 4 at lvl20.
