Hideous Blow - warlock feat, allows you to use your eldritch blast as a or in place of a melee basic attack. It means if you are in melee you can safely use your eldritch blast ability, and use it with a charge or oppurtunity attack. Sacred Fist - cleric feat, you can use your sacred flame ability as a or in place of a melee basic attack. Same concept, different class. Not sure how balanced these would be or if you just made it so they could be used in melee safely but not as a melee basic would be more balanced.

Keep them both as melee basics, this differentiates them from the shadar-kai feat and makes them worthwhile.
