Would this be a suitable feat?

Infernal Mind
Your mind burns with the passion of demons and devils, and any who gaze into it get burned by it.
Prerequisite: Tiefling
Effect: Whenever an enemy within 10 squares targets you with an attack vs Will, you may use your Infernal Wrath as an Immediate Interrupt. Doing so expends that power.

 Pro:
Y
ou can use Infernal Wrath even when the enemy misses.
You can actually kill your attacker before he can cast the spell.

Con:
It only works against some monsters.


Overpowered? Underpowered? PEACH please, thanks!

FTFY, as demons have nothing to do with the Infernal, but rather Chaos.

Thanks for the advice Earchima, I'm going to compare the two and see where I go.

Also thanks for the fix iqwinn, this'll fit the general D&D fluff a lot better. (My own group doesn't really differ much between demons and devils; the words are unfortunately to closely linked and constantly used interchangably, so I've pretty much just lumped them together)

No problem.  Most people, even a lot of Christians who should know better, have trouble differentiating between devils (fallen angels) and demons (evil/unclean spirits).  I can see how it can be confusing, as they are both malevolent spiritual creatures, but their origins, while connected, are different.

It probably depends on which mythology you look at, considering the poster above you seems to disagree Tongue out

I think I'll change it to deal Int or Cha-mod damage but still trigger before the actual attack, that makes it different from Empty Mind but still somewhat decent. We'll see how it works out ingame; I think the player will at least enjoy it.
