... BESIDES Eldritch Blast.
Long and the short, my DM is wanting to do a special variant on the Gestalt rules. Each PC has a "soulmate" cohortish type partner whose soul halfway merges with the PC's. They're able to access each other's abilities (as gestalt), but each character must function and make sense as separate entities.
For example: I'm playing a 6th level Blastlock. So my feats are geared towards qualifying for Hellfire Warlock and optimizing Eldritch Blast: Arcane Mastery, Mortalbane, Maximize Spell Like Ability (Eldritch Blast).
Now, because of how specialized my 6th level feat is, my DM wants to rule that my soulmate only needs to have a similar Spell Like Ability of their own that they use their version of the feat for (my soulmate and I don't get to share Spell Like Abilities, just the benefits of the feat), but I'm having trouble finding definitive Spell Like Abilities that have variable components (such as dealing damage).
At first I thought Dragonfire Adept made a lot of sense, but their Breath Weapon is (Su) rather than (Sp) and their Invocations (which are SLAs) don't seem to have a whole lot of variable effects (at the 6th level "Least" or "Lesser" categories).
There was a GitP thread somewhere with various means of acquiring SLAs, but again, most of them didn't seem to be damage dealers (besides Eldritch Blast).
TL;DR: I need an SLA that isn't Eldritch Blast that qualifies for Mortalbane and Maximize Spell Like Ability at 6th level.
Am I missing something, or am I just SOL?
