I'd like to see something a little different than just another skill slot on the bar.

Maybe something like a single "passive skill slot", where you can place one of those many "gain X stat while slotted" abilities just for the passive effect but without the ability to activate the ability.

Something more unique like that.

Nightblades get a special effect if slotted, not great but useful.

Yep. As well as every other class, and multiple other skill lines. The following is a list of most (all?) skill lines that this "passive skill slot" could be used for, either due to a Passive in the skill line or a "on slot" effect specific to one of the abilities in the skill line:

• Dragon Knight - Ardent Flame, Draconic Power
• Nightblade - Siphoning, Shadow, and Assassination
• Sorcerer - Daedric Summoning in particular, or ANY Sorcerer class ability due to Storm Calling's Expert Mage passive.
• Templar - Aedric Spear
• Warden - Animal Companions, Green Balance, and Winter's Embrace
• Weapon - One Hand and Shield
• World - Soul Magic and Werewolf
• Guild - Fighter's Guild, Mage's Guild, and Psijic Order
• Alliance War - Support

Having a "passive skill slot", where you could place abilities on your bar solely to activate passive effects, would allow some of the less-often used "on slot" passives see more use without hindering a build's active ability potential. As a plus, it'd also allow Stamina builds to use ultimates other than Flawless Dawnbreaker without feeling like they're gimping themselves (it gives 8% Weapon Damage, between it's on-slot effect and the Fighter's Guild "Slayer" passive).
