2024年9月4日 · So for sh!ts and giggles, I tried recreating my 2014 warlock using the 2024 rules. The character is 7th level, pact of the blade, hexblade patron, Levistus tiefling. Overall, the builds are pretty equal; in terms of spells available, the 2024 version is superior thanks to origin feats and the improved patron spells.

2022年7月12日 · And, again, my feelings regarding the hexblade are often tied to the assumption that you're taking pact of the blade and playing the class as a potential fronliner gish. But if you look at other warlocks, and the potential choices they have with other pacts, it becomes very clear that hexblade isn't mechanically superior at all.

2023年3月27日 · So I am making my very first Warlock, and am going Hexblade as that's what people have suggested to me as a beginner. One thing I have noticed however is that when you choose Hexblade the Warlock starting equipment doesn't seem to take the fact that your now proficient in Martial Weapons, Medium Armor, and Shields into account.

2024年6月23日 · So hexblade curse should be warlock level number of times or charisma modifier number of times. If I understand correctly, the GOO and Celestial special abilities turn on the warlock level, while the archfey special ability turns on the charisma modifier.

2018年2月9日 · Min-Maxing aside, solely based on what you are describing you will probably want at least 5 levels of hexblade warlock, for pact of the blade and thirsting blade, which gets you 2 attacks per action. Now you need to decide if there is anything else that you need from the warlock, but going 15 levels of sorcerer will unlock your 8th level spells.

2022年12月30日 · From here, you can either carry on in Samurai (getting two ASIs or Feats), or keep going in Warlock for a 7th and 8th level spell and another invocation. Power Word Stun is a nice one for 8th level, automatic paralysis under 150 hitpoints for yet another way of granting advantage, and to be able to transfer your Hexblade's Curse feature.

2020年12月12日 · As a half-elven Bladesinger 11, I was thinking about dipping just one level of Warlock Hexblade. But I might as well just take magic initiate (Warlock) and get eldritch blast and hex? I can’t use medium armor anyways. My charisma equals my strength. Martial weapons are nice, but I acquired a moonblade as my primary weapon.

2021年12月4日 · The Hexblade Patron certainly has made for an interesting warlock subclass. It provides a considerable boon to those warlocks who wish to become warriors, though in truth, it also makes warlocks more formidable in general.

2020年4月20日 · The rest of the party consists of ranged attackers and support characters. My thought was to start with Barbarian 1/Warlock (hexblade) 2 for two castings of first level armor of agathys and one casting of the second level version. this gives me 20 THP and puts my effective health at 51, compared to the 35 I'd have as a straight barbarian.

2020年8月31日 · Landing a crit (which the hexblade curse doubles the odds for) gets that to an extra 60! damage on a hit. Why a lot of that doesn't actually matter: EB can essentially have the same level of progression in damage that you would have as a warlock with only 2 levels in warlock and just leveling up a class that benefits you more.
