Something of a Recap Definately some good ideas I've gleaned from this thread, and the other two earlier pointed out for reference. Some notions I've gotten, and I'd love to hear everyone chime in on them; Trade the Familiar for Arcane Strike feat. (It's outside of regular requirements, but...

Hmm... don't suppose you have any writeups or such of those feats your DM gave them? I'd be curious to see them. I can't help but /love/ the flavour of the Hexblade. I want to play one badly, the more I hear everyone say they suck. ;) But the fact that they can't even get Arcane Strike as a feat...

Fair enough, that does make a great deal of sense. Perhaps someone with some experience in this vein would be willing to share with us, then! I certainly hope for as much. ;)

So, seems to be the consensus that flavour is there, but mechanically, the class is weak. What can be done to improve it? Has anyone done anything in their campaigns to make them a more playable class?

Well, if they suck... what could be done to improve them? The concept is really cool... (Btw, what's MAD stand for? :)

Has anyone here played a Hexblade? (One of the new classes in Complete Warrior.) Maybe someone in your gaming group has? Or are you DMing for one? I'm considering allowing Hexblades into my campaign, per a player's request, and now am considering playing one myself, in another game. But they...

That is quite possibly the coolest thing I've seen in forever. Way to be a nice dude.

Any and all WotC books.

Just putting together a character for a friend's campaign... we're at about 11th lvl (I'm a late entry) and as I was looking to put my character together, I came across the idea of... for lack of a better term, a mage assassin. Now, I know what you're saying 'hey, assassin has arcane spells...

Completely agree on this one here. Unlike most PrCs that are just 'here's how you do something better than a character of the same core class that just stuck in the core class' it really presents something that is different and unique across the board.

Hehe, thanks!

It's just hard for me, I suppose. I play D&D more for the roleplay than the rollplay, to borrow an overused term, and it just isn't made to favour one over the other. I've been wanting for the last day and a half to build an Aasimar Paladin/Sorcerer/Exalted Arcanist to be like this sort of...

I was trying to build a sorcerer, and I came to the idea... shouldn't they have some sort of theme for spells? I mean, maybe you focus all on elemental magic, or you use only shadowy things... stuff like that. Anyone else do this? Any groups you've put together? Reading through spell lists in...

Man, I'm really bad. My brain jumps all over. Just an idea, what does everyone think of the viability of an Aasimar Sorcerer/Paladin/Exalted Arcanist? It'd be a character definately using a lot of things from the Book of Exalted Deeds. It's just that recalling all the books we've access to in...

I have the core books, all the Complete Series, the Races of books, the enviroment books (Sandstorm, Frostburn) BoED and BoVD and if I really want, probably some elements of Eberron.

Hmmm... there's been some pretty good suggestions made here while I was at work. Got my brain thinking! Though someone made me wonder... what about a warlock? I mean, I know I said before my DM wouldn't allow it, but now I've been given reason to believe he'd relax that said rule. I've never...

I know Warlocks are from Complete Arcane... my DM just doesn't like the class itself, and he has stated previously that he wouldn't permit them in his game. As for spellthieves, they get into some weirder abilities that I don't think fit my flavour for the character. War mages, while good at...

The group currently lacks any arcane spellcasting (something the DM finds hilarious, given we come from the Empire that is ruled by an arcane mage caste) so I want to be able to fill the void without having to spend tedious time deciding each day what spells I want to keep on hand. (I detest...

Alright, so the concept going into the game is one of a fighter/mage... sorceror, to be precise, whom wields a spear to wicked effect. Going to slap him in some leather or something (see below) and pick up Arcane Strike at first opportunity. Here's what I've got for the build so far, would...

Man, I so joined this club ages ago. C'mon, guys. Let's go. ... I mean, really.
