[QUOTE="jbear, post: 7288264, member: 75065"] So I've just built a hex blade, but only to 4th level. It looks like fun and pretty awesome. I went Half Elf. That opens up, as mentioned above, The Elven Accuracy feat at 4th level. Drop a 15 in CHA +2 gives you 17 which you can then bump to 18 at 4th level taking the Elven Accuracy feat. So now your attacks that have advantage against your Curse Target basically get THREE attack rolls per attack with a crit range of 19-20. In my campaign I don't need to worry about how to get advantage so much as we use the optional flanking rule from the DMG. Even without it, its still very good. And the other 2 x +1's means you can have two 13's (CON & DEX) which are bumped to 14. With Medium Armour proficiency, that's all you need for DEX. (My final Stats at level 4 are STR 8 DEX 14 CON 14 INT 12 WIS 12 CHA 18) Not sure what your starting wealth is, but even with 10gp hide armour and a shield AC = 16. And that's the worst medium armour in the game, so not shabby. If you can afford half plate at level 8 start you can be AC 17 with no shield or AC19 with a shield. Otherwise a breast plate gets you AC16 with 2 handed weapon and AC18 without. Go Pact of the Chain and take a Pixie. Honestly... if you want a familiar that adds a ridiculous amount of power, get a pixie. It's ridiculously overpowerd. It can spam greater invisibility, so its one flaw (1 hp) isn't that big of a flaw, because if the enemy knows where you rpixie is to kill it, you've messed up. With a pixie you get a druidcraft cantrip and 1/day: confusion, dancing lights, detect good/evil; detect thoughts; dispel magic; entangle, fly, phantasmal force, polymorph, sleep. So you can attack while your pixie drops sleep on a bunch of mooks, or polymorph you into a CR Level equivalent beast ... like a tyranosaurus rex for example. Or fancy flying? The DC is only 12 for the save, but just the three mentioned make it worth it alone. [/QUOTE]
