To shed a little light on what a Hexblade is, it is a fighter who can curse his opponents with weakness. Right now, the curse is 1/day and a -2 to all rolls (damage, skills, attacks and saves). Later on, it will go to -4, then at the end, -6 and he will be able to use it up to 3/day.
The act of cursing can never be seen as a "good" act, and if Zeric's alignment ever shifts to good, he loses all aspects of the class and his abilities gained.
At lvl 4, he also begins to be able to cast a few spells in armor with 0% chance of spell failure if the armor is light and below (none).
Hope that helps out some Mimic..
Also, I have started rewriting Zeric's history, and tentatively lvled him up last night. To show his apprenticeship with the dwarven smith, I gave him a rank in craft (weaponsmithing), and have began to form some ideas in my head about Zeric and only trusting weapons he has personally forged...
Yeah, I know...I put my char through more hell than Majin ever could think of...I think..
