Hehe yeah, sorry about that.
Tglassy, I was originally thinking of multiclassing as a shadow sorcerer is the thing, so I kinda feel like a redesign may be for the best. Overlap would potentially be fairly high.
Though I could abandon the multiclass idea, commit to full-on warlockery...there IS a kind of cool notion behind a shadow sorceror and a sort of hexblade bodyguard kind of deal.
Hmm! This is growing on me.
What do you think?
