Best Feats and Skills for a Hexblade?

I am thinking of going for it. I know it is weak but what the heck.

That said, what feats and skills should I look at to make the best of things, assuming a single-classed Hexblade of one of the core 7 races?

I assume Ability Focus (Hexblade's Curse) would be good.

I am allowed access to the first 4 "Completes", the PHB II, and the three core books. Not Dragon Magazine.

Hi, Particle Man!
I don't see why you shouldn't play a Hexblade.

Do you have the dark elf option (Cha +2)?

What about those feats:
1.) Battle Caster; CA 75; Wear heavier armor than light and ignore Spell Failure Chance
2.) Ability Focus (Hexblade's Curse); MM 303; (just as you've mentioned)
3.) Great Fortitude; PH 94; Mettle
4.) Iron Will; PH 97; Mettle (even if the spells in question are rare)
5.) Force of Personality; CV 109; Substitute Cha bonus for Wis bonus on saves
6.) Combat Focus; PH II 87; Bonus on Will saves; Combat Focus is expandable by other Combat Form feats

Enjoy!

Einhander from the PHBII I think. Leadership.

Props for going with a Hexblade over a Duskblade without Dragon magazine to draw from.
