Rather than post a bunch of one-page guides, I decided to put them together in hopes of using them to help build a larger general guide to skills and their usage. Please pardon the mess.

Originally posted by Litigation: Searching for Long-Forgotten Lore: Seeker's Lore Powers Not all the 22nd-level powers will be listed. Mostly just the good ones, great ones, and the black holes. Again, these are rated based on universal appeal, so some might be better or worse than you expect...

Originally posted by Lord_Ventnor: Artifacts of a Lost Era: Items Hexblades are inextricably tied to magical items: they create their weapons out of thin air, after all. You definitely want a nice implement, some sturdy armor, and a shiney amulet to start. But what else is there? Read on to...

Originally posted by Lord_Ventnor: Shades of Grey: Multiclassing As an essentials-style class, the Hexblade finds its multiclassing priorities a little different than its parent class. Hexblades never multiclass to grab the powers of other classes, since it cannot trade out encounter powers and...

Originally posted by Lord_Ventnor: Destined for Darkness: Paragon Paths and Epic Destinies  Because many class features between the Hexblade and the traditional Warlock differ, they have different criteria when evaluating Paragon Paths and Epic Destinies. Many Warlock Paragon Paths make use of...
