Dex helps out the armor class, and with a Mithral Breastplate or Mithral Full Plate, I can still maintain a good Dex bonus to AC. Str is great for that damage and accuracy, however, especially since I will be using two-handed weapons. I'm torn; I might just have Str, Dex, and Cha at around the same level (14-15).I completely forgot about that one! I'll definitely pick that up as a 1st level feat; I have yet to see a Hexblade without it. I'll use my bonus Hexblade feats mostly for Combat Casting and Spell Focus, investing my other feats into combat skills. Should I invest in the Hex feats (detailed in Dragon magazine)? They complement the Ability Focus nicely, but it's pretty feat-intensive.What's your opinion on the idea of a trip build, though? It will take two feats to pull off, but it should help my average AC along if every time an opponent wants to attack, they have to stand up from prone. A cool idea is to use Spring Attack to jump in, trip, then jump back, allowing me to avoid all harm the next round (they'll need to use both move actions just to reach me). But that IS fairly feat-intensive.Also, I'll probably use a variant class. I HATE familiars with a passion, and I replace it whenever I can. I might use the Dark Companion variant (PHB II, I think) to complement my debuff build, or I might be a Focus Caster and simply make my Scythe a focus for all spells, which has benefits for necromancy spells (most notably instant fatigue and +25% range). Dark Companion seems more likely, though, since I'm more of a debuffer than a spellcaster.</blockquote>
