[QUOTE="Hawk Diesel, post: 7307100, member: 59848"] No edition of D&D since maybe 1st or 2nd edition has made it a point to state that RAW is not the end all be all as 5th edition has. Go ahead and look at the Sage Advice Compendium, and right there in front they discuss RAI and RAF right alongside RAW. Also, this is D&D. It's not a video game. If you want hard mechanics, go play a video game. I guarantee there's not a single table in the entire world that adheres strictly to RAW, especially when it 1) Doesn't make sense and 2) Subtracts from the fun. But focus on this misses a bigger point. The 3 original PHB Patrons are all fairly balanced against one another. [MENTION=6854936]Sorcerers Apprentice[/MENTION] You can throw up as many smokescreens as you want. I'm done trying to engage in discussion with you, as it is clear you prefer to troll and avoid providing any evidence to further your argument. Instead you belittle and act in condescension to those who disagree with you, and focus on small and irrelevant details in an attempt to derail the discussion. Also this is getting way off-topic from the original point. And so to bring things back, the Hexblade as written seems to me to be very problematic as it is broken in comparison to what every other Patron offers. [/QUOTE]
