Complete Warrior: Who's the best warrior of the bunch?

What, no vote for Hexblade?
5 levels qualifies you for Dreagon Disciple, without needing to take a spellcasting class. About time we got a class like that.

Bard already did that. Hexblade just combat-oriented bard, rather than rogue-oriented bard.

That said, I like Hexblade from munchkin standpoint - 3 levels combined with anything else is good. Gives +CHA to saves for all practical purposes, then gives Mettle for Will/Fort saves. Hexblade 3/Monk 2 is almost as good as immune to most magic.
