That name will be familiar to people who owned 3.5's Complete Warrior, but whether it has any resemblance to the class in that book is yet to be seen.Interestingly though, the promotional text for <a href="http://wizards.com/dnd/Product.aspx?x=dnd/products/dndacc/280880000">Heroes of Shadow</a> contains this little tidbit: "The Shadowfell is a cold, grim place through which the spirits of the dead must pass on their way to... wherever. Dark, evil things live there, suffused with the power of shadow. Some mortals in the natural world learn how to tap into this source. Assassins. Necromancers. Hexblades."This has lead many to the question... are Hexblade Warlocks of the Shadow power source? Two sources, like the Executioner Assassin?Noone knows that yet.Whatever the case, it feels like this new Warlock build could depart from what we're used to a bit. (Hey, "Pact" isn't even in the new build's name! =P )</blockquote>
