[QUOTE="Lanliss, post: 7030577, member: 6801219"] This thread, while inspired by the UA Hexblade, is actually about a Fighter Archetype called Hexblade, who is 1/3rd caster Warlock style, similar to the EK/Wizard relationship. For the purposes of my games, the Warlock Hexblade will actually not exist, and will be replaced by this. I will be doing this for Paladin as well, since I like the idea of both. [B]My Design Thoughts[/B] Fighter will have 3 spell slots, which will refresh on a short rest. I know this is almost the same as the Warlock they are based on, but this fighter will not have access to the number of Mystic Arcanum that the normal Warlock has. Max spell level of 4, all chosen from the Warlock spell list+ Patron spells (for example, you can be a Fiend Hexblade, instead of Hexblade [I]being[/I] the patron.) Fighter will get 2 invocations by level 20. Might get a single "mystic arcanum", but as a 5th level Warlock spell. Final Spells known for Warlock is 15+some mystic Arcanum, how many should I give fighter? 7-8+the single arcanum? I want the Patron features to be different from the Warlock ones, but not sure how I should handle this. Do not want the first to be the Blade Boon, since that is inherently better than the Eldritch Knight's own bonded weapon. Any additional thoughts I might have missed? EDITed for clarity. [/QUOTE]
