[QUOTE="shadowoflameth, post: 7596577, member: 62336"] So here's a thought on the later levels of the Hexblade. Human and using a Longsword primarily as his weapon. With Charisma taking his ASIs at 4th and 8th, bringing him to 20 in his main attack stat. I wonder how worthwhile some feats might be. Warcaster which many like lets you use a spell for Opportunity Attacks. The advantage on concentration is nice too but Resilient Con might be worthwhile for the same reason, and if he has Eldritch Smite, he can already do a magic boosted OA. Sentinel is also a popular feat that allows more frequent OAs but you can already make some OAs if the enemy is in the right position. Martial Initiate could also provide a Riposte which is a popular choice for a fighter 1/encounter. or a Disarm, but the other popular choice; Trip is already covered by eldritch smite knocking enemies prone. The Hexblade also has spells that compete for his reaction. Thematically, I like the weapon feats but then there's the other side, feats that support the role that the warlock's role as a caster. Ritual Caster (Mainly to get a familiar) has some utility down the road with other rituals too. Arcane Initiate could do the familiar too and pick up Shocking Grasp as one of the cantrips (and use it through the familiar) but he's already got a great ranged cantrip that will usually work well and a few attack cantrips already. Spell Sniper also gives one more cantrip and some advantages on ranged that are pretty situational. It seems by the guides I find that most players in 5E find it most valuable to buff a secondary stat. Then of course, there's the chance that something I really like will get published in the next year that we might be playing these characters. Is there a focus that people like most for the Hexblade?
