Having recently borrowed Complete Warrior and Complete Arcane from a friend of mine, I began to imagine a culture that'd been isolated from the "mainstream" in campaign world for several generations. In this time, they began to develop an alternative method of using magic; thus, warlocks.
Then I began to think that these very unique mages might pass along some of their knowledge to a warrior faction in an effort to raise an army unlike any ever seen before--the Hexblades. But what if, instead of casting spells as per the Complete Warrior, they substituted the Warlocks' spell-like abilities and invocations instead? They'd still be restricted to the same casting level rules (a Hexblade casts invocations as a Warlock 1/2 her level). Or perhaps they could be restricted even further, to say only being able to cast any invocation a number of times per day equal to their CHA bonus + 1/2 Hexblade level, as opposed to unlimited times per day.
Anyway...just a rambling thought before bed.
