[QUOTE="Seeten, post: 2865149, member: 27186"] Dog Moon: The Hexblade's Schtick is now totally stolen by the Duskblade who does it totally better, with the sole exception of the curse. The curse is 1/day at low level, and doesnt have a great DC, so 1/day you can fail to be useful, and aside from that, you are full bab d10 light armor wearing guy. Duskblade casts from 1st level, can cast in heavy armor, gets d8 hp and full bab, and has real spells, real fast. They have a myriad of potent arcane abilities, which fully eclipse the hexblades limited abilities and very limited casting. Basically, I think Hexblade is desperate for a powerup. I'd give the first sneak attack around 4th level, though, as thats where they have begun to hurt, give the dark companion instead of familiar by default, and increase the sneak at 8, 12, 16, and 20, giving 5d6 sneak at 20th level. One thing to note is that will allow Hexblade to slip into some prestige classes with the sneak that might be ... imba, so be careful. [/QUOTE]
