[QUOTE="Dessert Nomad, post: 7536195, member: 6976536"] Yeah, I've never been a big fan of the one level hexblade dip - going warlock without getting any invocations or pact boon and only one spell slot is pretty 'meh' to me. Plus I don't like the lore of the hexblade pact, it just feels half-assed to me like "I made a pact with, uh, it's like a big sword spirit". Like doctorbadwolf, if I'm going to MC paladin and warlock I'm going to take 3 levels to get more cool stuff and I'll pick a patron that does something more interesting to me. I do think going 'ASI only' for the comparison makes it overlook that the hexblade dip does get to select feats at 12/13 and 16/17 when the paladin is stuck taking ASIs to get his CHA up. That is a pretty significant difference. Also if I was going to dip hexblade, I'd almost certainly do it at second - you get heavy armor and 1 more hit point in exchange for being -1 on hit and damage at first level. Would also do a stat mix more like 15 10 15 8 12 16 so I would be wearing plate and planning to bump con with the resilient feat later on. [/QUOTE]
