[QUOTE="xazil, post: 1693076, member: 21778"] Most combinations for hexblade seem to revolve around using the the first 3 or 4 levels as it comes across as a very front loaded class. Im my party we currently have a hexblade/rogue as this is a pairing of classes that work very well together. It also seems a good prelude to going a Dragon Disciple without having to 'throw' a level into a non-combat class. A single classed hexblade comes across as a weak class if you want fighting unless you discard the spells and jump into heavier armor. While as a spell caster it is only on par with a ranger or paladin despite all the bonus feats being magically inclined. A hexblade with good INT could play a party face man with his social skills. An archer build would suit hexblade as then the armor is less of a problem, but that is going to use up all of your feats through normal levels. Oh, and the hexblade comes across as suiting a dwarf as he is able to curse people who have slighted him or his clan in a very 'Warhammer Book of Grudges' way. :) [/QUOTE]
