[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7602196, member: 20564"] Great googly moogly. Really nice rolls so you can ignose ASIs for feats, plus one of the balance points of multiclassing removed. That can be a killer "warrior". I'd be really tempted to go for pact of the blade as well because you can use CHR with your pact weapon regardless of category (it's split onto the next page in XGtE) and eventually taking GWM - big weapons do more on crits even before then, and when you get GWM any crit gives another attack. Plus the standard -5/+10 for use of opponents depending on AC. But that assumes you have a decent source of advantage in the first place. Could go Darkness + Devil invocation, but sometimes that's party unfriendly. Pact of the Blade can also give you your Extra attack (with your pact blade only) with an invocation, so it's worth staying until 5th - anything else will slow it down. With the DEX focus you could go for a Shadow Blade build, but unfortunately Shadow Blade being created from a spell is not a weapon you can touch after a long rest and get your Hex Warrior CHR to attack with. And you'd need to multiclass to eventually get Extra Attack. Playing with the stats: S 13 D 17 (16+1) C 16 (15+1) I 18 W 14 C 20 (17+2+1 (EA)). You could go Hexblade 1 / Wizard (Bladesinger) 3. Gives you +INT to AC & Concentration checks when bladesinging (2 per short rest). Dex and CON mod are both down by 1 though. Bladesinger 6 gives extra attack. And of course, Hexblade & Paladin is the power combo with your ASI/feat rules. Run everything off CHR and just go to town. Eventually love those auras. These all assume the Warrior will level. If not, then extra attack is forever out of your grasp and I'd go differently. [/QUOTE]
