Have you had experience with players over-optimizing, or the Hexblade specifically?  I'm totally for disallowing things, especially in Session Zero.  Maybe at your table you made a write-up of things allowed and not allowed?My thinking has come around.  It used to be that a player over-optimizing was a 'problem'; now, I feel the problem player is the one who's just chitchatting or playing with their phone.  The optimizer is at least invested in the game enough to care where/how his character goes somewhere.  I do agree about maybe making MCing take an even split, or you can't multiclass until you're five levels into your base. YMMV.  Just food for thought</blockquote>
