[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7460324, member: 7006"] Using one ability score is just like using any other. So I find absolutely no reason not to let two classes that usually don't have the same ability score focus be allowed to do so. It would also be a wonderful change of pace to see Warlocks multiclass to classes OTHER than Paladin and Sorcerer every freaking time. The only reason we get so many of those goddamn things is not because we have so many paladin/warlock and sorcerer/warlock character stories and backgrounds running around that need to be represented... but merely because "Hey game mechanics work really well together in those combos, so let me try and barely tie these two disparate stories into one just so I can use all these kewl powers together since they're CHA-based and the rules let me!" So sure... let Rage and Reckless attack work with Charisma. Or... if the player wants to focus on his physical power in this combo, let the player use STR for all their Warlock abilities. Or, if there's just a specific Hexblade ability or two that they want... just do a class feature swap for them. Mix and match to your and their hearts content to get the mechanics they want to exemplify the character's history and actionability that they are looking for. You're never going to really blow anything up because most of the features are fairly well balanced, and you're going to be keeping your eyes on them anyway. [/QUOTE]
