[QUOTE="Flamestrike, post: 8081590, member: 6788736"] Well no. Compare a 5th level GWM Cha 18 Hexblade (Improved pact weapon, Eldritch smite, Thirsting blade) with a 5th level GWM Battlemaster (Str 18). assuming 2 short rests/ tong rest The Fighter has 3 x Action surges and [B]12 [/B]x d8 sup dice. His AC is likely 1 point higher (half plate v full plate) and he has more HP (d10's and a higher Con score, and 3 x second winds). The Hexblade gets +1 to hit and damage, deals an extra +1d6 damage with every attack from Hex, has 5 slots (3rd level) left over for smites (an extra [B]20 [/B]x d8 damage right there), and has 3 x Hexblades curses to work with putting him on par with the Action surges. The Hexblade does considerably more damage over the adventuring day than the Fighter, beating the Fighter as his own game. He isnt as durable (although he gets some healing from his Hexblades curse) and he can sacrifice some of that higher offensive power for spells (Fly, misty step, Counter spell, Armor of Agathys etc).
