[QUOTE="shadowoflameth, post: 8081747, member: 62336"] For my 2 cents. I've used a Hexblade Human from 1st to 13th so far. My observations. I agree about Hex. It can be good but Hexblade's curse is often better. No concentration and regain hit points. Later maybe get a specter when you kill the foe. The specter you can get is weak but can be useful to get advantage, be a ghostly meat shield or to set up OAs. I took the Mage Armor invocation early on and Shield and don't wory too much about AC. Between Shield and Hellish Rebuke you have a couple of options if someone hits you. Don't get hung up on wading into melee. You aren't the barbarian. I took Greenflame Blade and hardly use Thirsting blade, I'll probably replace it. A second attack is great in principal but in practice not that important. It's great to have the option but usually, if I go melee, I look for advantage and use Eldritch Smite with GFB. With GFB and knocking the enemy prone, it's often worth a slot. Early on when you only have 2, get your mileage out of Invisibility. It isn't long before you can make yourself and several others invisible. Agonizing Blast is legit gold. At higher levels, I found Conjure Fey useful too. I often do a giant crocodile. Much more so than the demon or devil summons. Takes concentration but it's big hits hard and has enough HP to help against many foes. I know some of these tactics are not recommended in the guides but in my experience they work. Also, especially if you like to make stuff, don't discount the ability to make your Hexblade any weapon with an invocation. [/QUOTE]
