[QUOTE="Sejs, post: 2670115, member: 4910"] I can't give you 20 levels, but I can give you 12. They suck. Badly. First off, they are, to my knowledge, the only full BA class that has only good will saves. Their list of available bonus feats is sadly lacking. Their spellcasting ability is intended to be on par with that of the paladin or the ranger, both of which get a more satisfying array of class abilities and thus can have their spells fill a supplimental role. The hexblade doesn't. They get a familiar, which, for a melee character seems like a wonderfully bad idea unless your DM is of the type to let your little buddy disappear into N-Space when not in use. In my oppinion, the way to fix the hexblade would be two steps long: 1) Give them good fort saves in addition to their current good will saves. 2) Give them spellcasting ability that is more in line with that of a Bard. 6 level spell list, full caster progression, some spells drawn from (otherwise) divine spell lists, such as Doom and possibly a few Inflict Wounds spells.
