Squishiness and lack of weapon proficiencies is an issue here compared to a cleric, and getting medium armor and shields always helps with that, plus SADness. If you do go Hexblade, you don't want to be Mountain Dwarf; you want something with a CHA bonus. Even if you don't get medium armor from Hexblade, putting yourself behind in CHA just means you could have been a race with a CHA bonus and then spent a feat on defense.Scourge Aasimar seems thematically appropriate, and has ability bumps in the right places. Levistus Tiefling has some nice features (free 2nd level Armor of Agathys). And of course you can rarely go wrong with human or half-elf.If you take Sentinel, you can cast Fear and then beat down an enemy as they try to get away from you but can't (even better coupled with War Caster).</blockquote>
