[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 7828578, member: 58197"] Not a spoiler exactly (I haven't read or played "Descent"), but it seems safe to say you'll run into a lot of devils; which is a bit of a limiting factor for a fiend pact warlock. Fiend pact loads you up with beefy fire spells, and fire doesn't work on devils. Still, the other fiend pact abilities work fine, and being able to give yourself permanent fire resistance at 10th level is pretty nifty. :) Hexblade is remarkably versatile.
