Boring as hell IMO. The fun starts around level 11 to 15.  Strangely, the same levels where fighter types get their 3rd attack. Most of my campaigns ends around level 19-20 where the fighter gets their fourth attacks.At these levels, they encounter a lot of low level casters that will cast silence spells. (Ho I know about silent spells, seems you have an all sorcerer party over there) with counter spells as back up plans. The goal in my games is exactly to shut down casters just as players are shutting enemy casters, so will I. If casting anti-magic field is the solution, so be it. The casters will get swarmed by enemies including your Hexblades and once grappled, you will be down and attacked by 6 others with advantage in an anti-magic field that means that most will hit you with their advantage. With only veterans, it may mean 80pts of damage per round, not counting possible critical. The pure fighter will have four of his attacks, will not be deprived of his main attack capacity and will simply be better than your Hexblade. Same with the barbarians, paladins and rangers. Yep, these will be locked at two attacks like you, but their non magical abilities will function all the same.Also, beholders are dangerous, tackling 3 requires a very strong group. Mine is at level 12 now and they are terrified to attack the beholder in its lair (probably next game). The beholder isn't alone, will be flying and will fix its gaze on the casters. Unfortunately, the only good archer is the rogue and at 1d6 damage, no sneak attack damage because that AIM option in Trasha is not available, that beholder will be able to wreck havoc on the group. With all the minions and allies the beholder have, this will be the only fight in the evening and we expect it to last over the 12 round mark. A battle with an elder brain lasted 14 two weeks ago. Heck, the other group fought a dragon and fight lasted 18 rounds... With two deaths, plummeting 200 feet is notoriously bad for your health. The dragon only engaged in melee because it was downed to less than 50% of HP and I kept the rule that under 50%, the a flying creature must land or it will crash. And only a lucky crit forced the dragon to land, otherwise, I would have fled to heal, come back and make a rinse and repeat.</blockquote>
