[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 9680512, member: 2629"] I wonder how much of the Enworld forum traffic is being lost to people asking AI these types of questions? You can absolutely go without the dip. If you take Pact of the Blade you get to be proficient with any weapon you want - so your ability to hit will be good. You will likely want that strength of 13, but you can live without the mastery, con save and armor proficiencies. Why would you? Earlier access to multi-attack and earlier access to higher level spells. Those can be huge. If you are going with this style, you'll likely want to avoid tanky style combat where you exchange blows. Instead, you'll want to come in, finish a foe off and then maneuver to avoid attacks while someone else takes the hits. Your success in doing so is mostly up to how much the DM allows you to control the combat scenario. Character levels 3, 5, 7 and 9 hurt a bit when you do not get those higher level spells (and multi-attack) while mono class characters get these perks. I think WotC should have given the Hexblade weapon mastery with their weapon from Pact of the Blade. It seems like a miss to have a weapon focused PC and not allow them to have that perk when so many other classes get it. [/QUOTE]
