D&D 5E Xanathar's Guide to Everything: Hexblade Subclass

They probably wouldn't even need to multi-class into Paladin if the Eldritch Smite Invocation made it in.

That would actually make it more bearable because it would at least stop the nonsense.

I’ll be curious to read the full fluff on it. It Hex and Blade seems odd for the patron; it almost feels like a stealth fix for the Blade pact boon. A Hexer as a type of warlock, one who curses, I can see, and tying it to shadows I can see. I think I’d rather they just patched Blade, because every warlock player I’ve had at my table wanted Blade until they realized that EB+agonizing blast was better than Blade+Extra attack+Cha to Damage.

He mentioned that a physically weak character can be a hexblade.

He did? Awesome! Much more elegant than shillelagh shenanigans.

I wonder why they didn't reprint the Blade Cantrips. Seems like an AL Bladelock is going to really miss out no matter what their +1 book is.

I think the Hexblade is WHY those cantrips aren't in, its not an accident, they didn't want them blending in AL.

Part of the +1 philosophy is also that it allows them to design without worrying about every powergame combo conceivable, just PHB +1.

MM's "everything is an action" could have solved that too.

I'm repeating myself, but those cantrips should have been in the PHB. They fundamentally change how an arcane gish operates.
