Hexblade resources

[Bhu]

I'm sort of cobbling together a Hexblade mini-splat over on BG: http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=2483.0

Does anyone know of some good homebrew or resources I have not linked to?

Man. No luv for the hexblade...

I love the hexblade, but unfortunately I have nothing to help you out. Hexblade is definitely in need of some love though, so good luck.

Have you checked out Mike Mearls's fix?

Here (http://dictummortuum.blogspot.com/2011/08/hexblades-handbook.html) is a pretty decent spot for both hexblade ideas and he's got a fix section as well.

4+ Skill points per level. Bard Spells known/per day. Curse 1+ Cha bonus (at 1st level and then progressing as per table). Arcane Channeling as per Duskblade.

Those are just some things off the top of my head.

That fix presented is Mike Mearls's fix.

Well, even The Giant rags on them (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0748.html) :smalltongue:

My preferred "Hexblade" is right here. (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/magus/archetypes/paizo---magus-archetypes/hexcrafter)

My CCCC in my sig also has a few Hexblade fixes, though most have already been mentioned.

I'm proud of my hombrew Hexblade Fix (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=218093).

Key problems with the Hexblade that any homebrew should fix:

Nothing to do at low levels. This is a pretty serious but overlooked problem. After you've blown your Curse, you're just a guy with light armor, MAD, and not much else. So I give the Hexblade whip and net proficiency, at-will Curse, and better Skills. But honestly, anyone writing any homebrew class should ask themselves, what does this guy do every combat? If the answer is, I make a full attack with few other meaningful options, you're doing something wrong.
The Curse sucks. Very limited uses, weak effects, Standard Action, no versatility or choice involved with it. The idea is great, but it needs to be dramatically rewritten.
Dead levels, and higher level can easily be replicated by low level spells. I add new abilities (Improved Mettle, Foil, Karmic Suffering, better Aura of Unluck, etc), and fill in dead levels.

I'm a fan of this (or related) fixes that replace the Hexblade's casting with invoking.

I also like Person_Man's fix from Kane0's sig.

Edit:

Amusingly, Person_Man swordsage'd me. Consider the above edited to "I also like Person_Man's fix from his post above me". :smalltongue:

Curse is a free action. I favor the wotc dead level fix of Prestidigitation as a spell like ability: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/cwc/20070227x
