Hexblade fix.
Scroll down half a post.
Human is always awesome, and while I've never been particularly fond of Goblins, Hobgoblin seems a pretty decent choice, especially f you can convince your DM to let you cut the LA.
(Reasoning; Your playing a weakened class, and even with the fix it still is pretty bad.
Plus, your playing a race that is reviled all over as a killer and child stealer.)
