I was jyst wondering if anyone allowed the new hexblade class into their gaem, how rare it would be, and what sort of story potential you see it generating.
I couldn;t find anywhere else on the board where i could post something like this, so i thought I'dpost it here.

I'm of the opinion that it's underpowered---I'd allow it. Rarity? Probably pretty high, just b/c I don't think of the class that much. Story potential would be pretty good---but there are no bad plot elements, just bad DM's.

I'm never against barring anything from anyone. In fact, I like to let anyone play anything in my games. It challenges me, as DM, to find rules, monsters or NPC to challenge them right back.
That and I can fudge die rolls... ;D
Anyway, for story potential, I'm not sure what you're looking for there. If I remember correctly, Hexblade can just cast spells when they attack right?
I could see it being a neat thing for like an elven academy. I.E. - Their elite force. Or even a group of highly trained ogre shamans could be hexblades too...tons of potential
Oh, and welcome to the boards, glad you decided to join. You're welcome to post anything on these boards.
Let me know if you're looking for more.

The Hexblade throws curses right? I'm not too familier with it....
You could certainly do a dark hero sort of character with that class...
I'm big on character concept and story over power any day.
