← PRC8 Hexblade

:: Hexblade ::


(BASE CLASS)
Combining the dynamic powers of martial prowess and arcane might, the Hexblade presents a deadly challenge to opponents unused to such a foe. It balances talents in combat and arcane spellcasting. At lower levels, the Hexblade relies on melee ability augmented by his special power to curse his enemies. As he gains experience, he becomes capable of casting a limited number of spells while his curse ability becomes more potent and he gains the ability to warp the normal law of probability. He can also draw upon the service of a dark companion to further augment his abilities.

- Alignment Restrictions: non-good only
- Hit Die: d10
- Proficiencies: Hexblades are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, and with light armor but not with shields.

- Skill Points: 2+ Int Modifier.
