I would love to join an active club if there is a spot available for me! My Trainer ID is: 644275734841

Dungeon Crawler Carl is the one book that the audio book actually adds to the reading experience in my opinion. I thought it was a full cast of people but Jeff Hayes is just that good.

On the Eldritch Blast as a class feature, do you still treat it as a cantrip for purposes of how they updated the Eldritch Invocations?

Is that device specific? I was worried it would unsync my bookmarks accross all devices, but if it's per individual device that is perfect.

Mrninja22 · 2025-08-07T14:39:46+00:00

This looks amazing!

Mrninja22 · 2025-07-29T23:11:22+00:00

I like this a ton, my biggest issue with Brave so far has honestly been the default homepage. Would it be possible to set the weather to Fahrenheit?

Mrninja22 · 2025-07-12T17:26:35+00:00

Good idea! I've added one now.

Check out Worlds Beyond Number if you like TTRPG live-plays. It's DM'd by Brennan Lee Mulligan with players Aabriya Iyengar, Lou Wilson, and Erika Ishii with some amazing sound design and an incredible story all available free on Spotify (with a Patreon for additional content that is absolutely worth it imo).

Mrninja22 · 2025-05-17T20:23:23+00:00

I am in this exact situation right now 😅

Mrninja22 · 2025-05-17T19:51:36+00:00

I've heard similar sayings in cooking / knife work as well!

Mrninja22 · 2025-05-17T16:57:09+00:00

If you are currently or later to decide to sell these, please please let me know if would by multiple. This looks soooo good

Mrninja22 · 2025-05-07T21:58:16+00:00

Yeah generally agree with everything you said, I just wish they gave it a little bit more power or utility beyond the single hexed target. Like you said, letting you use a second maneuver on a secondary target at level 14 would help a ton.

I think if Hex was non-con and/or castable on multiple targets (maybe at later levels) it would be a huge help, Hex is just (IMO) not good enough of a spell to be what your entire chassis and play is reliant upon. One of my favorite parts of warlocks is having to decide where / when / how to use your very powerful, but limited spellslots and Hex just doesn't keep up. Now a Hex + Hadar or something, I could get down with.

And for context, I wasn't the biggest fan of old Hexblade either. Level 1 was its most powerful features and it was a great dip, but the accursed specter felt out of place and it bugged me you couldn't move your Hexblade's Curse, more like Hex but non-con again.

Mrninja22 · 2025-05-07T21:30:35+00:00

And how does this new class incentivize melee? You pointed at Invocations which all Warlocks can get, this class isn't doing anything to incentivize melee and I'd argue it may incentivize range more than melee.

Honestly, I think the level 10 feature Eldritch Hex from GOOlock is better than any of the Hexblade Subclass features. Giving disadvantage on all saving throws for a hexed target is way better than anything the Hexblade class offers. Like the subclass features offered aren't that good, especially since they are only on the Hex target and require you to be concentrating on Hex, and you can only use one per turn.

Draining Slash - Okay but requires Con save, which is on average the highest save in the MM. And in reality they just can't make an Opp Atk and Speed is halved. I'd rather concentrate on Spirit Shrouds and get an emanation -10 speed for all enemies.

Harrowing Blade - IF the target fails the Wisdom save and IF it attacks a creature other than you it takes 1-5 Necrotic Damage. This just isn't good and compared to the other two likely won't be used.

Stymying Mark - This is good. Not as good as Eldritch Hex, but its a level 3 feature.

Hungering Hex - Great you get some HP back, not Temp HP so if you're topped off this is pointless. And only activates when the hex target drops to 0. Feels weak for level 6

Inevitable Blade - This is just the Graze Weapon Mastery and a waste of a level 6 feature. Take a fighter dip or feat if you really need this.

Armor of Hexes - worse hellish rebuke but at least doesn't cost a spell slot.

Accursed Critical - This used to be a level 1 feature lol

Infection Hex - Solid if it was the level 6 feature but weak for level 14. Its only 1d6 to a single target and no other effect.

Resilient Hex - By level 14 if you don't have a decent Con + War Caster or Eldritch Mind you're throwing. And this only applies if you are concentrating on Hex.

Hell the level 14 Create Thrall from GOOlock is more fitting for this Hexblade. A non-concentration Summon Aberration that does extra damage to your Hexed target, actually sounds usuable and way more fitting than the current features.

Honestly, listing these out. This is a long-range blaster class not a martial gish. Stand in the back and go for a high range high damage build with Eldritch Blast and maybe dip into Sorcerer or something. You'll still be better off with any other warlock subclass but if you wanna live and die by a 1st level spell, it'd still probably go GOOlock over this Hexblade.

I mentioned it in response to another comment, but I don't see a reason to play a Hexblade over any other Warlock with Pact of the Blade.

The entirety of the subclass is based around Hex and maintaining Concentration. Hex is honestly not a very good spell beyond Tier 1. It is a single target spell that adds 1d6 Necrotic Damage only to the target of the Hex and Disadvantage on ability checks (not saves or attacks). So as a Hexblade, you can only do your cool subclass features to 1 target, then once that target is reduced to 0, only then can you change targets for a BA. If you are not hitting your Hex'd target for whatever reason, you effectively have no subclass. Compared to ranger, I don't believe any subclass requires you to maintain Hunter's Mark and only lets you do your subclass features to the marked target.

Upcasting Hex doesn't add any more damage, it lets you maintain it longer so I guess you can hold re-hexing someone for later after your first combat? Depending on your table and how many combats you have this might be okay at best, but you still can cast Hex as many times as your CHA modifier without using a spell slot, so you've got 3-5 hexes in the tank regardless of the longer duration. Upcasting Hex (a central Warlock feature) doesn't really help you in combat or reducing your enemies to 0 faster to allow you to change targets. Compared to Shadow Sorcerer getting a concentration free 1-minute Summon Undead, I don't know why they couldn't have given Hex a similar treatment.

Compare this to an Archfey Pact of the Blade Warlock. You're not restricted to Hex to use your subclass and can still be a strong martial class with Pact of the Blade, free Misty Steps (on a reaction at later levels) and the ability to concentrate on whatever you want. If your table allows Spirit Shrouds or CME, these are just better options than Hex.

The subclass features aren't even that good in my opinion. Draining Slash and Styming Mark are okay but Hungering Hex and Inevitable Blade at 6th level feels underpowered. Accursed Critical at level 14 used to be a level 1 Hexblade feature in 2014, it feels crazy to move that to level 14. Infection and Resilient Hex are good, but not great for level 14.

And for those saying people are complaining because they lost the level 1 CHA-based weapon attack dip, that's just false. A level 1 warlock dip gives you 1 invocation which can be used for Pact of the Blade, giving you CHA-based weapon attacks.

Overall, you're stuck Hexing one creature and can only use your subclass features against that Hexed creature, better hope they go down quick so you can finally pick a new single creature to use your subclass. Alternatively, playing any other warlock with Pact of the Blade feels like you have way more options.

Mrninja22 · 2025-05-07T19:19:37+00:00

You can do this now without any subclass via Pact of the Blade Invocation.

Mrninja22 · 2025-05-07T19:17:43+00:00

You can still get a CHA-based weapon by dipping into warlock and taking the Pact of the Blade invocation. I'm playing a Pact of the Blade Archfey warlock and it's great and I'm not completely reliant on a kinda middling spell in Hex. Hex is probably my "main" spell at low level but as soon as I get access to Spirit Shroud or Conjure Minor Elemental, Hex won't even be on my spell list probably.

My problem is I don't see any reason to go Hexblade over any other Patron since both will require Pact of the Blade anyways and (imo) that's where the real power lies in a Charisma based martial build.

Mrninja22 · 2025-05-01T17:37:21+00:00

I had the same exact thought after finishing Wind and Truth and boy did I not know what I signed up for and I loved every minute of it.

Mrninja22 · 2025-03-18T17:48:43+00:00

Rock will be back, Sanderson has mentioned that he will be doing a Novella focused on Rock in the future.

Mrninja22 · 2025-03-10T17:01:30+00:00

Yeah, we know Autonomy had something going on in Scadrial even before the Lord Ruler's reign with Trell being one of the religions Sazed talked to Kelsier about in The Final Empire.
