Thank you for showing that a Hexblade doesnt have to be the Spell Mod melee attack/damage charcter that most people asscoiate it with. Vids like yours prove that a Hexblade is still a unique subclass without the Cha Mod Melee.

Awesome build. I think you might have some problems with getting a GM to sign off on the Vampiric Touch and Gift of the Ever-Living Ones combo. Vampiric Touch doesn't determine its hit points gained by dice, it determines it by the amount of damage dealt. The dice only determine the damage dealt. Though you might think about Life Transference on yourself and Tomb of Levistus.

I had a similar build that incorporated Cursebringer. Pact blade allows you to change the 'form' of the weapon, so we were dual wielding a 'Black blade/Cursebringer' longsword and a normal longsword (hex warrior + cha off hand) - and went Hexblade Warlock and College of Swords Bard. - 3 attacks later levels with smacking people with 2d8 per spell level on each attack if hit... 19-20 crit, attacking from darkness (advantage). Some serious single target, very competitive. Only sticking with medium armor and focusing primarily on Charisma.

Considering summoning is a gamble in 5e, I'll probably focus more on making enemies miserable with debuffs with my imp, specter and occasional zombie being the work horses. Infernal calling and the like will be my "nuclear option" as even with proper prep and chain's discount hold-monster there is always that risk your pet monster will get off the leash.

I think I could use this build to make a decent Church Hunter following Ludwig/healing church from Bloodborne without defaulting to the Great Old One patron... especially if I consider the weapon patron to be the Holy Moonlight Blade. I love the Hadar spells as hold overs from the starpact of 4e, wish there were more

I guess I'm in the minority, but I kind of liked the panther shaped mobile hex in previous editions of the Warlock. I think that was much cooler than a spectre you get until the sun rises. I'm talking Circa version 3.0 and 3.5

I'm really enjoying your glaivelock/hexblade videos and have been coming up with some ideas for my character. I am just about to go to level 3 with my Aasimar Divine Sorcerer, but once I am at level 6 my character will find out that her mother accidentally signed her into her pact whilst preggers. Anyway, I am thinking of first getting twin and subtle meta magic so I can use subtle silence to shut down enemy spellcasters as it looks like we are going to be facing a number cult based enemies and clerics, who as far as I am aware have no spells without a verbal component. I was just wondering that once I take Quicken as my next metamagic, what other spells, invocations or feats do you think may be useful for a Divine Aasimar Sorlock with a 17 Sorcerer/3 Warlock spilt? I'm still thinking counterspell will still be useful if we end up against other spellcasters with spells that have just somatic or material components. I am also thinking that getting my Aasimar racial feat and the Warcaster feat will really help to build up my magical defenses too.

You could use Polymorph/True Polymorph on the Specter and have a different Challenge 1 or lower creature do your bidding. Even though it'd happen at high level, true polymorphing the Specter into a Pixie sounds really good since it has Superior Invis, Fly and Polymorph.

Accursed spectre is an ability from Hexblade but Chain pact is a pact boon. You would have both the spectre and a familiar. they are not the same creature. Gift of the ever-living ones requires your familiar to be near you. I assume this is what you are referring to. If not then let me know, I've just re-watched this video to try and figure out what you meant. Hopefully this covers your needs and if not I'll try and clarify it further :)

We did the patron as if my grandfather made a fiend packed & used his powers to become a noble family.. unknown to us the fiend also cursed me in an attempt to bring sentience to his weapon, at age 15 my eye turned black w/red iris & my powers manifested. In order to preserve the families nobility I was cast out into the world as knight So all I know is I have powers like grandpa but little do I know that in gaining my powers the fiends blade became sentient

What kind of bard? taking the soul and making a spectre out of it is ideal for Curse of Straad. It's a place where nobody escapes from, body or soul. It's easily passed of as a manifestation of the terrible place you are in. It fights along side you sure. but perhaps when you're out of combat it does some other things. It might resent you for taking the life it had. it might point towards dark truths about your fate. It can demand in it's way (Non verbal) you release it as it promises to haunt you for 1 year for every hour you bind it. the more creative you can get the better. never ever ever EVER! refuse a character from having an option they want. just find a way to make it fair and interesting and somehow congenial to the story line.

IT reads: u can curse the soal of a person you slay, temporarily binding it to your service... how is one gonna curse/bind the soal of someone who doesn't have a soal..?? Lol & I haven't decided on the multi class college yet got a little while b4 we get that far... just got too lvl 5 this previous Sunday... obviously Lore give u cutting word, Valor gains med armor, shield & martial weapons (which I got from hexblade)... & with my states being such a joke outside of my 20 the proficiency w/3 more skills will help there.... college of swords is out, w/GWM neither fighting style give me any help... glamour is about THp which w/life cleric is still good but not really necessary & I already have a 20 charisma I already charm ppl w/my slick tongue (the redemption palidin can us channel diving give some +5 the cha checks so)... & college of Wispers isnt even an option, I was hired by the half elf noble 22 yr old palidin & her wizard bodyguard to be a little more muscle (she left bc her God told her she had 2 go save the Prince:strahd) so the Spector will totally be evil enough for her to probably want to get all preachy w/me.. where as my 20 yo (formor noble now knight) Congo man "has" nvr seen someone as radient (the long vibrant golden hair & dainty blue eyes) as her 18 charisma palidin, so I just wants 2 get laid & does whatever the girlly says LMAO

I believe that your interpretation of how much you heal from Vampiric Touch is wrong. You aren't rolling the dice to heal, you are rolling the dice to damage your target. Once the damage is determined, you regain hit points equal to half of that damage.

Sadistic play of the day: Hexblade Specter, then cast Animate Dead on its body. Then make the specter fight the zombie.
