Hexblade Progression

Level 1

• Bind Hexed Weapon (Action)
  • Bind to your main hand weapon. Its damage becomes magical, you cannot drop or throw it, and you become Proficient with it if you weren’t already. When you attack with this weapon, there is a chance Hexblade’s Curse will be applied to the target.
  • You can only have 1 pact weapon at any time and it uses your Charisma modifier.
  • The weapon returns to its previous state if you are more than 1.5m/5ft from it for more than 10 rounds.
• Hexblade’s Curse (Bonus Action)
  • Curse a target. Your damage rolls against the target gain a bonus equal to your Proficiency Bonus. The number you need to roll a Critical Hit while attacking the target is also reduced by 1.
  • If the target dies, you regain 4 hit points.
• Hex Warrior
  • You gain proficiency with Medium Armor, Shields, and Martial Weapons.
  • You gain Bind Hexed Weapon, which lets you use your Charisma modifier instead of Strength or Dexterity when attacking with weapons that you are proficient with.

Level 6

• Accursed Spectre
  • When you or an ally within 18m/59ft slay a creature that is afflicted with Hexblade’s Curse, you can raise an Accursed Spectre that will fight alongside you for a short period of time.

Level 10

• Armour of Hexes
  • When a creature you cursed with Hexblade’s Curse attacks you, potentially nullify the attack as a reaction. This has a 50% chance of succeeding.
