Hexblade

From Scratchpad

One of the countless Fighter kits. This one is special, it allows you to be a crappy fighter in return for a couple of Dooms, Mirror Images, Invisibilities and Great Malisons. Its sister-kit, the Duskblade gets spells like Magic Missile, Haste, Stoneskin, Breach, Mantle, Mordenkainen's Sword and Tenser's Transformation instead - without the thac0 penalties! You do the math.

[edit] Description

Combining the dynamic powers of martial prowess and arcane might, the Hexblade presents a deadly challenge to opponents unused to such a foe. Hexblades adventure for personal gain, whether that gain is power, prestige, wealth, or all the above. The style of the Hexblade is selfish, sometimes even cruel, and even the friendliest-seeming Hexblade is typically self-serving. Their magic aids them in combat, and they specialize in cursing their foes.
