I am just making sure before I go into an AL on Saturday, is giving me hexblade warlock starting med armor and a melee weapon allowed? I don't see why it wouldn't be since they are proficient in those things and starting equipment seem to be based on proficiency.
I don't see why you would be able to swap the starting package. Hexblades get the proficiency "changes" at 1st level so it would be likely that one's starting gear would reflect the changes.
RAW, you only get to choose the starting options of your first class. If you MC into a second, you get only what's listed in the table on page 164 of the PHB.
Warlocks' starting gear absolutely doesn't support the Hexblades' added proficiencies, and WOTC did nothing to address the issue when they created the Hexblade. Everything about this subclass is half-baked, IMHO.
And this is D&D where most everything is negotiable. How many Alt. Ranger builds are there now? So like this everything else talk to the GM and see what can be worked out.

Key piece of his question is AL. He has to follow the starting rules for AL.
