Good day. Say I have a level 6 Pally that mult classes to a level 1 Hexblade Warlocks. If that paladin is maxed out for CHA already does the Hexblade ability stack with his other adds from being a Paladin. I can provide more specific examples if need be. Thanks in advance.
AFAIK, the only ones that come into play would be divine smite and hexblade's curse, which should work together. You'd add your proficiency bonus to the weapon damage roll, and then add your divine smite damage. You would not add the proficiency bonus to the divine smite damage.
You would not add the proficiency bonus to the divine smite damage.
Are you sure? Hexblade's Curse merely states "damage roll". It doesn't say anything about affecting only Warlock features.
Hexblade curse would still allow you to add your proficiency bonus to your damage rolls. You only get it once per attack though. If you attacked and used smite, you wouldn't get it twice. You'd get it again on your second attack though.

It isnt about divine smite not being a warlock feature, it is about the divine smite damage being added to the weapon damage roll rather than being a separate damage effect.
Thank you everyone for jumping on this. Specifically I am talking about the to hit bonus and to damage. Example the character is a (Half Elf Paladin Level 6 and Hexblade Warlock Level 1), lets call him Bob. Bob is using his longsword (also considered his Hex weapon) to hit a sad looking goblin. Bob has the following Stat Lines: STR 14, DEX 13, CON 14, INT 10, WIS 10, CHA 18. What is Bob's to hit and to damage with that weapon?

If you did the ritual to make the longsword a hex weapon, then hit is +7, damage +4. Any non-hex weapon will be +5 to hit, and +2 damage (ranged weapons will be +4 to hit, +1 damage).
Bob is level 7 so his proficiency bonus is 3. Being a hexblade enables him to use his charisma bonus instead of his strength for his hexblade weapon. Your charisma modifier is +4. Add them together and you get a +7 for your to hit modifier. You'd then just add the charisma modifier to your damage rolls, so +4. If you're attacking an enemy afflicted with your hexblade's curse, you would also add your proficiency bonus.

EDIT: Correcting myself again. Re-read hexblade's curse, and I think you're right. It does say a "bonus to damage rolls" so I think that's any and all damage rolls.

Correct. However the smite is part of the same damage roll as the weapon attack. You'd only get it once.

Can you rephrase your question? I'm not sure what you're referring to. That being said, they probably don't stack.
