Serve as Blade and Judgment

Your pact is with a weapon forged in magic and malice—an intelligent blade, a fragment of a slumbering god, or a cursed relic that once drank the blood of kings. Whether it was forged in the Lower Planes, blessed by an exiled celestial, or created in the shadow of a dead warlock’s will, your patron empowers you to act as its avatar. Unlike other warlocks who wield eldritch power from afar, you are the arm of your patron’s will, striking fear through steel and curse alike.

Level 3: Hexblade Spells

The magic of your patron empowers you with precision, movement, and devastating strikes. When you reach a Warlock level specified in the Hexblade Spells table, you always have the listed spells prepared.

Warlock Level	Spells
3	Hex, Magic Weapon, Shield, Wrathful Smite
5	Conjure Barrage, Mirror Image
7	Freedom of Movement, Staggering Smite
9	Animate Objects, Steel Wind Strike

Level 3: Cursebound Hex

You can cast Hex without expending a spell slot or material components a number of times equal to your Charisma. You regain all uses when you finish a Long Rest. When you cast Hex using this feature:

• Once per turn, when you hit the cursed target with a weapon attack, you deal extra necrotic damage equal to your Proficiency Bonus.
• Your weapon attacks against the cursed target score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.

You may only have one Hex active at a time using this feature.

Level 3: Hexblade’s Weapon

Your patron enhances your combat skills to fight in its name. You gain Proficiency with martial weapons, and Training with medium armor and shields.

Additionally, you learn to channel your patron's power through special cursed techniques known as Hexblade Maneuvers. You learn three Hexblade Maneuvers of your choice from the Hexblade Maneuvers list. You learn additional maneuvers as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Hexblade Maneuvers table. You can use a number of Hexblade Maneuvers per long rest, also shown in the table. You can use one maneuver per turn. If a maneuver requires a saving throw, the DC is equal to your Warlock spell save DC.

Warlock Level	Maneuvers Known	Maneuver Uses
3-5	3	3
6-8	3	4
9-11	5	5
12-14	7	6
15+	7	7

Level 6: Shadowcurse Mastery

Your patron makes the curse even more powerful, making it more versatile and opening new opportunities.

• When you cast Hex using your Cursebound Hex feature, it does not require concentration.
• The cursed target has disadvantage on saving throws of the chosen ability type instead of ability checks.
• If the cursed target fails a saving throw against any spell or magical effect, you can transfer Hex to another creature within 30 feet as a bonus action or a reaction.

Level 10: Hexblade’s Momentum

Your patron further empowers your connection to the cursed weapon, enhancing your speed, reflexes, and martial intuition.

• You learn two additional Hexblade Maneuvers of your choice from the Hexblade Maneuvers list.
• When a creature makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to impose a penalty to the roll equal to 1d8. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and regain all uses when you finish a Long Rest.
• When a creature cursed by your Hex drops to 0 hit points, you regain hit points equal to your Warlock level + your Charisma modifier. Alternatively, you may choose to grant these hit points to an ally within 30 feet of you that you can see.

Level 14: Hexblade’s Final Judgment

Your patron’s curse becomes an overwhelming force on the battlefield. When you cast Hex using your Cursebound Hex feature:

• You may target two creatures at once.
• Your weapon attacks against those creatures score a critical hit on a roll of 18–20.

Your bond with your pact weapon is equally complete, allowing you to strike with unmatched precision and cursed technique:

• You learn two more Hexblade Maneuvers of your choice.
• You can use two different Hexblade Maneuvers per turn, one on each hit.
• If your cursed target drops to 0 hit points before you apply a maneuver, you can redirect that maneuver to another creature within 30 feet of you.

When you gain access to Hexblade Maneuvers, choose from the following list. You must meet any level requirement listed for a maneuver.
