This gives them a handy advantage against enemy mages that warrior classes tend to lack. The Bretons make capable hex blades given their impressive magic defenses. Anything that manages to survive such a malicious onslaught are fairly easy to cut down. Everything from slowed movement, staggering, weakness to magic, crippled defenses, confusion, fear, and far worse are thrown at your enemies. In Skyrim this translates to afflicting enemies with a wide array of status ailments, via magic, that force enemies to fight with some pretty severe handicaps. In most fantasy settings where they can be found, hex blades afflict their enemies with terrible curses that leave them fighting at a mere fraction of their former strength. The mechanics and concept of cursing enemies plays a heavy role in this build. But whereas spell swords use magic to augment their own capabilities, Hex blades instead use a variety of evil spells to cripple the capabilities of their enemies. Whereas Paladins seek to aid and defend in service to benevolent gods, Hex Blades invoke chaos and ruin much to the amusement of malevolent daedric lords, to whom they have sacrificed much in exchange for the immense power they wield.Ī Hex Blade is essentially a spell sword, and like most spell swords they’re skilled fighters as well as adept spell casters. In many ways, the Hexblade is the antithesis of the Paladin. While certainly capable of fighting toe to toe, Hex Blades rely instead on their knowledge of long forgotten dark magicks to afflict their enemies with terrible curses, rendering their enemies weak, helpless, and inept So boot up your PCs and get ready to play my latest build.Ĭombining the might of the blade and the power of the arcane, a Hex Blade is a vicious force to be reckoned with. So today I present to you an archetype I’ve been dying to work with for ages.
What excites me most about modded builds is the chance to explore classes and archetypes that simply can’t be replicated with anything available in the vanilla game. I’ve been ranting for ages about the infinite possibilities that they offer to Skyrim character builders.
