12-18-07, 08:37 PM If I had a character that was both a Hexblade and a Blackguard, would that character gain both bonuses to his saving throws from charisma?

Thanks in advance

I would agree the do stack, remember the Hexblade's Arcane Resistance only applies to spells and spell-like abilities

12-25-07, 09:34 AM Hexblade 3 isn't that bad. Full BAB, CHarisma to saves, Mettle, d10 hit die, and all martial weapons. As long as you don't go Hexblade 4, you can pick up armor proficiency later and use whatever armor you want.

12-30-07, 07:59 AM We've been over this. A hexblade Blackguard does get Charisma to saves twice.

12-30-07, 11:17 AM a monk/ninja is getting the same ability twice.

a hexblade/blackguard gets different abilities that ad bonuses to some of the same things.
