The +2 AC is part of the Hexblade's Curse feature.

Yeah, a step in the right direction, unlike rhe pervious one, but the goal is still far away

Don't have one. It worked in base 5e, because it also sort of worked as a patch to the blade pact, but that patch doesn't need to be added anymore, so now they have unnecessary weapon theming. It just doesn't need to be as it is anymore. Make it a hag or something

would you say that you're not drinking the Hexade

The most nice thing I can say about this is "at least they moved away from 'you're only allowed to use Hex' unlike how they massacred Ranger"

I think they should give them the dragon sorc armor formula. Dex + cha for AC.
I think the curse should be easier to transfer/apply. On hit with melee weapon or when you cast a curse spell.
Need to define WTH a curse spell is or give us a list.

Spells that curse targets specifically say that they curse the target. It's kinda of a loose rules usage, but the text is there.

It would also future-proof the feature with any spell that curses a target.

IMO should focus on hexes and hexing the blade.
Make hits actively weaken foes, drain life, cause fear, create a duplicate to fight on its own next to you.

I think the intent is to push Warlocks to use Armor of Shadows which is basically better Light Armor, which...ya know, fair. I feel like that's a solid game design decision to reduce SAD. Definitely needs better scaling, but I think Lv. 6 is really good. Inescapable Hex doesn't use your Reaction!

I'd say Hex Restoration either needs to be scrapped or moved to a lower level, but really Curse should recharge on a Short Rest. I think the best way to deal with the sololing issue is to allow multiple people to be Hexed at higher levels (Max 3 maybe.)
