Editing Hexblade (section)

====Star Pact====
Bound to the same Mythosian dark stars as presented in an earlier Dragon article for [[Warlock]]s, hexblades of the Star Pact excel at crushing minds and manipulating space around them. Their pact is hidden in issue #393 of Dragon.

''Pact Boon:'' You can use the Dire Fate at-will utility 1/round when you reduce a foe to 0 HP or an adjacent enemy drops to 0 HP. In return, you gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls until the end of your next turn.

''Pact Reward:'' You can use your Intelligence modifier (with a cumulative +2 bonus at levels 5, 15 and 25) as a damage bonus to your warlock attack powers. It also applies to the damage rolls of your Warlock's Ally from 9th level onwards.

''Pact Weapon:'' The Starshadow Blade is a one-handed melee heavy blade with a +3 proficiency bonus and a D10 damage dice. Made of shifting light and shadow, as if someone had folded molten dreams and nightmares in the forge of a star, it grants access to an at-will attack (Resplendent Blade) and an encounter attack (Wield the Warp).

''Pact Weapon Retribution:'' Using Gaze Into Nothing allows you to blind an attacking adjacent enemy until the end of your next turn.

''Summon Warlock's Ally:'' Through a crack in the air, you summon a lumbering invisible monster called a Thought Phantom, which can tear the very minds of your enemies apart.

''Hexblade's Action:'' When you spend an action point to take an extra action, the next enemy you hit or miss with an attack before the end of your turn is dazed until the end of your next turn.

''Pact Aspect:'' You gain a +2 bonus to Arcana checks and Resist 10 to Psychic, which increases to Resist 20 at 21st level. If you already had higher psychic resistance than that, increase your resistance by +5.

''Pact Curse:'' Through the Curse of Forbidden Knowledge, you can scourge a foe with psychic damage and cause it to blindly attack any of your other enemies that are adjacent to it, at least until the end of your next turn.

''Pact Invocation:'' With the power of the Star Invocation, once per day, you become insubstantial and weakened until the encounter's end or you use a minor action to return to the material world.

''Improved Pact Boon:'' When you use Dire Fate, you can choose an enemy within 2 squares and slide it 1 square.

''Pact Transformation:'' Invoking the Starry Trnsformation turns you into a flying figure of brilliant starlight that can blind enemies.

''Greater Summon Warlock's Ally:'' By calling forth a Way Walker, you summon a lumbering phantasm whose alien thoughts can crush the will to live with its sheer apathy towards mortal works.
