In which way are the Divine Soul and Hexblade redundants ?
Both subclasses can be summed up by a single feature that can either be fulfilled or abused by some other classes ?
What about the rest of the features they bring, or even (god forbid), the RP, themes or gameplay they provide without resorting to minmaxing and multiclassing?
I guess it's easy for people that weren't interested in these subclasses to begin with to say it's no big deal and it's
enough to multiclass or extract the one feature people are only interested in and throw the rest into the river. 😅
In any case it's impossible to please everybody, let's hope for mods then. 😛
Hexblade is a cludge fix for the PnP version of Bladepact being borked. It is to vague to provide good "RP opportunities" in a game like this. The Undead and Genie patrons have far more RP potential, in that they actually have patrons you can have a chat with.
