Fighter Archetype - Fortune Fighter/Hexblade (House)

5E Fighter Page
There are 3 initial archetypes there, but leave this thread for discussion the Fortune Fighter.

The 13th Age fighter really inspired the mechanics here, but I gave it a 'luck' twist and thought it was a good match for the hexblade. It is a real odd play style that will not suit some people, but I find intriguing.

Please look and comment here, especially on the mechanics. I have tried to distinguish each archetype in feel and play/mechanics.

So what do you think of the the Fortune Fighter?

This one sounds a little alien , I can't think of any fighter from movies/books etc that slots into this one. My thoughts are that a hexblade would just be an eldrich knight from the PHB. Maybe this class could be rolled up into a feat?

Not sure how you would roll all the options into a feat. How do you mean? What exactly would the feat look like regarding flexible attacks?

This is a really different play style. it is not so much about being a hexblade, but its features of curses seemed to suit, so I put that in there.

This is for those people who love the chaos of battle and the randomness of the rolls at the table.

Fully understand if it doesn't suit someone's playstyle, but I like it. (It was also an expansion on the idea of powers triggering off a certain card in B&B). Also, remember, this is not geared towards light fighters like the other two. You could be, or you could be a normal heavy armor person taking this.

You probably couldn't fit it all into one feat, but I was thinking of the lucky feat, something like that.

Um, you get the Luck feat as you initial power. I agree :).

What about the new mechanic? The way the features work. Did you read it all?
