	Additionally, the hexblade may ignore the arcane spell failure penalty on shields that strap to the arm, such as the buckler, but not on other shields that are held in the hand. When holding a weapon in each hand, the hexblade always has at least a 5% chance at spell failure when casting spells with a somatic component, no matter what his Charisma bonus is.

When holding a weapon in each hand, the hexblade always has at least a 5% chance at spell failure when casting spells with a somatic component, no matter what his Charisma bonus is.

			This ability only applies to hexblade spells. If a hexblade character gains levels in another arcane spellcasting class, his Force of Personality ability does not reduce his spell failure chance when casting spells granted from that class.

	At 20th level the hexblade may use the Intimidate skill to ~~intimidate~~ all enemies within a 20-foot radius that can see him, whether or not he threatens them in melee combat. The hexblade makes one Intimidate check, and the result is opposed individually by every enemy within 20 feet of the hexblade. The hexblade may elect to use the Intimidate skill on only one opponent if he desires, or on all enemies in the area. He may not selectively ~~intimidate~~ multiple opponents within the area.

	Additionally, after a hexblade stops using a discipline he may not resume its use or begin using another discipline until a period of time has passed, allowing him to recharge his body and refocus his thoughts. The amount of time he must wait after using a given discipline is listed in each discipline’s description. The hexblade is free to fight and engage in other strenuous activity during this period between discipline uses, but cannot shorten the period even with devoted rest.

	''Resistant: ''At 21st level a hexblade gains the Resistant discipline. This discipline allows the hexblade to inure himself to the ravages of acid, cold, disease, electricity, fire, magic poison, and some attacks. The hexblade may activate the Resistant discipline as a free action, gaining a bonus of resistance (10) to all of the aforementioned attack types (see “Spell Special Effects” in Chapter 8: Using Magic in the Player’s Handbook for more information on resistance). This discipline lasts for one hour once activated, though the hexblade may end it early if he wishes. The hexblade may not activate another discipline for 12 hours after the Resistant discipline ends.		''Resistant: ''At 21st level a hexblade gains the Resistant discipline.

	''Fearless:'' At 24th level a hexblade gains the Fearless discipline. This discipline allows the hexblade to ignore the effects of shaken, frightened, or panicked conditions, as well as anything defined as a fear effect (certain spells or abilities with the [fear] descriptor have effects other than fear that may still affect the hexblade, but the fear effects of the spell will not). Activating this discipline is a free action that may be taken at any time (even when it is not the hexblade’s action).

	''Swashbuckling:'' At 27th level a hexblade gains the Swashbuckling discipline. This discipline allows the hexblade to make all iterative attacks at his full attack bonus for 3 rounds (i.e., as if his weapons had a delay of 0), as long as he is using a single one-handed weapon. Activating the Swashbuckling discipline is a free action. The hexblade may not activate another discipline for 12 hours after ending the Swashbuckling discipline.

	''Presence of Awe:'' At 30th level a hexblade gains the Presence of Awe discipline. This discipline allows the hexblade to suddenly gain an irresistible glamour, making him the focus of attention for those around him. This glamour depends on the personality of the hexblade, and is extremely unique to the individual, exuding an aura of courage, beauty, leadership, craftiness, nobility, bravado, intelligence, or whatever aspect of the hexblade’s personality is most characteristic. Whoever sees a hexblade use this discipline never forgets the moment, or the hexblade, and the experience is remembered as a very impressive moment, even for enemies.
