You missed the point. Hexblade melee attack count as using both your hexblade and your implement. That means a sword of the white well summoned with a light blade counts as a heavy blade AND a light blade blade, just as one summoned with a rod counts as a rod and a heavy blade.
One other thing of note: Dwarf Hexblades possess the only method to get a native Reach Hammer in the entire game, using a Pact Throwing Hammer and a Scourge of Exquisite Agony. Enjoy your Reach 2 Flail/Hammer, gents.
Or an arena fighter with any hammer and staff, staff expertise... or any goliath with a hammer and the stoneblessed PP... or... at least 3 other ways I can think of off the top of my head...
Taking that feat only means you are now capable of using a light blade as an impement. It wouldn't change the properties of a existing implement or weapon, and the Sword of the White Well remains a +2 prof d12 one handed heavy blade, therefore unusable with Surprising Charge... And why would you take it anyway? You already have an implement (you need one to summon your Pact Blade), why would you need to be able to use a light blade as an implement?

SO on a charge, you'd count as hitting with both a light blade and a heavy blade. Hence it being usable with surprising charge.
Ahh, I did indeed miss that part. Thanks for clearing it up for me.

You're telling me. Up until now I have avoided hexblades like the plague (whenever I go near one, my CharOp sense starts tingling). Now I am starting to think I should explore some schenanegans myself...

I'm building a pixie rogue for our next adventure. We are starting at level 4. She will be an artfull dodger using a dagger. I'm just not shure which theme to pick. I see her more as a trickster than a criminal so outlaw doesn't fit.
I could also use some help in the item section. What weapon, armor and other items should i pick for now and for my "wishlist" (my dm would like to have)?

The only special thing a pixie gains is the ability to ride a feybeast (fey panther being pretty good for rogues). Though they won't get any bonuses from artful dodger. Other wise check out the rouge or theme handbook.
As far as items, i have a little list that pixies use well. (goblin totem), but your still mostly going to be taking things based on your class (i.e. don't use picks, use daggers).

Guttersnipe is a solid theme that'd fit a trickster well. Alchemist could be cool as well, since making smoke bombs and other fun toys sounds right up a trickster's alley.
Outlaw doesn't neccesarily mean you're a criminal. You might have upset the wrong person, or be a Robin Hood type character - food for thought, I guess.

I think that with the new fire monk build, the pixie would almost be considered gold. Uses Cha for its FoB so both Dex and Cha from the pixie would really help it. And the fire FoB comes with a free shift on use. So if you had mark of storms to get the flight, you would also shift 2 on your FoB. Add blurred ki focus and you could shift twice for 2 squares if you use a power that has 2 attacks. There is the daily for monks that gives you a free FoB, and the Daily attack power that gives you multiple attacks.
