Hexblade Suggestion

I've been playing a rogue/hexblade with the intent of taking 5-6 levels in hexblade. Basically it's like the old fashioned rogue/fighter type of build that uses a full BaB and Discipline class to fill in certain gaps, but with a familiar and some magical flavor.

I'm loving the flavor of this class combination and I did choose it for fun rather than overall power, but I'm still a little disappointed at how sub-par it feels. And I think this is a missed opportunity.

The suggestion:

Make early hexblade levels a little more useful so that it's a slightly more tempting multiclass alternative. Do something that'll make it almost competitive with fighter or ranger. A few points of magic damage given for free, a better regeneration ability, access to spellcraft, a single combat feat. Anything, really.

This may seem like a niche issue, and it is, but there are a lot of builds that need a BaB/Discipline multiclass and seeing people take fighter on everything gets a little dull.
