Hello everyone. I need some help with a build. I want to play a Hexblade Warlock (from UA) in my next campaign (we're starting at level 1). I want to build toward taking the invocation from UA that allows you to smite and also get as much mileage as possible out of the Hexblade. I rolled stats and got: 16, 15, 13, 12, 9, 9.
What I'm having trouble with is finding a reliable way to get advantage on attacks. I know there's the Darkness and Devil's Sight trick, but I feel like that might hamper my party a little too much. I've been thinking about multiclassing Barbarian (or starting with Barb and going Warlock) for Reckless Attack. What's the best level plan? We're playing Curse of Strahd, which ends around level 10 or there about, so I don't want to play a build that gets going too late.
On another note, should I even worry about getting advantage that much? I'm not necessarily crit-fishing, but hitting more is good. Just really unsure how to get the most out of the Hexblade. I was also thinking about using Great Weapon Master for EVEN MOAR DAMAGE. But again, kinda need reliable advantage for that.
Right now I'm thinking start Barb til 2, then Warlock X, or Barb 3/ War X. Extra attack from Barb is nice, but I don't mind using an invocation for that. Basically any race is up for discussion, but I was thinking Human for the bonus feat.
