[QUOTE="WarpedAcorn, post: 7011202, member: 6819400"] Its pretty hard to argue against the High Elf for the race like Ogre Mage suggested. The only other option I might suggest is Variant Human (for the Feat) or Lightfoot Halfling for the extra sneakiness. As for how to level, I would lean to starting with Rogue to 3, then dive into Wizard. Number one for me is getting those extra HP at the start, as well as the extra skills and proficiencies. Staying in Rogue another level gets Cunning Action which I feel is incredibly important for survivibility and worth going for. And that straight to 3rd Rogue level I would say is good for getting the Archetype and that extra Sneak Attack die. For Wizard, I feel you can put it off because Cantrip-wise you won't really be needing any of the non-SCAG versions since you can't Sneak Attack with a Firebolt, and the SCAG cantrips won't really shine until you hit Character-Level 5 and they upgrade. The only issue would be if you feel the Wizard Spell list is worth getting before the 3 levels of Rogue for the utility/defense. Since Mage Armor is redundant with your armor, that really leaves Shield for defense. Offensively your single target with Sneak Attack is solid, so you would have to see if you really need some Area Spells like Sleep or Burning Hands. Ultimately, I feel Wizard can wait in this build.
