[QUOTE="Gladius Legis, post: 7935855, member: 68748"] Straight Assassin Rogue with the Alert feat works just fine. The surprise auto-crit part of Assassinate probably won't happen for you much in a combat-heavy campaign, but the part of Assassinate gives you advantage on any enemy in the first round as long as you beat their initiative, that is actually [I]highly underrated[/I]. That means you land an almost certain Sneak Attack without having to wait on allies to set you up, or having to spend any other actions or bonus actions to get it. That alone is quite significant. Also, taking Fighter or Ranger levels won't really pay off until you get up to Lv. 5 in one of those. If you're already a Lv. 3 Rogue, that means your'd have to wait until Lv. 8 for your multiclass to pay off, and your Sneak Attack would fall behind in the meanwhile. So I'd stay straight Rogue at this point for that reason alone. [/QUOTE]
