The level 6 Celestial Warlock ability synergises very well with Paladin Smites, Divine Favour, and True Strike.Vengeance Paladin might work better for a dedicated killer, but would probably be a bit too "Pure Flame" extremist for me to be happy playing.If I was doing an "assassin" type build, I'd probably go for more of a Rogue/Ranger mix, with more emphasis on the actual hunting down and locating the target, then infiltrating and killing them that than spellcasting.Mechanically, what is the out-of-combat role and capabilities of your suggested character? I'm assuming decent Charisma and Dexterity? So you should be fine as a party Face?In combat, is the plan to cast Divine favour, Oath of Enmity then just stab as many times as possible? I am assuming you have Two weapon Fighting style and be picking up Dual Wielder Feat? One weapon will need to be a Dagger or similar with Nick, but I'd suggest a different one for your other hand. Since it is a Pact weapon, the concealability isn't really an issue. Maybe a shortsword or Handaxe?I'm guessing that you were intending to put a weapon Mastery into Longbow. I'd suggest that while carrying and using a longbow is a good idea and fits well, Longbow Mastery isn't amazing. You might want to put that other mastery into your off-hand weapon instead, possibly something with Vex, for when your oath isn't available.On the plus side, while as others have pointed out, you can't use a cantrip and get extra attacks through dual-wielding, you can use True strike with your bow. Downsides are that in melee you will be making some attacks with Dex, and some with Charisma, so you will have to try to keep both high.</blockquote>
