The new Warlock materials have given me an idea for a Half-Elf Rogue/Fae Pact Warlock who accidentally stole from a powerful lady of the Wild Hunt, the lady (sans merci, naturellement) took his soul in recompense, and now has a year and a day to get it back.
Ok, here's my first stab for critique (I had to do some guessing about how multi-classing works so this is still rough:

-----------------------------------
Things I like about this build:
1. Eldritch Blast Sneak Attacks - 5d6 damage is pretty tasty to start with.
2. With Skill Mastery and Fae Pact boon, is going to succeed on pretty much any Bluff check, and I plan to pick up Diplomacy and Intimidate too to round out his social skills.
3. Between Skill Mastery, Thief Scheme, and Breath of Night, is pretty damn good at Stealth, which will make those Eldritch Blast Sneak Attacks more likely.
4. Leveling improvements really synergize well, as get better at stealth, avoiding attacks, moving around without getting attacked, cons, etc.
Thoughts?
