[QUOTE="Arvok, post: 8210812, member: 6990899"] 5th level Ranger (Gloom Stalker)/3rd level Rogue (Assassin). You're invisible to darkvision, you should have a very good initiative modifier since you add Dex AND Wis, you get an extra attack at the start of combat, that attack does an extra d8, you have advantage on attack rolls on the first round of combat against creatures that haven't acted yet, AND any hit against a creature that is surprised is a critical.
