[QUOTE="MooreVol, post: 7319162, member: 6873206"] I am far from an authority on anything D&D, being a relative newcomer (I played some 2e in high school before getting back into 5e), but seems like as long as you get Rogue 3/Something with extra attack 5 then you'll be alright. Rogue 3/Fighter 2/Warlock 2 would be pretty nice. You could go Fighter 5 or Warlock 5 (if you're Pact of the Blade) then just whatever floats your boat, lotta good options out there. Gloom Stalker gives you an extra attack in the first rounder and a bonus to Initiative. And spells. It's a minimum 3 level investment, but still may be worthwhile. (I'm, admittedly, a bit enamored with the Gloom Stalker). Warlock has more spells and some pretty cool patron features. Dark One's Own Luck (Fiend) seems like it would mesh well with an assassin.
