[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 6749897, member: 59057"] I believe rogue/warlock is spot on for the non essential assassin. Maybe shadow monk would also be something to look at. What you should not do is ölanning too hard about what class to advance levels ahead. Just increase levels as you go. 5e is balanced well enough. Your eldritch blast scales reasonably well. Your single or two weapon attacks with advantage most probably will give you sneak attack. Good invocations are devil sight to see in your magical darkness. The only thing you need is conjuring a short sword as pact weapon and then use a normal short sword as off hand weapon to have a good damage output if that is your concern. Especially with your 18 dex. Two weapon fighting style is rather bad for a dexterity based chatacter because +2 dex gives you more. What I would consider is assassin rather than swashbuckler. You can easily have advantage at will as warlock 3 and if you are invisible to your enemy, you can always disengage without taking opportunity attacks. Yeah... that's it. I am sure it was a bit much... tl dr don't worry, you are good no matter what you do. [/QUOTE]
