The same can be done with the fighter, getting blind fighting style but it's limited to one use a day of the spell, so it's probably not worth to spend the fighting style.About Sentinel, i was counting a lot on this: if I'm using a whip and a dagger and I'm behind my tank it will be nearly impossible to even attack me: enemy enters my 10 ft reach? Brace and lock him far away from me, enemy attacks my tank? Sentinel grants me again reaction attack and lock him, enemy moves? He leave my reach at 5 AND at 10 feat if i have a whip in one hand and a dagger in the other one. Now, assuming Quick Toss + ready an action will mostly take my bonus action and my reaction too, mostly of time i wouldn't have the possibility to use other manouvers, cunning action, fast hands and also Sentinel, while giving up Quick Toss, or even Battle Master for Sentinel grants me anyway a large amount of opportunity attacks without negate cunning action and fast hands. And so here it comes the Hexblade, my thoughts was "i lost manouvers but, even with only Sentinel and positioning well, i only get to be attacked more than if i wouldn't use Sentinel, because i can't simply play "hit and run", but the feat is kinda able itself to grant an opportunity attack as a reaction in mostly situations and with a Whip locking enemies mean mostly they won't reach me." That said Hexblade 3, more than the crit 19/20 and some more damage that are already nice, give me the possibility to cast warlock spells of 2nd LV with a bonus action even if they normally require an action and without any spell check. So, for exemple, i can cast hold person as a bonus action, crit automatically on my sneak attack + booming Blade with the dagger and still have a reaction sneak attack via sentinel or whatever else with a whip. Also invisibility, Darkness, suggestion, mirror image, are all spells that benefits from a bonus action casting time, even cloud of daggers can be useful if used with a bonus action, more than that, even spells of 3rd LV will miss not that much as i can be SAD with the Warlock, but the fact that you can cast them as a bonus action it's priceless anyway. I'm thinking about Dispel, Hypnotic pattern, summon fey, all with a bonus action while you keep up your full damage from probably double sneak attack in a round.Going to the races: half elf was choosed indeed for elven accuracy that stack well with sneak attack's dices and also in this case warlock seem to grant advantage without using a bonus action, while the fighter doesn't.The Kobold was picked for of course packs Tactics that grants advantage near to every attack, which is nice for our sneak attack and, of course, for use Draconic Cry when he don't use scrolls or cunning action (I see Draconic Cry very thematic so i wouldn't just spamm it every time). Also here, i got to warlock because with Quick Toss this would be more difficult to happen.Of course I'm not sure if all this from warlock for save bonus actions and give him easy advantages it's really worth the loss of quick toss and manouvers , I just writed here what made me think maybe it is.</blockquote>
