Level 1: DEX 15 and CHA 13... custom lineage (choose elf) from Tasha's to get DEX 17 and take the Elven Accurracy feat (DEX 18) and Darkvision. Choose Rogue for your class and Stealth should be one of your expertise selections.
Level 2: take Hexblade so you can crit on 19's and 20's and combo it off of Elven Accuracy. Take Hex and some other spell. For cantrips, Eldritch Blast and Booming Blade (so you have options).
Level 3: go back to Rogue and stay there for now as you advance in levels. you get Cunning action.
Level 4: take the Assassin subclass.
At level 1 you can use 2 weapon fighting if needed. Remember that if you can get advantage you get to roll 3d20 for your attack. Your weapon plus Sneak Attack (maybe a secondary weapon in case the 1st misses).
At level 2 you now have Hexblade's Curse to get crit's on 19's and 20's. plus add prof. as bonus damage. the Hex spell adds 1d6... (the damage starts adding up... and all the dice could be doubled if you land a crit.)
At level 3 you get the use of Cunning Action. (Rogues know what to do with this feature.)
At level 4 this becomes another way to get advantage and on surprises... crits.
Anyone have any ideas to optimize this build even further perhaps?

Custom Lineage is not a "RACE" for the purpose of taking race specific feats. You could take Fey Touched or Shadow Touched (or another half feat) to get Charisma to 18 though.
So with custom lineage you are no race?... every race?... or you choose which specific race you are, such as half-elf/half-dwarf?
Isn't a regular half-elf: 1 part elf and 1 part human?... so with custom linage you can customize your race?
Yes? No? How does this work?

i'm 99% custom lineage is considered its own race
