I build an Mark of the Shadow Elf - Swashbuckler Rouge and would like your feedback/ideas for improvements.
Let's get straight to it:
Race: Mark of the Shadow Elf
Class: Rouge - Swashbuckler
Background: Entertainer (Acrobatics/Performance)
Skills: Basically choosing all the Dex/Charisma Skills
Ability Scores (Standard Array): 8/15/14/10/12/13
ASI lvl 4: Feat - Magic Initiate Warlock (Booming Blade, Friends, Hex) - I thought about Wizard to choose Find Familliar but there are already enough ways to get Sneak Attack with the Swashbuckler. Also Hex enhances Dmg and you can give disadvantage on Charisma to enhance the chance for panache.
ASI lvl 8: Elven Accuracy (Dex) - to more consistently hit with Sneak Attack while having advantage and therefore increasing crit Chance
ASI lvl 10: Moderately Armored (Dex) - to get Shield proficiency while bumping dex. Also to bump the AC with medium Armor until Dex is maxed out
ASI lvl 12: Piercer (Dex) -for Dex and rerolling/adittional Crit Damage
I like how the Race, Background, Subclass all fit together. I realize that going another way (e.g High Elf Half Elve with Booming Blade Cantrip + simply choosing the ASIs) would get your Dex up faster. My thought was that getting advantage (via invisibility or flanking...) should be easy enough and therefore I would profit from the feats getting me additional benefits more. Though I haven't played a rouge yet.
What are your thoughts?
