This is my first post here, and hope you math geniuses can help me make this build in my mind viable:
A mobile, sword and board melee genius who can use the two bladed scimitar like a m*th*f*cka.
I have really good stats (rolled really high 2 times, so that's DEX and CHA at 18)
I started Rogue 3 (Swashbuckler) to be reliantly good at many skills, and for the 2d6 sneak attack without advantage if I'm 1 on 1.
Then, 6 levels of Fighter (Battlemaster) to have maneuvers (Precise, feint and riposte) and 4d8 to use.
Finally, 3 levels of Sword Bard for the sword flourishes (mostly, defensive flourish to improve the AC and if they miss, riposte with sneak attack)
2 feats <Elven Accuracy> and <Reventant Blade> (DM approved, I know it's only for elves but well).
So!
I'm starting with a shield and a +3 sword (gift from my dead pc), 2 combat styles (defense +1 and two handed) and a whole lot of mobility with this, plus 2 attacks per action. Plus, elven accuracy.
My strategy would be: Attack 1: +12 to hit, 2d4 (2-bladed scimitar)+ 2d6 (sneak attack)+ 1d6 (defensive flourish) + 1d8 (precise) + 4 dex + 2 combat style + 3 magical = 2d4 + 3d6 + 1d8 + 9 Attack 2: +12 to hit, 2d4 (2-bladed scimitar) + 9 Bonus: +12 to hit 1d4 (2-bladed scimitar) + 9 + move to another target without OP (swashbuckler) or reposition myself. Reaction (hoping they miss my studded leather + shield + defense + revenant blade (+1AC) +1d6 defensive flourish = 20+1d6AC >>> Riposte: +12 to hit, 2d4+2d6+9
do you think it's ok, how would you improve? Or should I lose a class altogether and focus on just 2?

Thanks everyone!!
Two bladed scimitar is a two handed weapon, you can't use it with a shield.
