looking for suggestions for my AL character. I don’t have a lot of play above 10th level so I’m not sure if this build will just get trashed then.
The main build will be fighter (battlemaster 6) / rogue (mastermind) x. It won’t fully come online until lvl 9... which is awhile to wait but he should still be decent until then. The reason for mastermind is so I have something to do with my bonus action since i will have a shield.
stats:
human (debating change to half elf at lvl 5)
str 10 dex 16 Con 14 Int 8 Wis 12 Cha 14
feats: sentinel (1), +2 dex (5 & 7), not sure what next
build:
lvl 1 fighter / rogue 1: dueling style, use sentinel for extra sneak.
lvl 3 battlemaster / rogue 1: use riposte whenever you can’t use sentinel for extra sneak.
Lvl 6 battlemaster / rogue 1: use commander strike ally attack when necessary.
Lvl 6 battlemaster /mastermind 3: use bonus action to help.
With your bonus action you could also be using cunning action but master of tactics is good too. I’m not fond of Mastermind and especially not Inquisitive, but they are pretty cool. If it were me I would go like Swashbuckler 15 / fighter 5
I may end up just doing fighter 5. Also, the reason for the bonus action is because I want to stay engaged in melee to trigger sentinel/ riposte for an extra sneak attack. So I feel like I won’t be using cunning action. It’s still a tough call though since I’ll be relying on an ally for sneak attack.
I feel like going all rogue would be better. You do lose an extra attack and some fighter abilities but you get better sneak damage and you get access to the higher level mastermind abilities. Plus your combo comes online at level 4 rather than level 9.
Take Sentinal feat at level 1 (Human)
Take Martial Adept feat at level 4 (Riposte and Commanders strike)
I was looking at a similar build but using swashbuckler instead of mastermind.

Oh sorry. I see now. Good luck.
