Our group's going to run a one-shot on Roll20 to work the kinks out before we try running our regular campaign. It's 15th level and I've thrown together a Hexblade 1/College Of Swords 14 character. All sources are on the table even reasonable homebrew. How would you suggest I kit this guy out?
At level 14 Bard? Make sure you've taken Destructive Wave from Magical Secrets. It's one of the best area spells and you get it seven levels before a Paladin (and one level after a Tempest Cleric).
Wands of Fireballs and Lightning Bolt are fun. One of each so you get that gunfighter aesthetic going.
At higher level you'll be doing most of your damage with spells, as even with flourishes you're not going to be hitting everything within 30 feet all at once like you will with DW. The main purpose of Hexblade is to give you medium armour and shields so you don't go down too quickly. Turtle up and start blasting.

DM didn't say but he tends to be generous but reasonable for oneshots.
I think there's a table in Xanathat's with magic look by level: https://imgur.com/a/IadQLpr
A Scimitar of Speed could be useful. Maybe a Flame-Tongue rapier/longsword.
