I'm working on a Multiclass archer build, this is what I have so far.


Assume (15Dex,14Cha,13Con,12Wis,10Int,8Str)

 

-Half-Elf: +2Cha,+1Dex/Con

or
-Human Alternate varient: Sharpshooter +1 Dex/Cha

 

Fighter 1-3:Archery Style, Secondwind, Action Surge, Battlemaster, Maneuvers:Pushing Attack, Precision Attack, Trip Attack

Spell-less Ranger 4-6:Favored Enemies(Orcs, Dragonborn), Explorer, Defensive Style, Maneuvers:Disarming Attack, Evasive Footwork, Poultics, Hunter, Horde Breaker

Figher 7-8:Human +2Dex, Half-Elf Sharpshooter, extra attack

Ranger 9: Human +1Dex +1Cha, Half-Elf +2Dex

 

Magic Options:
Option 1: This get me lots of BA options, and utility including a few more damage buffs. More offensive, especially due top metamagic
Sorceror(Favored Soul)10+: Life* Domain Spells, BA spells via metamagic


Option 2: This get me lots of BA options, and utility including a few more damage buffs.  More Defensivebut I get a couple specific spells I would want
Bard(Lore)10+:Bardic Inspiration, Jack of All trades, Song of Rest, expertise, cutting words

 

 

Non-magic Option:
Option 3:If I go this route, all the CHA point should be Con, with Wis as my dump points.
Rogue (Assassin)10+:Sneak attack, cunning action,  posion/disquise prof, assassinate

 

 


What do you think is the best option to go?  Any advice on what I already have?

Life has better Domain spells. For one it has Bless.

Sure, I can buy that, but thats honesty just a small fragment of what I'm looking for here, is the Sorceror setup even worth it over a Bard, or Rogue setup?  If the Base Fighter/ranger mix any good?

An Assasssin never dumps Wisdom. Being able to navigate to their target is huge. How're you supposed to assassinate someone if you can't even get to them? You think stealth and charm alone will get you in the right place? No, awareness and intuition go hand in hand with them. I'd say it goes: Dex/Wis/Cha, then Int/Str, with Con being last.
