Feats would be dependent on Hag’s hair. If you have the hair, lvl 4 ASI Dex 19 + Hag’s hair 20. No Hag’s hair, Athelete. Lvl 9 Assassin 4, Sharpshooter. Don’t need sharpshooter early with this build. Do not need 3rd feat. Set yourself up to kill everything in turn 1, or weak ones turn 2.

• Str 8
• Dex 17
• Con 8
• Int 10

Best part about this build is: if you pickpocket Lann Tarv at Moorise every chance you get, you’ll have enough Angelic Reprieve potions to not require a long-rest for the rest of the game.
