Making a "Vistani" type character

[asuev]

Hello there!

I am looking to make a character for a game.

We're starting at level 4.

Ideally, I want to play a Vistani type character. I want to be a boisterous, charismatic guy.

Ideal roles would be party face and support mainly but also able to do some damage in combat.

We currently have elf monk, tabaxi cleric, and goliath battlemaster.

I was thinking some sort of bard multiclass, perhaps warlock or sorcerer.

I would be taking some way to get hex as a cantrip so that I could spit and curse people.

Any suggestions?

Well, you can get Hex by multiclassing or by taking something like Magic Initiate (Warlock), and taking it as your first level spell choice. But you can't get it as a cantrip, just FYI.

But for this type of character, I would definitely say that a Lore Bard/Warlock multiclass would be a good way to do it. Probably aiming for Warlock 2/Bard X split. If Unearthed Arcana is allowed, going College of Blades would work for a more dancer type Vistani, who dances through combats striking when they can. If not, a Lore Bard that focuses on charms and illusions is likely what you want, using Eldritch Blast as your go-to damage every round.

Yes, apologies, I did not mean as a cantrip. I meant as a spell.

And I was also thinking Lore Bard/Warlock Multiclass. Or Lore Bard/Mastermind Rogue with magic initiate for Hex.

Maybe a dexterity vengeance paladin for vow of enmity and hunter's mark.
