Note to start: This build is really not for use as a player. It is meant to be a counter to that problem player who thinks his character is invincible and is murder hoboing the town. This build can then be turned into a pretty scary long term villain, able to strike at any time from any where.
The trick: An ultra stealthy ant crawls on the players foot and stabs him with a (toothpick/pin, grain of dust) for 20d8 + 8d6 damage (average of 118 damage).
The build:
Paladin 2, Warlock (Hexblade) 9 (minimum 5), Druid 2, Rogue (Assassin) 7 (minimum 3)
The 2 levels of druid allow it to wildshape into something innocuous, like an ant
The 2 levels of Paladin give it divine smite (5d8 damage, 10d8 on a crit)
The 9 levels of hexblade give them 2 5th level spell slots, charisma based attack rolls, and Eldritch Smite for another 6d8 damage (12d8 on a crit)
The 7 levels of assassin give 4d6 sneak attack damage (8d6 on a crit), auto-crit on surprise, and expertise in stealth.
For long-term villain use I would drop hexblade to 5 and assassin to 3 and pull in 8 levels of Sorcerer, taking subtle spell and things like disguise/alter self and the actor feat, allowing them to impersonate just about anyone they want (throw their other expertise in deception). Allowing for death to come from anyone or anything.
Thoughts?
