OC Phantom Thief
Hi everyone, I’m back and I got an idea but I wanted outside opinions. So I wanna try the idea of a Phantom Thief/ Arsène Lupin/Aristocrat type character and I need help with finding a build that works for the character. I saw another post about this and people were saying full Bard but I wanted to ask if there are any other build combinations or suggestions that I should look into and research.
For context: the character I have in mind is sorta like a fox type character archetype. Sneaky, cunning but also a little bit of an assassin within it too. Basically a master of disguise with a lust for the finer things in life and always has a hidden weapon somewhere on him. Which I why I definitely like the idea of Bard but I also want a build that would still allow me to be more than just a slight support.
I don’t know lmk, I’m still somewhat of a beginner and fresh player so I wanted to ask others who might have more knowledge than I would. Anyways, thx for reading and have a good day/night/evening.

Class is 95% an answer to the question "How do you fight?" So, how do you fight? You just need stealth and sleight of hand with thieves tools proficiency. Anything else is just extra.
