allows you to multiclass from different archetypes as you level up, which can help create extremely powerful builds for a Rogue character. One specific path players have discovered combines all the traits of two classes to form a terrifying set of strengths. Combining the stealth features of the Rogue with the combat prowess of the Ranger gives your character a strong sense of synergy.

The Rogue and Ranger work well together because the classes each rely on the Dexterity Ability Score. When you're building a Rogue in , one of the weaknesses of the class is their low health and glass cannon approach to combat. Rangers are proficient with Medium Armor, Martial Weapons, and Shields in addition to a few spells that improve the Rogue's arsenal.

There are multiple ways to make a Ranger multiclass work, but you'll want to start as a Rogue when creating your character. At Level 1, you immediately get an Expertise passive feature that lets you double your proficiency bonus on a Skill. This could be applied to Stealth, Sleight of Hand, or other abilities tied to a high Dexterity score, which should be the strongest aspect of this build.

Rogues also get Sneak Attack for both melee and ranged attacks right when this class is chosen in. Whenever you have an advantage against an enemy, this ability causes you to deal a ton of extra damage on top of your normal attack. This feature also works whenever you have an ally right next to you, which could help create some coordinated attacks on deadly foes.

Sneak Attack sets up the foundation for your character, while Ranger gives you better skills to set up that feature. Mobility spells in and other utility magic are available to the Ranger once they hit Level 2. While this multiclass may not let you get high-level spells like the Warlock or Wizard, the magic is designed to support your core strategies, since you'll already have powerful Rogue abilities.

Rangers use their Wisdom Ability Score to cast spells, so make sure this stat is your second highest next to Dexterity as you make this multiclass build.

Overall, you should take 7Levels of Rogue and 5Levels of Ranger to maximize the effectiveness of both classes' traits. Doing this will allow you to pick a subclass for each archetype in before you hit the Level Cap of 12. While you will lose out on specific skills gained at higher ranks for either class, the synergy between the two makes up for the loss of some features.

Nearly any racial option could work for this Rogue multiclass, but the Drow, Tiefling, Half-Elf, and Elf stand out the most. Drow have a natural proficiency with Perception in, which could allow your Rogue to scope out the battlefield for good Sneak Attack places. Tieflings have natural magic from their
