Cantrip: Ray of Frost
Arcane Trickster Spell: Phantasmal Force
20th Level - Rogue 11th Level, Reliable Talent, Sneak Attack: 6d6, +6 HP
Arcane Trickster Spell: Blur
Reasoning: Someone might ask why I went to Rogue 11 instead of Bard 10 given that Bard 10 would give yet another instance of Expertise. The reason is simple: Reliable Talent. "Whenever you make an ability check that lets you add your proficiency bonus, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10." This counts for all this character's skills except for Animal Handling and Athletics, which use half Proficiency Bonus via Jack of All Trades.
