And 5e(2024) really only has two ways to get anything like that at level one, Pact of the Blade Lock, or a weapon focused class using shenanigans with Magic Initiate Feat for True Strike.
Had he stuck around, the concept was salvageable, but not very discoverable to a new player.

4e ironically made this one thing much easier--just take swordmage. But that system was so hard otherwise.
D&D 5e has got complexity in combat focused gameplay, but isn't tightly tuned and balanced, and kind of never can be with the legacy ideas it has to keep.
Though, Daggerheart has me interested.
