Probably a boring ass Human College of Valor Bard. I'd hope Variant Human is a thing so I can get Sharpshooter feat right off the bat.

If BG3 decides to change Paladin smite mechanics so that you can smite with ranged weapons, I'd probably entertain a 2 level multiclass dip into Paladin and then take advantage of all the Bard spell slots to be constantly smiting. Especially considering that Bards don't have much in the way of direct offensive spells. Though depending on where the final level cap is, this might not be that good of a plan (since I would be delaying Magical Secrets by 2 levels doing this, and that's something Valor Bards normally get at level 10).
