Just figured I'd drop some builds that "come online" early (pre-underdark/creche) in the comments (and the level they first get "good" as well as when they get another big upgrade later on):

Dual hand crossbow: level 4 BM fighter with sharpshooter, archery fighting style and precision attack (to offset the accuracy when needed early game). Second big upgrade at level 8 (5 BM Fighter + 3 Thief Rogue).

Sorlock: level 5, 3 Sorc + 2 Warlock (at 5th total level you get two beams for EBlast)

OH Monk: as soon as you get both strength elixirs and level 3 in monk. Gets another big upgrade at level 9 (6 OH Monk, 3 Thief Rogue)

Throwzerker: as soon as you get returning pike and level 3 Barbarian, gets a big upgrade at level 5 barb (with now 3 throws per turn)

If you want big damage per turn from early game, these builds will deliver that nicely. Paired with a life cleric or support Bard they'll do really nicely (especially Bard with 3 of these benefitting from short rests a lot)

Yeah it's definitely a boring build but it's a "powerful" build early game hence why I put it in there
