12-09-05, 10:24 AM hi!

we will start a new campaign and there will be only 2 players. there is no setting yet and it will be phb only.
since i havent played in small group like that, i would like to have some tips from you guys.

the other player decided to play a straight wizard.

my stats are: 16, 16, 13, 13, 11, 10 plus the possibility to adjust 4 points (i.e. the total of points remians).

i am considering the following classes:
cleric
druid
paladin
rogue

i was thinking of the versatileness of all of those classes - that means healing, fighting, skills, casting,...

what do you guys think would be best for such a small group. would you go for a allrounder, or a specialist.

just post your experiences, ideas,.....

thanks,

12-09-05, 10:29 AM You should be a cleric or a druid and your companion should be a cleric or a druid. If he doesn't want to reroll now, his wizard should bite the dust fairly quickly unless you are starting at a high level.

I would pick druid. There just isn't another core class that is stronger or more versatile.

12-09-05, 10:46 AM Well if he won't change... in a two person game he's not gonna last long as a straight wizard. Arcanists are very fragile. Just try to convince him to play a his next character as a cleric or druid.

As for your stats... I moved 3 points around.

Str 11
Dex 10
Con 14
Int 16
Wis 18
Cha 10

For feats, I guess I'd suggest Spell Focus (Conj) and Augment Summoning at first level.

12-10-05, 12:30 PM i thought a cleric would be the better choice, because of his armor-prof., healing-skills,....

you suggest a druid, what seems great to me too, but is he really able to be all my companion needs to be (tank, healer, dmg-dealer,...).

could you give some ideas how to adjust to the different situations, may it be spells, forms, weapons, companion, summoned allies,...

thanks!!!

12-10-05, 01:10 PM with the druid, you are two characters, you the healer/summoner, and your companion, the meleer,for the first couple levels your wolf or whatever will be decent for melee, especially if you buy him armor to up his low ac.
