The only thing we're notably lacking is somebody who can take heavy punishment in melee, but that could be almost anything - barbarian, cleric, fighter, paladin, ranger, even something wacky like an artificer or monk if you're going for toughness. I would be guided more by what you (and your player-character) would find the most fun to play.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Sam's too new to the game to know what she wants.  I've had the most enjoyment in 5e with caster types.  We've been pretty full on casters since the beginning, so I planned to try and go another route.  I was thinking Eldritch Knight, but none of their stuff comes online until 3rd level.  Same goes for a lot of the options listed above.  Don't want to step on anyone's toes, so not sure how people feel about duplicate classes.   I enjoy something that has utility, versatility, and requires a bit more thought and planning then "I attack the nearest enemy".
