Hello everyone,
We are nearing the end of my first TTRPG campaign and in a few weeks, the DM is starting a homebrew. I joined this one half way through and a friend slapped together most of my level 7 character for me, a basic fighter. For this new campaign I’m hoping to have “more to do” in and out of battle so I’m looking for class advice.
I want to play a support class but I’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the class options. All I know is that I want it to be beginner-friendly support that can heal but also do more - like damage, buffs, or debuffs. Doesn’t have to be all 3!
The group gave me a few suggestions but there was so much back and forth about how complicated they are, I thought I’d pose the question here.
Can someone help point me in the right direction on a simple support? Any help would be appreciated!
If you look at the whole spell list it’s kind of daunting. But you’re starting off at level one I would assume, so you will only have a small portion of the low level spells to look at initially. It’s super manageable If you think about it in small chunks, and you’ll have lots of time to read through the higher level of spells and think about the ones you wanna learn once they are available when you level up. Healing… really? A wizard of your talents?
I just saw above you mentioned that you played wow. It’s kind of the same thing, if you were to look at the endgame skill list of another class that you never played before it would be crazy. But when you start them off at level one there’s just a few mechanics to learn and it’s not overwhelming at all
There are good tools for limiting your view to only what spells are relevant, too. I like the spellbook over at pf2easy.com for this.
Someone’s gotta heal! I don’t want everyone to rely on potions
I’m having trouble finding much info on the healing abilities of wizards but I swear I read about it a few weeks ago…
