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!
After reading through this I’d also like to suggest Druid. I’m slightly biased, though, I’m a level 9 druid with a giant otter companion :-)
I would LOVE to play a druid at some point because it’s my favorite fantasy class but after seeing the amount of spells the druid in our party has, I decided to hold off for another campaign.
I decided to go with bionicjoey’s suggestion of a Psychic. I was wavering on all the other options but this one instantly clicked with me when I looked it up so I’m running with it!
Not a bad choice at all, I play a modified Wine (Weed) Oracle in a different campaign - that dude is super fun to play!
I like the druid because it gets me into the collaborative story telling aspect of RPGs. I have to think about what the situation, terrain, mission, etc are to decide on what spells for the day.
Edit: I am wrong on the spell choices 90% of the time. But that one time I lily padded the entire party out of a swamp…
They’re so versatile. That’s what I love about them but also makes me want to hold off until the next campaign
