So I'm trying to come up with a team of characters that their main purpose is to buff each other's abilities. Example would be probably a Paladin with that nature oath so he can buff the team's saving throws and make them resistant to magic.
When I say best, ya that's used loosely, but here's another 2 examples of what I'm looking for: 1) not just a bard, but a hexblade for maybe 3 levels so he can get his pact weapon greatsword so he can basically do Paladin smiting (for those of you who have read the hexblade unearthed arcana of his Curse Bringer invocation) and the rest of the levels as a bard. That way I get the party buffing Bard abilities, but he's not just a bard, because the "smiting" gives some quick and easy power. 2) what I'm not looking for is something that's just not worth wasting a character on, like the purple dragon knight. Ya he can eventually get 2 other characters to get an extra attack after he uses an action surge, but I feel like I'd rather just make a better character, rather than force myself to use him just because he has party buffing abilities.
As you can tell from my examples, unearthed arcana is fine to use. I actually like the idea of multiclassing and I don't have a certain party size I'm looking for yet. I just want ideas that could synergize well together and to see if we can come up with a team that might be better than your standard, "okay, we need a tank, a striker, etc..."
If any if you remember the Marshal from DnD 3.5, that's the kind if stuff I'd like.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts. Don't bother berating what you feel I might have left out, didn't clarify enough, etc... Just send some cool ideas in and let's see what we can come up with.
Thanks again everyone!
