I need some serious help from you guys if you don't mind.... So, me and a few friends are about to start up another 4e campaign (long story, don't ask, lol) and the guy that's going to DM, well this is his first time, so he's going to use a premade adventure and being VERY restrictive and allowing ONLY PHB1 everything. Well, the other two people I'm playing decided on playing a Rogue and Paladin, sticking me with the leader role (which I don't mind since I haven't played one yet), however I was actually wanting to try a Shaman, but PHB1 only snuffed that out.
So, with the only options being Cleric (which I have no interest in) and a Warlord (which I always thought was somewhat interesting), I decided to go with the latter.
Well, after giving the class a deeper look, I pretty much assume I'll need to go inspiring as the party's main healer and to get cha/diplomacy to be party face, but then thinking about it more (and finding out that the Paladin is going Protector and can be the face) I was afraid things will likely die to slowly so maybe Taclord is a better option... The only problem with that is that my striker is a rogue who granting free MBA's to is pretty ineffective, so at this point I'm just not sure... At this point the party has no int/arcana class so that's something that's needed so maybe I should choose a taclord for that if nothing else.
It just seems to be quite a challenge trying to make an effective character with JUST the information in PHB1, but I'm trying to do the best I can. Does anyone out there have any suggestions or can help in any way? We're all still pretty green with 4e, and even D&D in general, so any assistance would be MOST helpful. Thanks in advance!
