[QUOTE="Cette, post: 6738176, member: 6802607"] Ok I'm trying to take this terrible idea and build it to it's maximum potential. He's already level 4 so going back on anything isn't happening I'm just looking on advice on how to go forward. The party consists of Myself the Forest Gnome ranger cavalry mounted on a giant frog and using a lance and shield. I swap down to a flail for on foot action. Another Gnome Ranger this one a tinker gnome hunter using a homebrew compound bow with longbow stats. Half Orc Vengeance Paladin going with GWF Wood Elf Moon Druid who rolled bartender level stats but is using wildshape to compensate. Nonvariant Human Shadow Monk Half Elf Devotion Paladin going sword and board Half Elf Old One pact Warlock The two half elves are swapping in between from session to session so I'm the only reliable person with a shield in the group. My stats are Str 14 Dex 14 Con 12 Int 8 Wis 12 Cha 11 I took the dueling fighting style and just picked up sentinel at level 4. The only feat I'm leaving off the table is polarm mastery cheese with a staff and shield and I don't want to multiclass as it would further weaken my pet. I'm wearing Scale and the frog has chain mail barding. So with all that in mind what's the best way to actualize my potential for tanking from here? I'm considering just alternating strength and con increase from here on out but I might detour for mounted combatant. So far I'm been having surprisingly good luck with enemies bungling saving throws against the frogs entangle but I know I can't count on that. [/QUOTE]
