For tankage, Dame Astirise of Silverwood; a half-elf paladin feyknight. Fairly tanky in melee, but her true power is shielding against magic. Hug her. Within 10 feet, you have +5 to all saves, resistance versus any kind of spell damage, and are immune to fear. She herself is then immune to disease and poison as well, and has save bonuses ranging from +8 (Intelligence) to +19 (charisma). Most are in the mid-teens. Athletic, perceptive and has good social skills.
Damage in melee seems unimpressive; she uses a staff (of Power!) for a mere 1d8+6. But she has Polearm Master, so she can get a bonus action attack. And the staff can spend a charge to add 1d6. And she can smite with it. Spike damage potential is high. Warlock spell slots help compensate for the long rest being a week long. Staff charges and warlock slots recover on a daily basis.
She's not strictly a damage build though, nor a stupidly tanky build. I tried to keep her options open. Lots of remedy spells, lots of mobility. Emphasis on versatile response to a wide range of threats. We'll see how good it works, if I use this character.
Need price check on Bag of Holding, Lantern of Revealing, Decanter of Endless Water.

Can I get a quick ruking? So most illusions can't cause harm by the spells description I'm assuming this is because there all smoke and mirror's buuuut the level 14 Illusionist feature makes them real does this make them cause harm?

Hmmm...given the short rest/1day, long rest/1 week rules, I'm thinking a fighter would work well (short rest mechanics). Also considering druid, since they're very versatile, and wild shape works on the short rest mechanic. I'll roll some stats. Let me know what you think.
Stats: 4D6.HIGH(3) = [4, 5, 6, 3] = 15
4D6.HIGH(3) = [3, 2, 6, 6] = 15
4D6.HIGH(3) = [6, 5, 1, 3] = 14
4D6.HIGH(3) = [1, 4, 1, 2] = 7
4D6.HIGH(3) = [6, 6, 1, 4] = 16
4D6.HIGH(3) = [3, 5, 1, 2] = 10
Good stats! Though that 7 is a killer. Probably put that in Charisma, as that doesn't seem like it would have much application in ToH (though what do I know?). Thinking of doing hill dwarf. Extra Wisdom, extra HP, resistance to poison.

The lack of a rogue(unless I missed one) is making me nervous. I may can the wizard and rogue it up.
