Hello everyone,
since my last character in my group just died (rip lvl 2 rogue) I need to make a new character and had the idea to play somewhat of a Warforged that has been built as a protector unit. Since we are lvl 2 I wouldve played a lvl 1 Fighter/lvl 1 Cleric (probably life, maybe order or peace domain). The fighter level is to get the new fighting style that can reduce damage to an ally if within 5 ft. and cleric is just, well, because clerics get a lot of spells that protect other people. But now I wonder where to put my next few lvls (probably only going to play him up to lvl 5 or 6 {if this one survives...^^}).
I thought of Abjuration wizard, but all the low lvl abjuration spells, and the low level abjuration wizard skills only work on myself, and, like I said, I wanted to play a warforged unit that has been built as somewhat of a body guard, meant to protect others.
Of course I also thought of the benefit of going to lvl 4 to pick up sentinel, but since our monk already has it, I dont really want to double dip that.
So I ask you:
How would you build a low level "protector" character? (Preferable one that started with 1/1 fighter/cleric, but of course other ideas are also welcome!)
