[QUOTE="Kithas, post: 6788080, member: 97587"] Before I throw my hat in the ring I have some questions. What season are you using? What books do you have access to? I'm not super familiar with AL so I don't want to suggest something that won't help. If you have access to the Scag I recommend a mix of Paladin and Cleric with maybe a dash of fighter. Start Hill Dwarf, and prioritize Con->Wis->Str, Start off in Paladin, at lvl 2 go into cleric(nature for shillelagh would remove your need for str, but any domain works) for atleast 3 levels(For the spell Warding Bond), then push to 6 paladin(for the damage stealing ability) Use your heavy armor, get Warcaster, Heavy armor mastery, and defensive Duelist(with a rapier/shortsword, if not nature cleric) if they start focusing on you, and Tough if theyre still hitting your friend. Concentrating on Warding bond means you take half his damage for him, and as a reaction you can take all of it. Which is why you need to be really hard to kill; you're taking the damage for two people basically. You get plenty of spell slots to dump on people with Divine Smite, you can also use your CD to challenge folks. After that you can level up however you want, cleric will give you tons of options whereas paladin will be more martial. Edit; It's interesting that you mention liking summoning spells and hard control spells yet you don't like the cleric spell list. They get hold person and some of the best summoning spells in the game... [/QUOTE]
