Used Mark of Warding Dwarf because it’s a fun concept and grants access to Armor of Agythis.  [URL unfurl="true"]https://ddb.ac/characters/58078074/M6fbnO[/URL]20 AC, 83 HP, solid defensive spells, a defensive pet, and Mind Sharpener Half-Plate means she can cast Aura of Vitality or Haste or Heroism or Branding Smite and won’t lose Concentration. Sentinel is especially good because the you can block better than most by having a pet that can just dodge and protect you or someone else, and if someone attacks it you do a whack. Also, you have lightning lure and Booming Blade to help stick someone to your side.   Slightly lower Int is offset by +1 from Radiant Weapon, but you could use Tashas to move the +2 to Int if you don’t like that.  Definitely a different tank from Byron the Battlemaster, but I’m not sure she’s less good. Some self healing, can turn on bonus action healing, can use Branding Smite for offense to make herself a good target.  Level 12 might take Fey Touched for +1 Int and Compelled Duel.  I think I’ll build an oddball Paladin, and Barbarian, next, for further comparison. Later in the week I might do the same for skirmisher builds, and blaster builds.</blockquote>
