The monk is who you have to go it alone for a time, when the situation calls for it.  They have a good balance of offensive and defensive abilities, and the intuition to know when it's time to return.  When among the rest of the party, this character would most actively stand with the fighter.The next character I'd pick is the eldritch knight, with a nod to the elf fighter/ mage.  The character can supply extra offensive magic, and do well in melee if an enemy gets into the party's midst, defending the wizard if needs be.Then I'd say the barbarian, because heavy extra damage in melee is very often just what the party needs.  The barbarian's resilience and primal knowledge are also great additions to the standard party.</blockquote>
