At least one AoE, Artillery/Archer, stealth specialist, trap specialist, and social specialist are also optimal. A wilderness specialist and lore specialist are useful, depending on the type of campaign, but by no means mandatory. It really depends on the layout of the other three. Is the dwarf melee or an archer? The cleric can provide healing, but unless Life Domain more healing is useful. Additionally, there are cleric builds for melee (supplemental tank) or for AoE or Artillery that affect the parties makeup. The warlock could be a blade-lock (meaning melee) or the usual Artillery, but either way could be a social specialist or not. I'd suggest looking at what the group is missing and finding a character that can fill the role that you want to play. For specialists, most classes can perform these roles, since they're based on backgrounds (even if some classes work better at them than others).</blockquote>
