Nature encounters are covered.Cleric Twilight Domain - Eyes of Night is just too good, and they have good utility spells/abilities for exploration.Paladin Oath of Devotion - The Aura of Devotion is an extremely powerful defense.  Not to mention, Sacred Weapon is a big boost to melee.Rogue Thief - Fast Hands, 2nd Story Work, Evasion, Expertise, they have the traps and terrain covered, and do good damage.Lots of healing, and utility with two good damage dealing classes and a Rogue with Expertise in Stealth and Perception.  The Wildfire Druid has some Wizard spells and a nice damage/healing boost with Enhanced Bond.  I really wanted Circle of Shepherd but I feel they do better in long campaigns with lots of roleplaying and time to plan.</blockquote>
