[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 7918940, member: 6795602"] BattleMaster Fighter is your traditional DPR option - PAM + GWM + Precision/Trip is really nice. I'd lean toward variant human here. Combo loses a lot when you sacrifice accuracy so the lvl 1 bonus feat is amazing. Paladin is good DPR option with additional support. The nice thing with the Paladin is that GWM is really not necessary. I would lean toward paladin over fighter. I kind of like the bugbear here as it allows you to use the spear as a reach weapon (may find a magic spear long before you find a magic polearm). If DM places magic items for your build then I'd probably go with variant human here. Bugbear Hunter Ranger. Collosus slayer with the extra attacks from PAM and reach on the spear while using a shield make this work. Spells will mostly be support. Lots of pass without trace + goodberries etc. However, I think what I would do with this is go Cleric. I would look for more passive spells like aid and animate dead with a few healing and out of combat spells. When possible prebuff bless. Cast spirit guardians in hard fights. I would go bugbear here for the extra range. I would use a polearm instead of spear and shield (assuming domain chosen allows) - the 15ft range of this character helps provide the animated dead some cover. Forge looks really good for this if you wanted to use a spear. [/QUOTE]
