So got a friend thats going to start up tyranny of dragons for me and one other friend. Im looking at a artificer battlesmith to help us with another melee char ideally using a 2 handed sword when i hit 3. but im open to idea of race and anything else that might optimize damage more and general advice for the campaign.
What is your team mate playing? That will be able to influence what you need. Battlesmith is kinda like a paladin but nothing like a Barb, so if your teammate is NOT a barb (ie no meat shield), maybe consider sword and board rather than dual wielding. Vuman is good for Battle smith, maybe with Tough feat because youre a party of two. Rock Gnome or High Elf are good too.
Hjalmar Gunderson, Vuman Alchemist Plague Doctor in a HB Campaign, Post Netherese Invasion Cormyr (lvl20 retired) Godfrey, Autognome Butler in Ghosts of Saltmarsh into Spelljammer Grímr Skeggisson, Goliath Rune Knight in Rime of the Frostmaiden DM of two HB campaigns set in the same world.
Then the two of you will have heals and bashing covered across the two of you, but you'll still need to bolster HP/AC in that particular campaign.
Come to think of it, sword and board could still be relevant for you too since youre getting no two handed benefits. Remember to infuse your shield or weapon so you can use it as a spellcasting focus (otherwise youll need a free hand)
