So I was having a discussion with friends on vacation recently, when someone brought up the idea to run a game where everyone plays two characters each, siblings, mates, or best friends most likely, where one is basically their main character, but then they would have the other that is entirely set up to support the main. Now this doesn't mean the support character can't or doesn't do any of the fighting, but just that their main goal for this game is to support the main character as priority with buffs, heals, utility, or however else you wanted to play them.
I wanted to see what other people would do in this scenario?
I look forward to see what combos people might come up with. :)
Hmmm I'm thinking it could be fun to pair a grappling focused fighter with a bard companion that aquired hex through magical secrets, or a feat or warlock multiclass.
Bard supplies inspiration for the grapple check, hex to give disadvantage to the target(has to guess if str checks or dex checks would be better).
Fighter would be human with the racial feat granting expertise to athletics, maybe multiclass barbarian for advantage on str checks.
Cue party laughing when the fighter grapples(restrains if he takes grappler feat) an ancient red dragon BWAHAHAHA
