so I’m currently playing a campaign where we are basically investigating a reemergence of demons and devils in the world following a massive war with them.
I’m Playing a gloom stalker ranger but really want something else. We are currently level 5 and will be that for a little bit.
Our composition is currently as follows:
Vhuman Champion fighter
protector aasimar war cleric
Dwarf Paladin oath of the ancients
half ork bard of Valor.
And my Vhuman Gloom Stalker ranger.
i was wondering what class and stuff would be good to support and bring something else to the party besides my gloom stalker and be somewhat effective against fiends.
Well your party is pretty balanced. If you want more diversity, you don't have a class that can use blastier spells like fireball. Since wizards are out, that leaves sorcerers and warlocks.
Does the no wizard rules also include Sorcerers and Warlocks? because you could use some ranged spell casters.
Otherwise maybe a ranged rogue since you're already 3-4 up in your face melee characters (depending on the valor bard of course). A rogue would ad another skill monkey and with all them melees you'd have plenty protection and sneak attack oppertunities.
Yeah, looks like your party will need some ranged support. A ranger would be fine for that.
I think your DM's rule of no wizards is a bit odd. Like everyone else I would recommend considering adding a sorcerer or warlock if they are available.
A land druid or a light or tempest cleric would also be a good replacement for a wizard. Lots of good AOE and control there.
But honestly the current composition of your party should work just fine. A good front line with support from the bard and ranger. No reason not to go with what you have.
You might also consider playing a Rogue with the Thief, Arcane Trickster or Mastermind subclass. It's useful to have someone who can disarm traps, gather information by subterfuge, and undermine the villains' plans without them even knowing it.
hi there,

Lastly we have a rule that NO WIZARDS CAN BE USED
Thanks heaps in advance

What has put you off about playing your ranger?

Forge or Light Cleric gives you access to a fun variety of spells. But there isn't anything wrong with your Ranger.
