Hey guys, starting a new campaign. We currently have: a fighter (not sure on race, probably dwarf or firbolg), halfling rogue (not sure on subrace), human monk (I think v human, maybe not. ). And then me. I know we need a Spellcaster, and probably with decent charisma and int (the rogue is meant to be oblivious and a bit dumb, the fighter kind, obviously monk has high wis. ). I have little idea on what to make, though a support focused character with at least one damage cantrip is favourable. Please help, thanks in advance

Someone with healing. Charisma is important, but healing is necessary. (Unless you have a DM willing to give you/let you buy lots of potions.) A bard, as others suggest will fit the bill, but there are other options, cleric, Druid, some of the sorcerer subclasses come to mind.
Ok, I'm looking at bard (no idea why, just get an idea it could be good). But what subclass do you guys suggest? Glamour is a good support, as lore can be as well. Any suggestions?

You’ve got a fighty party with Fighter, Monk, and Rogue, so you won’t especially need the extra stabbyness of Swords and Shadows. Shadows does have some support, but not as much as the other subclasses. Eloquence is nice, I’d say that or one of the two you mentioned.
(Unless UA is on the table and then I would totally pick the new Spirits Bard! It looks so cool and it just came out so the timing is serendipities.)
Well, UA is on the table, I'm always open to testing it! (And DM is allowing it). I have just looked, and the low level tales are good, though aren't super supportive (though one does have some healing, another teleportation).

But you could also go Cleric, I was thinking Tempest but other ones are good as well. You buff or debuff with Bless or Bane or other spells. provide some extra damage with Spiritual Weapon or once you get to 5th level stand behind the front line and have Spirit Guardians up to slow and damage foes or heal if needed.
Any time an unfathomably powerful entity sweeps in and offers godlike rewards in return for just a few teensy favors, it’s a scam. Unless it’s me. I’d never lie to you, reader dearest.

You're looking for a support character with Charisma? Definitely go with Bard, and probably College Of Lore.
I think I'm going to go with glamour bard, probably aasimar.A I could see sorc or celestial warlock as working. I'll make a vote on it.
I'm playing an MC glamour bard warlock right now, and I like what I am seeing from the Glamour bard half.

I’ve tried playing the sole support as a Celestial Warlock before, and... it almost worked, at first! Two guilt free Cure Wounds before AND after a short rest, PLUS a pool of d6s, PLUS being an EB Blaster?! Sign me up!!! Then.... as we leveled up, and my slots stagnated at two per short rest... it really taxed the party for me to only be able to heal a couple of them, and not the whole group. I was left feeling like it’s a fine compliment to a group that has a more primary healer, but not really as viable as the sorcerer or bard or cleric alternatives.
Ok guys, I am STILL being Mr indecisive, and I'm thinking whether or not I should be an aasimar glamour bard with magic initiate feat (druid, taking goodberry and don't know cantrips), or dreams druid with I don't know what feat?

What level are you starting at? Also, goodberries aren't really good enough to use an entire feat on, especially since you have other healing both from being a bard and an aasimar. :)
Well, it's better than cure wounds and the such, we start at level 1. I contemplate because both subclasses give temp hp, but one gets it earlier than the other.
It's not even close to being better than cure wounds imo.

Bard. Bards rock.
Bard is the obvious choice. Artificer could also work if your DM allows it. If you want to go a bit different a warlock or paladin could also work.
Someone with healing. Charisma is important, but healing is necessary. (Unless you have a DM willing to give you/let you buy lots of potions.)

Bard.
Or maybe Divine Soul Sorcerer.
But Bard.

I'd go with light cleric or divine sorcerer. I like bards, but not as the only support and spellcasting in a party.

Really? I mean, 10hp that can be shared. Either way, what is your opinion on the thing (recommendations on free level 1 feat as ).

Plus, a daily casting of Goodberry means never having to buy rations again, so matter how long you're away from civilization.
