Hi everyone,
TL;DR should I pick Unsanctioned knowledge to add some utility to my paladin spells in a party without arcane casters and a druid as the only full divine caster? And if so which class/spells should I choose?
Ok, for the background:
I've recently started playing with a group who had never played D&D or Pathfinder prior to our first session so I decided to create a character that would fill any gap once the others had decided what they were taking.
The GM informed me that the others had picked a Barbarian, Blaster Sorcerer with some crowd control and a Druid devoted to spellcasting so I decided to pick an Oath of Vengeance Paladin focusing on tripping as a second melee character with crowd control, secondary healing and a few buffing spells if needed.
So session 1 starts (at level 1 btw), the Barbarian player is present and has opted for a full Orc with 22 strength and power attack; he's a monster but in a good way.
The druid player has decided to focus on archery but has a decent wisdom score, she's a bit overwhelmed by the spell list but confidence will come with time, I'm sure.
The player who opted for Sorcerer has decided to instead pick a half elf unchained knife master rogue with terrible charisma (so no multiclassing into bard or Sorcerer).
So far we've been able to deal with anything we encounter easily, mainly because of the Orc's crazy strength (he even accidentally killed someone while doing non-lethal damage in one hit) but I'm concerned at the lack of arcane spellcasting and the druid's subpar divine spell list.
My Paladin is an Angel-kin Aasimar so I can pick up non-magical flight later on and I'll have blessing of fervor as a pseudo haste spell, along with powerful justice as an awesome party buff but is this going to be enough?
We're now level 3 so I have picked combat reflexes and improved trip as my feats (my GM let me skip combat expertise) and was planning on picking power attack then greater trip, should I instead pick Unsanctioned Knowledge at 5th or 7th level?
Thanks for any advice.
