So I am joining a group playing bonekeep 2 soon and I am wondering what class to play.
The group consist of:
a Sword and board Paladin(sacred shield I think)
Archer paladin
Life oracle
Wizard
Mounted cavalier(He might not be playing)
So I think some kind of melee skirmisher might be nice?
Trapfinder?
Some half caster?(Magus/Warpriest/inquisitor)
I have always wanted to play some kind of battle/bad touch cleric
Or a goliath druid but I am pretty much never play full casters and am a bit on the fence about playing them.
Any suggestions?

I imagine it is for credit. I suppose it could be a home game but it is difficult for people without GM stars to get a hold of the scenario. It isn't generally available.
I would make sure to bring a character who can endure an entire dungeon worth of combat and contribute to each combat meaningfully. You are on a clock to complete these missions after all.

Well, I may have been pretty optimistic by saying it was to play soon. In the foreseeable future might be a little bit better wording, so I have plenty of time to finish up leveling a character that already has a few credits.
Anyways thanks for the advice I think I might look into making some kind of a Investigator. A bad touch cleric sounds fun as well.

A Guided Hand melee/caster Cleric/Monk can combine effective melee with AoE and melee debuffs. Things like High-DC Aura of Doom and Instrument of Agony go perfectly with melee, and many domain powers are great with a Conductive Weapon. A Guided Hand based Martial Artist 1/ Separatist of Hei Feng X with Protean/Deception can be running around with Mirror Image and Aura of Doom, delivering Instrument of Agony and/or Chaos Touch through Conductive 9-ring broadsword flurries - and eventually they get Confusion and Aura of Chaos. The theme of a Cleric/Monk who worships raw protean chaos through a storm-god is... pretty great.

I've done Bonekeep 2 and I was going to mention that our group managed to clear it without any sort of way to disarm magical traps.
But I don't think your group will want to use that many pairs of first aid gloves.
Bring someone with the ability to disarm magical traps.
Our method involved a big dumb barbarian with an awesome Fort save, and a Cleric with the Luck domain. Oh, and we burned quite a few expendables.
We played it at Gencon, last year? The year before?

Yeah, Guided Hand Cleric still takes damage from STR, so some strength from starting points and a belt is still a good idea. With two-handed Power Attack flurry and Divine Favor, it's not really an issue if strength bonus is a few points lower though.

Reach druid?
1. Combat Reflexes
3. Power Attack
5. Natural Spell, because duh.
7. Extend Spell (particularly for greater magic fang
9. Lunge
11. Spell Focus conjuration
13. Augment Summoning
At early levels, use a long spear and summon.
At mid levels, wildshape and summon.
Mix and match levels 7-13.

When I made my post I was THIS close to adding "Our big dumb barbarian didn't really count as a way to disarm traps."
But our barbarian was so big and dumb that he didn't have superstition and couldn't make his saves. But he sure could hit himself in the face!

I'd think strongly about some type of melee that can use some type of reach weapon. Then stand behind your sword and board pally and deal damage that way.
Reasoning for this is because this is a dungeon crawl so most fights start in corridors 5' to 10' wide. So unless you can get everyone into and spread out inside a room, you're going to be stuck fighting in these corridors.
I character concept I've played around building that might work here is a Dwarven Barbarian wielding a Dorn Dergar. You should have lots of health, good saves, good damage, melee flexibility, and a so-so AC (but if you're behind your front line, you don't need to worry so much about the AC). Just have to decide which type of barbarian you would want to run. (Since this is a character concept of mine, I've only changed the build about 5 times so far.) :)
