My friends and I have just recently started a third-party adventure path in which we take on the role of evil characters serving Asmodeus. The party originally consisted of a human slayer (me), a half-drow ninja (ranged combat focus), a tielfling witch, and an oread war priest.
Last session our warpriest player didn't show, and isn't expected to return. My slayer died trying to prevent a TPK early in the session and I temporarily took control of the warpriest because the GM had his character sheet and I didn't want to sit idly while everyone else played.
Here's my dilemma: Our party will remain at three players indefinitely and we have no front line melee character or healer. In the interest of not scrapping the adventure path and starting a new one I want to try and fill both roles with my new character next week.
What's the best class to do this as an evil character? Warpriest? Antipaladin? Cleric? Multi-class?
Should we just load up the witch with wands and I play a melee character?
