So I love to play dnd/ pathfinder and the such. I'm trying to get my brother interested but i feel as though i am failing. We do not live near a club or anything (within 20 miles) and play with just the two of us (me being the GM). I have tried doing three campaigns with him now but he seems to grow bored within a few short levels. Even though i added things that he requested he still seems jaded. Both times he's made a new character he has begged me to be a Minotaur or a giant. I hate telling him no because of the fact that they're large creatures and don't really fit in level one dungeons but he insists. Even worse is he seems to laugh at the attempt of any real story line whether it's of my own making or pre-fab. After his complaining and boredom during sessions i am threatening to do an over the top ridiculous campaign that has hardly any story line that is based on a group of monsters such as orcs or goblins.

I want ALL your opinions on a "monster romp" and anything that would catch his attention!

p.s. i'm tired of trying to make story when he isn't


Just a tad bit of back story first. My brother and i are playing the burnt offerings story line by ourselves (i am GM) and we only have one character each. Because we're low on man power, we looking at multi-classing to be able to cover all the needed roles. He plays a ranger and i play a fighter/rogue. You can probably tell that there are no healing classes. So i look at cleric and see an animal domain which has animal companion at 4th level like the ranger.

Now the question: Does a cleric's animal domain companion add the ranger's animal companion and if so does this mean that 2 levels of ranger and 2 levels of cleric animal domain would be the 4 levels need for an animal companion?

P.s. Do you have a suggestion for a class with healing to replace the ranger?

Anything helps!
