@Fruian: wow that sounds pretty good. Right now that an oradin are leading contenders.
@zonugal: no I haven't spent much time with the class. Do you have a link to any favorite guides for it?

I've thought about oradin but I'm worried how it would jive with being halfling, or just small in general. Is that a problem?

I don't "get" the evangelist cleric. Like mechanically. What's it's action economy supposed to be?

@carl: that or oracle was first thought since I'm playing a +cha race, but neither of them are very fighty without a str or feat investment.
@Cornelius: I don't really want to do range, as I want to be in the thick of it with touch heals and aid another/bodyguard anyway. Unfortunately I don't think I would have the wisdom for druid or ranger.
@mark: I don't really want to double up with classes, but I like some ideas in your first build. Can't do the spot healer with cavalier either. Then he could be my squire! Thanks for the second build, but as I said ranged isn't really the direction I want to go.
@selvaxri: seems interesting, but again ranged or heavy str investment.
Edit: I guess what I'm looking for specifically is a dex-based reach healer. Thanks for the inputs guys! Keep it coming!

So soon we will be starting a RotRL remake of which I'll be playing in (I GM'd the old one a long time ago so I'm fairly familiar with it), and we like to do themed parties (currently also playing through MM with a Cap, Thor, Hawkeye, Dr. Strange, Antman Avengers group). The new party looks like "stunties on a giant hunt" so I'm looking at the small races plus dwarves.

One of the other players is want g to do a halfling cavalier, so I want to build a support character brother to back him up. 20 pt buy, something with reach to stand behind him, be a little fighty, and spot heal him when necessary. I like the bodyguard tree but it's fairly feat intensive. What would be the best class/archetype combo for this?

Help me Obi-wan Kenobi, my search fu is weak. Thanks!

Well if the Dad is EVIL, then the laws of narrative tropes suggest the mom should be good or a switch-hitter

High five for double entendre action!

If you can get away with it, your DM is lacking skills required to make your game fun

People like this and the ones saying "this would never work" really need to open a history book. Hitler did this exact thing without magic, just a silver tongue and a likeable personality.

Reading over the Player's Guide it is likely I will have the same problem with Witch that I will with Magus, as most hexes won't work either.

The rest of the group is looking like Undead Lord Cleric, some type of rogue/bard/skill type for traps, and two undecided (although one of those is likely to do a high HP heavy). Can you get by in this one without arcane support? It seems like doubling up on divine casters, like Warpriest or Inquisitor, would be the way to go.

Another question; Is Diplomacy important throughout the adventure path? Running RoW there was multiple encounters in each book where the party could talk themselves out of (or into) combat. In WotR the only time you needed it was when babysitting NPCs, so you could delegate that role to just one person as a face. Is this an AP where tanking Charisma is okay or no?

So here soon we will wrap up book 3 of RoW that I am running (have a lot for the obits thread, hovering around 10 PC deaths!), and I'll get to play in a MM campaign.

My initial idea was a debuffing rimed-frostbite hexcrafter Magus. But the more I thought about it a character that deals non-lethal damage and focuses on statuses undead are immune to may not work in a campaign likely focusing on undead.

Without revealing too much, can you vets tell me if this build would do okay in this AP or are there a lot of undead and he wouldn't get to shine? My backup is regular witch, so a similar role.

Thanks for any input!
