I am a relatively new DM who has been given the option to be a player while one of my players runs his own world for a while. Everyone's decided on the classes they wish to play but myself, who intends to be the balancing factor inasmuch as I am able to within this party.

For reference, it appears that we'll have a Half-Orc Samurai, a Gunslinger, and an Archer Ranger. Being me, I've been trying to figure out how I can bring some much needed balance to the party. To that end, it appears to me that Druid is probably going to be my best bet for support, occasional healing, and overall flexibility to fill roles as needed, but I'm no expert at party composition and was looking for input.

The downside to choosing Druid for me is that it looks like one hell of an intimidating class! Full spellcasting progression, shapeshifting through more forms than I can shake a stick at, extremely expensive if you choose to go for an animal companion... what should I do?

Thanks for your thoughts!
