So here's the thing...
I'm looking to start the Crypt of the Everflame pathfinder module with my daughter(aged 7/8) and anyone else I can rope in. We've roleplayed a bit before but this will be her first foray into grown up stuff.
I want to include a GMPC/NPC that can help out occasionally with directions/advice... and so that I can do silly voices.
One idea was for he/she/it to be a melee based character that fights quick, defensively and uses combat maneuvers especially disarm to keep mobs busy whilst doing no actual damage... Or an improvised weapon specialist... or a bard... or something...
Basically I'm looking for a fun, rules and book keeping light, NPC/GMPC to help an inexperienced player, not a face or a damage dealer.
I thought it might be fun to throw it out to the experts...
