Hey all, about to start an AP in a couple weeks, and I'm bouncing between a few ideas. I love the utility and added fun of an animal companion a lot, but this particular AP seems to be perfect for the Gray Paladin's theme and setup.
Any thoughts on people who have played these archetypes or the AP itself? My team seems to have the skill-monkey, divine casting, and healing already set. What we need are melee classes who can stand on the front line.
However, I don't want to be completely bored/cutoff from all the non-combat portions of the AP, of which I hear there are more than average. I'm pretty open to a lot of ideas, themes, races, and archetypes. Mostly I just need a frontline melee fighter who, preferabbly, isn't useless outside of combat and can do more than just standard attack/full attack every round.
Thanks in advance.
