Hey! Hope you're all doing ok :D
I'm playing RotR with a group of 4 players (me included) and was planning on making a new character.
We only have access to the core rulebook and the APG, so we're very limited about what to play (in the beginning the DM didn't even allow the APG.)
Our current team is composed of :
-Rogue (very bad in combat, but can do a lot out-of-combat)
-Inquisitor (pure damage, former cleric)
-Ranger (no companion but gives nice bonuses)
-Druid (me)
I'm playing a druid with an animal companion (Ape). the Ape is carrying every encounter, we avoided 7 TPK only thanks to his presence, and we didn't finish the second chapter yet. At the same time, i've been forced into the healer/support role for the group, and god i hate that role. And my team is being demoralized by the fact that no matter what they're trying to do, a monkey alone is stronger alone than they're together.
I was first planning on making a "tag-team" summoner, but seeing how much this campaign seems to love diseases, poisons and curses, i'm having second thought.
No matter what we do, we can't get any money. (like, really, we're as wealthy as a lvl 3 PC, but we're lvl 7 and not far from lvl 8) That means relying on wands/scrolls/potions is going to be really hard.
Is rerolling as a summoner a bad idea? If so, what are my alternatives?
