Starting a new character with a buddy who is playing a paladin (divine defender most likely).
This may be asking too much -
We want a sort of norse feel and to utilize the "shield wall" teamwork feat. I want my character to rush into the front lines without spending 2 rounds buffing. Can you recommend a good teammate for the paladin? We won't ever know who is at the table with us ahead of time, so we'd like to be self sufficient. We both enjoy playing defensively, but I'm worried that going oracle or battle cleric + divine defender will drag fights out too long. Killing quicker rather than constant healing seems to work better at PFS mods I've played.
Any thoughts for a frontline partner for the Paladin? Is the shield wall feat not worth it? Thanks for any input you have.
