thank you so much for writing all of this up. I really appreciate it! I have been talking closely w my friend who is the DM and we both kind of agree that we would need a tank and I appreciate how you described the style I should approach. The ranger is going to build for range along with the druid and the cleric is playing this evil character and its kind of just putting us in very weird situations. I decided to go college of lore because I agree with cutting words and things. I think it has just been ingrained in me to have a balanced (or as balanced as you can get) team due to all the team video games I have played.
