I’ve played both barbarian and bard in early access. Barbarian pretty easily kills just about everything and has some great class specific dialogue but I also love the bard’s high charisma and dialogue options. It’s also fun to feel like you’re coordinating the party on the battlefield as the bard.

After the reveal of the monk, now I want to give that a try. What are y’all leaning towards on your first play through?

As someone pretty new to 5e - I played Solasta, but haven't done any tabletop - I am facing pure analysis paralysis.

Really leaning towards some kind of hybrid caster/fighter just because the variety of spells seems too great to want to go fully martial. Maybe Eldritch Knight or Stabby Warlock.

But then I also like the idea of a Paladin for support, or a Druid for shape shifting, or...

And so on and on it goes. In short, I have no idea.

After playing a lot of Solasta, I'm torn between 2h Paladin, a Land Circle(probably Mountain) Druid, or a Tempest Cleric.

Former because big numbers go brrrt.
The druid because Spike Growth is ridiculously effective in Solasta.
Tempest Cleric because I played one in 5e and the spiritual weapon + Call Lightning(w/channel divinity for pushback trolling) is a ridiculously effective combo
