I'm currently DMingfor a group of players, most of which are in need of help. One of the players and I are trying to point them in the right direction, and I just wanted to see if you guys have any specific advice.
Party consists of (All Level 1 and in order of effectiveness):
Orc Barbarian (Whirling Frenzy & Lion Totem Spirit Variants) - Tripping/AoO
Human Druid - Wants to focus on Wildshaping, currently has Aberration Blood and Greenbound feats
Human Artificer - Wants to use use wands to blast, seems to understand the concept of battlefield control though
Lesser Drow Ranger - Archery-based (this one I'm probably most worried about as he doesn't get the idea that he should be working with the group rather than shooting anything that moves, but no amount of building will help that)
Lesser Aasimar Warlock - still not quite sure what he wants to go for, but likely going into Binder and then Hellfire Warlock eventually
I think everyone should be ok, but I'm a bit worried that maybe the ranger and the warlock will start to lose effectiveness in the long-run.
Everyone just leveled to 2, and I think the barbarian is the only one planning to multiclass at this point (fighter for a couple levels, then likely back to barbarian then crusader). The druid and the artificer both get that they're pretty much stuck in their classes, and we're looking for some long-term options for the ranger and the warlock.
