Current Events > What would be a good 4th member for this 5E party?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Half Orc Rogue (built to be a more tanky frontliner)

Half Elf Warlock (ranged DPS blaster)

Human Druid (frontline healer/ secondary tank)

Hmm, probably Wizard.

What are the subclasses?

It's for Solasta, so they are. Hoodlum, Fiendpact and Circle of Balance.

You'll probably want some type of battlefield control. Maybe a conjuration wizard?

If you do go Wizard the Shock Arcanist is fun. The free upcasting for spells is nice in combat: extra magic missiles to ensure specific targets die, extra scorching rays to help break enemy spell concentration, etc. You can still pack the usual battlefield controls spells too.

Is Solasta pretty good? Was gonna play it but went with Mount and Blade 2 instead

Well, visually it isn't going to impress. What it does offer is the most faithful rendition of the 5e tabletop rules you'll find in a game, plus support for modders to do their own campaigns. Some of the subclasses the devs came up with, since they only had an SRD license, are fun and could be played on tabletop. Some of the classes were added in via DLC: they were Kickstarter milestones IIRC.

Sadly I don't think it'll get the kind of support that Neverwinter had back in the day. WotC/Hasbro being hyper-greedy bastards that ruined the image of D&D doesn't help either.
