I'm going to be running a module for my group to fill in some sessions where our DM is unavailable.
It's not a crazy module, but I like to run my bad guys fairly competent. The players are not the biggest optimizers and that's perfectly fine, but with only 3 PC's I'd like to add a DMNPC to the mix to help round out the party and even out the EPL.
Crusader 3/Knight 3
Spirit Shaman 6
Fighter 2/Rogue 4
Obviously they're lacking anything arcane, but my concern is that adding a wizard is going to outshine the party. Obviously buffs and debuffs are likely the way to go with the caster, but spells/day can make that tough to handle if they are having multiple encounters/day (which I encourage).
At 6th level, there really arent prestige classes that are opening up much so I was just curious if anyone had any decent ideas for an arcane type support character that isnt just a Transmuter or Conjurer Wizard.
