Hello all! first post here so hope this goes well!
So At the end of Jan I will be entering a campaign at my school that is more focused towards investigation and puzzle solving over combat (combat will still be a part so need to be somewhat helpful in combat) and I am at a loss for what class I want to play.
So far the line up is a gray guard palladin, an inquisitor, a machinesmith (3rd party is allowed) and then a pugilist with the vow of poverty. So at first glance they are missing a spellcaster, but I don't really enjoy playing them too much. I will if it is really needed but I don't like having to deal with all the spells and keeping track of information.
I was leaning towards a doctor or healer of some kind then, we work for this investigation office and I figured I could be on the medical staff but get sent out to the field or something, backstory is pending. I was looking at the vitalist to fulfil this role but it seems like its a complicated for a campaign that isn't going to be too combat heavy. So my other idea was an alchemist, they have plenty of archetypes to change em up so I have options (he would be more, watch your liver at night he might take it, kind of character)
Are there any other options you guys know about that may work? I would like to be a bit of a skill monkey so the vitalist is kinda meh on that part. Sorry for the wall of text! Thanks for your time!
TLDR: Need help picking a doctor class that is very useful outside of combat and that may fulfil the spellcaster role
