I am going to introduce D&D (using Pathfinder rules) to my family. Any bits of advice would be appreciated BUT I'm actually looking for an idea for a 5th party member/ DMPC/ NPC to accompany them and sort of guide them through while they learn how to play.
Their starting 1st level characters will be:
Son #1: warforged magus (just enough magic to not be too deadly) with a trait to also let him be the trap master
Son #2: human barbarian
Daughter: Dhampir Inquisitor (she really wants to beat on zombies and vampires. I'm keeping her race a secret right now as a sorcerer type bloodline but think she'll like the reveal later on)
Wife: Elven or half-elf Spell-less Ranger (Bow/Switch- hitter)
I was thinking the DMPC a little race (halfling or gnome, even dwarf) but can't settle on a class. Bard? Sorcerer for more firepower? I was trying to avoid any of them taking a cleric (religious questions...) but also considered if the DMPC could be good as a cleric or druid to fill that need?
Thank you for all suggestions!
