We are in the middle of a VERY hard fight for my party of l6 in CoS, and we have already lost our sorcerer. I have every suspicion my vengadin5/warlock1 is also about to go in for the long goodnight, as he is on 1hp when we broke off for the night*. So, given I have every expectation of there being at least one more player kill, most likely mine, I'd like some feedback on other possible ideas. I have lots of backup PCs in my mind, but I'm looking for any feedback on what of the following might be the way to go.
1. Kor (from Planeshift: Zendikar) drunken master monk. Would be a lot of fun, she drinks to forget the trauma of the Eldrazi buuuuut we already have a monk (shadow soul), and I don't want to tread on toes.
2. Warforged cleric (using the Deep Magic: Clockwork) 3rd party rules (my DM has approved if I go this way). I have played a warforged before, albeit a knight, and this sounds like a lot of fun - a robopriest who espouses the glories of Primus, may his golden cogs never lock. I even have a name picked out (and it is silly). Downside - we have a dwarven life cleric, and again, don't want to tread on toes.
3. Warforged... something? This is more in keeping with Ravenloft-style mecha - he'd be an abandoned project (when asked, his name is Bort. Because he read it on a diagram of himself**). If my paladin goes down, we don't have any brute force, so maybe a fighter?
4. Dragonborn paladin, oath of conquest (thinking, Lawful Evil). But I just played a paladin, so..
5. UA Eladrin warlock of the fey, heading towards either hexblade or blade pact. This is something we really haven't seen in our party, so it's the most diverse.
6. Planeshift: Dominaria Keldon fighter. Just pure muscle
7. I'm thinking of maybe a fighter/Archer build, but not sure on what race. Maybe tabaxi, for fun? We have a mix of ranged casters
I'm genuinely curious about other people's experiences, or thoughts on these particular builds.
* He's only on that because for his first death save, he nat 20d back to his feet.
** The diagram literally read ABORT PROJECT.
