I still think a Shepherd Druid/Beastmaster Ranger who summons a stupid number of animal companions would be an extremely fun character

and like mixing it with something like Paladin that buffs others, you could build like a little FFX summoner in a way it would be cute as hell

bonus if they have like a strength and dex of 6 and are utterly useless in battle themself

i'm a huge fan of swarmkeeper ranger for the sheer amount of Things you can get

blackwaters : YESSSSS

battle smith artificer only does solo-companion buffs but ancients paladin works well for buffing allies against spells! and there's always the tasha's Summon spells for any kind of full caster

i don't know if u ever saw the Seven on d20 but this has serious erika summoning a platoon of geese vibes

brodie : oh my god I gotta watch that 👀

oh saga YOU WOULD LOVE THE SEVEN

I’m putting on my list immediately after ravening war
