Thanks for the Response/Info!!
I was hoping that animate dead didn't give you just one basic skeleton that goes down with one hit.
OK. I will def revisit the Luminous Armor idea...I just like how Shadowheart looks in the magic 'Azure Shadows' dyed armor I got her. Pretty sure LZ is wearing the LA
Trickery also gives her a short length Invisibility ability at level 6; and I've been thinking a level of Rogue fits her well in my campaign anyway.
3 levels of Rogue would give her all those extra bonus options & an extra bonus action so she can move further thru the battle with her Guardians out...
I love the Tempest Domain spells & abilities. Planning to give Karlach a level of Tempest Cleric for MOAR Healing and the auto retaliation...fits her fight vs the cambions; Thunder is the only damage they aren't resistant to.
