Will my party work? Just starting out

[CzarTyr]

My main is a no subclass monk.

Eder as Swashbuckler

Pella as Paladin/Chanter

Maia as Scout

Druid boi

 

Is that too much melee?  should I drop Eder and add Aloth?  drop Maia for Aloth?

[Boeroer]

You will be fine.

Coming in here after a year away, and Boerer is still going strong.  Good to see you're keeping this sub forum going man! 

[daven]

He will be the last man standing on this forum.

Eder is your tank, it is the more resistant companion you will have, and he hit very hard, when Eder fall, your team will follow him...

Actually Pallegina is a potentially sturdier companion as a Herald - as long as you pick the right abilites (as is always the case).

I've played with my main and Rekke as tanks which have worked fine too. But I suppose it also depends on what difficulty level you are playing at.

Rekke is a sidekick, Eder is our oldest companion, it is a matter of taste but i am not sure you will have interactions with Rekke like you have with Eder (reputation also)..
My character is a wizard, and i play with both Pallegina as Paladin, and Eder as fighter, Seraphen as Cipher is very useful also because it can turn enemies into allies, Wizard Confusion was doing the same in POE but not in Deadfire sadly...

Well, you asked what would work as a tank, you didn't specify anything about interaction. If interaction is a priority, then you should definetely take Edér over Rekke, that is correct.
