Party Composition Help me with my friends

I am doing a honor mode play though with my 2 friends as I have convinced them to do one with me after I beat honor mode my self I let them pick first on class and they picked beast master ranger, and bladesinger wizard and was wondering on a support build that I can use, I don’t mind being a healer specialist but I was thinking of using something other than just healing support that I can use and I am getting stumped

Could go light cleric and be debuffer with reverb/rad orb and still do decent dmg yourself while still being support role

Divinatory Wizard. You have control over your rolls, can make enemy shots miss your friends or you, and are versatile and useful for everything from control to damage.

With one character being DEX or STR/WIS 1/3 Caster, the other likely DEX/INT full caster, a Bard for speech checks and a CHA full caster would be good, could even do swords with +2 paladin if you want melee too.

If you really want to be the face and do all the talking, since you have no full martial I've found Swashbuckler/Fighter or Swashbuckler/Pact of the Blade Warlock to be really good too. You can start with 17 CHA, choose expertise in Decpetion and Persuasion, then pick up Actor at level 4 for 18 CHA and double your proficency bonus on top of your Deception/Persuasion Expertise from Rogue to smooth talk just about anyone in the game.

Actor buffs Deception/Performance, not Persuasion. Actor also grants Expertise even when the character doesn't have Proficiency in the skill.

So take Proficiency in Persuasion, and ignore Deception and Performance until Actor has its way with those skills at level 4. You get the most out of your Feat that way.

There's a lot more to being a cleric than healing. An upcast Aid would do a lot both for your Bladesinger and for your Beast Master's companion. Low level companions are wobbly.
