If you were joining a lvl 7 party with:druid, a wizard, and Artificer/rogue.
Would you choose:
Warforged barbarian path of beast
(Beastwars!)
Githyanki eldritch knight
Aarakocra/tortle cleric of the grave
Half sea elf bard, college of swords I'll rein in my bias (tempted to default to Path of the Beast) and go with the githyanki Eldritch Knight, I've been noodling a similar concept and it sounds fun as hell.

But Beast Wars! Ive also never played a barbarian.
But gith eldritch knight fits perfect with their lore, but neutral alignment, Got bored and left.
I don’t make beefy chars often so looking for fun guidance Eldritch Knights are obnoxiously tanky, especially if you're fighting things affected by Protection from Evil, but I mean, heavy armor + shield and the Shield spell is amazing. Plus they can Blade Ward and still attack if they need extra thickness without sacrificing a turn.
