Ireena in PF2E

REQUEST FOR HELP / FEEDBACK

Hi all! I’m running a Pathfinder 2nd Edition conversion of Curse of Strahd. My players had a ton of fun with the Durst Manor/Death House and have just arrived in the village of Barovia. They’re due to meet Ireena next session, and I’m trying to decide on the best “build” for her.

Following many great pieces of advice in this sub, I want Ireena to be more substantial than the RAW module makes her, but not an infalliable badass. She’ll likely be 1–2 levels behind the party, and hopefully playing more of a supportive role. The PCs already have a cleric and an alchemist, so they don’t need a healer out the gate (but I am planning on having her take an interest in learning medicine, never hurts to have mutiple healers!).

So, my current thought was a largely defensive/support melee build. Ismark likely taught her how to hold her own, but with the assumption he would be nearby to come in and help. Right now I have her built as a fencer swashbuckler, but I’d love to hear other ideas or variations from people who have run a PF2E convert!
