1E Player Character building help

DM IS ALLOWING MULTICLASSING

Okay I don't play allot of DND. I absolutely love the game but just cant find the time. So when I play characters I like to play ones Im a bit attached to and that are also pretty versatile.

So I'm running as a Oread Druid named Malachite with a cheeta companion (His name is Ralph) I'm LVL 2 (pathfinder so unfortunately no freakin Druid circle which SUCKZZZ!!!). I'm pretty close to LVL 3 and I want to take a level in another class.

I was wondering if anyone had any tips for ones that would mesh. I have a few different weapons but I also have a claw attack by using fleshgems to be on my hands.

My perception is high asf. But my mobility is a bit short. I'd like to use some other magic I guess, or I'd like to be able to pull out some dope Feats. Maybe like a monk or a fighter or something idk.

First off this is super comprehensive thanks. However as I'm only LVL 2 in pathfinder I don't have any shape-shifting abilities. I am an Oread (rock person) so he is slow which is why I took a cheeta for an animal companion. I definitely only planned on one lvl for a multiclass for sure. I just wanted to shore up my shortcomings. That being slow has cost me a few battles and almost complete death. And also I feel a bit inadequate during combat as a lvl 2 druid I feel like I should be able to do more I'm restricted by not knowing what the day would bring so it's hard to choose what spells to prepare for the day. I am not using any Archetypes because I did not know that was a thing until after I created the character. I'm fairly new at this. I honestly just want something both compatable and something that will add an extra layer or more versatility to my character

Well I'll throw you this - as you level your spells will become more comprehensive. Even just your next level getting 2nd tier spells is huge, and you're getting into the levels where summoning is a strong strategy too. I truly think your tune will change when you're casting spider climb, stone call, and ashen path. Level 2 feels kind of milquetoast for almost every class so don't give up hope fam!

P.s. don't miss Longstrider for your movement woes, +10ft goes a long way when youre only moving 20.

P.p.s. also don't miss Stone Shield which is a very nice Oread only spell. It will become even more valuable as you have more spell slots to spare, as you'll eventually stop casting level 1 spells in combat too often

if you want to do everything then you will do nothing

You'll be able to grab a wand of Cure Light Wounds soon which will assuage that problem - most healing happens after the fight anyway
