It has been pointed out to me a Role is linked to a class at creation.
I want to go on record saying clerics or fighters, for example, could work well as defenders or leaders depending on your PC's stat build and other party members choices.
I hope for balance a party needs one of each role, and the players pick thier classes, rather than needing certain classes and being forced into roles.
I say this because in my group (3 out of 6) certain folk IRL have the confidence and conversational skill to almost always 'float to the surface' and become leader/spokesperson regardless of class or race.
Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, I just wanted people to share thier thoughts with me.
