[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 5642742, member: 6669384"] And is Deacon Fryer a healing specialist, or is his personality more of a battle cleric? They are hardly interchangeable. Again, I respectfully disagree. Will Igor's slot be filled by just any fighter? Hardly. He's more than just an axe with legs. His class may determine what general duties he performs, but it's his personality that dictates [I]how[/I] he performs those duties. One fighter might be the "bonzai" type that charges headlong into melee, while another is a steadfast "hold the line" type. Once more I find myself disagreeing with you. If the DM is the writer, then he doesn't need players at all. The characters in a game really [I]are[/I] just whatever personality the actor/player wants to adopt. Yes, they have a function in the story, and that function is that they are the ones writing it, collectively. It has to do with the definition of "role". Is it the job, or the person doing that job?
