I don't think class and party composition defines role, I think the player defines that regardless of class he or she chooses. I would find that very hard to do without multiclassing.I've played lots of Fighters and some Clerics but I have never played a Fighter who I would call a damage dealing tank, nor a Cleric who was a healer or any PC that was a healer for that matter.  Don't get me wrong, I have a few healing spells, and if you go down I will probably spend a slot or potion on you to get you back up on your feet, but that is not my "role" per se, nor do I think it should be expected to be someone's role if they choose to play a single-class Cleric.The best damage dealing tank I have played with the 2024 rules it is an Aasimar Ranger/Warlock I am playing right now. Tanking has become my role in that party and I do it far better than anyone else in the party.   I am not saying that you could not build a single class fighter to be better at it, but it would be difficult to do that.  More over, with that group the party tank is usually a single class Cleric played by another player.  In this campaign he went a different way with his PC, so I am doing the tanking.</blockquote>
