[QUOTE="Lord Mhoram, post: 5809452, member: 4789"] More have a discussion of party roles somewhere in the PH (perhaps an appendix) explaining what they are - making a large point that they are guidelines, not restrictions. Make an even bigger point that these are combat only. Take an example class "Wizard" and explain how one might play that class in each of the different roles. Then discusss the different kinds of roles in party, and examples of what they can do. Then discuss the drawbacks and bonuses of diferent party dynamics with different collection of roles- for of a "1 of each roll" party, For an All Striker party, for a Defender/Controller only party. Never ever hard code this into the rules, but have a good solid discussion of it in a playstyles or "Things you should know before you get into combat" section. So anyone that wants to use roles tightly woven into the game have the info they need, and those that want to never see a formal role in the game again can ignore them. [/QUOTE]
