[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 5821667, member: 85555"] From the point of view of your characters there is no limit to the party's final number. They can bring along all the fighters they feel they need plus a cook if they want. My point is the characters bring along all kinds of people with them. I dont think they are striclty thinking in terms of social, exploration and comnat.

You might, for exaple, just have someone who is an idea man. He doesnt directly contribute to combat or social interaction, but he is good at coming up with solutions to problems faced by the party. I dont see that we need roles in the game. Characters just need cool stuff to do in the game.
