[QUOTE="DJCupboard, post: 3969288, member: 21995"] I don't think the intention is to have roles have anything to do with out of combat roleplaying. There is nothing wrong (and I don't think the rules will hinder this) with the defender being the "leader" of the party when it comes to social interaction, like getting jobs or representing his group to the queen. He will still be most effective in combat when he stands up front getting whacked, but in his eyes, that's what a leader does, get in the way of the bad guys to protect everyone else. Even if there is a warlord in the party, he might still be able to give out orders. (Think of the new Transformers movie, specifically the dynamic between the guy from Las Vegas [the tv show] and his second in command. Number 2 was clearly a warlord, organizing everything, giving the party plusses to their actions by his coordination of their actions, but he still took orders from the other guy, who was some kind of striker/defender.)
