[QUOTE="Ringlerun, post: 5731714, member: 6668496"] About the closest we have ever got to roles in any game is when we chose party formation. Who is going first, second ect. Other than that i find the whole idea of designating characters as tanks, healer, and such completely absurd. I have run games were a mage has been on point the whole time. A few select spells (like stoneskin and blur) and a bag full of wands. Why would the warrior step out in front? I have never read in any sword and sorcery or pure fantasy novel were the main characters are pigeon holed into combat roles. LOL it would be funny tho having a group of adventurers escorting a prince and when it came to combat they push him in front "Come on Prince, up front, your the tank now do your job.. No No we can't do it we're only strikers. Look it's just a little Ogre and some kobolds, just soak some damage while we get rid of the minions first. Hey could you push the ogre closer to those boulders. Thats a good lad" After the carnage of battle and the prince lying half dead in a pool of his own blood the captain of the guard approaches. "See Prince nothing to worry about we're here to protect you" [/QUOTE]
