[QUOTE="painted_klown, post: 6640869, member: 6785485"] Hello all, Been a while since I posted, but back again now. :) Anyway, on to my question that was actually spurred by another thread + last nights gaming session. Essentially, what I want to know is, if there really is a class that is the theoretical "jack of all trades". I am asking because in one game that I am in, players are constantly dying, coming to the games sporadically, or we even have had people come sit in on a random session here and there (mostly GFs of the regulars). For the most part, players do not have a backup character rolled up and ready to play, and if they go down early in the session, then they are left with nothing to do for the remainder of the night. Also, players come and go regularly at that game, so they don't want to (or know how to) spend the time rolling something up to play for only a single session. What this led to (in last nights session) is a party without any healers, nor any offensive magic users. We had a tough night of gaming last night because of this. So, my thought is to roll up a backup character (or a few) that can be easily dropped into any party, no matter what classes were already in it. One that can sort of be that "jack of all trades" to avoid a similar situation in the future. What say you? Does any class really fall under this type of banner? [/QUOTE]
