Party

A Party is a team of adventurers which band together for mutual safety and combat effectiveness. Many adventuring parties are, effectively, small mercenary companies. The word used for a party often depends on genre.

Typical party roles are:

• "Brick"/"Tank" - A character who attracts enemy attention from frailer party members
• "Scrapper" - a character who inflicts high damage in personal combat
• "Blaster" - a character who excels at inflicting damage from range
• "Healer" - a character who protects other party members from harm and heals them when injured.

Other roles exist from party to party, including a "tactician," who controls the field of battle, and a "leader" who directs combat and typically possesses abilities that give extra damage/power to other characters in the party.
