== The Advantages of Partying ==
For the beginning characters, partying offers an easy way to survive and get experience. However, the main advantage a party has over a single adventurer, is the fact that a single enemy cannot hope to defend against all attacks from two or more opponents. Therefore, a party has much better chances of killing dangerous creatures than the a single character. The enemy must divide its actions between all the members of the party, and therefore the individual damage the characters receive is quite a bit less than if each of the characters fought the enemy alone. Also, the enemy can only attack a certain number of times per combat round, therefore it is not as difficult to defend against them.

Partying also grants you a boost to experience gain.

Finally, because the enemy can only attack members of the front row of the party, unless it can cast spell or has special attacks, the spell-casters and healers are usually fairly safe from the physical damage of the enemy.
