Editing Combat (section)

== Formation of Parties ==
Each party can have up to nine members, three in each row. Most parties have one or more combat-orientated characters, known as tanks, to soak up damage and make physical attacks against enemies. They make up the front row of most, if not all, parties. All characters not wishing to be attacked directly by the enemy better stay behind the tanks.

The second row is usually reserved for healers, or priests of air, who try to heal the first row and keep the tanks alive. If there is room, archers, throwers and blasters, meaning mages, fill up the second row. Usually they stay in the third row, just to be on the safe side.
