Character Role

Defender Enforcer, Star Lawman
Defenders have the highest defenses in the game andgood close-up offense. They are the party’s front-line combatants; wherever they’re standing, that’s wherethe action is. Defenders have abilities and powers that make it difficult for enemies to move past them or toignore them in battle.
Leader Commander
Leaders inspire, heal, and aid the other characters in an adventuring group. Leaders have good defenses,
but their strength lies in powers that protect their companions and target specific foes for the party to concentrate on. Commander
Striker Agent, Rouge
Strikers specialize in dealing high amounts of damage
to a single target at a time. They have the most concentrated
offense of any character in the game. Strikers rely on superior mobility and trickery to move around tough foes and single out the enemy they want to attack. Explorer, Spacer
Support SciSpec, TechEx
Skilled experts in the scient

Each character class specializes in one of four basic functions in combat: control and area offense, defense, healing and support, and focused offense. The roles embodied by these functions are controller,

defender, leader, and striker. The classic adventuring party includes one character of each role: TechEx, Enforcer, Medic, and Agent. (WIP)

Character roles identify which classes can stand in for each other. For example, if you don’t have a medic in your party, a commander serves just as well in the leader role.

Roles also serve as handy tools for building adventuring parties. It’s a good idea to cover each role with at least one character. If you have five or six players in your group, it’s best to double up on defender first, then striker. If you don’t have all the roles covered, that’s okay too—it just means that the characters need to compensate for the missing function.
