Fighter, mage, rouge. What should be the 4th role in an adventuring group?

The only "should" is what works for you and your group.

*Asshole: a stronger and betterer Fighter with additional powers and better armor and cool techniques. But he has to donate 90% of his income to Scientology and has an autistic meltdown if he can’t follow his code.

This one would be more.

Abuse goblin used as a baggage carrier.

One, singular choice of role per character? How unengaging.
I bet there's only one correct choice, too, making the others woefully ineffective.
>>
>>98380895
It's just a generalized generic trio pal, common throughout most systems
>>
>>98380891
Fuck that nick vost guy for making me sympathize with a filthy goblin
Also healer or cumslut. Can bards songs heal? Never played any dnd
>>
>>98380476
What game?
>>
Summoner that can call in distractions
>>
>>98380476
Mascot.
>>
>>98381406
Generic fantasy, anything from dnd and pathfinder to 13th age
>>
DM's faggy stand-in
>>
>>98381576
So no games? Should have guessed from the vidya art.

Kill yourself
>>
>>98381342
I've played a bit of Pathfinder and the bards there get the cure light wounds spell. I don't think their actual bardic performances heal though.

Ranger

Burden of Shitposting Fallacy: when beginning a thread, the burden to either provide a topic or shitpost lies first and foremost on OP, who is usually a faggot. If OP does not provide a topic, OP is both the first shitposter and a faggot.

>>98380476
Another fighter

The amount of regular fighters should always be at minimum the same as all others combined.
>>
>>98380476
>the hobbit
>13 fighters
>1 wizard
>1 rogue

>Lotr
>5 fighters
>2 rangers
>1 wizard
>1 rogue

no other class needed it seems
>>
>>98381663
The fact that you offered a list instead of a specific answer means you had no game in particular in mind, likely because you don't actually play any.
>>
>>98381155
It being common doesn't change how unengaging it is.

What's unenganing about working together with other players and everyone having unique strengths and roles?

Fighting man and magic user is all I need

Commoner/Laborer.

Cleric, paladin, or monk. That party has no moral compass.

Wrong and gay.

"Generic fantasy" isn't a game. WHICH GAME?
>>
>>98382522
Who said that, retard? How did you misinterpret the post so badly?
>>
>>98380476
Cold constructor, fire eater, equipment conjurer, spirit summoner
>>
>>98380476
Strategist.
>>
>>98380476
Squire or “apprentice”, obviously.

A young, inexperienced accomplice to any of these 3 who does most of the menial labor and guards shit while the others are doing truly dangerous things.
It is how professions were naturally passed down for centuries and is both narratively and practically the most sensible 4th man in an expedition.

The only other contestants are
>healer
But a magic user would easily cover this even if the fighter didn’t have some basic knowledge
>diplomat/trader
Though one would argue a magic user or fighter of sufficient renown would be an adequate diplomat and a successful rogue would understandably have a decent notion of value and transaction.

>>98380572
When somebody asks “why/what/how” and your response is “whatever you want”, it’s generally considered to be waste of breath
>>
>>98383491
Not obviously and not correct.

Clown.

>>98383491
Correct, the question is a waste of breath, since the answer is whatever you want to imagine.
>>
>>98381888
Thankfully op did provide a topic.
>>
>>98383105
They listed three anon. You understand you can't just stop reading a post two words in and expect to understand it right? You understand it's completely normal to have discussions on a broad topic, and there's no obligation at all to focus in on a single specific game right?
>>
>>98380476
I like to rip and tear my enemies.
>>
>>98383491
TTRPGs are about making and playing what you want, so asking "should should should" is a waste of time.
>>
>>98383740
You understand that there certainly is such a topic, right? STOP ARGUING. NAME ONE PARTICULAR GAME YOU WANT TO DISCUSS OR LEAVE THE BOARD PERMANENTLY. I'M OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE.
>>
>>98383513
Already covered by Rogue.

Remove rogue. Everyone is a thief already, you're robbing tombs.
>>
>>98383907
I don't want to discuss one particular game. Come in and fuck me already then you saucy devil.
