Role Definitions?

[Xane Dunestrider]

I've been signing up for games via the Winnipeg Pathfinder Lodge on Warhorn.com, and so far it's been fairly easy to specify 'Sorcerer level 1'.

But now I'm a second level character (Sorcerer 1/Mobile Fighter 1), but that's not an option in the scroll down menu. Only singular classes or roles. These roles include:

Tank
Cavalry
Light Infantry
Archer
Arcane Caster
Artillery
Summoner
Divine Caster
Medic/Support
Rogue
Psionic Manifester
Generalist

Near the top of the menu are also:

Defender
Striker-Melee
Striker-Ranged
Controller
Leader-Tactical
Leader-Healing

What do these roles do, and which one would a combat-oriented Sorcerer/Mobile Fighter fall under?

[Lincoln Hills]

If I were you I'd class myself at Light Infantry or Striker-Melee... of course, that's assuming you're building your character for touch spells and strike-and-fade. For all I know you've loaded up on defensive spells and feats, in which case you might want to claim to be a Defender.

I'd almost want to add Crafter to that list. You sacrifice a bit of battlefield prowess to get some rather nice toys on off days.

[TriOmegaZero]

Pick the class that matches what you do in the game.

If you're at the front line swinging a sword, pick Fighter.

If you're mostly casting spells and swinging your sword when threatened, pick Sorcerer.
