Stratego - not defined but implied captain/leader/strategist Stone - not defined, but implied that it's the big guy/gal Sling - Ranged fighter (guns, bows, whatever) Shiv- Fast fighter (the character in the book dual wields military combat daggers) Each role speaks to a different combat style and/or weapon/offensive choice.

This isn't even the most important part of the book, but the specialized team concept has been locked in my brain for over a decade now. The grand tournament they hold annually involves an elimination style event with teams of 7 members, each of whom must fit a certain role. For various story reasons, the owners/designers of the games are fixated with the number 7. In that book, the main characters (and several of the supporting cast) get pulled into a magical gladitorial type tournament known as the Midnight Games. The entire series of Kate Daniels is worth a read, but I particularly loved the 3rd book 'Magic Strikes'. This is a pure fan boy, passion project of mine but the community often seems on board to help with this kind of thing, and maybe this will be useful to other fans or story tellers. If I'm in the wrong spot, sorry, and please feel free to tell me how to relocate, do it your self, or asks the mods to.

For starters, I legitimately do not know if this should be a conversion, advice, or possibly even product discussion thread, and I have no idea how to make multiple category threads without duplicating. For the sake of not having to retread old ground, I'll attempt to copy and paste, and properly credit the posts from the other thread. On the advice given on the original attempt of this thread, I'm remaking/moving this thread from conversion to advice.
