A leader is able to direct their allies during any encounter, using their great intuition, meticulous planning and innate strategy, the leader can call out specific actions which their allies will be able to take, the perfectly times shot, strike or even just positioning can change the course of the encounter in their favour. Capable of fighting themselves a leader can use most weapon types and can wear any armour or shield, and can call out their allies actions even while deep in combat.
Leaders form parties to achieve a specific goal, some to seek out riches in the dark places of the world, and some will have been commissioned by authorities or individuals to complete task on their behalf. If a party works well together then they can often continue and seek out more work or start their own adventure, an adventuring party needs at least one leader capable character.
