The Leader’s primary goal is to keep up party morale and lead their allies to safety. Typically, a Leader aids their fellow party members in pushing past harrowing obstacles, keeping spirits high on the road, and resolving tense interactions with other travelers.
Leaders are typically wise and have a strong spirit. They may often do the talking for the party, but can also be a keen strategist who devises plans to tackle challenges the party may face. A calm and level-headed leader can excel at negotiating conversations and labyrinths alike.
