- Crutch character specifically designed to die early in the campaign.
- Chosen/prophesized hero style character meant to die in the middle of the campaign for drama.
- Replaced by a villain turned party member.
These are all stock JRPG tropes, specifically the latter two being inspired by Chrono Trigger, Crono and Magus respectively. I have been wanting to play these forever, but finding a Tablep Group has been a pain.
