Editing Combat Roles (section)

===Outside of 4e===
Both the MMO and 4e nomenclature for roles are sometimes used by /tg/, since the terms are somewhat well defined.

There also exist a few roles that MMOs and 4e don't have names for, notably:

* The '''[[Skill Monkey]]''', who is usually fairly pants in combat, but good at something else that makes him useful.
* The '''[[CoDzilla]]''', who breaks game balance neatly in half with as many self-buffs as will fit.
* The '''[[That guy]]''', who annoys the rest of the group to no end.
* The '''[[Rules lawyer]]''', whose nitpicking over semantics makes the DM break down and cry.

(Admittedly, those last two are more "kick out of the gaming group" roles, but still...)
