❤ Character Creation and Party Dynamics

Players forge a team of 6-7 adventurers, choosing from warriors wielding broadswords, magic users casting devastating spells, rogues hiding in shadows, and bards singing mystical songs. Each character brings unique strengths: a warrior might tank damage, while a wizard unleashes elemental destruction.
