Don't worry about the role command too much. It has very little to do with your role. Its important if there is something the imms should know about your char that isn't obvious by looking at them. Something to explain your actions when they seem odd, or could be misinterpreted as bad roleplaying.

1 out of 10 for role importance?! I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and guess that you meant 1 to be most important [n/t] dan 10:02:30 8/14/2000 (14)

        That number is font dependent, by the way. Test it first, kids. (n/t) Proud Blade(VIP) 12:13:24 8/15/2000 (1)
        
        If you open word it starts at 10 so that's what 4-5/8ths is, of course if you're a college student you've been programmed by the desire to write papers quickly to automatically up that number to 12 or 14 and increase the margins :) nt Imbrogno 12:19:06 8/15/2000 (0)

  - Role is to define, well, your ROLE so that immortals know what to expect when watching you, and see if you waver from it. Roleplaying well without a role is hard, roleplaying with one is harder. (n/t) Zepachu 12:04:21 8/14/2000 (0)
Do a forum search for Cyradia or Spheremaker. I believe that they post the best information regarding roles. nt Nivek 10:02:13 8/14/2000 (0)
