A party is a group of characters adventuring together in a roleplaying game . In Tabletop roleplaying game tabletop roleplaying , a party is composed of a group of players, occasionally with the addition of non player character allies sometimes called henchmen controlled by those players or by the gamemaster . In computer games, the relationship between the party and the players varies considerably. Online roleplayinggames or MMORPG parties are often, in the above sense, of the same constituency as tabletop parties, except that the allies are always controlled to a lesser or greater extent by the computer AI. In single player computer games, the player generally controls all party members to a varying degree. Examples of games which have parties include the tabletop RPG Vampire the Requiem , the single player online roleplaying Baldur s Gate series Baldur s Gate series , MMORPGs such as World of Warcraft , Anarchy Online and Warhammer Online , and the multi player computer action RPG Final Fantasy XI .

The core idea of optimization as a play style is that of deriving enjoyment from choosing and benefiting from the game mechanics game mechanical options that best optimize one s character s performance for some specific purpose&mdash most commonly, speed of power or wealth accumulation. Players who primarily enjoy this play style are called optimizers .

About the RPG term more meanings of initiative Initiative disambiguation Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 In role playing games and some table top wargames , a character s initiative is a statistic either derived or not which determines the order in which player characters take actions, especially during combat or other forms of conflict resolution. In most systems, the players who have rolled the highest number go first, in some other systems it is the other way around, with lowest initiative going first. Initiative can be either fixed the same every time, or at least during a whole resolution or battle or can be recalculated at various intervals. Most initiative systems which are not fixed use dice , with the results forming a random element of the initiative result. Added to this random elements are positive and negative modifiers, which are caused by circumstances which make the player character react faster or slower, or are influenced by the length of task that he undertakes. For example, a lithe character one with high dexterity may react faster than others, while someone using a heavy implement or weapon may take longer. Some systems allow only one main action or multiple actions at the same time when the order reaches the point of the character, other systems allow further actions further down the initiative order.
