I've never played a turn-based RPG before so I'm completely new to this kind of game. This may sound like a silly question but please be kind.

Is it a good idea to have some party members who use melee attacks and some party members who use ranged attacks? The reason I ask is because if one party member uses a sword for a close in attack won't that person be harmed by the attacks from a person at a distance. Suppose someone uses oil or water or fire to attack an opponent. If you have a party member close to the opponent trying to use a sword you might harm your own party member. Is it better to have your party members all using ranged attacks or all using melee attacks?

You can combine melee and ranged. When targeting a ranged attack, if it will harm a party member, their outline will change color. Try to aim so that their outline doesn’t change.

Having said that, you can also play all melee or all ranged if you’d like.

Have fun!
