In my favorite game, the players are a group; normally playing different types of characters. Each character type has it's own strengths and weaknesses, like a fighter, who has a lot of physical strength and hit points, but is no good with things that require high intelligence scores. A mage has high intelligence and charisma, but can't defend against physical attacks.
Now, if you had a party of all one type, their weaknesses would only be greater, the fighters would have no way to heal themselves or get past tricky challenges, the mages would be too busy healing themselves from attack to defeat any strong monsters. It's only when those two types are together that the real strength of the party emerges. The mage can power up the fighter to be stronger than ever and the fighter can cover the mage so his magic is at his most powerful.
[[he gives a warm smile]] Support classes can be just as strong as strength classes, just in different ways. You just need to find that way in which you are strong so you can strengthen those you care about...
