Oh, crap, forgot to snag the 100th post. Congrats Fox. N'ways, the way it was planned to go about in the old RP was that partnerships could vary, as they were mixed. Could be an offensive and support partner, two supports, or two offensives. Usually pairs would pair up with others to form temporary teams of four. There's no exact order of partner combat types, it's all up to the RPers themselves.
