Back row

The back row is the rear area of your party in combat. Some character classes do better staying in the back row and thus reducing the amount of damage that they take. Classes such as the Thief and spellcasters like the Mage are recommended to be placed in the back so they can do their damage without incurring as much damage themselves.

Weaponry:
There are a collection of weapons that allow characters such as the Thief to attack from the back row. An example of these kinds of weapons is the Sling.
