Note: Roles are defaulted to the clan leader (the player) unless manually assigned to other members, thus defaulting role bonuses to the player's relevant skill values.
Key party roles can be assigned to help its members - whether the player, their family members, or their companions - utilize their respective skills. While the player starts the game with all four roles assigned, any party members can only be assigned and fulfill one at a time but will be able to fulfill all roles should the player manually promote them to party leaders.
Scout
Scouting skill will apply to the party, giving a bonus to your parties ability to spot units at greater distances.
Engineer
Will allow the party to build siege engines faster as well as producing siege engines of higher difficulty provided the assigned companion has correct perks unlocked at Engineering skill. (Requires verification)
Quartermaster
Increases the troop size cap based on Steward level.
Surgeon
Applies healing benefits from Medicine skill to the party.
