Members (players) of a group can bind themselves together to share and even accumulate benefits as a group. Even when the player/character is absent from play, they can contribute to the success of the group. The set of characters all having the same Shared Bond forms a community which gives support, direction, and purpose to their immediate actions. In addition to the Code of Conduct behind the Shared Bond, there is a set of guidelines for dealing with group operations. Additionally, there is an opportunity for the advantages of Group Leadership to be applied when the group is together, and can enhance Team Tactics. The members of the group decide how benefits will be used.
