Basic Know How
The Priest - Revives fallen party members, cures ailments (Ex. Poison), and can save your game.
Return Squares - The Return spell can teleport you back to any Return Square that you have previously walked over. The Wing of Wyvern item on the other hand only returns you back to the most recent Return Square you have walked over.
Scrolls - Most spells/abilites are leanred automatically at leveling up which is dependant upon your class. Some spells must be found as Scrolls and are not dependant upon your level, but still your class.
Party Position
Position in a party places a key role in who is most likely to be physically attacked first. It is safer to place a Hero class or other defensive class up front and leave the back slots for magic users and healers. The party position can be changed from the Main Menu under Tactics. Also the person in the first slot is the person that is visible when walking around, and the people you run across may treat you diffently depending upon who is in the first slot. To give an example, Mentors for Class changes will only talk to the person in the first slot. See below for more details on class change.
Classes
Class change only exists in DWR III with the exception of the Cleric (Princess Gwaelin) in DWR II using the Book of Satori to turn into a Sage. Each person in DWR III starts with in a Class but it can be changed, by finding a Mentor and asking them to change class. Advanced Classes like the ones below that are blue can only be changed into after you have leveled up to a certain level in two basic class(ones in white). Each Advanced class Mentor is looking specifically for two basic classes leveled. To give an example the Sage Mentor will not change you into a Sage unless you have mastered the Cleric and Wizard class first. Check your status screen to determine which classes you have mastered. Basic classes can be just as powerful as advanced classes if played correctly.
Hero - Can not change class, but is perhaps the most rounded and arguably best class in the Trilogy. You will start out as a Hero in all three games.
Warrior - Can equip nearly the best armor and weapons. Good with defense. (Best to place this person up front or behind the Hero.) Clearge from DWR I is a Warrior.

Lich - Can equip basic cloth armor, and limited weapons, but have access to Necro spells which are Black magic spells with ailment twists.
