Overview
The disposable hero is a gameplay convention where maintaining the main character's health is not a requirement to win a fight. This is in contrast to titles in which the game ends if the protagonist is defeated. A disposable hero is of strategic significance in that it eliminates the necessity to keep the party leader alive at all costs.
