that wasn't exactly my point, but yea basically. A pawn piece lets anyone have potential to grow as themselves, instead of focusing on a sort of role (Rooks seeminly best as defenders, Bishops as casters, Knights as the vanguards, Queens being overall balanced) Pawns are meant to be the meat of a peerage supporting the few specialized members offensively or defensively.
