Urgh, the Sorceress keeps getting worse, 0-10 now, with 5 mid-game deaths .

 

 

 Tomas_the_Thief:

Really? Sorceress has been one of our strongest chars, winning 2 out of the 4 games she's been in. While if someone like the thief comes and steal something from you, you can just beat him up and take it back, you don't have that option with her followerstealing ability. And she's one of the few original characters that have been boosted from all the extra cards from expansions, since she used to be able to steal followers, but not the 2 best ones (Unicorn and Maiden). Now there are a lot more interesting followers to steal.

I think she's a great character, and she'll only keep getting better the more expansions they make, I think.

 

 

I was thinking about the Sorcerer these last days...

Her follower stealing ability can be very useful.

She can steal mules and followers such as the collosus, genie etc

i think i have underrate her...

I think even your list shows how Vampiress one-ups the Sorceress (similar abilities, but Vampiress gets more use out of hers and can take any Follower).

A dirty mind is its own reward.

I agree.

With the discarding followers to gain lives and the graveyard healing ability, makes her better than the sorceress.

Vampiress can also take any follower..

i am not so very fond about the Sorceress beguile ability, but with the psychic attack and the follower stealing ability, she should be in the second choice list i think..

But i want to try her out someday...

for the moment, with the sage i have the best winning stats. then dwarf (easiest in the inner region) and Sorceress.

but i remember a grat victory with gladiator  ^___^

anyway, sage is the best IMO.

I'm two steps from salvation, but I'm only taking one. Pardon me.

I do not know mine, but like troll alot.

Unrelated side note = Is that a City of Heroes (MMO) Troll?  If not, they sure copied the image...

Home Rules means only playing with close friends that will tolerate them...

I think the Alchemist, but to be fair I should play hiim first.

Just too many to choose.

Monk is good, as is the Prophetess.

I just tried the Sage, it actually surprised me, looking at adventure cards and spells, then determining where to go by choosing to re-roll movement.......how can you beat that?

He is one of the best (pre-Highland thus far). However, Str 2 means he'll buckle down under a little PvP if need be. Amazon is totally the best at this, early game especially, two dice for movement so better odds of getting to the Sage + can re-do a combat if she loses or stand-offs. Get on the Sage, beat him, beat him some more, he'll die pretty quickly.

A dirty mind is its own reward.

Since the rule in the faq has been changed for the Sage with drawing spel cards at the start of his turn, he became more interesting to play.

I have something against his ( looking at adventure and spell cards) ability..+re-roll move.. ( sounds boring to me..

i have also not try the amazone yet,  due to her artwork, i have decrease her to fourth choice.

It's not fair, but maybe i change this someday..

I also want to try the Ogre Chieftain and necromancer in the future..
