Rate this character out of 10: The Cleric?

By kain7th, in Talisman

Strong 7. Being able to protect herself from injury should not be underestimated. Basically you save all of your fate to save valuable followers or your last life.

Yes, agreed. She's easy underestimate. I avoided her for a long time due to her starting life, but she's actually quite fun to play with and, the 2 or 3 times, she's been performing well over expectation. All in all I agree with a 7.

Seems like most characters are being set at 7...if the average character is 5,5 cleric is a 4 imo. Decent stats but the abilities while useful are underwhelming

Since these keep popping up I went through the current 65 Characters and rated them all on a scale of 1-10 and using half increments. These ratings are assuming all expansions are in play and it is a 4-6 player game. Otherwise the ratings can change a lot.

Like you guys, I thought the cleric was weak until I played her. She's still not my favorite--there's something about starting off with 3 lives (even if it's actually 6 lives)--that makes me nervous. But she's not bad. I give her a 6.

@ nightAmoeba ; fun, very different perception:) about a third we are more or less in agreement, but the casters you have as middling and I as top tier, whereas you have a lot of strength characters like warrior as middling and I as low tier ; assassin we have at opposite ends of the spectrum^^
