Harsh, but in the ballpark for sure.

5/10 4 fate goes a long way. the abilities are meh but not entirely without impact on game.

3/10

As written he's not very good although high fate and evil is always a good combo.

I give him a 4.

As a side note: We've houseruled him so that he may use his raise ability when he's about to engage in battle OR psycic combat and not to raise the enemy after defeating it. He keeps it as a trophy and can decide to use it later (or exchange it as usual, of course).

That would make him WAYYYYY better lol

That would make him WAYYYYY better lol

Sure does, but still not better than many other characters as he still can only use one at a time and looses a trophy each time.

I gave him a 3. He is not the worst character because he has decent fate but he is certainly bottom 5 in most circles. His abilities sound fun but really do not work out well since he is using his st2 rather than his cr4 to capitalize on his best one... He could be a nuisance in a 6 player game if the other players had certain Characters I guess.

2.

Mostly I can't stand his "pet" ability, which is so weak compared to the minstrel's, the ogre chieftain's, and the necromancer's.

2 instead of a 1 because starting out evil with a lot of fate is always a bonus.
