Sooo... an odd question.

I know that we can build all kinds of character types by mixing a chosen hero and the available classes to them. But it's also fairly obvious that many heroes were designed with a specific class in mind (often contained in the same expansion) an example being the necromancer lady in core set, she was clearly designed and intended for that class even though she can be played as others.

So I've not played much descent different characters but I'd like to play them as intended for each ones first play.

So my question is, is there an actual written list anywhere that had each hero and what is intended class was?

Thanks if any info, actually even if no info thanks for reading anyway

If there is a character that has an "intended" class, then it would be a hero and class that both came together in the same box.

Healers:

Disciple: Avric

Spiritspeaker: Ashrian

Apothecary: Ulma

Prophet: Augur

Bard: Rendiel

Scouts:

Thief: Tomble

Wildlander: Jain

Treasure Hunter: Logan

Stalker: Roganna

Shadow Walker: Tinashi

Bounty Hunter: Thaiden

Mages:

Runemaster: Leoric

Necromancer: Tarha

Geomancer: Quellen

Hexer: Dezra

Conjurer: Ravaella

Warriors:

Knight: Syndrael

Berseker: Grisban

Champion: Reynhart

Beastmaster: Durik

Skirmisher: Orkell

Marshal: Alys

Notably, there is absolutely nothing in the rules about these heroes being paired with these classes. It just was FFG's decision to put in each box with a class a hero who had complimentary abilities and characteristics.

The hybrid classes do not have any such associations.

Oh wow that's fantastic info thank you! !

Do you think any other heroes were made with any specific class in mind?

Thanks so much

The heroes from the hero and monster packs actually predate the second edition, so they're not created for a specific class. Part of the fun (in my opinion) of choosing a hero/class combo is looking for new and interesting ways for that hero's stats and abilities to interact with class skills. You can read the little paragraphs about each hero and get a sense for their "thematic" class (Raythen is clearly a treasure hunter or thief, for example) but that won't necessarily be the class they play best as.
