So I would have hosted the actual poll over here, but a lack of an edit option for posts prevents me from doing so.
But if I could kindly direct your attention here:

I noticed over in the Elf topic on these boards, DarknessKissed already has three tiers in mind for the starting characters. Thats EXACTLY the kind of data I want to compile together to get a universal (these are the best/these are the worst) characters in Talisman. More of my reasoning explained in the BGG topic I linked to above.
Thanks to anybody that checks it out!
