Gambler

Strength 2, Craft 4 Alignment: Neutral Start: Tavern

Special Abilities Whenever you roll on a table listed on a card (other than the Crown of Command) or on any board location in the Dungeon, Outer, or Middle Regions, you may choose not to accept the result and roll again. You may only do this once per turn. You may take the Grifter and Gambler Strangers as Followers. Each adds one to your Craft.

Golem

Strength 6, No Craft Alignment: Neutral Start: Graveyard

Special Abilities You may never make a roll based on Craft. If such a roll is required, you must ignore that requirement. You must thus evade any Enemy or Character that wishes to attack you in Psychic Combat. You may never gain Craft or have Spells. You may not use weapons or Magic Objects other than a Talisman. You may not pass through the Mines. You may ignore all Spells except Command. When you fight another Player in combat, they may not use any weapons or Magic Objects.

Healer

Strength 2, Craft 4 Alignment: Good Start: Chapel

Special Abilities You start with 1 Spell. Your starting quota of Lives is 5, not 4. If one of your Followers is killed, you may keep them if you roll a 4 or greater on one die. Whenever you roll for movement, use a six-sided die and halve the result (round up). If you roll a natural 1 for movement, you heal a Life. If you are allowed to roll multiple dice, only the first die rolled counts for this purpose. When encountering other Characters, you may heal one or two Lives for them. You may do this as a part of a trade. You do not need to pay the Medic.

High Priest

+2 Craft Alignment: Any Start: Altar

Special Abilities You retain all Craft, Strength, Lives, Followers, Abilities, etc. from you previous Character. Instead of attacking a Character, you may convert them to the alignment of your choice. When praying at the Temple, roll 1 die and add five to the result. You automatically defeat Spirits in Psychic Combat.

Illusionist

Strength 2, Craft 4 Alignment: Neutral Start: City

Special Abilities You start the game with a Spell. Whenever you fight a Combat or Psychic Combat, after dice are rolled, you may switch your die roll with that of your opponent. You may only do this if both of you rolled dice. When you attack another Character, you may choose to make the Combat Psychic.

Imp

Strength 2, Craft 4 Alignment: Evil Start: Ruins

Special Abilities You begin the game with a Spell. When you encounter another Character, you may teleport them. Move that Character to any other space in the Region, which they must then encounter. You may not use this ability in the Inner Region. Instead of encountering an Enemy or Stranger, you may teleport them to any space in the same Region that is not occupied by a Player. You cannot be moved against your will (as by the Treasure Chamber or Misdirection) unless in the Inner Region. You are immune to the Siren.

Magician

Strength 3, Craft 3 Alignment: Neutral Start: Village

Special Abilities You begin the game with one Spell. Whenever you draw one or more Spells, including at the start of the game, you may draw an additional Spell from the deck. Instead of your normal turn, you may change one point of your Strength into Craft or vice versa. You may never reduce either statistic below 3. You may take the Magician Stranger as a Follower. As your Follower, he adds 1 to your Strength and Craft.

Porter

Strength 5, Craft 2 Alignment: Neutral Start: Tavern

Special Abilities You begin the game with a Horse. You may add 1 to your Strength for each Horse you possess. If the Gamekeeper is your Follower, you may add 1 to your Craft. When using a Horse, you may add up to 2 to your roll for movement. When using a Horse and Cart, you may roll two dice and use either one. Your Mules may carry any number of Objects. When using a Warhorse, you add your Craft (not half of your Craft) to your Strength. The Horse Thief event does not affect your Animals. Animals do not count as objects when determining how much you may carry.

You may view the top card of the Spell deck at any time.

Shapeshifter

Strength 2, Craft 2 Alignment: Neutral Start: Ruins

Special Abilities Whenever you roll for movement, use a six-sided die and halve the result (round up). If you roll a natural 1 for movement, you must change your form. Draw a Character card. You now have that Character's Abilities, base Strength, and base Craft. You keep you alignment, starting space, Shapeshifter abilities, and any gained Strength, Craft, Lives, Spells, experience, Objects, Gold, and Followers. You are immune to the Siren.

Storyteller

Strength 2, Craft 4 Alignment: Good Start: Tavern

Special Abilities Instead of attacking a Character, you may choose to trade stories with them. You must then give them either one Gold or one of your cards you are keeping as experience. You may then take any one of their experience cards or Bags of Gold. When you visit the Castle, you may tell the King a story: discard any one of your experience cards and take that card's Strength or Craft in Gold. You may add one to your roll at the Tavern.

Tax Collector

Strength 2, Craft 4 Alignment: Evil Start: City

Special Abilities Whenever any other Character pays Gold for an Object or Spell, half of that Gold is placed upside-down on their space. When you land on that space, you may take the Gold -- no other player may do so. Instead of attacking a Character, you may take 1 Gold from them. If they have no Gold, you may take a (randomly chosen) Object. When the Taxation event is drawn, you may take half (round down) of the Gold paid. You do not have to pay taxes. You begin the game with 3 Gold.

Unicorn

Strength 4, Craft 4 Alignment: Good Start: Forest

Special Abilities You start with one Spell. You are not affected by the Siren or Poison. You are immune to all curses and diseases. The Hex spell may not be played on your possessions without your permission. You may discard Spells, Objects, and Followers that may not normally be discarded. You may take the Maiden and Unicorn Followers from any character you encounter. You may not use any weapons or Armor. You may not use the Horse or Warhorse.

Werewolf

Strength 4, Craft 2 Alignment: Evil Start: Forest

Special Abilities If you roll a 3 for movement (or a 5 or 6 in the Dungeon), your Strength is doubled and your Craft halved (round down) until the beginning of your next turn. If you are allowed to roll multiple dice, only the first die rolled counts for this purpose. The modifications do not affect Strength and Craft from Objects and Followers. You may take Wolves as Followers. They add their Strength to your total in Combat. If you lose a Combat, they are discarded. Your starting quota of Lives is 5, not 4. You may ignore the Werewolf's Den. You are immune to the Siren.

Witch King

No Strength, Craft 6 Alignment: Evil Start: Graveyard

Special Abilities You must ignore all references to Strength. If such a roll is required, you must ignore that requirement. You must thus evade any Enemy or Character that wishes to attack you in Combat. You may never gain Strength. You may attack other Characters in Psychic Combat. You begin the game with a Spell. If you have no Spells at the start of your turn, you may draw one. You may hold only two Objects. You may not pass through the Crypt or over the Sentinel's bridge. If you reach the Dragon King, you must fight him in Psychic Combat. For this purpose only, the Dragon King has a Craft of 12. You are immune to the Siren.
