While the base set characters were more closely matched than some of the later additions, the Monk was clearly the best overall since his fighting power increased with both strength and craft. I can only believe that the addition of trading in craft of killed spirits makes the monk even better.

At least in the original game, about 1/3 of the characters were worthless, about 1/3 were playable, but not exciting, and about 1/3 of them left you feeling like you had a real chance of winning.
If this edition only has 14 character types (as opposed to the hundreds that I remember from the original, with all the expansion sets), the balance feature becomes a LOT more critical!
But, this is only a preview of the game, not a playtest...
