Characters You Have Never Used

Post by Ian Clark »

This is pretty much the same as I posted in the DM forum. Are there any characters you have never used?

For me, it's: Talon, Leta, Necro, Lana, Tula, Sting, Slogar, Gnatu, Mantia, Ven and Dema.

I think that character selection was always a bit more straightforward in CSB because they don't have objects at the start so it was one less thing to consider.

I think I only started a game with the CSB characters once or twice - I vaguely remember possibly picking Buzzzz? I can't remember now - mostly I just take through my team from DM that I'm already used to playing and don't want to abandon ;).

I've always thought that the CSB characters don't appear as interesting as the DM ones because they have no items to start with. In DM, you were often faced with a choice: Zed's torch, Leyla's rope, Wuuf's flask, Sonja's sword and so forth. I think that's what caused me to try out most of the characters back in the day.

Only ever used Plague to complete the dungeon. MAYBE Deth here and there for a test run. Halk Gonzo Barbarian too.

I've not used most of the CSB characters. I tended to play it with my imported DM characters. Something about all those bugs and birds just didn't appeal. Though I did have parties using either of the two hidden champions, Lor and Kazai.
