I would like to see more "basic" characters that could represent inhabitants in the Talisman world, that like to do a run for the crown of command.

basic characters like "The Wizard", "The elf", "The priest" like from the basic game.

Here is my list:

Barbarian
I understand that this one might be obsolete now, with Dragon hunter, highlander and such. But it's an iconic fantasy-class and should be represented.
Starting in the crags, some berserker-hit hard ability. no armor, no spells.

Blacksmith
Another one of the board-characters come to life (like alchemist and warlock). Start in Village. Can create and/or enhance weapons and armors.

Farmer
Many classic tales have the little farmboy solve the quest, marry the princess and become the new king. Some ability that strengthens him in the fields. Maybe starting with mule or cart, or some way to easier/cheaper get items from the stables deck.

Halfling
Classic fantasy-race. Sling-attack. +1 at tavern, might avoid enemies in hills. maybe some Hobbit-ability to avoid dragons or sneak past sentinels and other guardians.

Healer
Board character from the village. Can heal self and save followers. if healing other players: gaining fate or quest-rewards (a bit like chivalric knight). Maybe even turn the ability around, that the healer HAVE to heal another character that land on her, and gives her a gold (no fate/quest-reward gained then).

Nomad
Start in the oasis. desert-warrior. Don't lose life in desert. Start with riding horse.

Orc
Saw it has been mentioned a couple of times before. It's a must, in a fantasy-game. Some wild-fighting skills. Ability to tame or somehow use animals to increase combat-stats?

Satyr
Starts in forest. Can use panpipes to enthrall foes. Good character with psychic combat (finally). Might be a bit close to the minstrel.

Skeleton
Another evil graveyard creature. Classic "naked" Harryhausen skeleton with scimitar and round shield. Built in armor (representing it's might be harder to hurt something that don't bleed or feel pain). But special rules for healing. Wont work a doctor or healer. Spend fate to heal?

Soldier
A normal common human soldier. Chainmail, pointy helmet and spear. Start in castle or city. Start with sword and shield. May get new ones for free if lost. Some strategic combat-ability.

 I'm still waiting for a few characters...

I want to see a Ninja of some sort, just because I'm pretty sure FFG will create a neat ability for it. And ninja's are cool.

I'd like to see a barbarian, just because that's a sterotypical fantasy character

I'd like to see a "true" death knight-like character. They got close with the dreadknight, but I feel like somethings off. Unlike the dreadknight I want him to be strength based and be simaler to the knight, but not TO simalar. simaler as in he can add 1 to his score when he prays at the graveyard, but different where he doesn't have starting equipment (maybe a sheild or something) and has a very different ability, maybe involving other evil characters or his followers.

I think we should get more enemy characters, like the Ogre cheiftan and minotaur. Wraiths, a skeleton...I think a golem would be awesome to. he has built in armor, but has lower life or something?

 maybe a character that has armour saves wthout acutally wearing armour and if u r it will improve the armour i personally would love to see somethin like a gunsmith like weaker middle age guns highly inacurate with some way of  showing it slow reload but if it hits it hits hard like +3 strength must roll a die to see it hits

Sofia Vergara... yes definitely Sofia Vergara, she's crafty!

Wow, what a beauiful pair of **** mmmm, earings!

Ell.

The old Skaven character.

It would be great if FFG will make a Harlequin character

 I'd definitely like to see more "non-human" characters like the Minotaur and the Ogre Chieftain. Something like an Undead Knight, Cyclops, Golem, etc…

Just a quick sample of the Whirling Dervish:

Looks great so far Ell, cant wait to see the end designs

I'd like to see more female monstrous characters, like a hag or a gorgon.
