He's harder to use in a five-player game, because you get to use Despair abilities so much less often

Seriously though, that looks pretty badass if we end up going 4-1 on genders

At this point you should choose your characters, possibly brainstorming so as to have a balanced team, keeping in mind the following challenges:

Spoiler!
- France's troopers are weak. However, they are slightly cheaper
- Scylla dishes out a bunch of pestilence
- The Styx Legion makes the demons run faster. It does not make the invasion tokens run faster, though. This means that you don't want to reveal invasion tokens willy-nilly
- The starting gifts we happened to draw don't improve dice! But they are also on the cheaper side

it might be best to have one person select a pool they think would make the best team, quibble over that, then choose/assign characters out of that pool.

ill throw a completely ignorant one out there to get us started (feel free to tell me to shut the fuck up). using dougs class list, ive bolded:
Types of Characters

IMO



Tanks

Moose Kowalski (Has 8 health, eventually raises toughness to 4)
Bernice Kuchler (Has 10 health)

Offense

Penrod Wallenstein (Starts with a d10)
Tarang (Gets extra boost when helped, gets extra kills)
Cissy Salem (Can get d10 on her second gift)
John Dark (Turns despair into kills)
Hannah Hazard (Snipes)
Naomi Joslyn (Can move during Team Phase, can have d8 d6 as of her second gift, 1s she rolls become max die face)

Healers

Doc Hunter (Heals extra, can heal even more extra using luck)
Amelia Azevedo (Heals extra by buying gifts, removes pestilence/fire/stun markers)

Support

Cindrew Putorius (Improves gift tableau, raises other's health cap by buying gifts)
Professor Maxwell (Better with troopers, gains extra troopers by buying gifts)
Dorothy Hall (Hands out courage)
Victor Steele (Improves troopers, disseminates troopers by buying gifts)
tried to do the 4-1 gender thing, avoiding characters i couldnt tell what gender they were from their name.

I'm sorry but Moose cannot be used in a five-player game; that's one of his drawbacks
