Skills in the game

What's so bad about Gundula? She has slightly fewer attack points, but a huge advantage over Craig in the form of being able to learn Water magic...

Gundula is worse because she starts with Wisdom, which is useless in the first week and provides a smaller bonus to combat stats up to level 10, which is very important. Also, Craig Hack, like any Barbarian, excels with a ballista (if available).

Tazar (and even Mephala and Nella) strongly doubt this :D.

A battle between Craig Hack and Tazar is the same as two ordinary heroes without specializations fighting each other.
