Good points, and I'm glad you think they're ready!
I tried not to make them too powerful, but I'm doing it like this:
Barbarian = 3 black for axe/sword (so a battle axe would be 3 black + 1 white, a longsword would be 3 black, a greatsword would be 3 black + 1 white, shortsword would just be 2 black)
Dwarf = 2 black for axe/hammer (battle axe or war hammer would be 2 black + 2 white, for example) ... in 3 more quests he'll be at this level, right now he uses 1 black die
Wizard = 2 black dice (only if using Wizard's Staff)
Elf = white dice, (right now he gets a bonus spell scroll, in 3 more quests he'll get two scrolls)
Now, I will be having them discover the scrolls of battle which will upgrade their abilities again:
-When four of them flank a single enemy, they will each attack that enemy with up to 3 black dice each! (3 heroes, 2 black, 2 heroes, 1 black each).
-If a bunch of them have projectile weapons and are touching squares, they can each attack ranged with 3 black dice (if four heroes), 2 for three heroes, 1 for two heroes.
The only Merc they can use toward this tactic is the Crossbowman.
-Defense wise, if they cluster together and one of them defends, they get 1 green die each for two heroes, 2 for three heroes, or 3 for all four. It works as long as they some type of armor (other than the helmet/chainmail). Mercs that have a shield depicted on their miniature will also be included (so no archers or crossbowmen).
depicted (so no crossbowman or bowmen). For the sake of the Wizard, I include bracers or the Cloak as well.
