Darkest Dungeon

[PRC]

Afflictions have a huge effect on other characters as well.  If you have an afflicted hero in your party it will stress out your other characters.

[Scipio]

Paranoid and Hopeless are the worst afflictions. Eff that nonsense. Almost not worth saving the character.

[Solmyr]

My ace group atm is leper (or crusader vs unholy), hellion, highwayman or bounty hunter, and occultist or vestal.

Are the positive/negative traits that you can get after a dungeon run random?

[Martinus]

By the way, does anyone know when "camping" comes into play? Some characters seem to have abilities that can be used while camping - but I have never seen any button or anything that allows characters to camp.

It looks like it at the moment. Would be cool if they changed it in later patches.

It's for medium and long quests, when you automatically get firewood in your inventory and can use it to camp.

Seems to be.

[Scipio]

I get a kick out of the Jester. Appears to be totally nerfed, but in reality is amazing under the right circumstances.

[PRC]

Jester is good, i've found every character has their uses.  The Plague Doctor is my least favourite right now.

[Valmy]

Jester is good, i've found every character has their uses.  The Plague Doctor is my least favourite right now.

I like his (her? Cannot tell) stun bomb and the fact he can cure bleeding and blight.

[Solmyr]

I've got at least one character of every class and I've used them all, each class has useful stuff.

[Grey Fox]

I really like the Hellion.

Did a run with 2 Bounty Hunter, a Hellion & a Plague.

No healing but the destruction was massive.

[Valmy]

The Combo of Helion+Highwayman is pretty fierce with their ability to attack three at a time.  Especially with some damage buffs.
