I have had success with Sajan his combat blessing skill is nice letting you recharge instead of discard, use any number of blessings for combat checks and combined with the fact he has 8 blessings in his deck. Also using a d10 dex die in place of his str makes him hit hard. So in solo when you don't need to burn as many blessings off for exploring you can just keep recharging them for combat. It does start to hurt when you lose blessings to achieve non combat checks but he has so many in his deck it's not terrible.
