Anyone who can call on community support is not a weak character.
And anyone with hero points is by definition a potential hero. No player character in Hero Wars is weak and unimportant -- they may not yet have mighty powers, but they are a cut above the ordinary (heck, they already have 3 masteries at the standard campaign level).
