Groo might deserve to be higher. He can, after all, fight entire armies singlehandedly if he's eager for a fray (or if someone calls him a mendicant).
I was a bit uncertain whether to put Kane in tier 3 or 4, but he is immortal and, as seen in Darkness Weaves and Bloodstone, can certainly shake the world when he puts his mind to it.
Moved Croaker down. From what I recall, he was a medic and Annalist, not a particularly great warrior in his own right, although he did lead the Company for a while.
