A bit late, I realize, but after You's comment I looked into Riding a bit more. Other than Drake, who doesn't have any Riding at all by virtue of /Extra butchering the class skill system, the Rider with the lowest known rank in that skill is St. George, who has B and is explicitly stated to have received a boost to it because he's a Servant that he wouldn't have had in life. Seeing as how Complete Material III says that Rider's class abilities include "high Riding", I think B would be the minimum, and any Rider who would have less than that would have it boosted to B. Of course, there would be exceptions, because there's always exceptions with these things.
Also, now for the Casters, who unlike the Lancers and Archers are not the same basic concept for once.
Class: Caster
Caster of Gold
True Name: Pandora
Master: “Nathan”
Sex: Female
Height: 152 cm
Weight: 40 kg
Alignment: Chaotic Evil (Neutral Good)
Parameters:
STR: E
END: E
AGI: E
MGI: B
LUC: E
NP: EX
Class Skills:
Territory Creation D: The skill to build a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself as a magus. Having had no experience in life with creating a Workshop, the best Pandora can do is fix up her work area to be moderately more conducive to her magecraft.
Item Construction B: The skill to manufacture magical items. Pandora is skilled at making clay pots inside of which she seals curses, which are released when the pot is shattered.
Personal Skills:
Human Observation A+++: The skill to observe and understand people. It is not simply observing but also hypothesizing the livelihoods and preferences, all the way to their life, of people she may not even known the names of. This requires a tremendous memory that does not forget easily. Inherent knowledge of evil allows her to assess the sins of an individual with a glance. This makes her very pessimistic, but also self-deprecating as she blames herself for those sins.
Self-Suggestion A: Suggestion applied to oneself. A skill that raises resistance against mental interference. At A rank "I do not age = Truly stops aging" level of assumption is possible. Pandora blames herself so completely for releasing the world’s evils that she has changed her own alignment.
High-Speed Divine Words C: The power to activate Thaumaturgy without the use of Magic Circuits. The language of the Age of Gods, back when words played a heavy role in spellcasting. As such, it is power long lost by modern magi. Pandora was never an exceptionally skilled magus, despite her nature as a Divine Spirit granting her high potential. High-Thaumaturgy-level Magecraft can be cast at the speed of Five-Line spells, and Magic Resistance of at least A is needed to negate her spells.
Potnia Theron -: The authority of the Earth Mother, which originated 8000 years ago with the goddess of Çatalhöyük. Those born on this earth cannot defy the authority of the Earth Mother. Pandora was once an Earth Mother goddess herself, but her divinity was washed away by the curses when she opened her pithos. As a result, she no longer has access to this skill.
Noble Phantasms:
Καταστροφικές Πνεύμα: Box of All the World’s Evil
Type: Anti-Populace, Anti-Planet
Rank: EX
Range: -
Maximum Targets: -
A hybrid Noble Phantasm descended from Enki, the Sword of the End, but contaminated by curses, thereby having more long-term potential than its predecessor despite the weaker start. It is a flood of curses trapped by Divine Spirits within a box. When opened, the curses flow out no differently than they would from the corrupted Greater Grail, though smaller in scale, with the intent of spreading across the globe. As life forms are consumed, the size of the flood grows proportionally with the curses that have been wished upon them until becoming a black deluge over the planet. The usage of this Noble Phantasm is detrimental to Pandora’s mental state, and while it has been unleashed, only Angra Mainyu/Elpis prevents her guilt from perverting her into an Avenger class Servant. Originally taking the form of an urn, centuries of mistranslations have reshaped it into a miniature coffin. The existence of Angra Mainyu is descended from this Noble Phantasm.
Angra Mainyu/Elpis: All the World’s Hope
Type: Barrier
Rank: EX
Range: 10
Maximum Targets: 50 people
The essence of hope itself which was trapped inside Pandora’s Box along with its myriad curses, and trapped inside after she released them. Normally suffocated by Katastrofikés Pnév̱ma, this Noble Phantasm only becomes active after the box is otherwise emptied. The box at that point ceases being a prison for curses and instead becomes a barrier against them. Regardless of the strength of the curse, all curses are deflected from the area surrounding Angra Mainyu/Elpis. This includes the deluge produced by Katastrofikés Pnév̱ma. The hope also deflects all mental interference. When activated, Pandora opens the box once again to release Hope, which destroys the curses unleashed by Katastrofikés Pnév̱ma. As a result, the box is left empty, and she forfeits both her Noble Phantasms.
Bio
If Angra Mainyu/Elpis is somehow destroyed...
Class: Caster
Caster of Blue
True Name: Hammurabi
Master: “Quincy”
Sex: Male
Height: 191 cm
Weight: 85 kg
Alignment: Lawful Good
Parameters:
STR: D
END: D
AGI: D
MGI: A
LUC: A
NP: A+++
Class Skills:
Territory Creation A-: The skill to build a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself as a magus. Creation of a "Temple", which is superior to a "Workshop", becomes possible. As Hammurabi’s only magic is the ability to create the Code of Hammurabi, his Temple is useless unless placed in a public place.
Item Construction EX: The skill to manufacture magical items. Hammurabi can inscribe any stone of sufficient size to create a Code of Hammurabi.
Personal Skills:
Charisma B: The natural talent to command an army. Increases the ability of allies during group battles. Suitable for a king of a country. It was under the rule of Hammurabi that Babylon first became a superpower, and without his guiding hand it promptly fell apart.
Discernment of the Poor A: Insight to see through the opponent's character and attribute. He will not be deceived by excuses and deceptions from words. This was a blessing given to Hammurabi by the Divine Spirits Anu and Enlil.
Human Observation C: The skill to observe and understand people. It is not simply observing but also hypothesizing the livelihoods and preferences, all the way to their life, of people he may not even known the names of. This requires a tremendous memory that does not forget easily. Hammurabi merely has a talent for such things, which leads him to being a bit pessimistic.
Noble Phantasms:
Code of Hammurabi: My Monument Let Him Not Mar
Type: Anti-World
Rank: EX
Range: 10000
Maximum Targets: -
The code of laws single-handedly responsible for Hammurabi’s place in the Throne of Heroes. Hammurabi may inscribe laws upon any rock provided to him, but they must be large enough to fit an entire law upon them, and they must be presented clearly in a public area for all to see. Laws inscribed with the Code of Hammurabi are imposed by Divine Authority upon all of the Masters and Servants of the Holy Grail War. Hammurabi may inscribe any law he desires, but he follows his moral compass implicitly in doing so, and multiple Command Spells would be required to force him to make laws against his will. This Noble Phantasm’s presence warrants the summoning of a Ruler, who will use their own Command Spells to counteract those of the Master in the case of them demanding a law which goes against the rules of the Holy Grail War. The vocabulary of the laws is archaic, and refers to Servants as “slaves”. Magic Resistance of A rank is able to resist the laws, but not fully deny them; like a Command Spell, they will cause discomfort and fatigue if gone against.

The weapons don't really get stronger, they just become capable of harming Servants at all.
Yeah, I saw that. Your Pandora is the reason mine's box is shaped like a coffin. Since in this case, Avenger is more flavor text for Caster than a distinct Servant, I just kinda went all out with it. Basically the only way to stop the Flood of Deucalion from consuming the entire planet would be to win the Holy Grail and wish for it to be dispelled in the short time you have between her using it and you being engulfed.
Yay!~
Avenger's are good at one thing: either corrupting the Grail or flooding the world with Grail Mud. :3Since in this case, Avenger is more flavor text for Caster than a distinct Servant, I just kinda went all out with it.

Hrm. I never did finish my Avenger Pandora. Or my other idea for her, which is all very conceptual and I have no idea if I could make it work.
I really should finish her up one day. How to make the jar and Elpis work is proving difficult and now I'm jealous because Grail curse mud makes so much sense.
That Code of Hammurabi is ripe for abuse. An immature Master could make him write some very absurd laws. Wacky hijinks will ensue.
"We don't need martyrs right now. We need heroes. A hero would die for his country, but he'd much rather live for it." -Josiah Bartlet
List of Servants I've made
Hence why its presence is grounds for a Ruler to be summoned, to prevent laws like "slaves besides Caster can't not stab themselves to death, if they don't then the punishment is stabbing themselves to death, like, twice as hard".
This next Saber was intended to be used in a Heaven's Feel 1 story, set back in the early 1800s. All of the Servants were going to be relatively low-grade so I wrote her all up, and as soon as I finished I remembered that I'd forgotten the "no Asian servants" thing when selecting my Servants. Not a problem in a non-canon war, but as this was supposed to be the first canon Grail War I was forced to bench her. Kept trying to find new places for her, but she keeps getting replaced by other Servants. So you guys get her instead.
Tomoe Gozen
She Who Is Worth A Thousand Warriors
Class: Saber
Alternate Classes: Lancer, Archer
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Parameters:
Strength: C
Endurance: B
Agility: C+
Mana: D
Luck: D
Class Skills
Riding
The aptitude for riding a vehicle or animal with extraordinary skill.
- B: One's ability to ride a mount or use a vehicle. Saber is able to ride most any animal or vehicle from the normal world, with a minor level of control over lower-rank Phantasmal Beasts.
Magic Resistance
Rejection of magecraft on a level beyond the simple Rejection that can be achieved through high prana sources.
- C: Cancel spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against Magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals.
Personal Skills
Heart of Harmony
The effectiveness of your attacks is not reduced as significantly when fighting those who could adapt or counter them.
- D: Against those with no ability to perceive her attacks in a unique fashion the effectiveness of Saber’s attacks will not decrease with repeated exposure. Even against people who do have unique ways of perceiving her attacks, it takes longer to adapt to Saber’s attacks than it normally would.
Heritage of the River Gods
The divine blood of a river spirit runs in the holder’s veins, providing bonuses when near rivers and other large sources of fresh water. Equivalent to Divinity of one rank lower than this skill.
- C: Saber is the reincarnation of a minor Japanese river goddess. When immersed in a large enough volume of fresh water, Saber’s wounds will heal at an accelerated rate, and her prana will regenerate more rapidly. While near a river or lake she gains a Plus Modifier to her Agility and can transform some of the water into obscuring mists.
Protection from Missiles
An increased defensive capability against projectiles that can be seen, such as arrows or thrown knives. Cannot defend against mass-area effects.
- B: Increased defense against projectiles through prediction of their flight path. As long as the shooter is within her range of sight Saber can track them down by following the trajectories back to their source.
Heshi-kiri
The Forceful Cutter
Type: Anti-Unit
Rank: D
Targets: 1-5
Range: 1-15
Description: The sword used by Saber is a fine katana, known as Heshi-kiri, the Forceful Cutter. By swinging Heshi-kiri five times in quick succession, Saber unleashes a flurry of razor-sharp wind gusts at the enemy, attacking a distance of up to 40 meters away with the wind blades. They have the same strength as if Saber was to actually strike someone with Heshi-kiri itself, simply extending its range and making the attacks hard to dodge due to their invisible nature.
Severed Retainership
The Severing of Onda Moroshige
Type: Anti-Unit
Rank: C (A+)
Targets: 1
Range: 1
Description: Saber is purported to have twisted the head of Onda Moroshige, an enemy samurai, from his body during the Battle of Awazu, shortly after having her retainership severed by her master Yoshinaka. This Noble Phantasm is a representation of that feat, where if she is able to grasp hold of another person’s head she can make a check against their Strength, and if her Strength is greater than theirs then the foe is decapitated. However, if her contract with her Master no longer exists, her rage and sadness fuels her, allowing her to survive for up to 5 minutes with no contract and prompting to a momentary feat of inhuman strength, bringing this Noble Phantasm up to Rank A+ and allowing her to decapitate any caught foe whose Strength is less than A+.

Goezen was best grill in Samurai Deeper Kyo
I don't know what that is, but nice to know.
Its the most shonen of shonen mangas. They had Tomoe Gozen as a zambie in there. She was best
Actually Tokido was probably best-er, but Gozen was still gr8
2 much underboob, clearly a sloot zambi. 2/10 would not awaken from death
