"Todarr = pincushion" (true) vs. "encounters were too easy; prepare for them to be tougher" .......... <gulp>
Heh - don't worry too much. The encounters in Part One were actually a little above level 2 on average, but I played them a little 'dumb' tactically. I think I'm just going to be a little bit meaner.

In fact, I might retrain Tactical Assault with Toughness, because my fighting style (frontline) couldn't change without redesigning the whole character.
Solid choice, IMO. Five extra hps (and the added hp to your surge value) is probably going to matter more often than an occasional damage boost.
