Could someone tell me why Wit "isn't" an important stat? Unless you want to give up the initiate totally or ignore secret treasure, you have to invest in wit somehow. Two points in Wit simply save you two points that you can invest in other attributes, in fact human is the most flexible race.
Getting first move means you can focus fire to erase one or two enemies, it's far more important than some damage granted by two attributes.
Eating corpse skills are still limited by the memory your elves have , useful but far from op, imo.
