Why would anyone even use feign death?! That seriously has the be the most useless skill there is. So you play dead and the enemy will just stand around waiting. I put one point in and regretted it the rest of the game.
Feign death, drink a magic potion and cast spells. That's how I finished the demo: I entered the orc camp at early level, drank a mana potion and showered them with metheor strikes <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />.
