Is it just me, or are the thugs way overpowered in this game? I have the game difficulty set on Easy and I'm throwing everything I've got at these guys, and they're still wiping out my entire party in like ten seconds. They're tougher than the bosses!
I found that a spellcaster with enough barkskin for every party member is a godsend. Also stoneskin is quite helpful. And if need be you can cheese the rest ability by going away from enemies and resting (between battles to heal).
But yeah I had problems on them too when I first played.
Right Speech has four aspects: 1. Not lying, but speaking the truth, 2. Avoiding rude and coarse words, but using gentle speech beneficial to the listener, 3. Not slandering, but promoting friendliness and unity, 4. Avoiding frivolous speech, but saying only what is appropriate and beneficial.
If you're talking about, say, Leldon's Hideout, then you have to be careful about keeping your party together and only fighting a couple of thugs at a time.

the one's when you go to find the informant I had a real problem with my ffirst time around. I find it very effective to bottleneck them in doorways and let your casters go nuts
