Gift of Reason opens up some interesting Thug options....
But yeah, to echo the previous posters, the best non-unique Thugs for me are:
- Bane Lords,
- Banes,
- Wraith Lords,
- Troll Kings (land or sea!),
- Firbolgs, and
- Tartarians
I've never tried a Black Servant Thug, though it's on my To-Do list for the next game.
