Is 20hp the only actual distinction?  Does Smoking Mirror have more than that?  
I'm having so much trouble making a Patala pretender.....  I've always wanted to give them a shake, but really assumed no one else would jump on Jomon.  

  Also my tests show that while I have some pretty neat gear, no combination of my starting items seems to result in a thug that can solo indies.  What a bummer!
