I think I figured out the problem. Gren told me about how he migrated his stats to that of a marksman. Well, we are diferent races and when I tried to match those stats, I couldn't quite get them right. Long story short, the 2nd and 3rd bar for health, action, and mind were all minimised on the sliders. That ended up making it so that once I got touched, the bar that controlled how fast I would loose pool points was so low it droped almost all the way on the first attack. The bar that controlled how fast I recovered was so low that I never really recovered.
In addition to all that, I think I'm a little behind you guys in exploration experiance, which would allow you guys to get closer without being attaked. I know all about keeping my distance and which creature to attack, it's just that I sometimes forget to look at my radar and I get a little too close to aggresive creatures. That's something I'm working on lol.
