#53816, "Opportunity cost."
Edited on Tue 28-Jan-14 08:38 AM

If you're not going to farm for edges to the point where you have 35 of them, you have to pick and choose what you'd rather have. For me taking Spine was way, way more useful than taking TB because I still got plagued first try against a shaman every time.
Now, I'd probably take it eventually but I had an idea that it was going to cover a gap for me and instead it just precluded me from getting other edges for 5 levels or so.
It also doesn't reduce poison damage like true poison resistance does, again a bit disappointing in that respect.
The way I read the helpfile I assumed I'd have duergar poison/plague resist and getting +15% purely on saves just wasn't worth the amount of edge points it cost me.
