What Sidestepper said.
I'll gladly take him at 2. He gives a ton of piety, a ton of gold, a ton of experience, half the dodge chance of being a rogue, poison for fun and more piety, GETINDARE, and saves exploration because as soon as you get 2 levels of Tiki's Edge you get the same XP bonus for killing something one lvl below you as you do for killing something one lvl above you. And then you can dump leftover piety into dodge/reflex pots or your inevitable conversion to Dracul.
It's like the balanced dagger: why kill something one lvl higher than you for a +2XP bonus when you can wait til you level up, kill it more easily, and get +3XP?
Goblin Tiki Assassins can mop up Vicious token dungeons with ease. (I mean, any goblin assassin can, but the Tiki goblin assassin gets super powers)
