Over all daunt is not that usefull as a skill, although I agree that sometimes that 5 is what might save you from restarting the whole chapter after making a mistake. I also would like to defend a little bit the pass skill, it really is useful when you are trying to solo the map with some god-like unit so that it can get to the bulk of the army and finish faster than expected or when you are in the part 1 endgame hunting for the thieves or climbing up the stairs.
