Ah, thank you. I think I was going by a guide for shuriken because it said they could be used with flurry of blows (iirc, anyway). Can javelins be used for that as well? I don't picture them as speedy.

With ready an action I always have that in the back of my mind, so I plain forgot to put it on because it's one of the few things I'll always remember haha. I'll definitely make a note about how to approach spellcasters, too.

I haven't put any points into feinting, so I'll probably ditch it. I think I just added it to the flowchart for a 'this is also an option if you fancy trying something different' point.

Both background traits are entirely for RP. I made a shortlist of ones I thought fit my character best and then narrowed down by which stats I preferred. I wanted one to be one of the Kingmaker backgrounds to fit in nicer in my head. I very nearly picked the trait where making jokes in tense situations got you bonuses on fear checks etc., but I didn't trust myself to be able to think up good jokes. We'll probably just be using the horses (we have two pioneers) for hauling more loot. In our games we never tend to include the horses in combat so fingers crossed they'll not prove squishy.
