Monastic Archer Stance says, "While in this stance, the only Strikes
you can make are those using longbows, shortbows, or bows
with the monk trait. You can use Flurry of Blows with these
bows. You can use your other monk feats or monk abilities
that normally require unarmed attacks with these bows when
attacking within half the first range increment (normally 50
feet for a longbow and 30 feet for a shortbow), so long as the
feat or ability doesn’t require a single, specific Strike."

Does this mean that I can Flurry of Blows by shooting arrows, or does it mean that I use the bow itself as a melee weapon to do melee attacks?

Im thinking its the former rather than the latter since it mentions range increments.

I'm STILL waiting (its been over 2 months) for our first 2E campaign to start, and so I got bored and started building back-up characters. One idea I had, and really like, is that of a Witch that uses an Orc Necksplitter wading into melee combat (after casting Mystic Armor of course).
So I made the character, and in my head it works well but I'm worried that its wishful thinking. I gave her 18 STR and 16 INT and her other scores are unremarkable.

Does this seem like a bad idea? I'm thinking she could take Fighter dedication too which might help.

I'm creating a Champion with the Deity's Domain feat. However, he will only have a 10 Charisma. Can a Champion with +0 attribute modifier still cast spells? I understand that his Spell DC's will be super low but is there any reason that this won't work at all?

I'm new to 2E and am building a character for an upcoming campaign. One of my ideas is a Barbarian with Sneak Attack. But when I read what the Rogue dedication feat grants the character, it seems to me that they never get more than 1d6 Sneak Attack die... am I reading that correctly? If so, what is the use of Sneak Attack that doesn't grow with the character?
