additional traits or improved Initiative?

[Xavier319]

I'm not able to fit in both. I'm wondering what is better. Additional traits for reactionary and a bonus to concentration checks for a caster, or improved initiative? no info about the overall build needed. just know that i wont be able to fit both reactionary AND improved Init. and i dont have enough rough for combat casting.

I doubt that if you want a reasonable response...

I'd usually go for Improved Initiative, though it does depend on your class and build. A frontline caster like a battle cleric might have more use for concentration. Additional traits is also quite versatile. A pure caster like a wizard might go for reactionary and magical lineage. A multiclass caster will likely want magical knack. Also, if you already have a high-ish initiative (+5 and above) from your dex or familiar or plan to get a dueling weapon later, improved initivative loses much of its worth.

If you did not take it at creation and you are not sure you want it by now, Improved Initiative is likely not needed.

Blave. Perfect advice. That's really all I needed from ya, thank you. I will have a +5ish init already without it, but i know more is always better. Alright you've given me a lot of food for thought, thanks you two!
