Thanks for your replies everyone, they were interesting to read. I never thought it'd be based on any sort of instinct, in fact i would have figured instinct would tell you there's some bard slinging arrows off to the side and a dragoon jumping on you, but i guess the guy in front would be the focus. Thanks everyone for your insight
