First time playing the game, checked the build guides, and found an interesting one to try, a badbard

Now, it states the path is
1 bard - evil, nonlawful. Natural Leader Background
Take Luck of Heroes and Power Attack feats.
2 fighter - Cleave feat. Gains wpn/armor feats free
3 bard - wpn focus: whatever


Now, I create the character, and I get to pick Natural Leader.... but there's NO choice on picking Luck of Heroes. Or Power Attack. The tutorial starts, and I win 2 contests and investigate a pig... and I get to level again.

I choose Bard, and I get a bunch of options: no luck of heroes. no power attack
I try fighter instead, and get less options, but again: no luck of heroes. no power attack

What am I missing here? How and when can you choose Luck of Heroes and Power Attack? Can't find anything on the site, and the manual just says it's a 'background trait feat" but nothing on when you get to choose it. And 'tutorial' doesn't appear anywhere in the manual.

When you first build a character you get to choose a background - "Natural Leader" is one of the worse as you get -1 on all your saves as a penalty. I'd NEVER take that background.

You probably missed getting to choose your 1st level feats, because you didn't hit the "customize" button, and went with one of the pre-configured bard "packages" after you set your abilities. This is a common issue for new players.

So you got whatever feats were automatically chosen in your bard package, Luck of Heroes is only available at first level so you missed your chance. Power Attack requires 13 Strength. Do you have 13 Strength?

The problem following a guide without understanding is that you really have to follow it exactly or you start blocking things off.
Thanks much! I hit 'customize', and thought "well, it's same abilities as before, so that didn't work", but filled them out anyway, and lo and behold: on the next page I was given on the chances to set the things I wanted.
