Cleaned up formatting, adjusted wording, made a few final adjustments to a few stunts.
Semi-significant changes were made to Scavenger, Actual Priest, The Advantage Of Familiarity, Sneaky Bastard, the Bricoleur tree, and I'm Looking For Mr Brown.
Considered changing Sportsman meaningfully, ultimately decided against it.
Objections welcome.
