 You will notice that there are a lot of free, or very cheap, simple weapons listed as proficiencies in these tables. They aren't meant to replicate the skills of properly trained warriors, but give the NPC a bit of assistance as they do their job.
-===== House Ruled Military Traits =====
+===== Military Roles =====
-Military traits mean commoners can take a very minor military role.  Auxiliaries work in military bases or vessels -  they are trained to support the defence of their site/vessel.  Militia are trained to help defend their town or village and take an active role in chasing away  small predatory animals and scavengers.  The Watch might serve the town or a private employer, and their job is to raise the alarm  (perhaps with an alarm whistle) rather than to deal with an intruder personally.
