[QUOTE="Al2O3, post: 7695395, member: 6802284"] While Warlock obviously works well with the Haunted One (in particular the non-fey patrons) I could also easily see a Vengeance Paladin for some of the events (some monster killed those I care about etc) or a Cleric (I look to the gods to help me with what I can't do alone). The favoured enemy part of Ranger could also be interesting to mix with Haunted one. Wizard could possibly work well too (necromancer who looked too deep in the wrong direction). Those are the classes I can think of that would work particularly well with the Haunted One background. Otherwise the "whatever the class, I can have this problem I try to run from" could obviously be a nice touch as well. Edit to add: I just noticed that not only does the background as previewed only give half the proficiencies of other backgrounds as noted before, but in contrast to all other backgrounds I can think of it does not grant clothes or pocket money in the starting equipment. Is there any chance this preview is a less final version than it looks (because the layout etc looks very finished and ready for print to my eyes)? [/QUOTE]
