[MENTION=6748898]ad_hoc[/MENTION]: How do you keep finding these things? I've been looking and looking and refreshing and refreshing. Still nothing!
Could be worse; they could have spent space on feats.
It disappoints me that they spent page space to new backgrounds, just come up with your own they are the very easiest thing to make yourself.
Building backgrounds is very simple.
Waste of printed space ... Use it for subclasses
Sure. But the Urban Bounty Hunter isn't giving us a new example. It's just a tweaked version of the Criminal's feature.
Granted, not everyone wants to create new backgrounds, but it's far harder to create subclasses, and I'd rather the pages spent there.
Rules are pretty explicit in mechanic wise how to create a new backround: fluff wise, well isn't that why we play this silly game?
As a fellow cruncher, I could have told you all the pages on Backgrounds were wasted as soon as the TOC hit.
You're welcome.
I would rather they spend (not waste) on more options for my table AKA FEATS
