Yep.What elecgraystone seems to be saying, at least in my view, is that his situation is somewhat different; because of the "amnesia" background, he is not really changing his background story but merely adding to it. Adding to the confusion: when he adds to his background story, he plans to also change his mechanical background benefit, likely based on the story that gets added.
Yep, although I was also asking a bigger question when I did. L4W only acknowledges regions in it's rules, so it needed to be asked if we are treating the official backgrounds the same them. If so then the retraining option is available. Since you can pick as many background elements as you want [PHB2 pg#178], this is important since you could have dozens of benefits to pick from that you could swap out at level up without the need for the justification of a new background.The question elecgraystone is asking is more along the lines of whether or not it is ok to add to his background due to the amnesia exception.
LOL and to requote myself, here is what I first asked. Note underlined.renau1g said:Requoted and bolded and made larger just so it's not missed. It seemed like you were looking for a freebie with just changing the background because you weren't digging it.
