I really like this idea.

I'm thinking about switching out a few proficiencies for certain backgrounds. What changes did you make to specific PHB backgrounds in your game? What prompted the change? What were the results?

Makes sense to me, and I have that option for ranger-esque experts in my True20 Next writeup.

Loretha "Cookie" Lyon, 1st-level human bard (Lawful Neutral) It was pretty easy to do even without the option of the variant human or feats. This is what I have: Race: Human Class: Bard Background: Criminal Alignment: Lawful neutral Personality traits: 1) Don't let my hood rat demeanor fool...

Frank Castle (The Punisher) Race: Human Class: Ranger 7 (revised) Background: Soldier Alignment: Chaotic Good Personality Traits: 1) I don't believe in half measures. 2) I admire people who got the balls to fight for what they believe in, even if it puts them at odds with me. Ideal: I put down...

Misty Knight Race: Human Class and level: Rogue 2 Background: Soldier Alignment: Lawful Good Personality Traits: 1) My friends know they can rely on me no matter what. 2) I can't stand it when someone has the upper hand over me. Idea: I don't seek justice; I stalk it. Bond: I'm still after that...

Thanks for the tip, but not interested in D20 Modern. I should've mentioned I was specifically looking at D&D.

Matt Murdock (Daredevil) Race: Human Class and level: Rogue 8 Background: Urchin Alignment: Chaotic good Personality traits: 1) I never pay attention to risks. Never tell me the odds. 2) I'm a devout practitioner of my religion, and I feel guilty when I fall short of the mark. Ideal: I will...

Jessica Jones Race: Human Class and level: Barbarian 12 Background: Folk Hero Alignment: Chaotic Good Personality traits: 1) This hero crap isn't all it's cracked up to be, but I can't help but try to help those in need. 2) Protocol? Chain of command? Eat me. Ideal: As much as I hate it, I do...

Luke Cage I pretty much put everyone as a human because there's nothing in the series that makes me see them as another race, though I could be wrong. This is what I have for him as a 12th-level fighter: Race: Human Class and level: Fighter 14 Background: Soldier Alignment: Neutral Good...

I refuse to do Iron Fist because I have . . . issues with the casting. I'll trade you a Misty Knight, however. I think I can do Luke Cage, Daredevil, and Jessica Jones, though. Give me a few, and I'll get back to you.

I wound up making her a bard with the criminal background, and it fit like a glove.

We already know she's human. What class would she be? What would be her background? What would be her ability scores (standard array or 27-point buy)? Which skill proficiencies would she choose? And how would you model proficiency with brooms and baseball bats?

Honestly, I'd suggest taking a page out of FATE Core's book and use the Phase Trio to define how each of the characters know each other. And, if you want to make their drive to get the bad guy stronger, ask them to come up with a reason why they personally have it out for this villain.

It seems that the Sage background in the PHB would be the closest fit. This seems pretty solid as-is. Was there something in particular you wanted?

Interesting. A lot different from what I'm doing at RPGTweaks, but that's not a bad thing.

Working on this now on my blog, although it's a heavily streamlined version of True20.

This is what I'm leaning toward, too. In folklore and fiction, you have to be clever to deal with otherworldly entities because they have a way of messing you over if you were too dense to catch it in time.

This may seem really basic, but why not just make rapiers unavailable in your campaign? In most cases when a race or class allows proficiency with a rapier, it also allows proficiency in some other finesse weapon (shortswords, scimitars), so it shouldn't be that much of a change.

I'll have to do a thorough reading to provide any substantial feedback, but I do have questions. Is there a reason why some classes get one secondary ability and others get two? Why does the dark elf get a drawback to its racial trait when no other race does? What's up with the addition of so...
