[QUOTE="SanjMerchant, post: 7160282, member: 6860001"] Sort of torn here: on the one hand, I agree with Tormyr broadly that Background Features are designed to help with narrative and downtime elements (eg Acolyte or Folk Hero mean you never have to worry about lifestyle expenses; Sage and Criminal give you free access to plot hooks). On the other hand, the official converstion on en5ider makes the canon backgrounds more powerful, being much more closely equivalent to feats. If you do with the former, an alternative to the hubris thing (which is very good) might be that they're among the first to realize that the future (as foretold via skyseeing) appears to end rather abruptly rather soon. Perhaps worded such that they can't be sure if it's a sign that the future stops or just the ability to read it stops functioning, but that might also give them a hint as to the Shape of Things to Come that will hopefully have that "Aha!" moment when they start realizing that the plot revolves around an attempt to fill said blank space. Not sure how this would translate into the background-as-bonus-feat thing the official conversion does, though. [/QUOTE]
