Since they would all have the althletics skill, presumably the DM would provide athletic things to do.For criminals, well they could all have been from the same gang. All having stealth means some probably restriction on armour choices, but then again, bypassing encounters becomes a more likely option.For acolytes, they could all have the same god and church. A different kind of special forces with a different kind of theme. But all having insight also allows for a heavier emphasis on interaction, perhaps even "father brown" style mysteries.For folk heroes, the great outdoors provides a comfortable living. The focus could be more on the wilderness and less on the town adventures. Or one could have a "Robin Hood" or "Serving the prince in exile" theme.Sages is a bit of a stumbling block. All having the ability to know where a certain piece of information could be found, and all having proficiency in the same knowledge skills, doesn't provide the same sort of opportunity for benefits from overlap as the other four types do.Anyhow, just my thoughts. What do you guys think of one background parties?</blockquote>
