[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8375170, member: 58172"] Not so different. Both the +2 and the +1 are "flexible" (= floating) ability score improvements. The racial power is a choice from several powers. Agreed. Beefier background. Possibly emphasize that this is a "cultural background". Thus the proficiencies and asset are specific to a given culture. Some cultural backgrounds can be widely shared like Farmer, Sailor, etcetera. Other cultural backgrounds can be highly particular like Aeven Conjured Clothing Designer, Living Wood Home Builder. Despite the background being a silo for noncombat features, allow any weapon proficiency that is pertinent to a background like spear proficiency for a boar hunter, longbow proficiency for a deer hunter. While a player can mix-and-match freely, the options can be presented in flavorful "pregen" ways. There is a lot of talk about a 6e. I dont see it any time soon. That said, there might be a defacto 5.5e, but it can be strictly backward compatible, and presented as a consolidation of all the options that 5e has developed across the last 10 years. [/QUOTE]
