What did your Player Characters do before they began their lives as Adventurers?

Most adventurers typically start their careers in their late teens or early twenties...and while that sounds about right in the modern world, a person in a medieval period would conceivably be married, have children, own property, and work in a profession by the time he was 16. Thus, a first level fighter could be leaving a family behind in order to enter his first dungeon. He might have to worry about who’s minding his blacksmith shop while he’s off slaughtering kobolds.

Fantasy Occupations is a d20 resource designed to help players and Game Masters flesh out the backgrounds of first level fantasy characters, taking a page from d20 Modern and using Occupations to reflect a character’s background and former livelihood. Occupations offer permanent class skills, starting money and bonus feats to first-level characters, as well as providing more detailed backgrounds for roleplaying.

I got a copy of this. After reading through it, I really like the idea and am hoping to use it when I get my next gaming group started.

It always bothered me that when I took skills that made sense for my character's background, I often ended up having to drop points for a cross-class skill. This gives a simple mechanic to set up those skills learned early in life, before the PC became an adventurer, without being torn over whether to "waste" point on something that will likely never be needed in the game.

I'm glad you're happy with it!

Hey GMSkarka & Walt C! I also picked up this & like it. Thanks for the great product. I am even thinking of letting humans in my campaign take a background instead of giving them the standard benefits from the PHB. Thanks Maester Luwin
