I can see your point about village blacksmiths as opposed to a weaponsmith. In larger areas though, I think the proficiency and professionalism would increase, you know? I also agree that there are problems in detailing diverse and interesting backgrounds within the standard rules as provided. While it is true that you may not see the need for it, that may only be temporary. Others, like myself and Limper, have seen a need. At some future time, with a particular character, you too, may desire a background system that is more detailed. Or not, which is ok too, but it would have been nice I think if the rulebooks had detailed a significantly more detailed and robust system for determining such diverse and rich backgrounds.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Thus, we are left to figure much of these things out for ourselves!<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Alhandra wrote:____________________________________________________"SHARK's campaign world is a HUGE, barely-medeival society.It seems more like a modern-day society, if it was dominated by a patriotic, quasi-religious Roman-type government and used magic as technology and had no ACLU."____________________________________________________End Quote.Alhandra, your post put me in tears!<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Very funny! It's great to have you here. I haven't seen you in quite a stretch. I agree with your post, too, about the blacksmith needing to be good at what he does. The larger the community, the better they will have to be, because mediocrity will show up starkly against more professional craftsmen, and before long, the mediocre craftsman would be lucky to be in charge of making nails!<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Semper Fidelis,SHARK</blockquote>
