Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brakkis" data-source="post: 6797335" data-attributes="member: 6808957">Hello everyone. Let me first say that this is my first attempt at creating a homebrew background. I started trying to create it because I wanted a sort of cross between the Acolyte and the Soldier backgrounds as both backgrounds slightly fit the character I was creating, but neither one properly fit his backstory as much as I liked.So here is what I have come up with thus far. It is not complete at this time because well, I'd like some input and suggestions before I further it.Holy ChampionAs a child you felt called to do something more than merely be a soldier. You wanted to train yourself, and put those skills to a greater purpose. You joined a divine order, taking vows that you would use your skills and talents to help those in need, to better the lives of those around you not just by spreading the word of your diety, but by defending people from those who would bring darkness and harm upon them. In the following years you rose through the order, achieving a rank of importance and command among your brothers and sisters.Work with your DM to determine which order you joined and which god, or pantheon of gods, that order worships. What sort of sort of experiences did you have while defending people and upholding the virtues of your order? Did you fight common thugs, an organized cult, in invading army? Is the order part of a nation's military, or do they give aid to numerous nations when called upon?Skill Proficiencies: Athletics, ReligionTool Proficiencies: Vehicles (Land)Languages: One of your choiceEquipment: An insignia of rank, a holy symbol, a set of traveler's clothes, and a belt pouch containing 15gpFeatureBeacon of Hope - As a holy champion you have earned the respect and often even the admiration of your fellow man. From commoners to nobles, people tend to see you as a symbol of light and justice. You and your companions can expect to be given a place to rest and heal at any religious establishment that follows your deity, or one with close ties. Authority and military figures considered allies of your order will recognize your rank and status, and may defer to your judgment. You may exert your status to requisition simple supplies and transportation for yourself and your companions from local townships willing to aid you on your journey.That is as far as I've gotten on the background thus far. I haven't determined characteristics for it yet, and I would appreciate some feedback and suggestions on not only those but what I have done up to this point. I also posted this on reddit but well, I've never really gotten much of a response when I post things there so I'm trying my hand here to see what I can get.</blockquote>
