[QUOTE="Johnny Champion, post: 6322435, member: 6761886"] As I read this observation, a bigger issue always nags at me. I know it is off topic but.. Backgrounds do add flavor to a PC but isn't the age of a typical character quite young? And as Level 1 in a Class, wouldn't that have required several years foundation in study and training with a mentor? I just have a hard time putting much relevance in a background as it seems to me, IMHO, that role playing Class requirements in regard to time, trump anything of importance. Where is the time in years that can allow a worthwhile background to develop AND the specialized training to become Level 1 in a class? It seems that a mage would be studying for years before becoming Level 1? So how much time could he have had available to be a Bounty Hunter as well? or am I putting too much thought into this? :) [/QUOTE]
