[QUOTE="Don Durito, post: 7908008, member: 6687260"] Easy implementation in 5E would be, choose two backgrounds (because one is not enough) - you could even choose the exiting ones as long as you add a bit more detail - so intead of Acolyte - it would be 'Disllusioned acolyte of the Great god Karn, trained at the high temple of Seraphia". Humans and Half-Elves would perhaps get an extra one. For expertise you just drill down into a relevant background and pick something more specific. i.e you pick the background above and choose "and star pupil of the scholar of comparative religion" (basically expertise in religion - I'd keep expertise linked fairly closely to existing skills unless the player puts forward something that really stands out that's not too broad - but making it a background provides interesting hooks - it tells us this dropout character might have an interesting relationship with his former teacher should the game end up in the city Seraphia). You could go the other way too. In 13th Age you could just say pick 2 backgrounds. If any background is relevant roll with advantage. [/QUOTE]
