[QUOTE="fba827, post: 4780132, member: 807"] my players are good at creating backgrounds (either all at once at the start of a campaign, or over time adding to it), in fact they are able to do so more richly in the context of the campaign world than the generic-campaign ones offered in the PHB2, as such, we've more or less simplified background benefits to: Choose either (And background benefit can not be changed/retrained, what you choose is the bonus that you have for the life of the character): a) One skill (any skill) and gain a +2 to it b) Choose one skill not on your class list and add it to your class list c) choose one bonus language (that is the mechanical aspect of the PHB2 benefits, without the obligatory background "classifications"). And then, just come up with a justification as to how it fits in with your background (<-- doing it this way allows us to use backgrounds more tailored for the specifics of the campaign's setting and more individuality in the choices.
