Still ban the Folk Hero. The thing you did before you were a hero can't be "I was a hero"I'd agree with this if all games started at level 1

Well, there's the "I saved the world by stopping an all-powerful demon from opening a portal to Hell" hero, and there's the "I found Farmer Beauford's missing sheep and kept his family from starving" hero.Still ban the Folk Hero. The thing you did before you were a hero can't be "I was a hero"
Every other core background is what the person did for a living, not a single act of heroism.Well, there's the "I saved the world by stopping an all-powerful demon from opening a portal to Hell" hero, and there's the "I found Farmer Beauford's missing sheep and kept his family from starving" hero.
The Folk Hero background is referring to the second one.

Eh, not necessarily. "Urchin" isn't really a job description, nor is "Noble" or "Outlander."Every other core background is what the person did for a living, not a single act of heroism.
Agreed, although not a bad background my thoughts are basically “really? This is what won, out of everything on that list, this???” Like if you took a poll of which backgrounds are actually used I don’t feel like it would’ve won that.I'm not actually unhappy with the Sage background winning. Unfortunately, a lot of campaigns I'm familiar with, the DM doesn't really make research opportunities available to the PCs.
Urchin, Noble, Hermit are all how people live in the times and tales that inspire D&D. Outlander is also boring. It's being defined by how others see you not how you see yourself.Eh, not necessarily. "Urchin" isn't really a job description, nor is "Noble" or "Outlander."
"Bob Dillweed, Professional Hermit" sounds just as silly as "Bob Dillweed, Professional Folk Hero. "
