For my preferences, just showing up with a PC expecting to play them is a bad way to start a game in general.But choosing to customize a background according to the way the core rules specifically tell you, as the player, to do it, is conceptually no different than choosing to play a hill dwarf fighter.That’s a huge part of my point—because people aren’t as familiar with the background customization rule they want to treat it like a variant option a DM can opt-in to, like feats or gnomes, rather than a default option that DMs can opt-out of, which is what it officially is.</blockquote>
