If you really don't like the questions I'm asking, why not just ignore my questions? Why bother calling me passive aggressive and accusing me of making personal attacks?I know nothing about your games. I have no way to know if you knew about this rule. My point is that your response to OP's post here is alien to me:Let me rephrase: Your reading is so far off from my reading that I would like to understand how you arrived at that interpretation, and I was asking for why that's your interpretation of both OP's post and the custom background rule. In my mind, your second paragraph is not significantly different than OP's post. I just don't see it and I am confused.Yes, one way I could imagine having this reaction would be to have no knowledge that the rule exists and suddenly stumbling across this post telling people that it's ridiculous that people don't know that this is how the rules read. I do not think that about you or your game, but I do think that a DM who wasn't aware of the rule might react this way to being told that it's RAW. That's why I specifically asked why the way I did:No, I'm not trying to say that you must be reacting that way because you're stupid and I know everything. I'm saying that I don't understand the resistance to this rule and I don't understand this reading of the first post.From my view, I've asked you for an explanation and you've responded, in so many words, "Stop attacking me."If I've offended you, then I apologize. I am not attacking you. It feels to me like you're twisting my words. Do you think I'm sea lioning? That I'm trying to say you must be stupid? I am doing neither. I genuinely do not understand.</blockquote>
