[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9304564, member: 93670"] L Trouble is that the "spirit" of the mechanics behind background features is still dominate or [spoiler="this spell"] [ATTACH type="full"]355031[/ATTACH] [/spoiler] The only difference with [I]that[/I] spell is that it was single target rather than planet wide, the target got a save, and it could be broken more easily . If you are talking about the spirit of a background as a background footnote rather than the foreground mechanical background feature, the sticking point is that you've moved to talking about how backgrounds have been handled for decades and there is often a player (or poster) who feels that the gm must provide them with the mechanical boon that NPCs or the world has no logical reason to provide. If that is what you are talking about then the loss of mechanical background features doesn't seem relevant. [/QUOTE]
