That's probably splitting hairs though, especially since there are plenty of people who will take the stance that everything is at the DMs discretion. Either way, the point is I do allow it.It's nice when everything in a characters background is cogent, but at the end of the day, mechanically it's just a package of a few extra proficiencies and one neat little ability that may occasionally come up in game, so I'm not too bothered by it. Honestly I prefer that the backgrounds benefit makes sense within the context of the story more so than the skill and other proficiencies.</blockquote>
