[QUOTE="jimmifett, post: 5274038, member: 55006"] Backgrounds were introduced with scales of war and FR, before PHB2. They are a tad powerful, and backgrounds weren't really 'corrected' until PHB2/ECG. Of course, backgrounds are entirely optional in any setting. If you are the DM and don't like them, don't include them. If you require your chars to build chars in CB, you'll notice backgrounds are optional there as well. FR to me is better than a red hot poker in the eye (Eberron ftw), but if one is letting optional rules, famous heroes from a past edition (and 100 years in the past), and a pantheon get in the way of making a world one's own and adding your own stuff, doesn't sound like a DM i'd want to play with. How does anyone one KNOW what happens to someone who doesn't believe in a deity? I smell divine propoganda... :p I think a campaign could be built around figuring out exactly what does happen.
