Of the few backgrounds that come with one or more options, I will list the best option(s) in each case.</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><strong></strong></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Regarding Custom Backgrouds:</strong> When creating your own background, choose one of the equipment packages below. You cannot choose an equipment package from a Mulmaster or Hillsfar background unless you have the <em>Elemental Evil</em> or <em>Rage of Demons </em>story origin. Your starting lifestyle is modest.</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Regarding Inheritance:</strong> This item is unique to the Inheritor background. While also listed in the equipment section of said background, the item itself is inextricably linked to the background feature. As such, if you make a custom background with the goal of gaining the inheritor's equipment package, you must also take the <em>Inheritance</em> background feature, or miss out on this unique item. As detailed <a href="http://dndadventurersleague.org/the-sword-coast-adventurers-guide-and-you" target="_blank">here</a>, this item can have a value of up to 75gp (or 37.5gp if sold). <strong>This is the single most expensive item from any background</strong>. With that being said, the item can also have a minor magical quirk, or glow if desired. </span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000">Whether you value your inheritance, or (like many people) would scalp it for a quick buck, is left entirely up to the individual. Having a minor magical property does not increase its value however, so only those characters with a mundane (yet valuable) inheritance would be interested in selling it.</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Most Expensive Inheritance Options</strong></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"></span></p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Armor:</strong> Chain mail (37.5gp), scale mail or chain shirt (25gp), studded leather (22.5gp)</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Weapons:</strong> Hand crossbow (37.5gp); greatsword, heavy crossbow, or longbow (25gp)</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Adventuring Gear:</strong> Spellbook (25gp)</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Tools:</strong> Alchemist's supplies, tinker's tools, or poisoner's kit* (25gp), Lute (17.5gp), Thieves' Tools (12.5gp)</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Mounts and Vehicles: </strong>Riding Horse (37.5gp)*, Camel or Draft Horse (25gp)*, Exotic Saddle (30gp), wagon (17.5gp), rowboat (25gp)</span></li> </ul><p>* I am uncertain whether these items count as <em>permanent</em> mundane items or not. It makes sense that you could inherit these things, and in the case of a poisoner's kit - the container itself might be the primary inheritance (while the contents are replaceable). </span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Regarding Musical Instruments:</strong> While a rare item (only found in two backgrounds to date, one of which is RoD exclusive), this option gives you the choice of a Lute (+17.5g) or your choice of Bagpipes, Lyre, Viol or Dulcimer. If you wish to own a different musical instrument, I recommend selling your Lute (17.5g) and purchasing your choice of:</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000">Drum (net +11.5g)</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000">Flute or Shawm (net +15.5g)</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000">Horn (net +14.5g)</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000">Pan Flute (net +5.5g)</span></li> </ul><p></p><p><strong>Regarding Artisan's Tools:</strong><span style="color: #000000"> Players who want the maximum GP possible should pay close attention to any background that grants artisan's tools, as this allows you to choose either </span><em>alchemist's supplies</em><span style="color: #000000"> or <em>tinker's tools</em>; both of which can be sold for 25gp, <em>glassblower's tools</em> (15gp) or <em>jeweller's tools </em>(12.5g). If you wish to own a different type of artisan's tool, I recommend selling your alchemists supplies/tinkers tools and purchasing your choice of:</span></p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000">Brewers Supplies, smith's tools (net +5g)</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000">Calligrapher's Supplies, mason's tools, painter's supplies, potters supplies, (net +15g)</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000">Carpenter's Tools (net +17g)</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000">Cartographer's Tools (net +10g)</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000">Cobbler's Tools, Leatherworker's tools (net +20g)</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000">Cook's utensils, weater's tools, or woodcarver's tools (net +24g)</span></li> </ul><p>The backgrounds (and equipment packages) that grant artisan's tools are as follows:</span></p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Player's Handbook:</strong> Folk Hero, Guild Artisan</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Mulmaster Backgrounds:</strong> Mulmaster Aristocrat, Phlan Refugee</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Hillsfar Backgrounds:</strong> Cormanthor Refugee</span></li> </ul><p><span style="color: #000000"></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Regarding unique items:</strong> Some backgrounds provide one (or more) unique items, not found on the equipment list. As these items cannot be obtained in any other way, I strongly recommend whether you desire these items before choosing your background, or equipment package (if using a custom background).</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><u></u></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><u><span style="font-size: 18px">Unique Items (Complete List)</span></u></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Appropriate Clothing:</strong> Urban Bounty Hunter; Undefined clothing which can be tailored by character.</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Banner or Token from a Noble:</strong> Noble (Knight)</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Battered Alms Box:</strong> Gate Urchin (RoD exclusive)</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Brooch:</strong> Waterdhavian Noble</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Cast off military-jacket/cap/scarf:</strong> Gate Urchin (RoD exclusive)</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Code-Book:</strong> Faction Agent</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Con Artist Tools: </strong>Charlatan (your choice of: ten stoppered bottles of colored liquid, weighted dice, deck of marked cards, or a signet ring of an imaginary duke).</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Dark Common Clothes:</strong> Iron Route Bandit</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Dark Common Clothes (with hood):</strong> Criminal</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Dark Common Clothes (hood & cloak):</strong> Phlan Insurgent</span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Dice (Bone):</strong> Soldier.

[QUOTE="kalani, post: 6730013, member: 88085"] [U][B][SIZE=5]Recommended Background Choices[/SIZE][/B] [/U][COLOR=#000000]Unlike with class, most backgrounds come with a fixed list of equipment. Of the few backgrounds that come with one or more options, I will list the best option(s) in each case. [B] Regarding Custom Backgrouds:[/B] When creating your own background, choose one of the equipment packages below. You cannot choose an equipment package from a Mulmaster or Hillsfar background unless you have the [I]Elemental Evil[/I] or [I]Rage of Demons [/I]story origin. Your starting lifestyle is modest. [B]Regarding Inheritance:[/B] This item is unique to the Inheritor background. While also listed in the equipment section of said background, the item itself is inextricably linked to the background feature. As such, if you make a custom background with the goal of gaining the inheritor's equipment package, you must also take the [I]Inheritance[/I] background feature, or miss out on this unique item. As detailed [URL="http://dndadventurersleague.org/the-sword-coast-adventurers-guide-and-you"]here[/URL], this item can have a value of up to 75gp (or 37.5gp if sold). [B]This is the single most expensive item from any background[/B]. With that being said, the item can also have a minor magical quirk, or glow if desired. Whether you value your inheritance, or (like many people) would scalp it for a quick buck, is left entirely up to the individual. Having a minor magical property does not increase its value however, so only those characters with a mundane (yet valuable) inheritance would be interested in selling it. [B]Most Expensive Inheritance Options[/B] [LIST] [*][B]Armor:[/B] Chain mail (37.5gp), scale mail or chain shirt (25gp), studded leather (22.5gp) [*][B]Weapons:[/B] Hand crossbow (37.5gp); greatsword, heavy crossbow, or longbow (25gp) [*][B]Adventuring Gear:[/B] Spellbook (25gp) [*][B]Tools:[/B] Alchemist's supplies, tinker's tools, or poisoner's kit* (25gp), Lute (17.5gp), Thieves' Tools (12.5gp) [*][B]Mounts and Vehicles: [/B]Riding Horse (37.5gp)*, Camel or Draft Horse (25gp)*, Exotic Saddle (30gp), wagon (17.5gp), rowboat (25gp) [/LIST] * I am uncertain whether these items count as [I]permanent[/I] mundane items or not. It makes sense that you could inherit these things, and in the case of a poisoner's kit - the container itself might be the primary inheritance (while the contents are replaceable). [B]Regarding Musical Instruments:[/B] While a rare item (only found in two backgrounds to date, one of which is RoD exclusive), this option gives you the choice of a Lute (+17.5g) or your choice of Bagpipes, Lyre, Viol or Dulcimer. If you wish to own a different musical instrument, I recommend selling your Lute (17.5g) and purchasing your choice of: [LIST] [*]Drum (net +11.5g) [*]Flute or Shawm (net +15.5g) [*]Horn (net +14.5g) [*]Pan Flute (net +5.5g) [/LIST] [/COLOR] [B]Regarding Artisan's Tools:[/B][COLOR=#000000] Players who want the maximum GP possible should pay close attention to any background that grants artisan's tools, as this allows you to choose either [/COLOR][I]alchemist's supplies[/I][COLOR=#000000] or [I]tinker's tools[/I]; both of which can be sold for 25gp, [I]glassblower's tools[/I] (15gp) or [I]jeweller's tools [/I](12.5g). If you wish to own a different type of artisan's tool, I recommend selling your alchemists supplies/tinkers tools and purchasing your choice of: [LIST] [*]Brewers Supplies, smith's tools (net +5g) [*]Calligrapher's Supplies, mason's tools, painter's supplies, potters supplies, (net +15g) [*]Carpenter's Tools (net +17g) [*]Cartographer's Tools (net +10g) [*]Cobbler's Tools, Leatherworker's tools (net +20g) [*]Cook's utensils, weater's tools, or woodcarver's tools (net +24g) [/LIST] The backgrounds (and equipment packages) that grant artisan's tools are as follows:[/COLOR] [LIST] [*][B]Player's Handbook:[/B] Folk Hero, Guild Artisan [*][B]Mulmaster Backgrounds:[/B] Mulmaster Aristocrat, Phlan Refugee [*][B]Hillsfar Backgrounds:[/B] Cormanthor Refugee [/LIST] [COLOR=#000000] [B]Regarding unique items:[/B] Some backgrounds provide one (or more) unique items, not found on the equipment list. As these items cannot be obtained in any other way, I strongly recommend whether you desire these items before choosing your background, or equipment package (if using a custom background). [U] [SIZE=5]Unique Items (Complete List)[/SIZE][/U] [LIST] [*][B]Appropriate Clothing:[/B] Urban Bounty Hunter; Undefined clothing which can be tailored by character. [*][B]Banner or Token from a Noble:[/B] Noble (Knight) [*][B]Battered Alms Box:[/B] Gate Urchin (RoD exclusive) [*][B]Brooch:[/B] Waterdhavian Noble [*][B]Cast off military-jacket/cap/scarf:[/B] Gate Urchin (RoD exclusive) [*][B]Code-Book:[/B] Faction Agent [*][B]Con Artist Tools: [/B]Charlatan (your choice of: ten stoppered bottles of colored liquid, weighted dice, deck of marked cards, or a signet ring of an imaginary duke).

It is not clear whether this item is a quarterstaff, or a common walking stick. If it is the latter, it is unique, but can only be used as an improvised weapon.
