[QUOTE="bedir than, post: 8726442, member: 6789971"] With settings more frequently adding feats as part of the background system (either ones specific to the setting and background, or Skilled and Tough) I am considering changing my background project a bit. Currently I have 17 Custom Backgrounds, all with custom features. I didn't get to the point to develop TIBFs. Now that may just be a d8 of traits. I'm thinking that a d4 of Feats specific, plus Skilled and Tough as options for each of the custom backgrounds. Would this be of interest for potential players? Let's take [URL='https://fullmoonstorytelling.com/2021/05/19/farmer-5e-dd-background/']the Farmer[/URL]. It might be my favorite and is the second most popular. Suggested Feats for a Farmer choose or roll a d6. [LIST=1] [*]Skilled or Prodigy or Skill Expert (*) [*]Tough or Durable (*) [*]Athlete [*]Grappler [*]Healer [*]Tavern Brawler [/LIST] There would be a bit of lore about why each of makes sense. * I don't really like Tough and Skilled. Full list of my custom backgrounds for those that might be interested.
