It's almost insulting how flimsy it is. That's too strong a way to put it, and I'm not all worked up about it or anything, but I just feel like there's a lack of conviction or commitment at work there, like its a nod toward mechanically working Backgrounds into the narrative, but not in a way that really works. And it seems like to make such a thing possible in D&D would require changes they're not going to make, in the interest of keeping as much like the D&D that people know as they can.</blockquote>
