[QUOTE="Gold Roger, post: 5947694, member: 33904"] Backgrounds and themes are fine. Yes, backgrounds are just a skill bundle and one trait. Yes, themes are just a feat bundle. Don't underestimate how many people who don't care about massive amounts of mechanical choices. There are many players who couldn't care less about freely choosable feats and skills. But they do care for a background that really says something about their pc. Themes make it easy to gloss over the feat choosing part of character creation. I'm perfectly fine with people never again cherry picking those elements. In theorie, feats are a great way to flesh out your character. In practise, many players would pick only the really good feats that fit their PC and a bunch of stuff that doesn't really say anything about him. Many others would just be anoyed at having to choose one benefit from a huge list. I think you'll find many groups will play themes and backgrounds right out of the book. I know I certainly will.
