[QUOTE="BobTheNob, post: 5948028, member: 82425"] Couldnt XP you... Bang on. Also relative to @GXSigma post. There is more to backgrounds than just the skills & feats. Really, they define your characters place in the world. Without then, your just a collection of skills and feats. Its not to say that you cant have a place in the world without a background. You could define your skills feat and write a strong backstory as well (which I have done with every character I have ever played). But once you have done this...you have designed a background. So the backgrounds they will supply are well and good, but you will have to design new ones for your campaign world. As well as this, at the same time allow players to define new backgrounds (with DM consultation) and you have what is, effectively, your cherry picking capability...just done within the background framework.
