[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 9418035, member: 58172"] The concern is, it will make a difference. Since Tashas, players tended to treat the "floating" abilities as a separate design space. The array and the adjustments were separate from species, background, and class. But now, since the UA and confirmed for 2024, the backgrounds lock-in which abilities can be improved. So, a class and character concept requiring certain abilities will be forced to only have certain backgrounds to choose from. The DMs Guide will have some kind of discussion, and it isnt yet clear how inflexible the background abilities are. Who knows, there may be a sidebar describing some flexibility. With regard to the array belonging to the backgrounds design space, I guess, pretty much yeah. Both the array and the background abilities will be selected together with an eye toward enhancing or finetuning the class, for an overall concept. I prefer this. I would rather have the background be the determiner when wanting to play a certain class, than needing to be one of a few species to do it. [/QUOTE]
