Level bonus is +2 at level 1 and grow up to +6 .Essentially a level 1 elf wizard with the sailor background is:'<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Proficiency in Arcana +2 </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Proficiency in Acrobatics +2 </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Proficiency in Nature +2 </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Proficiency in Perception +2 </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Proficiency with waterborne vehicles +2 </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Proficiency in daggers +2 </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Proficiency in darts +2 </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Proficiency in longbow +2 </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Proficiency in longswords +2 </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Proficiency in quarterstaffs +2 </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Proficiency in shortbows +2 </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Proficiency in shortbows +2 </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Proficiency in slings +2 </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Proficiency in light crossbow +2 </li> </ul>Skill points and Skill die would be easy to make modules. 'Proficiency in Arcana +2" becomes "Proficiency in Arcana +1d4"Instead for 4 proficiencies at +2 each at level 1, you get 8 skill points with a +2 cap on any one proficiency.It is to prevent superskills.With no Acrobatics, Athletics would catch every exploration action outside of traps.Without Search, Perception would catch too many checks.Same with Persuasion.Otherwise, some rogue could get Athletic, Perception, Stealth, and  Persuasion, beat everything, and use the rest of the party as bodyguards and cadddies.</blockquote>
