[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 5991703, member: 1465"] Going by the name, a "background" should be both what you were and what you still are when you are not adventuring ("in the background"), even after having class levels. I think it would work better this way because you aren't losing what you learned for your background, in fact your skill bonuses from background will [I]improve[/I] later, suggesting that you are still living e.g. as an Artisan in the downtime. However the current description does not mention this, and focuses only on what you were before. I am still ok with pretty much all the backgrounds presented, except maybe charlatan and spy, which don't convince me fully. I think someone could be a knight before (or without ever) having class levels. After all it doesn't matter because all PCs have class levels, and so do important NPCs... everybody else, who cares?
