[QUOTE="Epic Meepo, post: 9480049, member: 57073"] [B]Parts of a Pizza[/B] A pizza includes the following parts. [B][I]Bread.[/I][/B] A pizza has a base made of bread. [B][I]Cheese.[/I][/B] A pizza is topped with cheese. [B][I]Tomato Sauce.[/I][/B] A pizza has tomato sauce on it. That's a list of ingredients, not a recipe for baking a pizza. Just like saying "three abilities, two skills, a tool, an origin feat, and an equipment package" isn't a set of rules or guidelines for selecting combinations of abilities, skills, tools, feats, and equipment. Again, the 2014 PHB has rules saying you have to select tool proficiencies from a specific list when customizing a background. Does that restriction still apply in the 2024 rules? If you can answer that question using only the text in the 2024 PHB, I'm open to changing my mind. If you can't answer that question, then you can't create custom backgrounds using only the 2024 PHB.
