we're looking at making it so that all of the backgrounds deliver an equal number of skills and traits,
So apparently there are things called traits in D&D Next, and it seems like Rodney didn't know that we didn't know that yet. They look like little roleplaying-related feats that backgrounds give.We imagine that traits cover a pretty broad swath of different abilities, mostly tied to your character's unique history. A simple expression of this would be a few extra languages, which opens up more roleplaying possibilities for the character. A more specialized trait would be one that allows a knight to always be able to get lodging and aid from a noble house that recognizes his or her own noble claim.
