Updating the scales of war backgrounds (dragon magazine 366) to the new PHBII background versions. For most of the backgrounds this was easily done. You just replace the benefits of the original version with the Associated Skills listed here and you’re done.
There are some without listed skills as the original versions didn’t involve any skills with the background or had a skill and another benefit.
So I was wondering if I could get some help with this missing skills for these backgrounds? Trying to keep it within the same standards as the other backgrounds in the PHBII. Thanks.
