[QUOTE="Steverooo, post: 1257022, member: 9410"] Are they Entertainers? I would say no. Perhaps you disagree. YMMV. You asked for input, I gave my opinion... I quoted your message in sections for a reason... To the Explorer Background, right above where I said "add this & that". Yes, yes, and Rangers should be able to be from Explorer, Nautical, or Rural backgrounds, eh? Most (if not all) Fighters are tough. Not all Fighters are Thugs, or Enforcers for the criminal underground. A Fighter who was a mob boss' bodyguard would be more likely to have underworld skills than someone who just lived on the streets. Decide whether or not you want to require such a PC to multiclass in order to gain those skills... No, since RangerWickett is currently considering it for publication in the ENWorld Players' Journal... If you find yours usable and balanced, maybe you should submit it, as well? If so, you need to explain HOW your system works, though... PCs STILL get background skills based on their class, just with these other skills added? I thought that was what you were trying to get AWAY from! Do they have access to ALL these skills after character creation (can they increase ones not initially taken at second level, for instance)?
