[QUOTE="wolff96, post: 1251163, member: 342"] I like this idea, but I do have one problem with it: Class limiting your choices. If I play a druid who grew up in the streets of a city and then fell in love with nature at the local version of Central Park, why am I limited to a Rural background? If my idea for a dwarven barbarian is that I was the son of the chief of an advanced clan (courtly) that was sacked by goblins, why do I share a background with the party fighter fresh off the farm? If I'm a bard who emphasizes the social skills and goes around operating as a con artist, why is the criminal background denied to me? ---------------------------- This is just a long-winded way of saying that I really like your idea, but I disagree with the notion that characters should be shoe-horned into options because of class choices. You've come up with a great way to increase diversity, please don't immediately turn around and limit things again. [/QUOTE]
