Backgrounds would provide a set of Skills, Tools, Languages and at least one ‘Talent’, plus some come with spells too.Then I thought about using them for a game of low powered PCs, I’d let them have 1d6  Hit Dice, maybe even a bonus Feat at first level.So what are your thoughts, while theyre not suppose to match the heroics of PC classes could you have fun playing a low tier Acolyte, Soldier, Charlatan, Archaeologist or Street Urchin?While it wasnt DnD I have run games where PCs were all Circus crew, another where they were hired for an archaeology dig, and another where they were a Crew of Sewer Workers (one of the players was a real engineer so ne became the Crew Boss)</blockquote>
