But, yes, there is give and take. That's an area where I believe things could have been expanded. I still wouldn't want everything to be strictly coded out. Some amount of ambiguity is helpful for that give-and-take. The way I view it (and how I believe it should work) did not survive for very long after the 5e PHB. Each subsequent book appears to have taken further steps away from that style of play. The end result is how backgrounds are being approached in 5.5. I do not see the approach as being the same. I do not feel that the 5.5 approach is as satisfactory to how I would like backgrounds to function.</blockquote>
