Like, the ones listed are just examples, and you're supposed to use them as a template for making up your own.In any case, I would expect a multi-faceted background to include small bits from each aspect, rather than saying that only one of the aspects was still important - so you might have a gladiator-style perk, smith tool and watercraft proficiency, Athletics, and Intimidation. Since a background grants five distinct things, the limit for meaningful complexity in a background is five different aspects.</blockquote>
