Are you saying that's what some of the background features do? Because they don't. Again they're mostly just short cuts and at BEST they force the DM to do very little.Where are you getting this from? It's just not a thing. The player cannot simply do this. Not in D&D, not in any game I am aware of.There is a vast difference between giving players some leeway to do what they want/like and the players telling the DM the DM MUST act in a certain way and MUST have specific things happen. NO ONE in this thread is stating free reign to do the latter - it's just not a thing.Again, are you extrapolating this from the background feature discussion? Because NOWHERE in there on any side is anyone saying the players can just tell the DM to roll over and stop challenging them.</blockquote>
