Message: <blockquote data-quote="Li Shenron" data-source="post: 7488078" data-attributes="member: 1465">On second thoughts I would not allow it.There is already a core feat to represent the same thing, Skilled which grants a combination of 3 skills or tools proficiencies. Apparently this is the amount of benefits that the designers decided to be appropriate for a feat. A background grants 1 more proficiency (although only 2 can be skills) and a downtime benefit, so getting a background instead of a feat is effectively cheating, because it us absolutely not required for roleplay. The traits / bonds / etc are not mechanical benefits so everyone is free to have as many as they wish.Is one more proficiency a big deal? Does it break the game? NO. But then if you allow this, I want an extra weapon prof because it doesn't break the game. And an extra racial feature from a different race because it doesn't break the game. And one extra known spell because it doesn't break the game...If you give one PC an extra, you either gotta make it a special reward for good playing, or give an equivalent bonus to all PC.But then again if it's not a big deal, why does the PC need it?</blockquote>
