Backgrounds

Goal:

Backgrounds can be chosen by the player at character creation. Only one in the list is allowed per character. These will be simple yet powerful for the entirety of the module. When a player chooses the background he/she prefers and creates their character, the talents available to them will be sorted in such a way as that they fit thematically and statistically with their background choice.

Background choices have nothing to do with talent choices overall, but relevant talents are emphasized. "Race" does not limit the ability to choose a character's background or talents.

The ideas I have provided below are basic, feel free to add on, comment, or edit the page's contents. I changed the previous page "First Class" because it was misleading and because this approach is simpler than the former. -Rectifier
