Background Flavor
Background Flavor
The PHB features a list of Backgrounds that players can pick from as a starting point to enhance their character building. This is a list of additional options for backgrounds that players can choose from for additional variety. Players can choose to ignore this list completely (and backgrounds are not required in general).
To use:
Each background flavor has a list of traits associated with it. You can take as many or as few traits from the list as you want. Keep in mind that each trait has a cost: when you take it, you will have to give up something of equal value from your base background.
If the trait gives you a skill, it will replace one of the skills you get from your base background.
If a trait gives you a language or tool proficiency, it will replace either a language or a tool proficiency from your base background. You can replace a language with a tool proficiency and vice versa.
If the trait gives you a background feature, it will replace the background feature you get from your base background.
