Special Backgrounds

Players must choose a specific background, as it will determine what type of character they're going to be.

• Grail Warrior: This background gives the most amount of independence. You play as a standard character and class and have been allowed to fight in the Grail War.
• Summoner: This background specifically applies if you play the Summoner class. All summoners gain a servant that fights alongside them. Both the summoner and the servant are considered as participants.
• Summoner Servant: If a player chooses the Summoner background and class, it is highly recommended that another player chooses this background.
• Grail Summoner: This background can be chosen by players with at least a 15 in one of the mental ability scores. These players are marked as Grail Summoners and are provided a servant by the Grail itself. These servants, however, are not the same as Summoner Servants. Grail Summoners though still do gain Command Seals.
• Grail Servants: Just like how if a player chooses to play as a summoner, another player will be requested to choose this background if a player chooses the Grail Summoner background. Grail Servants are special in the sense that they function like a standard character, but instead of a certain class ability, they instead gain a "partial" Noble Phantasm that replaces a specific class ability. They are still under the jurisdiction of a Grail Summoner and will suffer the same penalties servants. (These servants can also be known as pseudo-servants)
