Backgrounds
About
Backgrounds are simple ways to describe your character's specialty, and allude to their origin story. Backgrounds are optional and may be acquired along your adventure, or taken at the start of your campaign. You may only have one Background at a time. They represent what your character is "best" at. You can switch Backgrounds with Storyteller approval.
