Backgrounds still unavailable

Post by Void » Wed Apr 18, 2018 1:38 pm

I believe backgrounds other than slave and outcast are still unavailable on character creation.

Not a bug. They are intentionally disabled for the time being.

that wasnt what i meant, you can accidentally take the outcast not knowing all it entails and find yourself in the underdark, which isnt the easiest place for new players

just like everyone always called the kensai a trap path, you click outcast thinking ok cool im going to be a criminal type and that isnt the case

There is a description with the background. So it shouldn’t need to be disabled. But thank you for the input.

As for why, the backgrounds are getting redone to be more worthwhile.

Will we get to pick one for our existing characters?

I'd be very surprised if that was the case. That would be awesome, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

I don't know. I added a tool some time ago for DMs to be able to add new Backgrounds to players so I suspect it will be up to a DM review if that is the case. But I also think this would need a discussion with the Admins.

Being able to select the new equivalent of your current background would be nice, at least.
