Your character’s Background is a collection of characteristics that represent the place and occupation that were most formative for the character before they embarked on a life of adventure.
When you choose a Background, you have three options:
- Build a Background by using the rules in the “Build Your Background” section.
- Select a premade Background from the “ Backgrounds ” section.
- Select a premade Background from the “ Backgrounds ” section and then customize it with the rules in the “ BUILD YOUR BACKGROUND ” section.
No matter which Background you choose, consider these questions from your character’s viewpoint:
- How does your Background influence your current worldview?
- Do you embrace or reject your Background?
- Did you form any relationships during your Background that endure today?
