CusTOMIZING A BACKGROUND

In order to better understand how backgrounds work, feel free to check out the 5th Edition D&D Players Handbook, as it will provide additional backgrounds that you can use or modify to your liking.

If you feel as if any of these backgrounds do not fully suit your character, feel free to swap around features, choose any two skills, and take a total of two tool proficiencies from sample backgrounds. If the DM chooses to add custom. languages, feel free to swap one of these tool proficiencies will a custom language proficiency.

Next, you can either use the equipment package from your background or spend Belly (B) on gear as described in Chapter 5 (If you spend Belly this way, you can't also take the equipment package from your class). Last, choose two personality traits, one ideal, one bond, and one flaw. Feel free to develop custom features with your DM if you cannot choose one that fits your character.
