My apologies if it's been suggested already but :
Currently :
- Classes have access to a special tag options during conversation.
- Backgrounds don't affect the gameplay (except for Inspiration points) even though they easily could. They have the potentiel to be a pretty important RP component. But currently, they feel a bit...empty/hollow.
I think it would be nice to
add Backgrounds tags.
This is something I've felt was missing from the get-go. Especially as someone who has played Criminal/Charlatan Sorcerers and wants to play an Entertainer Paladin.
Suggestions :
1)
Apply some of the Class Tags to certain Backgrounds.
For instance :
-
Charlatan/Criminal/Urchin : some of the Rogue options.
-
Entertainer : some of the Bards options.
-
Soldier: some of the Fighter options.
-
Guild Artisan : at least the Rogue options related to the Zhentarim.
-
Hermit/Outlander : some of the Druid/Ranger options (and probably Monk options)
Obviously, this wouldn't be applicable to the options that are explicitly related to the different classes ("I'm a cleric of X", "I'm a bard"...).
2)
Adding a few options that don't already exist for Backgrounds that can't easily be grouped with classes (Noble, Sage...).
It's probably more work though.
That would
add more flavor to Backgrounds and help players role-playing their character to the fullest.
This could also help (in part) with issues brought by the following threads :
Missing dialogue choices. and
No middle ground?.
I might edit or post more concrete examples later. I just can't think of concrete ones at the minute.
I just remember thinking that continuously when playing the game.
