Hey all,
I was looking into making a new character for a 2nd playthrough and I noticed that tool proficiencies dont seem to be listed anywhere? Languages also dont seem to not be implemented? Or crafting tools? Or musical instruments? My first character was a folk hero and thus it kind of dident register for me earlier. I should have had a selection of a form of artisan tools but had completly forgetten about that.
I was wondering if this is correct or not? I know Rogues have thieves tool proficiency with their class feats(or rather ive seen the bonus ingame) so its in part there. Ive tried playing instruments on characters without musical instruments and I cant play a song to safe my life no matter how many times ive tried. When I got to the backgrounds that should give thief tools proficiency it isent listed anywhere though. Heck for the rogue itself the bonus isent listed either anywhere that I can see in the character selection screen. Can someone confirm if these backgrounds give the profciency or not? Or heck, if therye even in the game?
This makes some backgrounds just straight up border-line useless. Point of the performer background for example is that you can be a (somewhat) bard without actually beeing a bard. I know theres a feat to get proficiency with musical instruments. But as far as I can tell its not listed anywhere. Criminals, charlatans nad urchins have things like thief tools and whatnot that arent listed anywhere either.
Urchin I was interested in. The background (should anyway) give proficiency in thieves tools and disguise kits. Allowing you to make a rogue without taking the rogue class.Guild artisan is missing most of the reason why you would even take it tp begin with

Am I missing something?
