Backgrounds, Occupations, and Skills

Backgrounds
The background of your character can decide many outcomes in a game, whether it comes to if your character would run from a fight or fight to the death. It may also decide things from the GM's point of view, whether or not you've played your character's personality within the ideas provided in your background, and if you deserve RP or even a hero point, if applicable.

Occupations
The decision of what your character did before they became an adventurer, whether it was a heavily invested hobby or their occupation they did steadily to make a living. All decisions made for this system must be related to the occupation selected.
 * Choose two skills. They are both considered class skills. If either of the skills are already class skills from a class, they instead gain a +1 circumstance bonus to the relevant skill.
 * Choose one of the skills. This skill is considered a background skill for your character and can use background skill ranks.
 * Choose one feat that can be gained at level 1.

Skills
Characters that normally start with 2 + Int skill points, but are not dependent on Int (such as a cleric), instead gain 4 + Int skill points per level. This does not alter any classes that normally gain more than this or classes that use Int as a primary stat. If you are unsure if your class qualifies, ask in #questions.
