Your character’s background is a collection of characteristics that represent the place and occupation that were most formative before your character embarked on a life of adventure.

A background should include a brief narrative of what your character’s past might have been like. Alter the details of this narrative however you like.

Add details of your custom background in you character's backstory.

Ability Scores. A background lists three of your character’s ability scores. Increase one by 2 and another one by 1, or increase all three by 1. None of these increases can raise a score above 20. (You will be able to choose your ability scores in the Abilities section of the character creation menu)
