From One DnD DMG (2024): “A character’s background represents what the character did prior to becoming an adventurer. Creating a unique background or customizing an existing one from the Player’s Handbook can reflect the particular theme of your campaign or elements of your world. You can also create a background to help a player craft the story they have in mind for their character.
Two skill proficiencies, one tool/instrument/vehicle/gaming set proficiency, one origin feat, and 50gp/equipment + gp equalling 50gp in value.
Ability score modification will not work with Custom Background 2024 at this time. When creating a character in DnD Beyond, you can modify ability scores in the same way as you used to in 5e (2014).
