I am working on making a custom background using the guild merchant as the base line.  When you select the background it gives you the Artisan Tools option under tools but there is no selection in the edit area to remove or change that option.  I can change the skills and languages fine.  I can create what I need from scratch but I am not sure if this is behaving as intended.  There is nothing wrong with the actual background as it works as written.  The issue is when trying to make an edit as there is no apparent way to remove the tools or change them to another type.

Thanks and great tools overall!

There are some customization options from backgrounds that aren't available to the public, and this might be one of them. I'll flag this as a request, as it makes using the Guild Merchant as a template kind of useless if you can't edit every aspect of the template. 

Awesome and thanks for letting me know.  I will try some other templates to build from to find one that works better until I learn the ins and outs of creating from scratch.
