So I am struggling to pick a background... got the okay to use a summoner class homebrew I found awhile back (it summons and modifies summons you collect, so 1 summon and 2 at level 10) and I also got the okay to play a dhamp from the UA.
I plan to theme his power as kind of living tattoos that will shift on his body as they lunge off of him to take form. All of his summons will be undead so essentially he is creating replicas of the souls of those who are slain around him like an undead elven mage, an undead giant owl, and an undead giant spider.
his life is very much nomadic and I want something that gives proficiency in stealth because I plan for his style to be a more agile stealthy summoner.
i can work with tribal or nobility but I am just trying to think of something that will fit this concept.
Urban Bounty Hunter, Spy/Criminal are the only ones that give prof to stealth if you cannot get it from your class. Alternatively, if your background gives you access to something you would get from your class (and you choose it for your class) you would be free to pick any prof from your background.
I'm not sure what profs you get to choose from/have chosen from your class.

You can also make a custom background. See if the feature 'Discovery' from the hermit background works for you. Or look at Haunted One.

Thanks talked with him and we may be tweaking bounty hunter a little because the urban part also doesn’t quite fit for my character.
