CHARACTER THREADS

Character Threads in Northlands Worldbook are positions, occupations, and situations a character might pursue while they continue to go on quests and battle foes. These can be added to characters at any time during their career and have specific short or long-term goals, acting as thematic milestones. Each Thread progresses through four steps, and their recommended Milestone level is indicated in parentheses by the Thread name. Threads can be added to a character’s sheet by enabling Optional Features and clicking the Optional Feature Manager tab on the Class page in the Character Builder.

Because of DDB’s system limitations, Threads are generally text-only additions to player sheets. Players have the option to select any thread of any level at any time; this is intentional, and meant to allow players to select the next step of their current Thread or switch Threads with ease, since we cannot level-gate each step of the feature. Additionally, the previous Milestone’s information will be added to the next Milestone’s description, compounding as players level up so that they can reference each step. This means that any proficiencies selected in a previous step will need to be re-selected when the next Milestone is achieved.

Quote from TaronDale >>

 It looks like the Preordained Hero background is offering the wrong feat selection. 

"Feat: Choose one Origin feat that imparts the blessing of a deity"

When I try to select a feat, it is giving only the 4th level Blessing Feats and not the Origin ones: Bragi, Heimdall, Hel, Njord, Skadi, Tyr, and Snow Queen.

 Thanks for the callout! This should be fixed for new characters (only offering the origin blessing feats now) - cache can sometimes be slower to update on characters already made.
