    Default Looking for a background.

    Q 477

    Can anyone point me towards a background that fits this fluff?
    Paladin of Ioun sent undercover within a Cult of Vecna, becomes tainted, and is now fighting to redeem himself for the actions he had to take to maintain his cover.

All the others, because of whatever the background is. This is more a question that should get its own thread - its subjective beginning to end.

    So I asked in the Q&A because I didn't want to have it suggested I do it there, turns out I thought backwards. So, now I post here. Anyone have a good suggestions? Chaladin MC Binder, I am not asking for mechanical benefits because I'm not familiar with all the different things Backgrounds can do.

    In terms of benefits: almost all backgrounds either give small skill bonuses, or let you base your hit points on the stat of your choice (instead of constitution). The latter group are much stronger than the former.

    I'm actually looking for something that does some along the lines of the fluff. Being able to drop Con and focus on other stats would be mechanically good, but I'm willing to drop optimization for some fluff, to help build up the character.
