Hi everyone,
My DM wants to take a break from DMing after heroic tier is done. He offered me the opportunity to take it up the reigns for a while. They said they wanted to stay with D&D 4e, so I figured that I would try to run the New World for them, if only for a little bit.
One thing that I wanted to do, though, for this campaign is to write custom backgrounds for the offline Character Builder. Someone wrote a program called CBLoader (http://"http://code.google.com/p/cbloader/") that allows you to add content to the (now defunct) offline builder.
So I'm thinking of adding custom backgrounds for my players to take that add a bit more flavour to the world, while getting rid of the ones that are clearly broken from other sources (Scales of War's - Born Under a Bad Sign is an example).
I'd like some suggestions on what my players could take as Colonists to the new world.
Here are some I have so far:
Colonist - Entrepreneur: +2 Diplomacy, +1 Initiative
Colonist - Scholar: +2 Arcana, +2 History
Colonist - Missionary: +2 Religion, +2 Diplomacy or Intimidate (Depending what type of missionary they would like to be.)
Colonist - Labourer: +2 to Athletics, +2 to Endurance
Please contribute, as I'm not sure mine are particularily interesting.
