Backgrounds (Biscore-Zabbet Supplement)

Languages

All languages, Common and Exotic, from base Dungeons and Dragons are found within here. For alien races, have them speak either their own language, or common. Either way, it makes no difference. Language is typically a non-issue, as both Biscore and Zabbet use Common for many of their races, however beyond these two planets communication may get a bit muddled if there are no translators.

Backgrounds

Any conventional Dungeons and Dragons background can be used within this setting, as well as most Homebrew backgrounds as long as it makes sense thematically. If you want to make your own background, work with your DM to come up with a working story for them, as well as giving them tools based on what they used to do or be. A general rule is no weapons, armor, focuses, or the like. Adventuring gear and tools are usually what you're going to have, if that. You'll also want to work out how much GP your character would have. 10 gp is usually a good base.
