Talk:Genin (5e Background)

Universalization

I removed village attire and village headband from the equipment list as the traveler’s clothes can easily be flavored to include both of these. In addition, I have reworded the introduction and features in order to make them be more inline with standard D&D, as while this could be setting specific, it would be better for it to be adaptable to other scenarios as well. --Ref3rence (talk) 08:46, 28 May 2019 (MDT)

I don't remember ever seeing a genin with a bingo book. Maybe a small bonus to chakra instead? Since the academy trained their spirit and body. I mean like 3-5 points or whatever seems reasonable for a background.

While genin themselves might not have carried bingo books in canon, this is meant to be a more general Naruto-style ninja background, with the name having been chosen for simplicity. Including a bonus to chakra would make the background feature have mechanical value, and more importantly restrict its use to a single homebrew class when all backgrounds should be playable with all classes.--Ref3rence (talk) 18:22, 20 January 2023 (MST)
