This is an experiment to see if undead and lycanthropes can be treated as modifications to races rather than particular creatures or races, by overloading the background concept rather than changing a creature's race or class. Right now, to have an undead character, the character needs to be an undead creature. But what about the character's former race, subrace, class and so on. It think it makes sense to make modifications of these things rather than switch ot an entirely new race or creature. Arquebus (talk) 11:15, 14 August 2020 (MDT)
- Actually, this is where the lineage design comes in handy, considering the official Reborn and Revenant races. This doesn't make sense as a background.--Yanied (talk) 13:20, 16 February 2022 (MST)
Balance[edit]
It has been noticed that this background is totally out of balance to be used by a PC. Is this worth fixing, or should this background be limited to NPCs only? Arquebus (talk) 18:56, 3 June 2021 (MDT)
