Background Equipment
Posted: Tuesday, 1st May 2018, 00:15
So, we all know that certain creatures can't wear certain things (typically armor) which affects their backgrounds. One thing I've noticed, however, is that without compensation for the lost equipment, this makes the background slightly less useful on certain races. Not necessarily enough to discourage it (OpFi is still a good start due to the shield), but less useful.
Since some races already get substitute items (and large species get robes), why not make it a bit more universal?
For example, OpFi would get a +2 hat and (maybe?) +0 shield of protection. Between the two that would yield approximately the same AC as scale mail.
Species that get robes could get +2 robes and a +2 hat to compensate, or the like.
Not necessarily 100% equal, but close enough.
Just a thought.
