Re: [HoE] Multiple Arcane Backgrounds



     Far be it for me to get in the way of a good character concept so as
long as he agrees that you can say no if he starts to get way out of hand
and tip-toe through munchkin land.  The others are right that characters
with multiple arcane backgrounds tend to have serious weaknesses in other
areas that can be pure Heaven for a Marshal to mess with ("The only hope you
have of defeating this completely invulnerable Abomination is to convince it
to leave this plane!!  Roll your Persuasion.  Oh...you don't haaaave
Persuasion.  Now don't that beat all?" ).
     My posse is usually pretty small and I don't like to run too many NPCs
to add to the group so the players try to cover all the bases with their
character but I don't think we've ever tried to do 2 ABs.  Great, he's
powerful in combat but for the rest of the time-- he's useless.
