Re: [HoE] Multiple Arcane Backgrounds
Okay, I promised myself I wouldn't weigh in on this thread, but here I go...
All right. This is the official stance, as I understand it. Generally
speaking, one cannot have two Arcane Backgrounds. This is because once one
starts channeling energy from the Hunting Grounds through one's meridians one
way, one can't channel energy another way.
Now, the main exception of this is Greenies. You can be a Greenie Templar, for
example. I suspect that this is because (IMHO) the Greenies aren't normal
sykers per se, but some form of mutant. Also, Junkers can also be Hucksters
given the whole Son of Siltgreaves connection. There is vague mention of
Doomie Junkers in the Doomie book, but that's more clearly left up to GM
discretion.
Now, personally, I'd allow someone to be something else and a Greenie, but
aside from that, multiple AB are a no-no.

(Of course, Siltgreaves was apparently, at one time, a Mad
Scientist/Huckster/Shaman/proto-Junker, but that's neither here nor there.)
