     And I think this is why there seems to be more than a little confusion
about the whole multiple AB issue.  Yep, the official stance is "No" but
then we get instance after instance where it can and does happen.  In a way,
it just goes to show that role-playing companies are a lot like most of us
GMs.  No, you can't have your character have double Arcane Backgrounds.  But
I'm the Marshal.  I can do what I want to and my characters do if I say they
do.  Mwuahhaaaahaaaa.
