BACKGROUNDS

Heroes in DINO-PIRATES OF NINJA ISLAND generally fall into one of four categories, each of which is represented by a particular Background: Ninjas, Dino-Pirates, Natives or Imperials.

A Background provides your character with two Bonus Feats, two Bonus Skills and two Favoured Feats. The Bonus Feats and Skills are freebies for taking the Background; they are in addition to all normal feats and skills your character receives for Role and Intelligence. The Favoured Feats are feats drawn from a particular Role's restricted list of feats. Any character with a given Background, no matter what their Role, may take these feats if they qualify for them in any other respect. That is, a feats restricted to Adepts can be taken by a character who has that feats on their list of Favoured Feats, even if they are not taking a level of Adept. If the feats has another requirement (minimum Ability score, for example), those requirements must be met in order for the character to take the feats.

Ninjas

Note that ninja warriors do not receive Martial Weapon Training; instead they may choose any Warrior feat as a fourth feat at first level.

Dino-Pirates
