 ===== Background ===== ===== Background =====
  
-A Background is special type of card that provides each PC with three entries: one each for [[combat|combat]], [[exploration|exploration]], and [[interaction|interaction]] [[scenario|scenarios]]. The exploration ​entry ensures that a player is always able to attempt to make progress against an [[obstacle|Obstacle]], while the other two entries typically provide niche abilities that either improve customization ​or grant flavor based on the theme of the Background.+Each [[PC|PC]] of [[level|level]] 1-5 has Background chosen as part of character creation. Backgrounds represent the backstory, culture, race and/or bloodline, childhood, and/or young adulthood of the character prior to the start of their adventuring career. As such, they cannot generally be changed once the game has started. Upon reaching level 6, however, the Background is replaced ​with [[destiny|Destiny]]. At this point in a character'​s careerwhere they came from is now much less important than where it is they are going. 
 + 
 +Each Background consists of a set of base [[stat track|Stat Track]] modifiers, effect text, and an [[exploration|exploration]] [[action|Action]]. Stat Track modifiers apply to all three scenario types. The effect text consists of various bonuses (and occasionally penalties) that may apply to one or more scenario types. The Action ​entry ensures that a player is always able to attempt to make progress against an [[obstacle|Obstacle]] ​regardless of [[gear|Gear]] ​or cards in hand.
  
-Each PC below level 6 chooses a Background as part of character creation. Backgrounds cannot be changed later, as they represent the backstory, childhood, and/or young adulthood of the character prior to the start of their adventuring career. Upon reaching level 6, however, the Background is replaced with a [[destiny|Destiny]]. At this point in a character'​s career, where they came from is now much less important than where it is they are going.
