About this project
What does Origins: Backgrounds [Forge/NeoForge] add?
Adding a new layer to Origins!
With this mod, you can add a background to your character. Were they a fisher? A sailor? A cultist? It's all up to you. Each background comes with a small positive effect, small enough it won't upset the balance, even without a negative effect.
Backgrounds are their own type, so they won't be competing with your hundreds of Origins or Classes. In fact, you can have an Origin, a Class and a Background, similar to a popular TTRPG.
Origins (NeoForge) is required for NeoForge
Due to personal views stated by IAFEnvoy, this project will no longer be updated.
Origins is required. For Forge
Origins: Classes is optional, but recommended.
