[thaelis]

My humble suggestion for character backgrounds (if it ever becomes technically possible):

High Society
Choose any two of:
Diplomacy, Knowledge (nobility), Perform

Religious
Choose any two of:
Heal, Knowledge (religion), Knowledge (planes)

Arcane
Choose any two of:
Alchemy, Knowledge (arcana), Spellcraft

Slum Denizen
Choose any two of:
Bluff, Intimidate, Knowledge (local)

Forest Dweller
Choose any two of:
Move silently, Knowledge (nature), Survival

Mountain Dweller
Choose any two of:
Climb, Knowledge (nature), Survival

Merchant
Choose any two of:
Appraise, Knowledge (geography), Knowledge (local)

Lorekeeper
Choose any two Knowledge skills

Circus Performer
Choose any two of:
Balance, Jump, Tumble

Seafarer
Choose any two of:
Balance, Knowledge (geography), Swim

Typical
Choose any one skill except Spot/Listen/Disable device/Open lock/Use magic device


If I missed any skills you would like please reply below!

(I intentionally didn't include Spot/Listen because stealth-perception is pretty unbalanced already. Also didn't include Open lock/Disable device/UMD since I think those should be Rogue only)

It is possible, I know at least one other server has done something like this. However, it would probably require more people involved in the dev side right now. We've got a huge slate of things to work on, and additional systems to add.
