==Parts of a Background==
<ref name="srd52.83" /> A background includes the following parts
===Ability Scores===
<ref name="srd52.83" /> A background lists three of your character’s {{5e24lc|Ability Score}}s. Increase one by 2 and another one by 1, or increase all three by 1. None of these increases can raise a score above 20.
===Feat===
<ref name="srd52.83" /> A background gives your character a specified {{5e24|Origin Feat}} (described in “{{5e24|Feat}}s”).
===Skill Proficiencies===
<ref name="srd52.83" /> A background gives your character {{5e24lc|Proficiency}} in two specified {{5e24lc|Skill}}s.
===Tool Proficiency===
<ref name="srd52.83" /> Each background gives a character proficiency with one {{5e24lc|Tool}} — either a specific tool or one chosen from the {{5e24|Artisan's Tools}} category. Tools are detailed in “{{5e24|Equipment}}.”
===Equipment===
<ref name="srd52.83" /> Each background offers a choice between a package of {{5e24lc|Equipment}} and 50 {{5e24|GP}}.
