Player Option--Regional Backgrounds

This is an optional document that players can use if they choose. This is in addition to the regular background and helps me better pin a character to the world.

Pick a region allowed for your race (see Player Option--Variant Races). You gain proficiency in the item listed under common proficiency and one of the other listed proficiencies of your choice. If you already have proficiency in the common item from your race or background, you gain proficiency in the item listed after the slash instead. If multiple are listed for a category, choose one.
