In some cases, it may make more sense to use the character’s Cha mod -1 to determine the nature of the relationship, or to decide on a result based on how the rest of the story has come together. Some relationships have their starting state determined by a die roll. I’ve always liked how Apocalypse World and Blades in the Dark playbooks offer named characters, and start to sketch out ways that two PCs might have utterly different outlooks on them. Multiple backgrounds connect to the same characters, as a way to strengthen their sense of reality in the setting. Your relationships with them might be positive, negative, or ambiguous. I’m also introducing named Contacts as people who matter to your character.
Debts are given as per-month commitments, and end when the DM feels you’ve paid enough (probably not less than 6 months in any case). New possessions are presented as packages that include debts and obligations, as more ways to hook characters into the settlement’s social structure. Why they can’t do this is left as an exercise to the reader, but if that’s what you want to do, this add-on isn’t right for you in the first place. There is no significant effort to make them equal in monetary value, and your character should not be able to liquidate these possessions and take off for an itinerant life.
The new items, creatures, and so forth offered here are in addition to what you receive from your Background. I’m not trying to describe every VIMLE couch and HEMNES bookshelf (you can go play Skyrim for that), but I want to give out things that express character, offer new solutions to problems, or suggest stories to explore. Handing you a ready-made justification for your superior martial skills, it suits the Fighter of the party who boasts superior combat aptitude than their travelling companions. You have a permanent address and Ikea furniture. Fighting, scrapping, and battling the Soldier 5E is one of the easier D&D backgrounds to integrate into a character. You grew up in the city that is the main game location, or you have a job that brings you into contact with useful people. Maybe you want to emphasize backgrounds as key pieces of character identity. On the other hand, maybe your campaign involves urban investigation, intrigue, or social advancement. In that case, expanding background assets would be a complete waste, and this post isn’t for you. You’re playing wanderers, sellswords, not to say murderhoboes, and a broader base of social and material assets will at best be in a town halfway across the continent. For many campaigns, this is fine and appropriate. In D&D 5e, Backgrounds grant a modest assortment of equipment and a pocketful of starting cash.
