 ====== Hunter Backgrounds and their changes ======
-* If you do not see background here, assume it is unchanged from the book.
+In Shadows over the south, lots of home brewing has had to be done to make Hunters work. They lack a clean 20th edition, and they are a very background heavy faction. Which doesn't always work when the backgrounds are more for RP and don't have a clear mechanical goal that can't be fixed by simply asking the council for help.
+As such, many of the backgrounds have had to be changed or home-brewed to work better in this setting. Most however, have had to be banned due to a multitude of reason. Most of which should be listed on the side of the ban.
 ====== Main book backgrounds ======
