I made the above pic to show or try to explain how the Rpg design process feels.
Go read the 13th Age RPG and how they do skills/backgrounds.
Narrative description: I was a page for a minor noble at court as a tween. +4
Encompasses: languages used by foreign nobles visiting, realm politics, heraldry, diplomatic history, who's who, etc.
I grew up as a farm kid. +3
Encompasses: growing food, animal husbandry, provisioning, selling goods at market, food storage, taxation, repairing common breakages.
13th Age is an alternate direction dnd 5e could've gone in 2014 and is packed with some great innovations. Check it out.
Thanks, I will!
