New Background suggestions

[Beekeeper]

Inventor/Creator
Bonuses & Penalties: +2 Knowledge: Science, +2 Knowledge: Nature, -2 Knowledge: World, -2 Discipline
Special: Crafted resources last additional week.
Description: You always had a knack for innovations, either out of necessity, due to a god-given or natural talent or ingrained education.

Craftsman's Apprentice
Bonuses & Penalties: +2 Discipline, +1 Knowledge: Science, -2 Knowledge: Nature, -2 Sleight of Hand
Special: Bonus to the Reforging profession.

Forager
Bonuses & Penalties: +2 Knowledge: Nature, +1 Knowledge: World, -2 Diplomacy
Special: Bonus to the Herbalism profession.
Description: At home in the woods and at peace with its inhabitants, you have learned to bloodlessly traverse the wilds and live off the land.

Pillager
Bonuses & Penalties: +1 All Knowledges, -2 Barter
Special: Bonus to the Scavenging profession.
Description: Whether a prospector scouring the dark caves, a marauder stealing from the ruins you yourself put to the torch or merely a survivor - you are able to use what the others have left behind and have a keen eye for valuables. Your pastime is hardly pleasant to the civilized eyes.

Adept Brewer
Bonuses & Penalties: +2 Knowledge: Science, -2 Perception
Special: Bonus to the Alchemy profession.
Description: Able to tell the difference between an alembic and a retort, you're well-acquainted with the art of potion brewing. Years spent in a dimly lit room did no favors to your eyesight.

Law Enforcement
Bonuses & Penalties: +2 Sense Motive, +2 Perception, -2 Stealth
Special: Reroll your failed attempt to break disguise.
Description: A village militiaman, a son of the captain of the guard or a vigilante, your calling in life is law and order. Your experience enables you to easily discern suspicious individuals in the crowd and memorize their distinct traits.

Village Idiot
Bonuses & Penalties: -5 All Knowledges
Special: Bonus to all NPC reactions.
Description: Whether due to a birth defect or an unfortunate accident later in life, your intellect is notably deficient. Your condition evokes sympathy in most civilized people, who are willing to give you the benefit of the doubt in many circumstances.

Many of these feel too specific for what the Background Feats are meant to represent, though I like some of them! (But the bonuses and penalties are a bit too high)
I'll take the chance to add my recommendation that I discussed in Discord once, after feeling that there is no "Simple city person" background:

[Humble] Bonuses & Penalties: +1 Knowledge: World, +1 Barter, -1 Arcana, -1 Hide Special: Has a 5 minute lower cooldown when resting indoors. (Opposite of existing "Pariah" background) Description: Born and raised in a simple life, you don't stand out much from the crowd.​

Tried to make them as generalized as possible, some function similarly to the Inheritor and Disavowed. Might change the name of the Inventor to "Creator" to be less suggestive.
As for the bonuses, they're added as an example. Certain existing backgrounds are more lucrative when it comes to skills.

We might revisit backgrounds (in terms of adding new ones or changing values) some day, there's no real downside to that provided they can be made vague and generic enough to fit in (without too much overlap with existing options, of course), but at the time there's no concrete plans to do so. It's ultimately pretty low on our priority list, and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future.
