WalkthroughThe pull request adds the Changeling Encounter background trait, its localization and tag, and rules text for selecting two backgrounds. It also corrects punctuation in the Romerol Disaster Survivor description. ChangesChangeling Encounter Background
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new Changeling Encounter background trait is localized and low-impact, but the updated rules currently state both that characters may have one and two backgrounds, which could lead to inconsistent player and moderator expectations. The documentation conflict should be corrected before merging, along with the requested ownership markers. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

A Background that just denies an antag isn't good. The other ones relevant to antags only come into play after the antag is outed already, IE Romerol Survivor. This one lets you meta to avoid antags. Also the logic given doesn't make sense, if you have enough clues to know to fight someone then they're being openly hostile, surely, so their status as ling or serial killer in maints doesn't matter just hit them with a toolbox if you get drugged or attacked. You don't need special knowledge to know following some random into maints is a bad idea. |

character may have two Backgrounds and use “which are picked”; also change the
remaining conflicting one-Background limit to two so all rules consistently
reflect the new limit.

Short description
Adds a Backgroud trait for having encountered changelings.
Why we need to add this
I hate getting ganked with clear context clues of lings for someone who knows them, without being able to IC-know to fight back until it's too late.
