You get it because you are that class. So  since dnd 5e classes don't pair for it. I am not  going to make the Anime 5e classes pair for  it if they want take one.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I argue that they do.  It doesn't come out of their Discretionary Points, perhaps, but if we take the developers at their word each class works out to 200 Points over the course of twenty levels.  I do wish they'd been more diligent in<em>reporting</em>the scores they assigned to attributes like Sneak Attack.  However,<em>they</em>claim they mathed it out, using some kind of multiplier over the breadth of the caster's spell lists, and got everyone to 200 points.<em>Part</em>of those 200 points, for the classic classes, in the 4 points allocated to Background Skills.<br/><br/>Handing out Backgrounds to the Anime Classes is basically undervaluing the traditional classes by 4 points.<br/><br/>Similarly, if you ruled that all characters were Proficient in Simple and Martial Weapons, you'd be undercutting the buy-in of martial classes.
