Since this build relies on a heavy amount of role playing implications, there aren’t going to be a ton of concrete choices for background and races. They do however recommend you go for Urchin or Sage, and Halfling or Githyanki respectively. When reaching max level, you’ll be able to manipulate the flow of combat with moves such as Haste, Slow, and Hold.
