Last chapter of Leyfarers was pirate themed. At the end of every chapter we have things that unlock depending on our actions. (It's a custom written adventure / world setting for the ~180 people in the group, at a brewpub themed to be a building in the world) We had a challenge where new races would unlock depending on how many people would post a memory from the adventure in Discord. If we got 140 Leyfarers to participate, we'd unlock Otterfolk. Not everyone is on Discord so it was a challenge.
Every since advisor got in on trying to wrangle our groups to post. We hit... 140/140. Margin of zero. Literally every member we got to post was needed. The new player's guide hasn't posted yet, but I am 100% retiring Alec and rolling an Otterfolk at the end of this chapter.
I should have rerolled my main sooner. I play a Barbarian with Charisma as a dump stat. At first it gave some character to him, especially since he thought he was great at telling stories. But I am so tired of playing a low charisma character. Part of the problem is that I like tracking lore and details. So, when we need to interact with an NPC to get trust, I try to use that tracking to help convince them... and then get told to roll Cha. So, no matter how good I am at knowing things, doesn't matter because NPCs wont ever trust me. This is not fun and doesn't reward my playstyle. I should have rerolled sooner, but I get attached to my characters and also was trying to outplay the debuff, take it as a challenge. It just wasn't working.
So, I am going to roll a high Cha Otterfolk. Probably a sorcerer/thief multi-class. I want to present as not-a-thief, but have most of my levels in thief. I was considering being 'just a bard', but I think a 'wandering sorcerer, just trying to progress, learn new spells' will make for a better build. Having literally 1 in bard and 14 in thief would be fun, but I am also trying to have a more effective build this time. I can reroll at my current level if I permanently retire Alec and... all his acquired bonuses from two years of play. Thaaaat's going to suck.
Still need to figure out a name and backstory. Problem with world settings of mostly egalitarian societies, is that it makes certain backstories tricky. I like the idea of being from a small, hidden enclave and being out to get treasures for us, make the hidden space we hang out in cooler. Maybe flesh out a few side characters.
Anyway, Otterfolk! Us advisors made a whole project of hitting the goal for the unlock and I intend to enjoy the unlock. A LOT of higher level characters are talking about rerolling, so the Leyfarers might be about to have a fuzzy invasion.
