The real, true hero of the show
He has multiple girls into him despite being awkward at time, he has high Cha.
Yeah, he was a condescending sexist prick to the Kiyoshi warriors (initially), and while it did earn him some beatings, it didn’t get him a restraining order and he even got with Suki in the end. That’s high CHA alright.
Right? His main squeeze met him by kicking his ass over sexist comments. Classic Bard shit.
I don’t know about you, but to me, the fact that he showed genuine humility and willingness to step beyond his initial chauvinism (after some hands-on lessons about fighting women) had a lot more to do with that than his charm.
His CHA was high enough that he kept rolling low and saying silly things and it still was good enough.
Like when the character is more charismatic than the player. “I don’t know what to say in this situation, but I rolled well!”
Let my socially awkward peeps play a bard if they want to, damn
