Hello all!

Balbo has taken the night off. No worries. I’m here, and I have plenty to tell you.

My name is Kevin, and I am a Chronicler. I am a well-known scribe and storyteller. My mastery is in fantasy and urban fantasy fiction.

Oh, fantasy is your favorite, too? That’s great!

A New Class has Been Brewed

If you enjoy playing fantasy RPG games and have played them long enough, you are aware of something called homebrew. See, sometimes it’s fun to add things to the games you play. In many cases, game masters have created classes of their own for their players to try. One such class you can find listed on tomes across the web is the Chronicler.

I find it an excellent fit, myself.

The Chronicler is like the Bard. You can think of it as a subclass or an offshoot. Maybe it’s a bard, but instead of signing the stories, the Chronicler is writing them down to save for prosperity.

Weapons and Armor

Like the Bard, the Chronicler wears light armor. Often cloth or leather. They are not a combat-facing character, so they do not need heavy or bulky armor.

Since the Chronicler likes to avoid combat, he carries the basics. Similar to casters, they can equip a dagger, club, sling, blow gun, or a very large and heavy book, which, when swung correctly, can really knock an imp or small goblin off its feet.

Never forget that the Chronicler is always armed with their words.

Magic

The magic is in the writing and the ability to tell stories. Through their skills with words, the Chronicler may help your team by offering a distraction or obfuscating the enemy. Perhaps you will have them manipulate others into aiding you or giving you discounts on gear. Hey, most of the time the Chronicler is telling the truth; their credibility depends on it. But hey, what writer hasn’t stretched the truth?

Races

All races!

Anyone with a pen and paper can become a Chronicler. Yes, even you, zombie man, as long as you keep enough fingers on your hand to hold that feather quill. Oh, your thumb rotted off recently? So, sorry. 😉

Backgrounds

Like the Bard, Urban Bounty Hunter is great for the fun customization. However, Couturier is great if your Chronicler is the team’s face, and added languages are equally helpful. Urchin also works for those Chroniclers who are a little more underhanded.

Who should play a Chronicler?

Are you a Game Master who has a Gamer Master?

You know what I mean. You play in two groups. One group you lead, while the other you follow. Or maybe you like to trade off GM responsibilities. Those who have been GMs long enough normally fall into one of two categories. They always want to be a GM, or they want to try something new from time to time.

If you find yourself taking a break from being a Game Master and want to play it calmly and quietly from the back row, yeah, that works too.

Hey, maybe you are the kind of gamer who wants to sit back and enjoy watching the other gamers get their game on. Or maybe all the wetworks are not your vibe. Nothing wrong if you want to be the face of the group, do the talking, draw the maps, and keep track of the events, not be elbow deep in whatever that giant slimy green thing was.

If you said, “Yes, that’s me!” then you might want to give this class a try.

The pen can be mightier than the sword, but we suggest you carry a dagger as a backup plan. You know… just in case.

Tabletop Beard Gives the Chronicler Great Reviews

Tabletop Beard has partnered with its resident Award-winning writer, Kevin James Breaux, to create the Chronicler scent.  The Chronicler features the wonderful scent of Honeysuckle and Morning Dew and was designed to be enjoyed by all.

Give it a try. The first impression is soft honeysuckle, sweet and golden like wild blooms catching the light of a late spring morning. Fresh dew follows, cool and clean, carrying the feeling of green grass beneath your boots and rain still clinging to the leaves. Beneath it all are gentle green undertones, grounding the fragrance with the calm freshness of a meadow just after spring rain.

Designed for those who gather stories, follow winding paths, and notice the details others pass by, Chronicler wears like a page filled with sunlight and quiet discovery. 

Yes! You will see beard quest gains with the right beard care products from Tabletop Beard.

Remember this.

Sticks and stones may break your bones, but the Chronicler’s words and stories will elevate your team with an excellent boost while equally demoralizing your enemies.
