[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 8672564, member: 87792"] So once again the fighter is getting a house ruled class feature and a universe that deliberately be is warped round him. I mean the bard is using their charisma and their actions to take and promote random NPCs scattered around the world. Meanwhile you are literally custom-crafting NPCs and by doing so twisting your setting in order to keep the fighter socially relevant. If the mayor is an elected mayor they almost certainly have more in common with the bard than the fighter. Skill on the battlefield is not how you become mayor - and seeking popularity and performing may be. Meanwhile the role of mayor is basically a glorified administrator. There is absolutely nothing inherent in the role of mayor that says they should prefer fighters to any other class. The only reason this one does is because you have invented him specifically to have talks with the fighter. Yes as the DM you can by fiat and by putting a thumb on the scales make anyone relevant. But please don't pretend that this is anything other than you playing favourites. And there is no mental tally the DM must (or IMO even should) do. The main reason you feel the need to do one is that you know the fighter falls short. [/QUOTE]
