Btw, given that you plan on being a party face, I'd recommend Actor or Inspiring Leader as your L4 feat. Actor gives you advantage on Bluff checks, the ability to imitate voices, and a couple other minor things, plus still lets you get +1 CHA. Inspiring Leader lets you buff the entire party with temporary bonus HP.
Other good options include:
Lucky - you basically get 3 D20 rerolls or forced enemy rerolls per day
Mobile - Increased Movespeed, you can Dash on difficult terrain, and you can disengage from anyone you melee attack without provoking AoO's
I would like certain aspects of my character to be a surprise when the time comes to reveal. There's nothing sinister written in my character sheet, I just feel like if you guys don't know who I am that you'll react more genuinely to things.

As creatively and some of you are telling a story in your actions.... I think I would have done this campaign a great injustice. I can act this stuff out IRL, but it seems I would have issues translating that over to typed words. Especially some of my more "interesting" expressions and quirks. I play oddball or crazy characters, and being able to just blankly stare at you while having my head cocked in a seemingly uncomfortable angle with mouth agape translates way better IRL.

Which... might be accurate. From a 300 pound pig you can get ~144 pounds of cuts of meat, or 48% of the live weight. Mind you this is removing feet, tails, bones (in some cases) and head, which can still be used for things. Also, pig not boar, but same type of animal. Way to guess very well, kaburi. oooh you guys can get roughly 20 pounds of bacon there.... from each animal.
I kinda wish that I had realized that my primary non-cantrip damage spell had a specific material requirement, so that I could have chosen something else.

Guess my ass. I looked up the average meat yield from a hog (they said 54%), then assumed I was using 300 pound boars. That let me roughly call it 1d20 x 10 pounds per boar; an average of 110 pounds, but the potential to get more depending on how skilled you are at butchering.
Then I decided that it would take 1d4 hours per boar to do the butchering, which was a completely grabbed from thin air number, but sounded good on paper. I then decided to make it require either Survival (which would imply knowing how to harvest food) or Nature (knowing animal anatomy) checks, but since pigs are a common food source and most people would have some experience with slaughtering animals in this time period/general world, it's only a DC 5 difficulty check.
There's way more thought going on here than need be.
I used the default 11 HP; I could have rolled them up (2d8+2, IIRC) but that seemed easier. I was also planning on using the fixed damage rather than rolling, except they never actually got to attack. Boars are easy to kill. You're not getting crap for XP out of these guys; I nerfed the encounter solely to use it as on-the-job training for how to run combat via forum.

Things I never thought I'd be googling: "how much meat do you get from a boar"
Also, when in doubt, roll d20s and multiply.

EDIT: Also, let the record state that combat lasted 3 rounds, so approximately 30 seconds.

We slaughtered them.
And now we're slaughtering them.

Then I actually started writing it up and realized I was wrong, because the boars had an AC of 11.
