I would rather not leave, but if retraining is not possible, then the party will be better off with Leothar replaced by a new PC, one informed by the AP experience to date and better designed to solve problems and cover our weaknesses. Leothar's inability to do anything other than damage were, in my view, a major factor in this dungeon being such an excruciating slog.
What do you have in mind?

Leothar |

I would not presume to think that I would be allowed to bring in another PC if Leothar dropped out.
I would suppose the GM would open recruitment or invite someone.

I'm not trying to be a curmudgeon, but you selected the Champion mythic path, which primarily does damage.
Edit: And you're aware of how hard it is to fill a spot in a long term game with someone who will post as regularly as you do. The GM did invite the two of us because he knew we would keep the game moving forwards.

Leothar |

I will explain when I have more time.
Were retraining allowed, I would change feats and mythic abilities. Same stats, race, deity, archetype, and path.
Still Champion, but with Mythic Paragon and Legendary Item.

While the choice is of course yours, I’ll miss Leothar being in the party and hope to game with you again if you end up not making a new PC.

If Leothar no longer is fun for you to play, then I wouldn’t ask you to stay with him, but sincerely believe you should be welcome to continue with a new PC. The point about finding a competent and regular player for game play at this level is certainly a valid one. I am trying to be regular and hope I’m at least reasonably competent, but I know I’m not at the level of the rest of this party.

Leothar |

I like Leothar a lot but I made him 4.5 years ago, for a 6-PC party, for a GM I had no experience with, with a subsystem I had no experience with, built to synergize tactics with a PC who is no longer here. I have learned a lot over that time about the context I am dealing with and so I would have done a lot differently.
I think rebuilding is far less disruptive to the story than replacement and it would also be my preference. Ultimately it is up to the GM.

Well, Christmas break is over now. I am exhausted which has made me cranky. I have been for a few months and was hoping to catch up over the break. I don't think it's going to get better any time soon. So unfortunately I am going to close this down as I can't give it what it needs.
I have been dreading this and putting it off but I think it is the thing to do. Thank you all for playing and putting up with me.

Leothar |

I'm sorry to hear that, Trawets, and I thank you for running the game as far as you did.
I am in games with almost all of you so will still see you around. Phntm888/Ardriel, I hope we get a chance to play together again.

Enos Flamebrother |

Very sorry, DM Trawets. I hope you find the time you need to catch up. That’s far more important than a game.
