New players welcome, most especially our recent pony addition

Its always some level of nuts in this thread, and this moment does not disappoint.
All kinds of things have happened, the result of which is that with over a week passing in meat-space the party is still right where they left off at.
Tracy is venturing to the mountains with her floofy-faced, hutungous birbs in an oversided wagon, hoping to give them a chance to have a moment with their biological father.
Trump, for some reason, is quite butt-hurt by this. What? Its true,....
Thez is enjoying the first decent night's sleep in over a week, Infernius contemplates (((genocide))) (does it work in that context? I mean he's contemplating their genocide of course), and Torcuil learns that Death is a pretty cool chick with a morbid sense of humor in an absurd job that you wouldn't think is a job, but its literally a job. So yeah, next time he wants to hit her up, just blow ur brains out or something.
Last thread got to over 1800 posts <trumpet fanfare> but that shit is impossible on mobile and cumbersome at best otherwise so,....

Yes. Even more Str.
He'd lose like 2 more Int though (total brainlet), but the fact that the new shape would have lower Int is what'd make the change permanent, with the Polymorph Any Object spell.

*creatures or objects
Also, polymorph spells can't grant Su or spell-like abilities.
I read on a blog you can change a creature's race/species entirely with a carefully-worded Wish, but it's more than likely to go haywire if you try to turn it into a creature more useful than it already is.
>>54998
Should be the base stats of the new form. I'd use the base stat-modifiers for monstrous humanoids and fey. There isn't much else, because it's simply inadvisable change a creature into a non-humanoid shape, unless you're trying to attack it by simulating the affects of Baleful Polymorph.

It'd only be useful in a permanent sense for changes into less intelligent creatures that way. You could turn a shrew into a manticore for only a week, but the inverse is permanent, primarily because the manticore had more Intelligence.
That's why it isn't generally used in attempt to morph characters.

I deleted the following because I thought it was poorly-worded and possibly misleading. May as well repost:

How to craft your own Maud Pie
Step One: Cract an oversized Maud Statue
>carved a large stone statue of a heavy warhorse out of high-quality granite
>Be sure to decorate your Maud, with features of the pony in question
>Enchant statue over the course of 15 days to craft a Stone Horse (destrier)
>Though unintelligent, maud is a fully-functioning stone creature, capable of restoring her health by eating gems and minerals
Step 2: Animate your Maud
>Cast Animate Objects on your Maud and afflict her with Permanency, to allow her to move freely even when her ability to move as an item is not active
>Your Maud is now treated as a construct of large size and Neutral Alignment with 4 hit dice, and is capable of making powerful Trample attacks
>Being a former inanimate object, Maud's personality may seem bland to those who don't know her well
Step 3 Shrink and harden Maud down to fun size
>Use the Hardening spell to increase Maud's density
>Since Maud is composed of mineral substances, her body will shrink down to pony size (medium), but will still be just as heavy and tough as rock
Step 4: Awaken her
>Your Maud can be transformed into a Heavy Warhorse (medium size), with the Stone To Flesh spell. Conventional magick works on her, and she can be healed by using the same healing spells you'd use on a normal horse, since she is treated as a living creature of the Animal subtype
>In animal state, enchant her over the course of 24 hours with the Awaken spell
>This spell will transform Maud into a sentient talking "animal" (magical beast), increasing her charisma and intelligence levels
Step 5: Make a Wish
>As with all Epic golems, Maud must be Wished to life to attain her maximum potential
>With a well-worded wish, combine the various enchantments that you've placed on Maud to turn her into a unique, sapient being with super-scored abilities
>Your Maud is now her own, independent creature, with herculean Strength, tough-as-rock natural armor

Stats:
>18 Str
>13 Dex
>17 Con
>3d6 Int (depending on how well your Awakening worked)
>13 Wis
>6 +1d3 Char (again, Awaken)
Maud's Int, Char, and Wis could be higher, depending on how much XP is spent in giving her Intelligence (as an item) through the Wish......

Aaaaand, I'm done typing out this bullshit for now. I was just looking through the meta to teach myself stuff, and I used that as an exercise. It still seems like I don't know what the Tartarus I'm doing though.

Meh, it's still incomplete.
You'd still need a high-level Cleric or Druid with enough knowledge ranks to give her the physical and mental abilities of the real Maud.
Maud is one of the strongest, fastest and smartest ponies in all of Equestria. I was mostly just looking to see how non-epic spells could be combined to create more powerful creatures.

That's because of the knowledge ranks.
Through the Life seed. Casters with enough ranks in knowledge of Religion or Nature can give greater-than-humanoid sentience and life to any creature/object. Such epic seeds would be necessary to create a truly living, breathing, growing creature made of stone, that couldn't just be robbed of it's enchantments.
This Maud, in her prototype form is merely an awakened warhorse that likes eating rocks
Arcane magick is great for creating things too though. No epic-level golem can be enchanted without a proper Wish.
The process of creating an artifact-tier Maud-golem would be better off as a Ritual with multiple different types of spellcasters contributing 9th lvl spell slots.

The problem I’m facing with this type of degree is that I seem to be largely self taught. They give me a programming problem, give a tip or two on how it is solved, then sit back and watch until I finish and the cycle repeats. It gets frustrating as it feels I could get an equal education if I taught myself over the resources available online, most of which is free. But companies don’t want you unless you got that pretty piece of paper. I hope to start my own business someday as well in order to keep (((corporate))) from telling me what to do 24/7.

Yeah, don't get me started on the pretty piece of paper. Well, I know of individuals who would study additional courses while taking their regular classes, and then would challenge those additional courses without attending a single class. If the material is largely self-taught, then there might be ways of utilizing your own specialties and proclivities to accelerate your schooling?
