A D&D RP game based on My Little Pony, and the Hearts of Iron 4 mod Equestria at War, featuring an Equestria where the Princesses have been deposed, and Equestria is split between Changelings and a former Equestrian colony
Thus far, Dark Star has joined the fascist faction, and is taking on a job to assemble a team to stop a Communist cell. Onyx is no longer being detained, Ash has sort of joined a nunnery, Iron has joined the Waterside gang as a loanshark, Brie is still being edgy, and a new unicorn has joined. All are ready to reconnoiter the Docks.

That'll work, though unless you have RP reasons to do otherwise, I'd use one of those 16s for Intelligence

Redclaw's talons rip at Iron's flesh and do damage, causing him to fail in his quest to keep Redclaw down

Also, here are the racial adjustments for the Unicorn race
Unicorn:
+2 intelligence, -2 strength
+2 will save
Can perform Arcane magic
Telekinesis, up to 90 pounds, at will
One free skill at maximum - 8 skill points at level 5

Int really isn't that important to fighters though.
He placed them in Strength, Dex, Con, and Wis: his most important stats.

That is it. He had enough of this griffon's stubborness. His honor was wounded and now he's angered further, not caring for a fair fight. He rolls a swim check to swim faster yet again and now adds up +4 damage on his punch and explicitly target the wings, so that the cowardly bird cannot fly away if he reaches out the water.

He's not an overly-intelligent pony, nor does has he had much reason to change that. He's not stupid, and his status as a unicorn helps that fact. He just needs to know how to fight, and what fights he needs to get into.

Iron's attack lands and draws blood in the water. The Griffon realizes now he is in full combat. He lets himself float in place in the water, and quickly draws his trusted Machete. With both claws he grips it, and makes two swings
Maybe you should look at two handed fighting, so you can make more attacks

Yeah, but then he'd have to dump another Stat.
I wouldn't trade Wis for Int if I were a fighter.
Besides, he doesn't have very many skills to pick from anyway. Nobody needs more than 5 ranks in Jump, so all he'd need would be to put the rest in Intimidate.

Yeah, but the less skill you have, the more you depend on random chance to help you out, so pick wisely. However, do not go for dexterity skills if you're going for a figher unless your dex is high and don't plan using any armor.

>However, do not go for dexterity skills if you're going for a figher unless your dex is high and don't plan using any armor.
I wasn't planning on it. If it was allowed, I was going to have my character start out with some heavy armor, and I kinda figured it would be pointless to invest in anything that would already be hampered so much.

You can have a sort of heavy armor, I would just like it to.... make sense in a sort of WW2 context. For example, a character's Chain shirt light armor is a standard Airman's flakjacket

You can try to sunder his weapon. Please note that in order to attempt a sunder, first your opponent must fail to damage you on his attack of opportunity. That is, he will try to stab you with his Machete in a free attack with his +11 bonus. If his attack fails, you must then make an opposed attack roll against his weapon. He gets a +4 bonus because he is wielding his machete two handed. So if he fails to hit you on his attack of opportunity, and then if you win against his opposed attack roll, which he will have a +5 total advantage on, then you can damage his weapon. Please note that just because you do damage to his weapon doesn't mean that you have done enough damage to shatter it, so you may still fail even if you win the first two steps.
>>70915
The other players are in a sort of mass combat encounter, so your character would start off separately. The first four characters all had their own little adventures on their own, one joining a nunnery, another joining a gang and doing enforcer work loan sharking, another joining the federal police as a deputy, and a another killing a gangster who was threatening a shop keeper for protection money, then being detained for questioning over it, and then being arrested on suspicion of being a changeling spy.

The buildings in downtown are fairly large. A few 10+ story office buildings stand in a strand in teh central business district. 3 to 5 floor apartment buildings and department stores dominate most everywhere else in the densest locations, while more than a few factory smokestacks protrude in most directions on the horizon. This is a modern industrial city. It is not nearly as big as Manehattan. It is not as glamorous as Canterlot, nor as wealthy as Los Pegasus, but it remains the Urban cornerstone of the Equestrian Southeast. Think of it as a poor-mare's Manehattan. No.... that title belongs to Fillydelphia. Maybe think of it as a poor-mare's Fillydelphia

All he needs is a room, a bath, and some employment suiting his abilities. In this pursuit, he continues the search, looking for a place where the owner would have some information for him.

One thing you'll learn about Baltimare is that basic fire safety is rarely followed. There is exactly one point of entry or exit to this room, and that is the door you are looking through
"Oh, only 100 bits a month"

"Alright, ma'am, you need to leave this building"
From behind the officer is another voice
"This area is closed, please back away"

The policemare looks incredibly startled, and then backs away slowly.

This slightly worries Silver for entirely different reasons, but he sets it aside to look at Glass after he mentions the price. "Not bad...I think I will take it." He levitates a pouch of Bits out of his saddlebags towards him, marked with a white streak. "He should be first month's payment."

The road that way is dark, with only a few lamps illuminating it. A very loudblack and white car rushes towards you, and stops diagonally on the roadway. More police, you can tell.

He nods again and makes his way there without another word. He doesn't take much time in there, but despite that he's managed to make himself look civilized compared to how he looked previously: his light grey coat is shiny and healthy, broken only by a hooffull of scars that are too big to have fur regrow over them, and his dark grey mane and tail, partially age-greyed, are now properly groomed, and he's wearing some simple dark pants and a clean white button-up shirt, along with his greatsword in its sheath, and his saddlebags. Immediately after, he seeks out Glass to see if he has anything else to give him on any potential employment.

"Sounds very...interesting, I guess is word for it. I will have to keep eyes and ears open for this 'Dark Star'." Silver grumbles a bit at the name, mulling it over in his mind for the faintest clue as to if he's heard of him before, but he turns up nothing. He gives up after a minute or so, choosing instead to look at the selection of drinks the bar has available.

The top of the list contains a number of basic beers that you could reasonably expect any Equestrian bar to serve, largely from the mid-equestrian regions. They also have a malt from the barely of South Severyana, liquors, ciders, and some sort of off brand whiskey. Incredibly, they have wines from Aquellia and Blackjack whiskey from Skyfall on the list, though at vastly greater prices due to the embargo

"You do very well for what I imagine isn't exactly best neighborhood in Baltimare." Silver considers the menu some more. "How about some whiskey, if you don't mind?

From what I have seen myself, it is regime using ponies' own sense of injustice and their own naivety to gain power, wealth, and influence.

"But, it is not my land, and they are not my people. Not anymore. It is land of these...Communists, now." The word doesn't seem to roll naturally off the tongue for him, as if it's completely foreign. "As far as whatever they decide to call it, it does not matter to me anymore. My father is dead, my family, if they are still alive, are somewhere in what was once Equestria. I have no ties left to the 'Motherland'."

I've always imagined the primary theology in Equestria would be monastic and centered around the worship of Celestia and Luna as living deities. Not exactly the ideal place for Clerics, I would assume.

Well, it was more of a technical issue.
Clerics in particular need to have a direct covenant with their dieties to receive their Granted Powers. I wasn't certain if it would work the same way if the gods were somehow incapacitated; for that matter, I wasn't sure what rank (if any) Celestia and Luna wonder.
At least with a Druid, you don't necessarily have to have all your spells granted from your deity, although you may depending on the circumstances.

I wonder if kirins wouldn't just have their own deity/set of deities, as collectively they're not a part of Equestrian society and wouldn't have the same connection to Celestia and Luna that most ponies have.

Class features seem to be similar so far; although some may seem a bit obsolete due to the presence of firearms and automatic weaponry.

I'm not really sure at all, tbh.
Since I'm a Druid, I can only wear non-metslic armor, which restricts me to leather, hide, and dragonscale. My armor doesn't work in Wildshape unless it's specially made (Wild Armor, about 9000 gp). Druids are also resticted from wearing mundane/deep Crystal as well, so idk what armors would break code of conduct in this case, or what exist.

I saw that when I read up on the Druid class. Wooden armor seems interesting, especially for a kirin, once you get the Ironwood spell. Speaking of, as it says it's restricted to level 6 Druids, is there leveling in this game?

I imagine a lack of bipedal creatures would mean that barding here just works as normal armor, and costs the same.

There should be some leveling, yes, although I am uncertain how quickly. The math used for determining experience in 3.5 I found on one site pretty much implies that grinding is impossible and only battles that have a very serious chance of character death give xp - and then, not that much, and I have to wonder how any character ever survives to level up.
Keeping the characters not-significantly more powerful than their surroundings, at least for the moment, is a part of my anti-murder hobo mechanisms, anyways

I found this calculator online (I've used it before for metafaggotry purposes); it's decent for encounter experience.
Certain situations may increase the effective CR of encounters/traps/mysteries too though.
