Bindle, when I find the Self Confidence Stick I'm going to give you a sound beating. Don't worry about it X3

You're the second person this week to say something like that. Am I really that self-concious?

Anyway, is there any specific format that you want me to submit my character in?

You could try to imitate a statsheet with the post formatting but as long as it's legible it's cool.

I'll have 'em up tommorrow. Gonna' go with a unicorn transmuter.

Would you mind if I used the Immediate Magic alternate class feature from Player's Handbook 2?

Could you post a short description? I'm still torrenting to finish out my book collection. Probably wont be a problem.

Aside from the obvious concern of Plot, which I'd still like some input on (probably some sort of overarching MacGuffin deal) my current sticking point is weapon mechanics, though we could go with the current carry-in-mouth deal. Ranged weapons could be modified for easier use, as the pages suggest, though I could also be a little more lenient and say unicorns and pegasi can use them without penalty (pegasus if hovering and unicorns can extend Mage Hand)

Alright.

Immediate Magic gives you a spell-like ability based on which school you specialise in. Since he's a transmuter, he'll get Sudden Shift, which grants him a climb, fly, or swim speed equal to his land speed. The effect lasts until the end of his turn. It'll most likely be ineffective for travelling long distances.

It comes at the cost of a familiar, though it probably won't be much of a loss.

So, is it good?

Sure, go for it.


Preliminary creation rules:

  • No evil alignments
  • All starting gold not spent is lost
  • Cannot purchase martial weapons in your starting equipment, and light armor only. There will be chances to procure weapons and armor IC. (Hooves work for Unarmed Strike, Unicorns get their horn as a Natural Weapon.)
  • Starting feat cannot be a weapon proficiency or combat related
  • 'Ride' skill will be reversed; how well you can move with a passenger.
  • Pegasi automatically gain the 'Hover' feat in addition to their starting feat.

Oooh, a 3.5 game... where we play as ponies.

Count me in, count me so goddamn in. Maybe I'll play a monk, except I as of yet have to play a monk that works too well. Hm.

I may need some help in the Character Creation process to as I haven't played 3.5ed in years, not since 4ed came out.

[4 - [[Spoiler: 2]] - 4 - 5] = 13

[3 - 6 - 5 - 3 = 14

[5 - 3 - 2 - 5] = 13

[6 - 4 - 1 - 6] = 16

[3 - 6 - 2 - 2] = 11

[6 - 4 - 4 - 6] = 16

I'm thinking of doing an Earth Pony Bard...

I'm somewhat keen on ponified D&D standard, but Equestria is not a bad choice either.

I'll probably be playing an Earth Pony Monk. Here are the results of my ability score rolls, unassigned and without having selected which one I'm going to give the Earth Pony's +2 racial bonus:

[3, 6, 1, 2]=11
[5, 5, 3, 3]=13
[4, 6, 5, 1]=15
[5, 3, 3, 5]=13
[5, 6, 6, 6]=18(!)
[1, 6, 1, 4]=11

I'd prefer Equestria, but ponified D&D sounds interesting.

Mysty is going to be A Unicorn Healer. With 2 Str and 6 Con. Our entire RP may as well be one long escort quest X3

So we have two earth ponies, two unicorns a pegasus and a griffin? I think we can say we're set at 8-10. I'm trying to outline a quest that is both epic or dire in feeling an potentially entirely non-combat. Probably means we'll be in a ponified non-Equestria setting.

I'd post my character sheet too, if I knew how to do any of the formatting correctly.

I just need to know how to do what you and SOCR did with your sheets. I know I don't have to, but your way seems more efficient than what I was going to do.

Basically, I just used the wiki's title system to add sections and points to the sheet, then transcribed what I had written down elsewhere into wherever it was appropriate. Creating titles is like creating bullet-points, only instead of placing one to three * at the start of a line, you use ! instead. For example, typing '! This is a title' on its own line will get me

This is a title.

Similarly, adding a second ! gives me a subtitle...

And a third will divide that section even further!
