As I actually flesh out the character I think I may need to reallocate my stats...

Hmmmm... I might be interested (though I've never played Dn D, only read it). You still taking people?

I think I'm going to elaborate on the Cutie Mark rules a bit. The linked page suggests they modify relevant rules; I want to say that when you choose one you select three skills you think would be related, get a +1 to those, and those are the skills impacted by the outlined rules. That works?

That sounds good.

I have no idea what a Transmuter's Cutie Mark would be, though. A block of clay? An atom?

Yes Chabal we are. About three more.

Why not THE POWER OF ATOM? X3

An atom it is, then. Which is just as good, since I'm naming him after a kind of chemical bond.tongue

I very briefly considered Barack Obama's face.

Hmm...that reminds me, I need to pick out a Cutie Mark myself...

It surprises me to find that I just wrote that sentence.

Well, I told SOCR my character is probably going to end up being some sort of Derpi-fied version of Pinkie. I thought, what's the scariest-funniest cutie mark a mildly insane healer could have? A needle and thread. evil grin

I'm still fiddling around with the stats, though, so maybe she won't be killable via stiff breeze. [lol]

Well, let's hope so; otherwise, you'll be going around with a character who has precisely 1 hit point.

Hmm...what Cutie Mark would be suitable for a monk...and for that matter, I need to flesh out said monk's personality.

A flaming hoof?tongue

Also, changed my mind about my Cutie Mark. Gonna' go with three circles containing a rock, a raindrop, and a cloud.

That would bring up the question of what the pony did before our quest. One of those stunt acts with walking on coals?

So if I understood correctly...

3 5 5 = 13

6 6 6 = 18

4 3 5 = 12

4 6 5 = 15

3 4 5 = 12

6 2 6 = 14

Note the tongue emoticon.

But yeah, it was a stupid idea anyway.

I think what you have thus far is okay, bindle...though admittedly, my experience playing mages is rather lacking.

I've decided on a Cutie Mark for my character—a leaf, poised in perfect balance at the heart of a maelstrom. This represents the disciplined nature of the character, granting her a +1 bonus to Concentration, Balance and Listen checks and allowing her to take 10 on any of those three. Does that seem reasonable, SOCR?

Chabal seems to be our Rollmaster so far X3

Re-arranging my character, so, will have a new post instead of updating the old one

[up]+[up][up]Sounds good to me.

Awesome.

I'm presently working on writing down my monk's description; I'm not certain whether I should simply add it to my old post once I'm done, or simply copy-paste everything into a new post.

Okay, I think I'll make it a gryphon, seems better suited to the whole barbarian thing.

That and the Cutie Mark would have raised a few eyebrows.
