A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

All of the usual forum rules apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

@Star Oh. Well, I thought the episode was decent. The way that Rainbow Dash knew her stuff was, a bit questionable, because I thought it would be a bit more subtle but I thought it was solid.

So, what up?

@Marcen I've bought the second volume of the comic series, and now I'm just playing Mario Sunshine right now on my Gamecube.

@Lemster: Given how popular the show is, I'm assuming some of them must have been locked at some point. The main page was locked as a troll target a while back, but it doesn't really matter because all the of the content is on the subpages anyway.

Also, now that we know that Twilight can teleport objects without teleporting herself, any realistic battle would be trivially easy: teleport a bomb into the enemy base.

@Star Cool. Gotta play some more Ride To Hell and Sonic Gen. But, right now, I'm watching Rap Critic.

Wizards are OP in everything, unless the normal fighters have superpowers that put them on the same level.

@Marcen "Rap Critic"? Is that where Doug Walker starts rapping to an Enimen song? tongue

Was there ever a point where any of the MLP pages had to be locked?

Yes.

Or was that a joke? lol.

I'm beginning to see your point about how OP wizards are. The wizard in my campaign dealt 35 damage over two turns in our last session. At level 3. Turned a boss monster into dust before we even had a chance to register whether it was tough or not. Meanwhile I can still barely hit anything. Getting closer though

Actually direct damage is what Wizards are worst at. Unless you're talking about a 3.5 Mailman or something, but even then Sorcerors are better.

It sounds like the problem is more that everyone else is low op. Plus you got crippled by the DM's stupid houserules if I remember correctly.

What's the difference between a wizard and a Mage if there is any?

In D&D, Wizard is a specific class. Other classes include Sorceror, Warlock, Warmage. There is no class that is simply called Mage though.

I think it depends on the game/show/story.

They're different classes with different abilities.

Oh there's also a Witch class.

Wizard and Sorceror are the most notable though since they're core (and the most powerful at tier 1 and 2 respesectively)

What's the difference between Wizards, Sorcerers, Mages and Witches in D&D specifically?

I can only speak for Pathfinder(Which is based on Dn D 3.5 anyways) but it's largely to do with what kind of spells they cast and how.

Wizards for example get a large pool of spells, but they have to pick which spells they use at the beginning of the day, how many times they'll use it, etc., up to a limit of spells per day per level.

Sorcerers on the other hand have a much smaller list of spells to choose from, but they can cast them without preparation until they reach their limit of spells per day per level. So if a wizard only prepares two "Scorching Ray", and he uses them both, he's out. But a sorcerer can just keep on casting until he reaches his limit of spells per day.

Witches are similar to sorceror's in Pathfinder, except they have a list of specialized spells called Hexes. They get a certain amount of hexes per day in addition to their normal spells per day.

There are also Oracles, who get revelations, which are special abilities they can use a certain amount of times per day, or at all times depending on the ability. For example, I have an multiclassed Oracle who has an ability called "Water eyes" that allows him to see through fog and mist, and it's always on. If I were to take more levels in oracle I'd have to pick more revelations from the same list(Called a mystery), such as Blizzard, which allows me to create a zone where anything in it takes cold damage for a dew rounds per day. I get these abilities in addition to having a list of normal spells that functions like the sorcerer's.

There's also divine spellcasters, which operate mostly the same on a mechanical level but have a different list of spells and different 'fluff' - divine spellcasters have to pray in the morning to get their spells whereas arcane spellcasters(wizards et al) have to 'prepare' them.

So, it mostly all comes down to how many spells you know and how easy it is to use them.

@Marcen Although it would be cool to just see Doug Walker rapping would be so awesome and so funny at the same time.

@Marcen Like I said I used to watch The Nostalgia Critic videos but then they went downhill and I stopped watching them. Other that I don't think I watched much of Doug's other stuff besides The Bum Reviews and a little bit of Video Game Confessions. Recently I've pretty much started watching his vlogs for Adventure Time which I regularly watch after I have seen an episode of the latter just to see what he thinks of the episode.

Kegisak gave a great explanation. There's also the different in-universe justifications too, though. Wizards, for example, gain their magic through dedicated study, while sorcerers are born with the ability.
