Tonight's rather slow it seems... It seems as though... I'm going to have to try again with my task.

If the mane six had to take up an art style, which pony'd take which style?

@NES Wait what was with the slime earlier? And to answer your question maybe have Fluttershy Disney-esque, Rarity would look good as a herschel drawing. Pinkie Pie? Hmmm I guess she could be like something out of the 30s and 40s cartoons, that, or in the style of classic black and white cartoons.

@Starscream: One of the changelings thought it'd be a good idea to wake me with a cold container of slime... To say the least, it worked too well, unfortunately for me.

@Kix: I've received the answer to the question delivered.

@NES So they are pranksters at heart?

@CDRW Yeah Ponyfinder is awesome, been running a campaign in it for the last month or so, and going great.

pony Rogue.. Could always go Purrsian. But for Pony pony, would depends more on if the disguising would be good for the game you will be in. If there isn't many chances fr it to work out, then better off with Pegasus. Though do have the issue of not really being able to duel wield at all.

Oh And unicorn Magus is SO damn sweet.

It's for a solo campaign. I was complaining that rogues never really get to use their abilities to their fullest in a group setting because they can't really use stealth without turning it into a solo mission.

The concept of a solo tabletop RPG campaign sounds stupid to me.

True. Well if there is going to be a lot of.. wait...

You do know you can be a Doppelganger pegasus right?

Clockwork, Doppelganger, Gem Ponies, and Chaos Hunters can be your choice of Earth Pony, Pegasus, Unicorn, or Sea Pony.

But yeah as a solo campaign, that could work pretty damn good. Long as, again, you don't mind being effectively unable to dual wield.

And just what is wrong about a solo tabletop RPG campaign?

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

My reading of the rules leads me to believe that doppleganger pegasi can't fly, and doppleganger unicorns can't use the unicorn racial abilities either.

No, they can. What would make you think otherwise?

All you lose by being a Doppleganger is the bonus starting feat. You keep all other racial bonus of being a E,U,or P.

I think the thing is, if you start as one of them, and then later use your power to shape shift into another. You don't gain their racial feats might be what you are thinking.

Because all the shapeshifting does is +10 to Disguise Self and functions as Alter Self without affecting your scores. Alter Self does not grant the Fly ability.

Yeah if you start as a non-Unicorn or Pegasus Dopple, and then shift into on of them, you don't get the bonuses. but if you start as one, you get all the racial abilities.

It also doesn't say that Dopplegangers can be pegasus or unicorn subtypes.

That's probably one of those things that's up to the GM.

No it's in the basic rules.

The way pony sub races work, is you technically start out as Earthpony. That is the base template. Everything else either replaces the "earth-Bound" racial ability. Or the "Unique Destiny" racial ability. You can mix and match those two things. You can be any combination of any two sub races, as long as one replaces the Earth-Bound and the other the unique Destiny traits.

Pegasus, Unicorn, and Sea Pony replace Earth Bound

Clockwork, Doppleganger, Gem Pony, and Chaos Hunter replace unique Destiny.

You can be any combination of the one from the first line, and one from the second. And Earth Pony is included in the first line.

That's... not really specified in the rulebook. I'd consider it a houserule.

No that is directly from the person who was in charge of making the whole campaign book. that's how it was intended to work.

it's just like class Archetypes. You can be any combination of archetypes, so long as no two replace or alter the same basic class skill/ability.
