So Knowledge(Nature) is basically the Fluttershy skill?

#309202 Sereg Wed, 28th Nov '12 11:22:23 AM from South Africa

Fluttershy would have high ranks in Knowledge (nature), yes. But the skill she's most famous for is Handle animal.

Twilight would have high ranks in most if not all the knowledge skills, but most famously isn Knowledge (arcana) as well as Spellcraft (which is the skill for knowing about spells).

Applejack would also have a high Knowledge (nature) with being a farmer. As well as Proffesion (farmer) and Use rope.

Pumping up skills to those levels in general tends to do ridiculous things, especially with a creative player. I remember maxed balance let you walk on clouds, and maxed escape artist let you slip through an inch wide crack. And I think forgery could do some nasty stuff.

Oh, the thread? Don't worry, it's just dead.

True. A high enough Swim lets you swim up waterfalls too.

And then there's Bluff:

Wow! Thanks for letting me know!

RD would suck at compromising, whereas Fluttershy would be far too willing to compromise

Together they make Flutter Dash, Ace Diplomancer Extrroadinaire.

I stopped at the comic shop on the way to work and picked up my Comics

I got the box set with all 6 covers The Third Eye Cover Variant A sparkly cover variant and The 1 in 10 covers variant

The guy at the comic shop had them all pulled for me and ready to go. He even knew my name when I came to pick them up. I only get there once a month but I love this place!

Man, now I have to be patient and wait for my order to come in. No idea when that will be.

Jumplomancy.

I can totally see Pinkie as a jumplomancer!

The best part is that Jumplomancy involves you exploiting D&D movement rules to jump in a way that causes you to freeze in midair and then take 54 seconds to come back down. But Pinkie can actually do this in canon!

If anyone is interested in the Third Eye Cover variant I can probably pick one up if you are willing to pay cost + shipping.

Im thinking of buying a few spares anyway to put on ebay.

This is what it looks like if you want to see

I recall reading a story about a guy who maxed bluff, disguise and language.

His character was a bear. noone ever knew

#309213 storyyeller Wed, 28th Nov '12 12:06:37 PM from Appleloosa

I read about a story recently where one PC was an Awakened Horse. It's probably a lot easier to hide with magic though. Or if you're a bear, you could just bluff people into thinking you're a druid.

So anyway, what happened with the You Gotta Share thing? Pinkie rolled a natural 1? Maybe Thunderhooves and Braeburn had spell resistance?

This should be picture for some trope, but probably all tropes what could use it already have proper picture.

Because he know I'm going to go out in this plane and I'm going to remove one of His creations from His universe.

#309217 Perpetual Lurker Wed, 28th Nov '12 12:15:34 PM

@DC That is my favorite line in the whole comic. Hands down. Even the CMC noticed how transparent she had been at the wedding.

Social skills bypass spell resistance. They woud need immunity to mind affecting influences. But yeah, that was a natural 1.

Hmm it could work for Just Between You and Me because picture don't illustrate that trope that good. (Really Oot S should have many better panels for that trope).

#309220 storyyeller Wed, 28th Nov '12 12:19:06 PM from Appleloosa

Smart Overlords will monologue a fake plan to distract the heroes while their real plan carries on. Or just do things 35 minutes ago.

#309221 Death Cloud Wed, 28th Nov '12 12:22:28 PM from Horsehead Nebula

Smart overlords will gloat how heroes are 35 to late when heroes arrive just few minutes before evil plan succeeding to distract them.

BTW it's Scoot on that panel?

#309222 Perpetual Lurker Wed, 28th Nov '12 12:25:24 PM

@DC Yeah, that's Scoots.

Interesting random note: The comic is the first time Rainbow Dash has ever called Scootaloo "Scoots" in official material to my knowledge.

I assumed she was using the bard ability that let her cast spells through music performance.

Either Pinkie rolled a Nat. 1 on that Performance, or the Buffalo and the Sheriff rolled nat 20s on their Will Saves.
