I'm sure we had a point 5 pages ago, but someone sat on it and now it's stuck in that guy's rear.

@ Kuroi: Her wings are saying "I like."

So, about dem dar ponies.....

I'm going to stop putting hypothetical scenarios to the thread. It's a bit distracting.

It's only distracting because we're idiots.

Occasionally should be fine.

@ Apple: Not your fault. We're an easily distracted...Ooh, pancakes!

There are several min-maxed charcters in the show.

Twilight: Okay, my special talent can be anything?

GM: Eeyup.

Twilight: Okay. My special talent is magic.

GM: What.

Twilight: Also, I have a dragon familiar. I was taught by the god-prncess in person and my brother is Captain of the Royal Gaurd.

GM: Wait. Hold on a sec-

Twilight: And my babysitter was another god-princess.

GM: Wait. How does that even...?

Twilight: Ooh! And I have a personal library!

GM: Okay! Look! You need some disadvantageous to balance all this out!

Twilight: Um... I have poor social skills and OCD?

GM: How is that supposed to... Oh! Oh yes! BWAHAHAHAHHHAHAHHHA! Sure you can!

Sombra: I'll take an obsession with stairs and barely intelligible speech. I won't be able to communicate in chracter.

GM: But you never speak in character!

I immagine Rarity is a player who usually goes for murder hobo Barbarian types. But this campaign she decided to play an NPC Expert and actually roleplay just to prove she can.

I'm not an idiot, I'm a geneeus!

Don't you mean Hideous Laughter?

@Sereg: That poor DM.

The DM wanted to encourage people to actually make up backstories, so they got a lot more freedom than usual. Resident munchkin Twilight decided to take advantage of this by making herself practically royalty. Of course the DM decided to allow it on the condition that she doesn't get any mechanical benefits from it.

I wonder if Mousa has nightmares like this.

Also, Rarity decided that just because she's playing an NPC class doesn't mean she has to be bad at combat. She convinced the DM to houserule that natural weapons always count as drawn and then took Iajitsu Focus as a class skill.

They got dragons, now they need some dungeons.

Ooh, actually the abandoned mines under Canterlot would be a great map. Crystal Zombie ponies!

Also, the DM countered Twilight's mechanical brokenness by nearly removing combat from the campaign entirely, leaving her to flounder with her gimped social skills, and only having combat when it's against foes that are even more overpowered.

Man what if we're all just characters in a really big D&D game?

On the subject of the current discussion...

Ooooh! Unfortunately I don't own the third ed version of Oriental Adventures, so I only know about that byreputation, but wow.

Still, Rarity acts most like a Beguiler.

Friendship Is Dragons is awesome :D

Anyways, time for me to leave, see y'all later after sleep.

Goodnight Ace.

Night, Ace of Spades.

I just had another idea. Twilight decided to write the Otyugh Hole into her backstory, essentially letting her buy the Iron Will feat. But the DM decided that the Otyugh Hole didn't really fit with the setting so she refluffed it into assertiveness training...

'Night, Ace.

Yeah, I got into Friendship Is Dragons a couple of months ago, and binge-read the whole thing.

Actually, also on this line of discussion, does anyone know a resource where I can find and read soem Pathfinder books? I joined a game on Sunday, and the GM was supposed to send me a PDF version of them, but he hasn't got around to it. We're starting the campaign next week and I still have shit to do on my character sheet in order to be ready, so I'd like a backup plan.

I imagine at least one of the girls has been trying to game the system... probably Pinkie. Tricked everyone into thinking she played a munchkin but carefully aligned her feats. Nopony saw it coming...
