But sheilds are a mechanically inferior option! Think of the minmaxers!

mechanically inferior? maybe, maybe.

thematically superior? you bet!

@Dark: It really depends. Some of them are mostly about the art, some of them are more about the writing. Some of them are probably worth looking up without the art, but I don't really follow any of them that closely, so I wouldn't know what to recommend.

@dark

Ask Echo Fleetfoot

has text descriptions under the pictures, in part because it centers on a blind Wonderbolt. However, she seems to have stopped updating.

There are text only Ask A Pony blogs, but as you might guess they're not as popular as the drawn ones. We have a Rarity text blog

on our list, the premise is Rarity giving fashion advise (though it looks like they've gotten into the "reblogging" habit some blogs fall into, though still fashion focused). The Ask a Pony Heartwarming page does have this

from her though.

Thanks, I'll check those out.

A well-executed shield bash knockdown/bullrush is a thing of beauty.

There's a thread currently going on a D&D Forum titled 'Why all the hate for the shield?'. It will explain exactly why they're so inferior in 3.5ed (though animated shields are ok)

Feh, kids and their min-maxing.

I don't really care as long as I'm not running a completely trash build. I'd run a half-orc wizard just for the heck of it. (And because, you know, I think I have an interesting backstory for one.)

But we're getting off-topic again.

I can't attempt to point you in her direction.

I didn't see her walking out of the door.

#335039 kegisak Sat, 2nd Feb '13 5:35:53 PM

Actually, a half-orc would make an alright Wizard. In Pathfinder at least. Half-orc don't have any stat penalties, except for maybe Charisma, and their half-human side allows them to choose their bonus. So a half-Orc could theoretically be a really good Wizard if you choose intelligence for your bonus. Plus, two feats at level one!

...man, there's gotta be something I'm missing otherwise half-human races are stacked. I guess they only get the one bonus as opposed to the other races 2 or 3.

#335041 storyyeller Sat, 2nd Feb '13 5:44:48 PM from Appleloosa

Even a half orc Wizard would be better than a fighter as long as it has enough int to cast spells. Casters are just that much better in 3.5

And then season 4 turns out to be a new Doctor Who series.

Hey do you think there's any Apple relatives called Appleseed that go around planting apple trees?

Didn't Granny Smith's dad sell seeds or something?

Yeah, Granny Smith's dad travelled Equestira, collecting and selling seeds.

So, there's a new little platforming game

on the Hub's website. Code is HUBTV. Its...interesting. Quick, inbetween mini-games (some of which involve background ponies! I played a mini-game where I help Berry Punch to her house.), also you can unlock wallpapers.

#335048 doineedaname Sat, 2nd Feb '13 6:54:28 PM from Eastern US

And it requires a code to play.
