Like I said, I don't think we've gotten as far as having an actual skill list. I'm sure there will be earth pony and pegasus specific skills, but that hasn't been laid out yet.

Will we be bothering with equipment?

No idea. I sort of stayed out of the conversation because I have no experience creating a game system.

Anyway it's like three in the morning here, so I'm off to bed.

Hm... I imagine there will be some, but probably not as extensive as armour and weapons? Probably things like acessories and charms, things that might give little 'magical' stat bonuses. Though hey, they've got armour in-universe, I don't see any real reason not to use it if it comes down to that.

Well most ponies are content to go naked, so I think there should be some kind of drawback to wearing clothing/armour

I've never been a part of a live RPG session. Perhaps when we hash out the system more I'll give it a shot.

Numbers make my head hurt though.

Do all the attributes get some kind of base value? and you can add certain points to some and subtract from others?

or do they all start at 0?

@Ginger: Some kind of a penatly, or something? Heavy armour gives a Constitution bonus, but gives a hit to Agility. That probably makes a bit of sense. Makes it good for a tank, but not for, say, a rogue. I recall in Neverwinter Magic classes couldn't wear heavy armours because it gave their spells a chance of failing - they couldn't move to make the symbols properly.

Night, Crow.

I'm probably gonna hit the sack soon myself. Before I do, though, the latest version of the commission I've been working on, for the curious! Still not completely done, I need to shade the environment tomorrow, and add in some details. Still, what do you think of the shading on the characters, at least?

Also, have another one of these, just because I love the effect.

From what I recall you start with everything at 10, and you have maybe 5 points to put in? Plus you can take points out of other skills to use, but 10 is dead average, so anything less than 10 and you take penalties for checks on that skill.

@Kegi: Yeah, for equipment I'd go with accessories and magical items. Items will probably be kept in saddlebags, so there will likely be a weight limit. The most we see any pony carry is 2 bags at a time. Maybe Earths can carry slightly more.

We could get minions to pull a cart, maybe.

How do you inrease your attributes outside of the initial creation process? Or can't you?

Or can you only temporarily increase them using skills?

Like, are some of the skills you learn only passive stat boosts? Or all they all active skills you can use?

I think you get a stat point every couple of levels or so? The max for a stat is 20, I believe. Plus there are temporary buff skills, and some equipment gives stat bonuses.

But I'm going off Never Winter Nights 2, which is a fairly old game. And even then I don't know it inside and out; I pretty much just made a character and ran around a bit to get a feel for gamplay. I really couldn't tell you the bulk of the system.

Anyhow, I'm off to bed. Night, all. Or morning, but whatever.

Bye keg!

Dam, does this mean I missed the stat discussion?

Yawn, seems so. I like RP Gs but I never was interested in having to tinker with stat building, I just want to have my character and their abilities and to have a good run around in a new world as the character. I always get the feeling too many are obsessed with messing with numbers rather than actual roleplaying.

Now I really like that colt◊

Such a classy fellow.

Cool fez. And I love his "like I give a shit" expression.

Ooh, Pony RPG! Interested! I've actually been thinking of a system myself. Though it's more based on Exalted than D&D. Still, a D&D system would also be fun. Just remember, it's not truly a pony game without a sanity mechanic.

First he eat cookie in class, now this.

He is my favorite background male foal.

I think he may be related to Bon Bon, because I swear he have diffrend voiced when he speak.

I had a few rough ideas for a Pony RPG system. However, it was supposed to be an in-universe game (it was meant to be played by ponies), so it's not actually set in Equestria, and functions under a rather different magic system.

Truffle is awesome.

Btw, remember when he first showed up, I said he'd be big in the future?

Well I was right!

Knowing me... I'd probably play as an EP politician

focusing on Charisma and Intelligence

I think big is pushing it just a tad XD

@ Ginger: Maybe a cybernetic eye and leg as well?

Red Eye only had a cybernetic eye actually,

but yeah... what can I say? XD

even without him it's the sort of character I'd have made eventually anyway. I like E Ps and I like Magnificent Bastards

I'll be some kind of old-age (as in acts like Commander Hurricane's era not actually old) (although maybe actually old) Pegasus Barbarian.

Then I'll get thrown into the real-politikz and you'll have to fight a dragon with your bare hooves.

Are you allowed to pull a Face Heel Turn in RP Gs?

what's the difference between Wisdom and Intelligence in terms of skills?
