@ Time...

Speed it up...slow it down...reverse it...

Here's an idea...he uses a time reversal spell to turn temporarily turn a rampaging monster back into a cute little baby for about 15 mins.

I'm enjoying this pony RP talk. I was expecting a simple, play as characters and RP. Not, make a D&D style game and RP.

Yeah, Andromeda is heading for you. You got over 9000 years until it collides.

@Apple: That strong a spell would take serious practice to learn, so he might get it later in his career once he gets really good at magic.

@ Ace

So that's a very upper class time related spell?

I guess lower class would work like a freezing spell?

Confound these accidental double posts!

Anyway, I think Wo D already has been adapted for ponies.

@Apple: I'm honestly not too sure what Time Magic is available at the lower levels, perhaps under the Final Fantasy system he can get basic !Time magic like Haste or Slow.

@Dalek: I imagine it'd almost be a replay of the whole Parasprite shebang.

@ Ace

That's it!

Hits the thing with it, it moves at a much slower rate to the rest of time for a while?

How about an actual Time Travel spell? Or would that be a total Game Breaker?

Even the most basic time manipulation should have very high INT prerequisites. You'd have to put a lot of effort into study to understand the mechanics behind it.

#146810 Ace Of Scarabs Thu, 5th Apr '12 10:33:14 AM from Singapore

Also, more advanced or dangerously exploitable Time Magic would be sealed in the Star Swirl the Bearded Wing in the Canterlot Castle Library.

I'm sure Pendulum would love to see that place.

You could probably put in stuff like speed buffs at relatively early levels.

Yeah, basic Haste effects are doable as low-level Time magic, in fact most !Time practicioners learn Haste because it's the most practical time magic.

Time reversal spells and such, especially ones that last that long, would be probably around 5th-level arcane spells... so you'd need to be the equivalent of 9th level in D&D to cast them.

Can you think inside the chimney?

#146816 Badwolfwho Thu, 5th Apr '12 10:41:56 AM from Stardust Road

I'm guessing Heavy Armour would give a penalty to flight. Would that penalty be negated with sufficient strength?

Who the hell is Lollipop Chainsaw, and do I really want to know?

#146818 Ace Of Scarabs Thu, 5th Apr '12 10:43:22 AM from Singapore

Probably, yes, or they might need a Proficiency: Heavy Armor as well.

@CDRW: Lollipop Chainsaw is a game where you get this cheerleader (voiced by Tara Strong) to chainsaw an apocalypse of zombies.

I don't want to be too hung up on time too. It's machines I'm interested in.

Pendulum just decided as a kid...screw it, I can use the workings of a clock to power more than a clock!

@Apple: That may entail Cutie Mark bonuses to his Lore and Arcana skills when it comes to machinery and artifacts.

Thanks Ace.

I've never played D&D before, so I'm pretty clueless.

What's the deal for followers? Like, pets or...robots?

Well, there's all sorts, you can get pets, familiars, animal companions, and so on.

I've always thought that Spike is Twilight's familiar.

I'm thinking a monkey could be useful...y'know...hands?

Maybe his monkey inspired him to make The A.R.Ms!

#146825 Red Savant Thu, 5th Apr '12 10:59:21 AM from Eastern US

Really the only familiar function Spike performs is to help Twilight with spells, and even that's mostly through helping her draw circles, I would imagine. He doesn't really meet my idea of a familiar otherwise.
