Do you know any words that appeared in the post? Or approximately when it was?

Mane Six with D&D Classes? Twi's a Wizard, Rarity's a Social Rogue, Pinkie's definitely a Bard, Dashie's a Barb, AJ's a Ranger, and Fluttershy' a Druid.

I did some speculation on the Mane six class and alignment once, back on page 1848:

Well, since someone already brought tabletop roleplaying games into our ponies, I might as well speculate on what the mane 6's class and alignment would be if they were in a Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 game (because 4e is too low on fluff to be any fun in that regard).

Twilight Sparkle: Lawful Neutral Wizard. Lawful since she is such a stickler for rules. The 'neutral' will probably see some discussion if anyone actually cares about this, but the way I see it, not only have I never seen Twilight go out of her way to help someone other then her friends, she was also far too willing to simply make a problem once once she felt she'd benefit from it. Her ridiculously powerful innate talent for magic would suggest sorcerer, but she goes about learning magic the wizard way: With many, many books.
Applejack: Lawful Good Fighter. The way she values truth and honesty qualifies her as lawful, and she actually does go out of her way to help anyone in need. Being incredibly strong, she'd probably be a physical unit. While I was tempted to peg her as a Paladin because of her probably better then average wisdom score*
also because Paladin is my favourite class, and Applejack best pony
, I just can't see her caring much for 'divine justice' because of her down-to-earth attitude. Barbarian doesn't fit either, so we'll go with fighter.
Rarity: True Neutral Sorcerer. She only seems to care about rules or etiquette when someone is looking, but she is incredibly generous to anyone once she's figured out what she is supposed to give. Tends to be rather manipulative at times to get what she wants. The sorcerer's charisma-based spellcasting*
and wisdom as a dumpstat
seems like a perfect fit for her.
Fluttershy: Neutral Good Druid. Not enough of a spine to be either lawful or chaotic, but she seems particularly fond of spreading the good wherever she goes. Deep connection to nature, but would probably be more comfortable supporting her party by casting spells as a druid, rather then directly dealing damage like a ranger would. Well, that one was easy.
Rainbow Dash: Chaotic Neutral Ranger. Apart from her arrogance-induced stint as Ponyville's hero, she doesn't really seems to care much about doing the right thing, and even skipped out on helping one of her friends because she was busy napping, so going for full good is pretty much out of the question. Plays by her own rules, and unnecessarily charges straight into danger because she felt like it, so chaotic. Her class was a bit more difficult, but in the end, I settled for something that would benefit from a huge dexterity score, did not involve sneaking around, and would allow her to charge ahead with not one, but TWO weapons.
Pinkie Pie: Chaotic Good Bard. She wants to see smiles on absolutely everyone's faces, and won't take no for an answer. I'm also pretty sure no one will argue on her being chaotic. And someone whose main addition to the team appears to be a raise in morale and starts singing in weird moments? Pinkie Pie was born a bard.

I think I just out-geeked 90% of the internet population.

Yup, I'm a nerd, all right, both in past and present.

How did you outgeek everyone? People have imagined that Mane 6 as D&D players before.

#161855 Kayeka Thu, 19th Apr '12 6:22:08 AM from Amsterdam

90% of the internet population back then. I'm pretty sure that bronies don't make up more than 10% of the internet. Even assuming that all bronies are into D&D (which they are not, as Gingerninja demonstrates), I think that 90% would be on the low side.

Also, it was just a joke.

#161856 Sereg Thu, 19th Apr '12 6:24:01 AM from South Africa

So Star Swirl's mane fluffs out as well?

Sure, Why Not?? Though, probably not much more often than Pinkie's straightens out (at least, for Fanon!Pinkie).

Ace is right about the Mane Six's classes if you're sticking to core, but if you're not, Rarity's a Beguiler (basiically, a cross between a social rogue and a sorcerer).

As for myself, I like to think of myself as a wizard, but I fit Archivest better.

EDIT: Also, I really don't see Rarity as non-Lawful.

#161861 Kayeka Thu, 19th Apr '12 6:29:57 AM from Amsterdam

Obviously.

I once had a half-baked idea for a fanfic of mine for an RPG for ponies. As in, actual ponies form Equestria playing it. Had to scrap it though. It would alienate to big a portion of the audience that are not into RP Gs.

Speaking of fanfics: Damm you fimfiction! I need to fix my fic before it gets posted on Equestra Daily so that I won't have to kill anyone with my shoddy storytelling back then.

And yeah, still a sorceror here.

That page about pony D&D also has a pony MBTI type thing linked as well:

http://lurkingrhythmically.blogspot.com/2011/07/wnw-pony-alignments.html

According to this, I'm Celestia! (because my MBTI type is INTJ) Although I'm not so sure Twilight counts as a "P" type myself, she seems much more "J" to me with the way she worries about schedules so much. I would personally want to switch her and Celestia's types, or at least put Twilight as the INTJ, because I think she's a pretty perfect example of that type.

I got Twilight Sparkle as a result. I really have to agree with you, though. Twilight and Celestia should have been switched in that one.

The D&D Archivist is a bit different. They work for the church and gain the ability to perform miracles by studying their faith, artifacts and evil.

And INTP here but yes, Twilight does seem more like an INTJ.

Oceania is at war with Eurasia. Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia.

Also, what were people saying when they were talking about a "trap"?

Before or after switching her with Celestia?
