>>11776
The only spell available that allows that is Zone of Truth

>>11776
If you took her as your mount, you could communicate empathetically.

>>11778
>remove kebab
Kek, can you be more specific? Other than that, sure, but that will take up pretty much all your time. Also, did you want to setup your lair with any of these abilities (workshop)?

>>11779
what are the limitations on switching between mounts?

>>11782
Typically that would happen when the previous mount died, but I see no mention in any reference material. I would say its not like Fae is just gonna bounce, but I don't see much to restrict this. I would impose GM-specific consequences for this, but there is no prohibition

>>11778
>conceal alignment
>undetectable alignment
Why does no one understand why I do not trust her?

>>11784
You're confusing player knowledge with character knowledge again

>>11781
>Also, did you want to setup your lair with any of these abilities (workshop)?
Yes. The existing caves to the >rape-dungeon were to be as developed and furnished as the ants could make it; Tracy could move any necessary utilities there herself, if the ants couldn't. Any cavern that was not for utilities or living would be a sealed chamber, equip with shackles of various size. It would also include storage space and a training area big enough to go wild.
Also, make a requisition for Dimeterium Ingots.
>>11782
Make fabulous surcoat out of previous mount.

>>11785
The red flags are so numerous they are plentiful at both levels

I feel like the guy in that Twilight Zone episode, "Terror at 20000 Feet." Like I'm the only person who sees a grave danger, and every time I try to point it out I am treated like I am insane

Just because I'm a paranoiac doesn't mean the threats I imagine don't also exist

>>11787
What exactly do you expect/hope to happen? This game was intentionally designed to force disparately aligned characters to coexist and learn to help eachother in spite of their differences. Yes, Trump has his reasonable misgivings, but there's plenty of jews and others that are far more significant of a threat.

>>11794
The Jews are not in the position to be the mother of my child

>>11792
It wasn't exactly meant to be in-game. She was there in the tower with you the whole time, but if you insist:
*teleports next to you* (where is your character? Are you still in bed?)
*straddles your waist affectionately*
"Good ~morning, Flashy! I had the most peculiar dream last night."
>tfw no qt3.14 pony waifu to greet me in the morning every day...

>>11795
Rooooooo! What part of her is Jewish?! I don't ship Jewish characters!

>>11796
Gah!

why the spoiler on the image?

Also, GM, the counseling needs to have happened in live action or else it is meaningless. You don't gain trust for a real person because a dream person reassured you. You need the real person to reassure you

>>11798
I know, I was just chiding you for having indicated you were breaking Torcuil's staff, which is bad

>>11779
Disarming an attacker by breaking their weapon is a reasonable, legal, and morally justified use of non-lethal force for self-defense. If you do not want your staff broken, then do not conspire to attack someone with a powerful non-lethal weapon

>>11801
Yeah, but breaking that thing would've either killed everyone or sent them to another dimension.

>>11801
You're absolutely right. It just so happens that breaking this staff either kills everyone or puts them in an alternate plane of existence

>>11803
>>11802
Eh, at least I know now how to access the nuclear/MAD option should it become necessary
>>11800
REEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

>>11804
No you DON'T, unless its happening.

>>11781
>but that will take up pretty much all your time.
In what ways can she dovetail her time to maximize productivity? The potions aren't that important, desu.I was also hoping to explore how the Arcana Knowledge skill works, and train her concentration and psionic abilities as well as explore her extraplanar powers (etherealness, astral projection, etc.), in a way that she could manifest them without spontaneous bullshit.

>>11805
But you just said breaking the staff would kill everyone or teleport them to strange dimensions

>>11807
Yeah, but it didn't actually happen, so the most your character possibly could've seen/known was a flash of bright light before the dream ended.

>>11808
Eh, either way, breaking Tourcil's staff is the most obvious first act in a civil war in the group

What are the methods to increasing a monster's hit dice?

>>11796
If this is happening in game, I am absolutely doing the following
*holds pony*
*casts ZONE OF TRUTH*
"Tracy Cage, are you willing to stop lying - to me at least - to stop stealing, to stop attacking and harassing my associates like Fae, and to stop following that godawful Judeo-Bolshevik plot to subvert nationalism known as "Soccer," for me, or if you don't respect me that much, for the sake of our foal, for YOUR foal, so he or she can can have a better upbringing and life than the one left to you?"

>>11807
Yes, but thats not something that you 'know' and can act upon, but it is something that would/will occur if it happened. I'm really trying to keep everyone from ending up a grease-spot. Work with me a little.

>>11810
Are we talking Tracy or someone else? Xp
Seriously though, give me an example

i get a feeling that this board and furthermore this general is slowly but surely becoming /mlpol/s gay bathhouse

>Consuling happens

>>11814

Well, Tracy, hypothetically...

>>11816
Fair point
>>11817
>everyone is teleported into Torc's cave

K, you would just gain class levels with their respective hit dice. I'd need your 'final' statement on which levels where

>>11821
Kek
>>11820
You mean your house?
Nah, I'm good

>>11820
I think you grossly misinterpret what is going on here in an obviously Freudian manner.
This thread, to those who participate in and those who follow, is an ongoing creative series. Its a cartoon show in a manner of speaking, and who fucking knows what will happen next. I'm trying to write the thing for the most part, and almost all of my ideas have gone off in unintended/unplanned directions. What we are now seeing is a consequence of role-playing games in general; even the most experienced player cannot help but make choices based on their limited experience and bias, and can/will often be triggered by events or themes which are consistent with their experience.
Tl;dr
>complaining about drama in an RP thread

Did Lenos finish Tracy's weapon? Or will that take all three weeks?
>is perfectly willing to wait much longer; has rope-dart and Pyro's flame-whip already

P.S. how many animes or other series' don't involve a bath-house or spa at some point? Low energy germanon.
>>11824
I was figuring that that is the project that Lenos would teach Infernius based off of.
Spoiler alert, after the time-skip (which I am going to have to stop browsing and start writing soon >_<) everything will be scripted to have happened, in a manner that is (reasonably) plausible and minimally consequential.

>>11817
"Tracy, you can have everything you - everything, all of it - want if only you meet the most basic of conditions. I'll even make it easy for you by making these as limited as possible

First, you will not lie, intentionally deceive, or defraud me, or my associates in the USFL, or the Port Barry government. I'm including the guards at the gates in that.

Second, you will not steal from me, from the USFL, or from any person in Port Barry or under my jurisdiction. If you feel you are entitled to a commission for work done, if you need or want money, or if you must commandeer some item for some immediate purpose, just say so. We will be reasonable.

Thirdly, you will leave poor FAE alone. You will not harass or harm her. She's my mount, and she is true. She is not my waifu nor am I interested in any sexual or romantic way any non-ponies. Likewise, you will not harm or harass any of my associates in the USFL or the Port Barry government

Fourthly, you will NOT play soccer, make soccer balls, speak of soccer, or have anything to do with Soccer. Nothing at all except destroying that blasphemy.

And finally, you will not commit any crimes against those in my jurisdiction. You may not commit arson, murder, or fraud against anyone in town.

All I want to hear from you is "yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes." Five "yes"'s. One for each agreed to condition. Now, agree to each condition here in the zone of truth, and be faithful to it, or forfeit the future you always wanted."

>>11827
So, what I'm seeing is that Trump would want to establish a treaty between himself and the party; A binding accord whereby characters would not infringe one one another in mutual self-interest.

>>11827
>triggers me
>want it banned
>padalin of trump
Ironic,
He could save others from the triggering
But
Not
Himself

>>11828
>tfw all problems can be solved through contract law
Yay Art of the Deal! Yeah pretty much, although it only concerns the fate of the child. I'd like the rest of the party to join in Trump's claim to the child should Tracy fail to meet the conditions and break them repeatedly and severely. Of course if they are unwilling to support the contract, I guess I'll be satisfied going right back to where we were with a possible civil war.

>>11817
"Please understand Tracy that this is a legal settlement between you and I. If you agree to these terms and obey them, I will not contest your claim to custody of the child, besides if course doing my part to support him. But if you do not agree to these conditions or agree and do not abide by them, not only can I not be your husband, I will seek to have you declared unfit to be a mother, and will take full custody of the child. My child will have a loving mother or step mother of morally good character, and I will see to it.

You don't have to agree, and you don't have to change who you are. I am simply giving you the choice of changing who you are and not contesting your claim to the child, or stay who you are and I will contest your claim"

>>11830
Recognize that this contract does not extend outside party interactions; Tracy is free to infringe upon whomever she feels entitled to, and Trump will suck it up.

>>11826
>>11827
>gets back from shopping at ministore
>sees this
>does math, like the massive faggot he is
Theoretically, I could probably out-roll this pretty easily if I wanted to (because I'm playing a level 15 criminally insane psychic rogue), and you're character wouldn't know the difference, but I don't want to.
That aside, the real issue though is that you're using this spell the wrong way: it's made to prevent blatant lies, not to create binding contracts. Tracy could be completely willing to agree to something one moment (she's willing to do almost ANYTHING while she's in your presence, when she's in this state), but change her mind later if she changed, and she'd have sociopath-tier opacity about it afterwards because of the Chaotic Mind and Slippery Mind (deadly Yandere combo). Furthermore, Zone Of Truth doesn't account for simple ignorance, lack of understanding, repressed personality traits, or simply not knowing the question. If she were to answer this question, she'd absolutely say "yes" to anything you asked, but it'd be bullshit, from a game-meta and dramatic perspective, for her to completely change instantly and follow through with the binding. A contract of this magnitude that could completely control a character to this degree would cost another spell, a powerful on, several even. If I were to have her say "yes" to everything, it'd be genuine in the moment, but that wouldn't change the fact that she's fucking insane.
>>11827
That aside...
I, the nerd, can do away with the lying-to-your-face, horseshit, because that's simply out of character, and I don't like doing it. As for all that other stuff... well, no promises. I'm playing her as a Yandere, an edgy yandere. She's going to do fucked-up shit while you're not looking if she thinks it gets in the way of her relationship, because that's what yanderes do (and I still want to do it). I she does something fucked-up, she, rationally, would try to cover it up because "he'll hate me if he finds out" or "I don't want him to see this side of me"; so, we have an issue here: you, as a player, would easily see everything she's done, while your character is oblivious; but that won't stop you from investigating and interrogating her. In every decision she makes, she tilt toward the one that seems most likely sustains her relationship: her sincerity depends on how much she trusts you to accept her for who she is and what she's done. She'd accept pretty much any punishment if she believed you'd forgive her, but she'd try to hide herself from you if she believed you'd irredeemably hate her for it. So, the question is, how secure in her relationship can you make her feel? She can't change all at once, but you can change her step-by-step, if you're willing to let her get closer; maybe you can even make her waifu material. If that's what you want, I could give you some pointers.
I will type-out a few actual responses in a bit after I'm done with this work, even regardless of whether or not the situation changes; I could write a new one later if I see fit.
In the meantime, let that sink-in and consider what the implications are for The Game.

>>11833
I don't [rppf-read either /)

>>11832
Of course Zone of Truth can't prevent future infringement. That's why I must and will be using zone of truth and detect lies in Tracy every single play session from here on out, besides watching her every move, and ask all of the relevant questions. I know properly ensuring someone meets with the conditions of their probation is difficult. I do not care. This is important enough to waste time on, to piss off other players with, and to burn half if my spell slots every single play session on
\r

>>11832
And I'm a level 15 Immigration officer. Don't fuck with me

>>11836
I'm a lvl 15 meme virgin

>>11835
>That's why I must and will be using zone of truth and detect lies in Tracy every single play session from here on out
So, you intend to squeeze daily confessions out of her and punish her accordingly? Hmmm.. I could make that work.
>besides watching her every move, and ask all of the relevant questions
Please don't bullshit me with long-ass contracts/interrogations again. She'll tell you anything, so long as she believes you can forgive her. Just ask for a confession, 'punish' her accordingly, and give me a chance to make it romantic/cute.
>>11836
You're not psychic though.

We have a l15 Paladin
We have a l15 Meme-Wizard/Theurge
We have a l15 Psychopath
and We have a l15 Bull.
Paladin ranks accordingly, Meme-wizard can nao reference divine spells, and psychopath figured out how to animate chains w/ her mind.
Infernius gained ranks in forging, Tracy in potions and magical crafts, Trump in Diplomacy and Perform, and Torcuil in alchemical transmutation.

"Now the concept of Theurgy recognizes that divine spells are brought from and flow from a divine source, a without. It also appreciates that arcane spells are derived and flow from within. Theurgy takes the assertive nature of wizardry and places it in the realm of the observer. YOU become the one to whom you beg for spells, and YOU are the one to grant them," begins one of Lenos' lectures to Torcuil.
"Less Yak-yak, more whack-whack!" he immediately chides Infernius for the umpteenth time.
Meanwhile Tracy, in her newly ground and recently caved-in (to prevent outsiders) lair, makes a great deal of development in telekinesis, specifically the animation of those oh so sexy golded-spike chains.

Also, Trump fully engages in business and community contracts/projects. He has thoroughly won the hearts and minds of port Barry, and word of his magnificence has begun to draw folk from surrounding communities.

>>11844
I'll answer that when you state what levels Tracy has. e_@

>>11845
>when you state what levels Tracy has.
I don't actually know how to do this...

>>11846
Think of it as a percentile. What percent of Tracy's total experience do you want put where?
The only limit is on wilder, which is 30% max.

>>11847
Do prestige classes need experience?

>>11839
Whats a Theurge?
>alchemical transmutation
Lead into gold kinda thing?

>>11838
>edgy Yandere
And I am playing as/literally am an equally psychotic paranoiac with experience detecting fraud in asylum applicants
>accept her for who she is
I'll repost the Paladin's code since I think it is helpful: "While she may adventure with good or neutral allies, a paladin avoids working with evil characters or with anyone who consistently offends her moral code. Under exceptional circumstances, a paladin can ally with evil associates, but only to defeat what she believes to be a greater evil."

But really beyond that the bigger issue is that a neutral evil outsider cannot raise his child, and there is no negotiating, bullying, bartering, or begging him out of that. It's like seeing your country become communist. Death is preferable, and it is better to watch the whole world burn.

You should have chosen a different target

>he's not psychic
Yes he is. He can cast "detect lies" which uses the aura of the character. No, he cannot know the truth, only that he is being deceived. But really, just like in asylum law, that's all he needs to know. He doesn't need to know the truth, only that it's being hidden from him.

>punish her accordingly
How? He has very few things she wants and he has very few ways of harming her. If she breaks the contract repeatedly, or egregiously, or he just doesn't believe she has any intent of complying, then he will take the child and try to leave her, and the consequences will be as they are
\r

>>11848
Just like any other
>>11849
Eventually

>>11852
>Just like any other
I didn't know this...
Fug...

>>11854
This
>>11851
I think you misunderstand how difficult she will be to discipline

>>11852
Is it possible to save experience for later? I want to save most of it for assassin...

>>11855
Of course she's almost impossible to discipline. That's why the contract can't be anything more than a peace treaty, which, if broken, starts a civil war

>>11856
You can do that
>>11857
Thats part of her charm. Choose your path; that of least resistance is to your left, that of most resistance is to your right.
I recommend the middle.

>>11864
>"confusion"
So Trump desires an accord with Tracy to do with - but not limited to - him cumming inside (It happened, I saw the shit).
Any other additions or corrections?
Tracy struggles to define her existence, in relation to professional/personal skills and abilities. Its almost that Tracy is an amorphous identity which her faggot didn't fully appreciate when he took her on.
Sorry, that waas 'rude', Tracy is awesome and I want her to grow and develop as a character and I mostly won't troll

>>11865
As your conseler,
>shugs
Whatever

>>11865
If you mean pertaining to the consequences of a previous effort, then sure, I guess

>>11868
>fuck the evil out of her
Have you ever tried to do that to a human woman? It doesn't work. It doesn't work at all. In fact, it makes things worse, because it messes with their emotions, Abe it gives them a reason to think they own you. So no.

>break her like a horse
Now this is more plausible. I'll think about it.

>>11869
>Have you ever tried to do that to a human woman?
She's not a human woman. She's a magical pony; and this is a fantasy setting.

>>11869
>>11870
Can't argue with either point TBH

>>11869
>In fact, it makes things worse, because it messes with their emotions
Point taken; sticking your dick in crazy breeds crazy. However, you've already bred her.
>it gives them a reason to think they own you
Well, you are married, so...

>>11872
Not officially, no
yet, muhuhahahaha

>>11843
Huzzah! How many Charisma point do I receive! I don't know if I have made it perfectly clear, but I've had Trumpaladin constantly grinding contract negotiation since the first treasure was recovered. He's doing most of the contracts (procurement, construction) for all of the new buildings. I think this should build his charisma, probably specifically in Diplomacy

>>11870
If you did not want to react to Tracy with the contempt, disgust, disdain, mistrust, and general revulsion with which I do to my ex-girlfriend at her worst, then you should not have taken an adorably blue pony of stabbiness and unoriginality and turned her into a real human woman

So to finalize the recent changes and developments, no Trump did not break Torcuil's staff, because I rolled a 5/20 and everyone died otherwise.
Some might consider that the preferable outcome Xp
What did happen is that in the aftermath of the 2nd Soros fight, the city of Port Barry sprung back amazingly, both from Trump's iconic leadership and from 'local contracts' which readily sustain growth and development. I can't seem to find Trump's specific plans for development, but recall them being shrewd as well as prudent, and those buildings and structures are serviceably finished.
Tracy, after discovering through a prolonged conversation with the ants through spoken word and written response, that all the ants really want and need is dead things, which Tracy is most apt at producing. It doesn't really matter the level of decay either, they can/will eat it in exchange for goods and services they can render (mostly limited to digging and fixing things). She has already given a great deal so they are more than willing to assist in the crafting of a sekret lair which (though not getting why) they agree to bury her inside of.
Trump makes great gains in Diplomacy some in Concentration and Bluff, and smaller in other skills that are loosely related.

>>11876
>tfw you accidentally tried too hard
O-oh.. Okay... I'll fix it...
