Mixed Nuts - 'THAT' Pen and Paper RPG Thread

Quick Rundown:
This(these) thread(s) started as an experimental attempt to determine whether a D&D type game could be possible over an anonymous imageboard. The results have exceeded my wildest expectations. During the week, these threads consist of game meta discussion, shitposting, bants, and more shitposting. On the weekend its on, and its something far more intense than standard pen and paper; I'm still trying to figure out all the aspects and elements.
New players are welcome at any time, and with that let me tie up the previous questions.

Just because a race or species is listed as 'Outsider' doesn't mean they cannot migrate to other planes/realms.

Additionally, these factions (there are many, above/beyond the ants) have been written into the story, have been there the whole time. The ants were part of all previous 'boots' of the story, and have had successful and beneficial relations with several iterations of the active party.
The travel ban on outsiders limits those who's home is/remains any of the outer planes from entering willfully OR being summoned from interally.
Meaning, it is impossible to summon foreign ants from their home plane, but one can readily interact with ants 'from' this plane.

The scroll will come up in the future, its relevance has to do with a particular location which will be obvious after inspection. As for the potato, I'm sure he will never be heard from again. Ever.

And with that, the Game continues.

Nightmare-form fighting feels like a separate play style altogether, but increased Dexterity seems better in both forms (especially since she can't use her hooves to hold stuff in that form, despite huge strength). It should at least be useful enough for stealth and speed.

How many skill points did we have to allocate again?

TRacy's dex is now 19 with subsequent bonus increase in several areas including AC and skill checks.
>>13430
I need to know Tracy's experience layout, including experience reserve for assassin (don't save them, by the time you kill the T and the nerd, she'll have more levels anyway).
Most classes have a formula for determining starting skill points, and gain class-specific points per level. I can crunch those numbers for everyone except Tracy right now (unless Infernius devoted more levels to psionics).

Okay then.
Everything that didn't already go into Rogue goes into Blackguard. I've completely given up on Wilder, Pyro, and Psionic Fist, so just say those went into BG. Last I knew, she had two levels in Blackguard, but she'll need more in the future to realize her ambitions.
As for the rest, save it for Assassin.

Well, she's already got the prereq's for it. Nightmare is the quintessential Blackguard mount too, so the thematics fit. Blackguard spells are lawful evil, so that fits my ghost rider narrative.
Also, I'm an edgelord and a megalomaniac to boot. I have since changed the root of my character development plans and ambitions.

In that you are correct.
If I take 13 ranks in Rogue (pretty sure that's minimum) and 2 in blackguard, will I still have the skill points needed to get the necessary ranks in disguise, hide, and move silently for the requirements of Assassin?

Yes. Before taking the 2 blackguard ranks, you have 130 skill points to distribute. Rogues always get the most skill points, and it only takes 1 point to rank in class skills.
From Blackguard you also get 6 additional skill points as a blackguard

Wait, I did that wrong. Here's the equation
1st level: (8+1)x4
Additional levels: (8+1) x (increased levels)
36+(9 x 12) = (ans) + 6 (bg) =138 skill points.
No more than 18 points per class skills and no more that 9 per cross-class

Take another look at the number of rogue skills. You'll see pretty quickly why that class needs to have four times the number of skill points as the paladin class. There are far more things you need to spend it on

Yeah, I thoughyt of those, but I also considered that the boss fights would be in Nightmare form (only 1 weapon), so for those only I was considering something like:
>great cleave
>Improved bull rush
>rapid metabolism
>Awesome blow
>Two-weapon fighting
Most wouldn't be accessible unless transformed, but would work well when facing a damned army. I was figuring Silent killing in pony form; and charging beast in monstrous form, for dire/extreme. situations.
