Gladly! Ive been WAITING for GM to have an uninterrupted response

Im gonna revert to previous depictions of malice, willlful disregard, and attempted misrepresentation, in the forgoing disregard of this faggot and whatever theyre likely to say i. The foregoing timeframe

>>182367
Are you drunk?

>>182368
Oh, child. Try harder.

>>182369
I'll take that as a yes.
Goodnight, fag.

>>182365
You imply that posey is the one pushing for GM to resolve the situation. Cute.
I have tried to avoid interaction witb Posey. The inverse is not true.

>>182372
I don't know what you're upset about. Is it the suggestions of rape that made you uncooperative? The described metallic object looks to be irrelevant and it should not take much time to find out what it is before moving on. There is nothing to gain by being cryptic to all the other players. Is there a tacit deal the other players don't know about where Posey and yourself have to avoid interaction?

>>182373
Sweet, summer child. This goes way back.

>>182373
Posey's player and I have a long long history to iron out.

>>182373
>avoid interaction
I'd mot have pushed for it, but it might be best.

>>182373
Let's get specific. Are you asking if I refused to go along with PF's (Posey's faggot) demands of me as a player/character? Yes, thats correct. If he, you, or anyone makes demands, three guesses what the response will be. If its important, maybe dont be a dick about it.

Theres this odd and prevailing attitude that other characters are stepping stones, or a means to another particular character's desired end. How about wwel all play our own characters?

Can you please not shit up my thread with cryptic arguing? It's unpleasant for the rest of us. We don't want to wade through shit to get to the substantial replies. It makes it harder to backread. And it kills the thread more quickly.

>>182381 →
When you have a problem with another player, can you just write out, in plain English, what the issue is? There are six other people here besides you and Posey.

None of the rest of us want to wade through 30 replies trying to guess what the issue is. And when you bury your own replies with more replies, if by some accident you do say what the issue is, that answer gets buried. Either say what the problem is or shut the fuck up and don't shit up my threads. If you're afraid that you can't articulate the issue, then please try, and we'll attempt to interpret it. And if you can't or won't do that, then please just don't post.

We are autistic and not paying attention to your tit for tats with Posey. We don't see subtext, we don't get context. Hell, even if you say it out loud and then bury that reply with 30 others we'll assume it's because that reply wasn't very important. If you don't want to say it then don't write 30 replies of nothing.

Don't write 30 one sentence replies. It's spam. It shits up the thread and disrupts everything. There are six or more of the rest of us besides you two who use these threads.

>>182376

>>182297 →
While Brie's player won't tell us what the issue is, I think there's a very fair bet that a big part of the reason is you telling him what he should do with his own character - and then still insisting on it 20 posts later. It's clearly not appreciated. Don't do it.

Also, making a one sentence reply to tell us how bored you are and imply that you want to sexually assault another player character who is a thousand miles away in game is not appreciated by me.

None of the other of us six people know what the deal you made is. Evidently neither does Posey.

It's basically spam to talk about it here.

>>182382
I apologize, I should have walked away and calmed down.

Having said, I think I know what the real issue is, if there IS a 'real' issue. I just got finished detailing it to Stix, ask him. I dunno what exactly to do if Im right, and I certainly dont know what if I'm wrong, but its something to go off of at least.

>>182382
Sorry

>>182384
Oh cause that's what we need, involving more people. Great, yippee, that will surely help and not just expedite issues further. Who even is that? It doesn't seem to be one of the other players.
>>182382
Can you just let me know when we're actually playing so I don't have to keep tabs on the thread? I wanted to play a zeeb, not be a pawn in someone's surprise group therapy intervention.

What demands?
Is all of this about me suggesting that you roll a skill check? I literally don't care. The rest of us could roll. It doesn't matter. I was just trying to move the story along and settle the questions about your weird dildo so we could get to the light house.
>Theres this odd and prevailing attitude that other characters are stepping stones, or a means to another particular character's desired end.
Idk how you came to this conclusion.
I suggested that you roll a skill check to appraise the item that you had already claimed as yours. The rest of us had already rolled checks to identify it, and I didn't want to linger on it. You don't have to roll if you don't want to, and you could have just said that you didn't want to instead of confusing people with your weird cryptic jargon.
>>182382
>Can you please not shit up my thread with cryptic arguing? It's unpleasant for the rest of us. We don't want to wade through shit to get to the substantial replies. It makes it harder to backread. And it kills the thread more quickly.

I'm sorry for participating in the spam. It's a waste of everyone's time.

Alright. I just got confused by the way he replied.

Noted.

I didn't even know there was a deal.
When I said "what's your deal" I meant to ask what his issue was, because he was doing the "stonewalling discussion with cryptic nonsense" thing again.
>Your character can't even sleep. How could she hope to dream?
Well, vampires sleep in coffins, don't they? There's also the whole dream haunting thing they do.
It was a half-ironic shitpost to see how okay you were with the idea of adventuring in the dream dimension. I saw other dream sequences earlier in the threads, and I thought it would be cool to invade one if I invested in the ability to do so.

>>182383
>>182385
Thank you

>>182307
What is your character such that she’s eating other bats Is she Chinese?

>>182387
>what situation
There's two primary possibilities.
The first is that Posey and I just rub eachother the wrong way, and all of our misgivings and conflicts have been entirely organic and unrelated to anything else.
The second is that there's something unresolved between me and Posey such that they feel entitled to harangue me any time I'm disinclined to say how high every time they say jump.
Ive tried to get along in a gaming group sense, trying to opt for less contrary positions and to admit when I start acting irrationally (and the many reasons why), and not only has that been thrown in my face multiple times in a most contemptible manner, but when challenged there's the little boy "I'm sowwwy, I didn't mean tooo", and then 2 days later hes back to diligently searching for a nerve to jump up and down on, typically because he wants to advance the story without GM and I'm usually the one insisting he not, or otherwise waiting on fucking clarification because GM doesnt have the energy to effectively respond to my post because he's responding to a dozen other "Posey is bored" posts. At least when I take the time to embellish and/or length post, it doesnt typically demand a response.
And wouldn't you know it, every time Ive lost my shit I've has Posey all up in my ass. Might be a correlation there.

>>182389
I was asking about this particular situation.
>The second is that there's something unresolved between me and Posey
I have nothing to resolve with you. Maybe you think I have an issue with you, but I really don't. I don't know why you randomly get do antagonistic for some reason.
I'll admit, for about a week after your "threatening to kill the party" thing, I was a bit wary of you, because I was prepared to treat you like a potentially hostile player, but I got over that a long time ago. It's over: I have no problems with you.
I have only been trying to get along with you this entire game, but for completely undisclosed and uncommunicated reasons you don't seem to want to do that.
Even last night, all I did was suggest rolling a skill check, because players generally like having opportunities to roll their skills so I thought I might remind you this this was the opportune moment to do that. I only suggested that because I would have appreciated it if the same was done to me. I wasn't trying to control you in any way.
Maybe I came off as demanding, maybe what I said was offensive, but I had no way of knowing that because YOU DIDN'T TELL ME. Instead, you just spammed a dozen posts of increasingly adversarial and cryptic nonsense that accomplished nothing but frustrating and confusing everyone involved. All you had to say was "I don't want to do that."
>just rub eachother the wrong way
The only thing that rubs me wrong is your adversarial method of communication, or lack thereof.
Why can't you just tell us what your issues are, instead of making 30-50 one-sentence snide remarks of cryptic nonsense? Maybe you think it's cool to flood the thread with cryptic posts acting like a druidic hermit who only speaks in riddles, but to the rest of us it's just frustrating and unfun.
Last night was an example: if you didn't want to roll the skill check, why didn't you just say so? I wasted two hours of my time trying to interpret what your problem was from your nonsense spam.
Another example was the fit you threw over me asking for permission in-character it Posey could finish Sea Stone: you made 70-90 posts containing one sentence or less, but in none of them you said what your actual problem was.
Why can't you just say what your problems are in plain English? Have you learned nothing from the show? If you tell us what your problems are clearly, we can address them accordingly. If you instead spam the thread with cryptic nonsense, you just come off as adversarial and unapproachable, and your issues get ignored.

>>182390
>>182309
The subtext of this appears to be
>Spend a week or two coming up with a whole framework for a character and theme did you?
>Be a shame if someone made a character along the same lines
Immediately afterward, you started (ahem) "being pushy" about the check in thread, and I felt you were being adversarial on multiple fronts. This is not the first time I have observed you do this, in fact while on the surface you claim the OOC thread is to contain unnecessary cross-talk, I can point to numerous instances where it appears to have been made FOR it. You'll posture innocently in one while taking shots in another.

At least, thats certainly what the evidence suggests to me. If I have to end every post with "Thats what Brie os doing, and I am going to decline whatever else is happening until I directly reference GM or another party member, I guess thats what I'll do.
Brie had gone back to surveillance, and I was waiting on GM to.either carry the narration forward - something (you) seemed all to keen just before when Brie was trying to have a moment with what I hoped was something cool, and likewise when he was having his safecracker moment. Maybe Im hypersensitive, but during other player moments (or.maybe just mine) you come across like the "Can we GO now???" kid, who I'm.inconveniencing because GM is addressing me for a moment.

>>182391
>Be a shame if someone made a character along the same lines
That wasn't adversarial. That was an ironic way to express the awkwardness of the situation of two similar characters potentially being introduced. I mentioned the nightstalker cohort last year, and I mentioned a ghoul bat months ago, I even started roleplaying her in the diner: I did not just suddenly made it up just to spite you. I was intending to work it out in thread, or just drop my character altogether.
>second paragraph
Idk what you're trying to communicate here. Are you saying that you didn't get enough time to roleplay your thing? What does that have to do with what I was trying to do?
I thought we had already left for the lighthouse. GM was already describing the thick foggy environment.

And you didn't address anything I said or asked in the previous post

>>182398
I agree...

>>182396 →
It’s not a trap. It’s a harpoon head that contains an explosive charge. It’s ammunition, like a shotgun shell. Sure, you could rig it to explode as a part of a trap, just as you could a shotgun shell. So I said there was no trap, because there wasn’t. The harpoon head was not rigged with a wire not any other device to detonate; it was not a part of a trap.

I suppose it makes sense that “trap sense” is a general “knowledge:explosives, bombs, and ammunition” roll, but that didn’t occur to me at the time.

Lay off of me. The party had no rogue for five years, and this is the first time I’ve ever had anyone use trap sense on something like this.

>>182401
We should take it with us. It could be useful in the event that we lose one of our explosive charges, or an unexpected kraken fight.

>>182394
I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions. Just like I am not interpreted how I think I will be, you are not always easy to interpret, and the interpretations available tend to appear adversarial.
So I'll say this: if you want to be helpful and indocate what GM has said and I may have missed, link the post. Otherwise, please give me ny space in game - including being at least seemingly patient when I'm doing something. Ever notice how when not doing stuff, Brie flies up and surveils (read: allows players/characters the chance to do things)?

Maybe this will help give perspective:
Rosie's favorite moments have bern d escribed as clutch battle moments; those are always great.
My favorite moments are scenes where my character interprets the situation and does something awesome; "If you're unfamiliar", Brie deciding to save the changelings and later getting a double nat-20 in both a griffon's eyes, after playfully dancing while being shot at, was one of my top 3 RP moments.

I dont need to almost die, I need to be able to envision something cool. Let me have my moments.

Behold: I have discovered an exploding harpoon
Is cooler than
Behold: idfk what it is even though I said I was trying to figure out what it is.

I'm fine with Behold: the dice decided I'm an idiot, and havent figured the thing out

Oh, hey, spearguns are simple weapons in d20 modern, and they can load harpoons. That means any of us can use harpoons if we find a spear gun here.
Harpoons are considered by some to be the strongest exotic weapon in 3.5e: they do just as much damage coming out as they do going in, and they can immobilize targets to prevent them from charging.
http://dmreference.com/MRD/Arcana/Equipment/Weapons/Ranged_Weapons.htm
>>182409
You should take it. Look around to see if you can find a spear gun to go with it. If you find a spear gun, take as many harpoons as you can carry as amo. Harpoon + sneak attack is great.
https://www.realmshelps.net/stores/weapons/Harpoon

>>182410
>you should take it
I'll actually consider it for later, as it bypasses Brie's aversion to firearms AND isn't 'just' a crossbow.
As for the harpoon head in question, I'm fine with rolling it that Brie somehow didnt notice the explosive charge cuz harpoon, and offered it along to the captain who.it would seem it blonged to to begin with (and we may need his/their help)

>>182411
>>182410
You know, once Silver gets his smithy up and running, he could probably make some cool harpoons and maybe even a speargun for Brie.

>>182401
In finality, I am genuinely sorry. I appreciate that you comprehend my frustration, and I comprehend why you overlooked my intentions in the moment.
>>182394
Maybe they can do mutually beneficial business with Lacey. I'm open to it. I have a "thing" planned to establish Lacey's establishment, a soiree where all of Baltimare (including the vagrants!) will be invited!

>>182412
Too bad mundane (and magical) crafting takes so long in 3.5e... I can never play an Artificer without multiple Dedicated Wrights crafting for me.

This is where Craft Points come in handy
https://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/buildingCharacters/craftPoints.htm
Good variant if you want to have a lot of crafting in your game. Slightly abusable if you control a lot of intelligent minions (i.e. making a bunch of homunculi and having them spend their craft points), but balanced overall.
It's a per-level resource, but unlike action points, craft points are cumulative.

>>182415
I've asked GM pone for a change to the crafting rules, he hasn't said no to it so I'm curious if he agrees: I'd want the checks to be done per hour rather than per week, as especially with a slower paced game like this one the normal rules mean we would never be able to actually craft anything. Per hour means that simple items like Cure Light Wounds potions or a simple spear or knife can be made in just a couple hours, while the more expensive and powerful items will still need anywhere from a couple days to a week to complete.

>>182419
You mention magic items, but it's questionable how XP mechanics would work in this game. 3.5e really isn't made for milestone games.
That's why I didn't bother to take any crafting feats, despite having had virtually unlimited downtime before Posey met with the party.
I did put Ritual Of Transference in though, so that I could have allies, minions and captured enemies to pour their XP into items for me, if the need arose. You can gain ritual of transference as a bonus feat if you participate in multiple rituals of transference or craft talismans of transference (backstory material), so I could give you the rest of we cooperate.

>>182420
Paying XP to craft magic items just feels kinda wrong to me. Magic items already take so much money to craft, and you have to have the skill points allocated to the Craft skills which take away from other arguably more useful skills, and on top of that you have to have a specific feat to craft magic items which takes away a feat slot from other more useful feats, adding an XP cost on top of that just feels like a way to discourage the entire practice. What's the point of taking this feat and putting all of these skill points into crafting if you're gonna be penalized for it? It's not like finding a magic weapon in a dungeon subtracts from your XP or anything like that.

>>182413
pets ze bat

>>182419
>>182420
>>182421
Would you really rather make items than find them?

>>182422
I wouldn't say I'd rather make them than find them? Like, finding cool stuff is always great, but it's also great being able to make your own stuff personalized and tailored specifically for you.

It's also great being able to make cool stuff for your other party members who don't have those ranks in the crafting skills. Like, genuinely I'd want to hear from everyone if there's anything they'd like for Silver to make them when he gets his smithy up and running, he's got plenty of ranks in Weaponsmithing and a few even in Armorsmithing. Kira's got some ranks in Bowmaking too if anyone wants a bow or arrows or somesuch.

>>182422
I have no craft feats, so I would rather find them.
Silver seems really interested in crafting though, even if he's only going to use it to craft mundane weapons (suboptimal, but in-character and fun).

If I took Craft Wonderous Item, I would probably only use it to spellstitch minions.
If I took ranks in a mundane craft skill, I would use it on Craft (Writing), to write reference books for the university.

>>182422
>pets
Eww no pass, u have Europe on ur hands

>>182425
Also, it's not as if crafting magic items is out of the picture. Perhaps Silver can take the feat at a later level, or he can hire an enchanter for his smithy (basically just an NPC with the feat for crafting magic items, where Silver pays the cost for making the item, crafts it, then gives it to the enchanter to make into a magic item).

>>182428
>Perhaps Silver can take the feat at a later level
>implying we'll ever make it to lvl 9
Lol, lmao even.

I would like that too though. Posey could provide select spells if Silver provides the feat. I want a set of Grotesque +1 Fearsome Feycraft spiked Chain Shirt, made out of hydra bones dipped liquid metal.

Silver has a caster level from his horn magic, so he should qualify for the feat. Other ponies would need to provide spells if he crafts anything other than +X weapons/armor though.

>>182428
Brie could get him... ahem, exotic components (gems, metals, etc). Dont ask

>>182429
>>182430
Actually getting super hyped for this idea with you guys being on board. Silver provides the tools, skills, and feat, Posey provides the spells, and Brie provides the components, and Silver will make all of the cool stuff you guys could want, like Posey's chain skirt, or maybe even special kunai daggers for Brie that he can throw and then recall back to himself.

>>182432
And I haven't forgotten about my loyal cohort Mala, who will most certainly want some cool stuff, too.

>>182434
Concussion Kunai would be cash money

>>182429
I have some ideas about Posey's armor request, but before I start making some suggestions, what does Feycraft mean?

>>182437
Absolutely. What else would you like for Brie?

>>182438
We'll get to that after current year mission

>>182432
>scrunch
Gibe levels, pls
And consider the craft point thing.
>>182438
>what does Feycraft mean?
It's a weapon/armor template in the DMG2.
Interesting stuff here:
https://bg-archive.minmaxforum.com/index.php?topic=12795.0
The Artisan Crafter feats could be worth considering, if you want to do mundane crafting. Be warned, it's mechanically suboptimal, but also really cool.

Maybe consider taking that Ponyfinder Advanced Horn Magic feat, and ask if you can swap Unseen Servant for Unseen Crafter, so you can magically craft while adventuring. It would help to eliminate time costs.

>>182440
Ah, I was hoping for a quick description, but alright. So, here's a thought about Posey's armor: what about a Grotesque +1 Fearsome Feycraft Spiked Titanium Breastplate? We've got it figured that titanium would be this game's version of mithral, so all of the usual bonuses related to mithral armor would apply, including that a titanium breastplate would be classified as light armor rather than medium armor since that's a class restriction for Posey. Silver can also make it so that it looks like the hydra bones are physically bursting out of the breastplate, and he can even engrave some red jasper/bloodstone runes into the armor with Posey's direction.

>>182439
Kek, fair enough. It'll also give you plenty of time to think of all of the cool weapons, armor, and other stuff you'd like made for Brie.

>>182442
No offense, but Brie's current Batman suit cost more than this mission's payout.

>>182443
And I dont mean the split

>>182443
>>182444
Hey, none taken. Offer still stands, Silver just needs to know what Brie wants made (you know, once Silver actually has the tools and feat to make them).

>>182435 →
>Stalliongraders in trouble
Ooh, maybe they got attacked by a kraken.
gasps
Or maybe the griffons killing the Leviathan who was guarding these waters disrupted the balance of nature and caused the kraken population to spiral out of control!
Controlling kraken population is the most important responsibility of the noble leviathans: they're some of the few sea creatures powerful enough to hunt kraken. Killing one would allow the kraken population to surge.
gasps harder
Maybe the absence of a leviathan had enabled a kraken to cultivate a vampiric Ixitxachitl Cult of Dagon, abyss-bent on taking over the seven seas? Perhaps the kraken cult is after the sea tiara to fulfill its evil plot? Perhaps they've summoned a Wastrilith with their cult magic. Perhaps the Wastrilith mated with the kraken to hatch a clutch of thousands of half-fiend Cthulhu-like flying demonic kraken spawn, ready to be unleashed on the world, all because the Leviathan wasn't there to devour kraken.

Pic related, a Kraken that according to the book has the same charisma score as Posey.
>>182441
I considered Mithril Breastplate, but I think I would prefer chain shirt and dastana. It looks closer to the Kastnathi skeleton soldiers.
Otherwise looks good.
If I wanted perfect armor, Grotesque, Feycraft, Reinforced, Oerthblood, Segmented, +1 Fearsome Undead-Controlling Chain Shirt would be my ideal, but I would need to check to make sure.

>>182447
Btw, this is an adventure for Tails Of Equestria.
Tails of Equestria is a good system.

>>182447
Up to you, it's your armor that Silver would be making, so all of the details are yours to decide upon. I'm definitely make a titanium breastplate for Silver and a titanium chain shirt for Kira. I'm also thinking of making Kira some tungsten (adamantine) bodkin point armor piercing arrows.

Wow, congrats, you figured it out! You want a medal? Have you gained anything by all of this?

>>182461
If it means all y'all dispensing with the notion we dont know who everyone is; Then yes I have! ^_^

>>182462
Pretty piss poor trade if you ask me. But hey, why would anyone want to be anonymous on an anonymous image board. Sure beats me.

Can you niggers fuck off to discord with your personal drama? This is an anonymous board.

>>182463
Too bad, so sad. Not outing, just saying (especially to the ones who want to posture,): Hi!

>>182464
That's what I was trying to avoid, but oh no, can't have that apparently

>>182466
I appreciate your sentiment. It's all so tiresome.
Some people just want to play without out of game drama spoiling their fun. It's not much to ask.

>>182401
If we want to adapt it from D20 Modern then adding the Demolitions skill might be handy for situations like this. All these extra skills demand more skill points as a consequence.

>>182424
A masterwork dagger is always an ideal gift (except when given to kirin).

>>182424
>>182425
Since we're talking about D20 Modern, you can add in chemicals and pharmaceuticals to crafting. Why not? Concocting useful chemicals and drugs to sell on the black market would be fun.

>Maybe the absence of a leviathan had enabled a kraken to cultivate a vampiric Ixitxachitl Cult of Dagon, abyss-bent on taking over the seven seas? Perhaps the kraken cult is after the sea tiara to fulfill its evil plot? Perhaps they've summoned a Wastrilith with their cult magic. Perhaps the Wastrilith mated with the kraken to hatch a clutch of thousands of half-fiend Cthulhu-like flying demonic kraken spawn, ready to be unleashed on the world, all because the Leviathan wasn't there to devour kraken.
Most Lovecraftian!
>Pic related, a Kraken that according to the book has the same charisma score as Posey.
would

>>182450
How about hollow-point bullets for extra damage?

In regards to anonymity: we are posting on an "extremist" imageboard for a game where there is intense violence, edgy humor and very detailed sex scenes with our own characters which could charitably be called "deviant." Even GM Pone reasonably wants his identity hidden from onlookers and most of us are the same way. Even if you could guess everypone's identities, I would prefer thinking of each character as an isolated entity with an anonymous player, rather than attaching each to a real person.

>>182474
>Demolitions skill might be handy for situations like this
Yeah, but we'd need to spend skill points on it, which we don't necessarily have in excess.
D20 modern classes generally have a lot more skill points at their disposal than d&d classes.
>you can add in chemicals and pharmaceuticals to crafting
We could also just roll that into alchemy.
>would
Agreed.

AGREED.

On anonymity:
Bros, it would take an algorythm .5 sec to determine who we are. Idgaf. We have never been safe

And yes, y'all are obvious

>>182474
>>182475
>Anonymity
Yes. Let me just play my damn pony dating simulator game. I don't want to get doxxed and I don't want everyone else's personal drama seeping in

>>182447
>Or maybe the griffons killing the Leviathan who was guarding these waters
Technically it was supposed to be implied that the griffins didn't actually kill it - they found a dead one. Also it was supposed to be implied if not outright stated that basically all of the marine mammals migrated south for the winter, hence the lack of seals.
>Controlling kraken population is the most important responsibility of the noble leviathans: they're some of the few sea creatures powerful enough to hunt kraken.
Oh they control so much more than just the Kraken
But there's supposed to be tens of thousands of them

>Maybe the absence of a leviathan had enabled a kraken to cultivate a vampiric Ixitxachitl Cult of Dagon, abyss-bent on taking over the seven seas?
>Implying the Cult of Dagon is not already firmly established throughout the bottom of the seas
>Implying the leviathan and the cult haven't been at war with the cult for millennia
>implying the sea tiara isn't one of many
>Implying that army wasn't there already \

>Grotesque, Feycraft, Reinforced, Oerthblood, Segmented, +1 Fearsome Undead-Controlling Chain Shirt would be my ideal
You only have eight adjectives on that Chain Shirt? Are you sure that's enough? Wouldn't you also like "water resistant" or "machine washable"?

>>182479
>Technically it was supposed to be implied that the griffins didn't actually kill it - they found a dead one.
Ah, I thought they just finish it off when it was weakened after a fight.
>Dragon lore
Noted
>You only have eight adjectives on that Chain Shirt?
Those are just the ones off the top of my head.
I played an Artificer recently and my head is still full of item stuff.

This character sheet is not finished but I'll put a first draft of it here.

---

Name: Virgin Flame
Age: Twenty something.
Alignment: Chaotic Good.
Class: Monk level 5 + Barbarian level 1 (First level was in monk.)
Level: 6
Ability Scores Explanation:
First is the application of an elite standard array.
str 15
dex 13
con 12
int 8
wis 14
cha 10

Then since she's past level 4, she got a +1 to an ability. I choose strength.
More she's an earth pony, which means she gets +2 str and +2 con.

So the final score looks like this:
str 18
dex 13
con 14
int 8
wis 14
cha 10

Skills explanation:

So the number of skill points for my character at level 1, (4+ int modifier)x4. So, (4-1)*4=12p.
The next four levels of monk give us 4-1=3 each level, so 3*4=12p.
Last level in barbarian we can wait with since different class changes what you can put whole ranks in. But it's 3p.

So for her monk skills(24p):
(*) means that it's a class skill.

Social Skills (12p):
Craft* 1
Listen* 1( It's not a social skill but I like to imagine that's how she learn it.)
Heal 2p for 1
Knowledge (religion)* 3
Diplomacy* 2
Speak Langauge (celsetial)* 2p for 1
Sense Motive* 2
Descipher Script* 2p 1 ?
=14p

Physical Skills(12p)
Swim* 2
Balance* 2
Climb* 2
Jump* 1
Tumble* 1
Diplomacy* 1
=6p

Barbarian Skills:
Survival* 2
Intimidate* 1

Can I have a bonus on intimidate checks if she displays her massive strength in some way? Kinda dislike that someone who according to their ability score can break wood with their hooves is not intimidating in the least. Just a small bonus of 1-2, if you don't mind.

Feats:

So one feat at creation and one at every third level. This means I have three feat. ^^

Feats that come with the classes and levels:

Monk:
1)Bonus feat, flurry of blows, improved unarmed strike
2)Bonus feat, evasion
3)Still mind
4)Ki strike (magic), slow fall 20 ft.
5)Purity of body

Barbarian:
1) Fast movement, rage 1/day

So five "free" feats to chose.
I'm still thinking about these. Proabably the three unarmed skills, run, power attack, and choice between them and combat reflexes nad more. I haven't decided yet. Endurence?

HP: 47
I used the hit point average rule. So 8+(5x4)+7+(2x6)=47.

BAB: 10 (0+1+2+3+3+1)
Fsave: 18
Rsave: 16
Wsave: 16

>>182481
Good start

>>182481
Very nice. Theres some combat actions you seem apt to take advantage of, such as sharge

>>182482
>>182483
Thank you. ^^

>charge
Okay, I'll look into it. ^^

>>182484
>charge
10'+ direct dash move, unobstructed, with a single +2 momentum melee attack (-2 AC penalty) at end (max, 2x movement distance

>>182477
Yeah and? Not everyone has the algorithm. Fuck off with it already. If people wanted to be known, they'd make it know.

>>182487
Y-y-you wouldn't dare!
As long as Amber stayed with Mustard Trim she wouldn't mind too much I'd think

>>182489
She would make a good Dirge Singer
>As long as Amber stayed with Mustard
Rosey Ring would make that they're able to stay together, forever.

>>182485
^^
Our characters are probably more likely to have a competition in who can be the most polite than fighting. My impression of Amber, which is extremely limited I'll admit, is that she's a Rarity type character.

>>182486
Okay, yeah. I could see it, still weighing the alternatives. ^^

>>182487
I thought she only went for anyone with a dick but apparently not. What a faggot! ;^P

>>182488
Ididnt need one, jus sayin. nice dubs
No offense, but there's no NOT being known. Whether its me or another asshole, ur number is already on a list. ^_~

>>182492
Go to hell

>>182492
>there's no NOT being known
You can stop talking about it though, so shut the fuck up.

>>182492
shut up faggot
A government agency or dedicated P.I. might know us but that doesn't make privacy concerns moot.
We could switch up writing styles if we want to but that's too much effort unless if a fag like you makes us want to. Try blackmailing us and you'll see it's a stupid, meagre threat.

>>182491
Amber is a mix of characteristics from the Mane 6. She has the tomboy frame of Applejack, some of the bookishness of Twilight, some of the peppiness of Pinkie, and a little bit of the shyness of Fluttershy. There's not much Rarity in her. Did I get her rendition wrong?
