>>189440>>189442>>189444Alright, thank you. I am sorry for making any assumptions about Brie's status and I should have read your posts more carefully.
As for what the party is doing, we're waiting on responses from the GM before we can do anything. He has done a great job and probably has a number of things on his mind. A few posts from him will get us all moving again.
>>189446I've got a lot of plans, but I'm holding off on sharing them because we don't know how things are going to go. For all we know, the airponies might be on the Kostroma.
Let's just be sure that we are finding the airponies next.
>>189446>>189447Consider that it would be more effective to orient the situation to where the horse is in the forefront, thus carrying and pulling the cart.
I remember I said I was gonna draw each character. Well, I really shouldn't taken so much on me but I did actually get around to do something.
This is how I imagine Posey.
>>189457You judge yourself too harshly. No one is waiting to see what drawings you produce (though they aren't unappreciated), we're waiting to boop the snoot
[1d20 = 2] >>189458Not an epic fail, but still a fail
>>189458Aww, thank you.
>>189459^^
This is how I see Cavaliere.^^
>>189457Art is always appreciated. Thank you.
I love the floating bones, and how she's riding the giant monster skull.
>>189460By description, he's less stocky than I imagined (not a criticism). I'm still seeing the ranger/gunslinger aesthetic, but I envisioned him with a denser frame.
>>189460I really like this art and thank you! Though, he doesn't have a mane like that.
>>189462>>189463I know. It ended up a bit goofy so I thought it be funny to post it as "this is how I see him" kinda joke. ^^
But thanks anyway for the appreciation. <3
>>189461Thank you.^^
So, are we on an unofficial hiatus, or what?
>>189468Give him a minute to cook some proper effort-post!
>>189473 →This is not an attempt to be engaged, this is just contextualization with a pinch of boredom.
We should wait until GM is ready before posting anything else in the RP thread
*looks around*
This is still the OOC thread, yes?
>>189476*slap*
4 goddamn days later, this is what I finally got GPT to spit out after having to force it to acknowledge that there was no copywrited works expressed or implied and THEN getting it to repeat the description I gave it and THEN telling it to fucking generate the goddamn image that it just acknowledged it had a detailed and thorough description of
Gpt's days are numbered.
Anyway, here's what it gave me for Rosey, Garv, and Amber
>>189480>1st picWho is she? She's adorable.
>>189484She goes by Amber Sunset. Another player will have to tell you about her tho, no offense but she hasn't crossed paths with my character so I've only been skimming
>>189480AI do indeed by very dumb. At least the images came out nice!
>>189480I love the Amber picture. Thank you again.
>>189502I'm happy to do more. There's a bit of a learning curve to get it to follow simple instructions, but I've gotten alot better. Let me know if there are any inclusions, additions, corrections, or anything of the sort. I'm gonna be playing with it anyway, so if there's somethign you'd like to see, don't hesitate. ^_^
>>189468Can anyone more informed/connected than me tell me if we are still doing this quest? Or is it over?
>>189508Any word on when we will pick up again?
>>189509Soon. Nothing specific, but he's working on writing out the description of the scene and the bone lurker.
*continues to balance awkwardly on one finger*
She was quite cross about the back-boobs
>>189509Oh, right, you said something didn't you? Rosey is waiting to,... oh that's right, she gets to raise a monstrous skeleton. Shush, in your turn. No seriously, you of all players have even less leeway than me
>>189510Thank you for the update. That puts me at ease.
Still trying to get it to stop striping parts of the body, but this is close
Very nice description, GM. I will reply as soon as I get off of work.
>>189523This is a really nice and cute image
Cadence: Half-celestial unicorn exalted Sorcerer with Celestial Bloodline, Divine Sorcery and Domain Access ACF. Her prestige class would be Celestial Sorcerer. Notably, she would have Faerie Mysteries Initiate with Shining Armor. Definitely give her prismatic bow and Unicorn arrow to suit her cupid theme, but overall she'd have relatively few offensive spells and focus more on utility and buffs. Give her multiple Exalted feats, especially Touch Of Golden Ice so she can crystalize evil creatures.
Put her around level 15-ish
Shining Armor: Int-based paladin/Wizard Abjurant Champion multiclass build, with Academic Priest, Sword Of The Arcane Order, Advanced Horn Magic, and Faerie Mysteries Initiate (with Cadence). He would use int for HP, Attacks, and spellcasting, and would be able to prepare Wizard spells in his paladin slots. The Wizard part would just be a dip, with martial domain wizard, to qualify him for Sword Of The Arcane Order, and advance as an Abjurant Champion. Paladins multiclass surprisingly well with Wizard. Swap out his special mount for standfast, divine spirit, or charging smite.
Mane 6 and other ponies: the levels of the Mane Six depend on how important they are to the story, but they should all be at least 10th level.
Twilight: Half-Celestial Unicorn Generalist Divination Domain Wizard, maybe Loremaster. Give her the Dragon Familiar feat (Spike). Spread out her knowledge skills far and wide and give her ranks in Profession (Astronomy) for even more divination. I could get nitpicky with the specifics of her Wizard build, but I'll spare you all. Note that Divination Domain could qualify her for Spontaneous Divination as a generalist.
Fluttershy: Druid (Huntsman variant), Beastmaster. No Wildshape, only minimal spellcasting. She's a pure beastmaster build. Max out her Animal Handling skill.
That being said, Beastmaster may be redundant, since her animals are NPCs anyway, so perhaps a Druid (Huntsman) / Divine Bard Multiclass, specializing into Green Whisperer. This would suit her niche of singing with the birds. Greensinger Initiate helps with this.
Fluttershy could also be a Ranger, but imo she's the only character in the setting who fits the description of a Druid, so I would prefer to star her as such.
Pinkie Pie: Jester. Take Jester Magic and max out perform (buffoonery) alongside tumble, stealth, bluff and Sleight of Hand. Giving her maxed Use Magic Device could enable her to pull off chaotic stunts. Otherwise, maybe some kind of Bard build. Her spells should be the ones that enhance her skills or function as party tricks, but possibly also offensive spells like Glitterdust.
Applejack: Ranger. Give her personal firearms, but her main weapon would be a lasso. Max put her Sense Motive skill. Possibly make her a multiclass Scout. She would have no spellcasting. Winona is her animal companion, with Golarion Ranger.
Alternatively, she could be a Ranger/Paladin multiclass, with Devoted Tracker (because Paladins never lie). If AJ is a paladin, she should have Serenity, to change her Int abilities to Wisdom.
Rainbow Dash. Canonically a Rogue. Rogue/Scout with Swift Ambusher could fit her, although maybe a higher spec build would do her awesomeness more justice. I would need to revisit her build.
Whatever her build is, she would have maxed ranks in Tumble, and every feat that requires flight, especially the upgrades to fly-by-attack.
She could also be a Paladin/Rogue multiclass, which also multiclasses quite well with the supporting feats and prestige classes, but most importantly because of her ideals of courage and loyalty. Shadowbane Inquisitor could fit her at high levels.
Rarity: Rarity is tricky, but I would stay her as a Sorceress (she's charismatic, but not so bookish as Twilight). She has ranks in Craft (weaving), which qualifies her for the War Weaver prestige class. As a War Weaver, she would have applied her knowledge as a seamstress to weaving magical spells in combat to aid her allies. She could also be an Initiate Of The Sevenfold Veil.
Trixie: Beguiler, spec into Magical Trickster and Combat Trickster. Max put her Bluff and Sleight Of Hand skills, which can enable her to make it look like she's casting fake spells with her Beguiler magic (using magic to perform fake magic, galaxy brain). Give her The magic-blooded Spark template, and dump her Wisdom score. Give her Presto's Hat Of Many spells as her entire character wealth, and nothing else.
Celestia: she could be based on a Celestial Charger; advance a Half-Celestial, Radiant unicorn with Cleric levels, and then 10 levels of Radiant Servant of Pelor. You could give her divine rank as well, depending on how powerful, but a more tame approach would be to give her the divine spark ability from DMG2, so she would have the Sun Domain powers. If she has divine rank, it should be no higher than 5 (demigod), because she is a character who can indeed be defeated. Note that even 1 divine rank is a big deal.
A lazier approach is to make her a Solar, but replace the alternate form ability with the unicorn's horn abilities. Give her any/all light/fire based spells that seem appropriate.
Luna: should be similar to Celestia, but replace any Cleric spellcasting with Shadowcaster spellcasting. Also give her maxed ranks in the Lucid Dreaming skill, and also give her all of the oneiromancy feats so that she can enter the dreams of anypony and fight battles there. She should have Dream and Nightmare as spell-like abilities, and would be able to use her dream abilites to reach out to the party as a quest giver. Also give her max ranks in Craft (Dreams) just for giggles (the one who spots the reference gets a cookie)
Discord:
Discord is a Chaos Dragon with the Archdradon (Chaos) template. He is a literal god, not demigod, so he has divine rank, likely 6 or higher. Give him the Chaos-related Salient Abilities, as well as Alter Size and Alter Reality.
[Read more] >>189537Chryasis: the Villain of the campaign, so she should be of especially high level, higher than Cadence because she defeated her in this timeline, but not necessarily formidable enough to solo Celestia without backup/trickery. I would stay her has a half-fey, unleesie fey doppelganger or changeling (Eberron), or even a Succubus. Her class assortment would be Spellthief (use the Trickster variant, if she's has doppelganger/succubus RHD), with 10 levels in Chameleon. Chameleon would greatly supplement her disguise ability, and allow her to duplicate the abilities of any mid-level character, being able to change her build every day. She would have Master Spellthief, so that those doubled caster levels from Chameleon stack with her Spelltheft, making her incredibly potent against spellcasters and able to absorb their power to do unexpected things. With Godsblood Spelltheft, she would be able to dish out 9th level spells of her own if she steals some from a caster (which she has cocooned), preferably Shadow domain so that she can imitate more spells with Shadow Conjuration/Evocation. Craven would make her a potent sneak attacker as well.
Anarchomancer could also give the option to make an entirely different character she it disguised as long-term
Tirek:
Tirek is basically an archfiend and might be better to have a unique statblock, but if I were to give him stats, I would make him a half-minotaur, half-goristro taurirc creature.
His lower body would be that of a dungeonbred advanced warbeast gorgon. Great physical ability scores, natural armor, bull-like body. Dungeonbred makes him medium, btw.
His upper body would be that of a primordial half-giant. Powerful Build, +4 Int and Cha, levitate at-will.
His entire body would have the half-minotaur his size to large and giving him all the minotaur jazz, and then half-goristro (variant half-fiend), increasing his size from large to huge (counting as gargantuan when grappling) and gives him a bunch of fiendish spell-like abilites.
Then he would have class levels. Give him the Spellfire Wielder feat, and then give him 10 levels in the Spellfire Channeler. With his monstrous constitution scores, he should be able to absorb a truly absurd amount of spell levels and channel them into all of the tricks he did in the show. Then consider giving him a few levels in Soul Eater, for more offensive energy draining and augmenting his natural attacks. His final build depends on what CR you're aiming for, having more levels in Soul Eater or Spellfire Hierophant.

Cadence: could also be a fey bloodline Sorcerer, with the Wild Soul prestige class.
Shining Armor: would be specialized in abjuration magic.
Twilight: straight Wizard with no prestige class, increasing the bond with her familiar (Spike)
Fluttershy: Spontaneous Druid who only knows "subtle" spells without dramatic effects, like animal enchantment spells, healing spells, and divination spells. This would allow her to be a druid without looking like a caster. Huntsman variant gives her unarmored wisdom to AC like a monk without Wildshape.
Pinkie Pie: Straight Jester
Applejack: possibly a Strength based ranger with lasso specialization
Rainbow Dash: Scout is similar enough to rogue to replace rogue, and gives her bonuses to speed. Skirmish is excellent with improved Flyby attack.
Rarity: could be a bard instead of a sorceress, but keep War Weaver
Trixie: possibly prestige class in Shadowcraft Mage, so she could use her illusion magic to imitate real magic.
Celestia: her build really depends on how powerful you want to make her, but I think she should be a Cleric or Sorceress. Giving her the Spell Domain could allow her to prepare spells from a book as a Wizard
Luna: should be a bit less powerful than Celestia
Discord: doesn't necessarily need to be a deity, but he needs to have some kind of reality altering power. Maybe a rank 1 deity with Alter Reality
Chrysalis: if she's a succubus or half-doppelganger succubus, give her Improved Energy Drain and Spell Drain, to add to her energy draining powers. She could also have levels in Warshaper.
Tirek: same as above, for more spell/energy draining. Give him improved grapple and make him a general unarmed combat natural weapons build, to benefit from his soul eater energy draining. Mage Slayer, Pierce Magical Concealment, Pierce Magical Protection, Occult Crusader and Occult Opportunist could allow him to be highly effective against spellcasters.
[Read more] We know where we are going next, right?
I can already see it: Posey riding the whale, two heavy machine guns on it's shoulders, and a bomb in it's gut looking down smugly at a very irritated Bat.
>>189584This has been part of my plan to take over the world and succeed on the battlefield in the face of modern technology: autonomous undead airforce.
At high levels, I could try using Haunt Shift to make undead possess airplanes and tanks as Haunting Presences. Imagine a rusted, decayed airplane magically animated by a haunting wight pilot, with a crew of skeletal gunmen, fueled by pure hatred of all living things.
Swarms of tiny undead can carry and activate grenades, serving as autonomous drones.
I’ll be at BABScon this weekend, but I will see what I can do for replies
>>189601Take your time to enjoy the con. We waited this long; we can wait a couple more days.
Just try to be ready to advance the plot later. I would like to finish up this adventure soon.
>>189537Are there any other characters I should sperg stats for?
>>189601>>189609Just,... get out of CA before you turn gay
>>189609So we can get to the next adventure.
>>189615He's worried people aren't enjoying this adventure currently
