With Nuts of course.
Happy Holidays to everyone! Whether you celebrate Christmas, Yule, Hearths Warming, or some other degenerate (Kwanza) or (((unspoken))) tradition, I hope you have a safe and 'as happy as possible' holiday season as you no doubt maneuver in and out of the world of normies and others!
I have no idea if any crucial gaming will occur weekend, but its about to get funky-fresh on several fronts. We last left Torcuil trying to navigate through Krenshal for someone skilled and crazy enough to build a Robo-ponk. Trumpaladin and Tracy were getting their things together to hunt a Unicorn with Elway's blessing and direction. Thez is being a little bit emo (its the hormones) while Infernius continues being a dutiful and upstanding guy.
What will happen next, and in what order? Will the players defy GM's careful designs for the umpteenth time? You can bet on that!

What did I ask for, and how is it against the rules of the game? Tracy wants to know why and how she transformed.
Night Hags created nightmares; in mythology, they're neatly synonymous.
And most of all IT'S JUST AN IDEA. What about this idea is so terrible that it had to be deleted a dozen times to keep it from poisoning the minds of the foolish goyim?

Nightmares, in the form of equines, don't exist in mythology. They are D&D creations, made to be the dirt of equine equivalent of a hellhound

You know this game is based off European mythology, right? There's a reason why Night Hags appear riding otherworldly ghost horses

Those aren't horses, those are demons. That's the meaning of the term "mare." That word is German for demon. It's not referring to a horse

And regardless, I just want to try it out in game just for fun. In the lore the hags are the ones who created Nightmare by dismembering Pegasi and subjecting them to a black magic ritual, so I just threw the idea out there that she might seek out the nature of her transformation by asking one, if she ever managed to somehow have a peaceful encounter. It was an idea to develop her as a monster and as a Blackguard, but still JUST AN IDEA.

As for Trocuil's skills:
The only class skills available are: Bluff, Concentration, Craft, Knowledge (arcana), Profession, and Spellcraft. Any other skill is available, but at twice the skill point cost. Concentration is the only one that's particularly essential desu, as it determines how readily he can concentrate (not loose his spell) if he takes damage during casting.

There was another article about hags on my computer which connected them to horses. The demons themselves are often depicted as horses as well. The French spirit, the Cauchemar, roughly means 'Spirit that tramples', the same way incubuses (aka "mares") and hags tread upon the bodies of the living and >rape them in their dreams.
The Norwegian version can be directly translated to "mare-ride". Under the Beliefs section, it mentions that the mares we're often depicted to "ride" horses, leaving them exhausted and covered in sweat in the mornings.
There's a reason why I've been pulling all these ancient Germanic, Nordic, and Iclandic folklore references out, like the Nithing. The story about King Vanlandi Sveigðisson, being assassinated in his sleep by a mare summoned by a sorceress who was hired by his vengeful, abandoned ex-wife was actually the reason why I chose to class her as an Assassin.

That Nightmare tactics article you linked once described the "pegasus with wings ripped off" thing as being a D&D 5th Edition creation. The wikipedia article describes the spirits of the night as appearing in the form of women, mice, dogs, cats, and I think bats but nothing about horses

Why not mix them a bit? I can tell that the Hags in The Game are clearly based off of the Hags in mythology.
Also, unban my main IP so I can show paintings from the Renaissance era to show how they're depicted with horses.

Agreed, particularly the Night Hags, as mythological dream invaders. Its not an expressed correlation, but its quite intuitive.
So I'm getting the impression that players want stat hax now.

Not true. He's not wearing the belt, or the sleeves atm. Infernius is essentially naked as far as buffs are concerned (in the buff? Xp), at least for now.

The real reason the BG class even exists is to give less-than-perfect paladins something to fall back on, when they can't find a Cleric to indulge them.

First I have to have Tracy steal something valuable for the payment, a fat one. A normal payment should be 500 shekels per HD for a task taking an hour, 1,000 shekels per HD for a task taking one whole day, and half payment for a non-dangerous task, but the ritual for turning magical beasts into fiends must be a well-kept secret to the Hags, so it's better to go full price. Nightmares are valuable creatures, sometimes sent to Divine Emissaries as rewards for their service to their lords, so the process of creating them must be an heirloom to the Night Hags; therefore, it'd be best to offer something close to ~20,000 shekels up front.
I g2g for a bit.

That's how Nightmares were originally created. Fiends subjected Pegasi to a black magick ritual, that involved removing their wings through torture, followed by a transformation to make them forcefully forgo their noble nature in place of ebil.

Explain yourself heathen!
Seriously, I get that Trump is dissatisfied with Tracy's haxx (ethereal, and w/e). I get that Trump is dissatisfied with Infernius' haxx (uber strength, boffing GM's brain-child), and that,... I get Torcuil being dissatisfied with Slovenia's haxx, cuz no WAY would a woman be so skilled at carpentry,....
But seriously, I get why Trump and Infernius are dissatisfied with Trump's hax. Why? Because they're outside the game rules, and thus not privy to review or ruling by the GM. I'll admit that I have my misgivings as well, but I'm not about to be a poor sport in my own thread.
To be completely honest, I have no issue with Trump doing sem-random (short term) bans or deleting posts. Desu, there's not likely to be anything ITT of such exceptional value or precise diction so as to warrant an archive of. Simply, we're a bunch of faggots, shitposting and w/e along D&D rules ish. If shit gets deleted, oh fukking well. On the other hand, along with that "OFW" determination, that's precisely the sentiment that is then applied to other characters and their Haxx. No offense (this is direct at Trump) but I spent as much time collaborating with other characters about Trump's haxx as I did with Trump about other character's haxx. Desu, I'm surprised its even come up this much. Long story short, if players want me to wipe the slate so that its 'agreeable', I can do that; but let me stress first that doing so would be so BORING.

Okay, I just think that for future reference >>37664 should be known. It's not just deviating from D&D rules here. We do that a lot and mostly no one cares. It's giving a character a set of powerful abilities (etherealness, flight, the ability to freaking light herself on fire, and wild shape to a much larger form) that belong to outer planes creatures. And this early in the game, without earning any of it - she wasn't even the one who knocked Thez unconscious or severed Soro's arm.
If a comparable change were made to another character, for example, if Trumpaladin were to become a half celestial, no way in hell it wouldn't trigger a wave of gimmees.
>a woman can't be that good of a carpenter
That's sexist. Also, she's a pony, which is superior to a human woman
