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.

Actually, they're still safe in Thez' bracelet. He hasn't gotten them back yet. All he has is the bracers of armor, his flaming sword, and a ring of regeneration.

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 has he not taken them back? They are so useful

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.

If he can increase his Str through legal means, why shouldn't he? It doesn't make your character any less strong.

The most he could get is gauntlets of ogre strength, which is +2. He'd have to exchange them for his gloves though
