Well, the party has gotten some things in order and has made some arrangements and plans to attack Court City in full and not as a half-assed rescue mission because of a brain worm. Speaking of brain worms, the party just kinda shrugged their shoulders and forgot about that whole "Infernius going insane and running off" bit. Hmmm. Oh well. But anyway, everyone's got some ideas and plans to put in motion. Its too bad that Port Barry is currently surrounded one 4 fronts,... that's going to complicate things.
Welcome back to the Game thread, there's over 3 dozen of 'em by now, so pardon me if I skip the introductory formalities. If you want to join, or perhaps just join in on the shitposting cuz bored, feel free. I'm working on a metric to allow new players to get in without having to go through the process of full-on mapping out a character.

>>38765You always end up turning against me
I don't like being insulted or ganged up against. I hate the "this" posts
>>38766i "turn against you" because bringing up the stuff that you don't want to think about is psyche 101.
>>38767Am confused.
I can say I don't like being mocked, like the post earlier
>>38769im trying to help fix your brain if it seems like im your enemy at times im not.
which post?
>>38770The one early where you reposted the post Tracy's faggot made that was deleted
>>38771thats only because i thought it was a good point and made sense, that does not mean im mocking you and i think the only way you can work something out is talking out your problems with tracys faggot. because banning and deleteing posts do not help the problem.
If you land a Smite Evil melee attack on a creature that doesn't take damage from the attack due to Damage Reduction, does the creature still take the smiting damage, even if it's not harmed by the melee itself?
>>38772It's not the same had it at all. The alternate form makes as much sense as my character turning into a fucking mature Gold dragon, or being a half-celestial
\r
>>38774why dont you try to get something equivalent to tracys power? turning into a gold dragon does sound pretty cool.
>>38774The original idea was for her to just turn into a Nightmare entirely, but I asked for the "Going Ghost" option so she wouldn't be permanently disfigured and she could still go back to being cute.
>>38779i don't think both parties would except that.
>>38779>Unironically nerfing your own partyWhy go down when you could take the steps to go upwards instead?
>>38781Because I fucking hate your etherealness and flying
>>38783you could have those too you know. and you could even gain them through a quest.
>>38783Plenty of creatures can do it. And as far as racial abilities go, it's not that big of a deal.
Both Torc and Infernius can do it with their spells; spells which they're able to cast spontaneously without preparation or material components. Thez can do it via class feature. I never see you get salty about those.
>>38784This.
>>38783Will gib boots
>>38784That's ridiculous and you know it.
Tracy's gagging has also managed to go
faster than normally allowed in flying and etherealness because a nightmare is twice as fast as a normal flying create, and because GM has said "fuck the rules. Self propelled creatures are twice as fast ethereal, not half as fast"
>>38785Thez gets it from 19 levels of monk. Not from bullshit
>>38786>That's ridiculousThe Etherrealness and Astral projection seem kind of meaningless, but changing race via quest isn't unheard of.
>>387861. the gm can say fuck the rules hes the gm.
2.its supposed to be ridiculous it is a fantasy game after all.
>>38789Fuck transracial haxxor
If you're committed to playing a magical beast, then give up the ability to use weapons
>>38790Well I can say pic related goddamn it, and NONE of you have to like it. Neither do I have to like any of his choices
\r
>>38791YOU'VE FUCKING DONE IT BEFORE! And you were using it to hide from my character, so it was annoying
>>38793I have?
What?
Fucking when?
Tell me when the fuck Torc turned ethreal.
>>38792>then give up the ability to use weapons She never even once used a two-handed weapon in that form; I made sure of it, since I knew she wouldn't be able to in that form. I got the Helping Hands™ to fill that niche for the future though.
>>38792dude do you understand why you line of thinking is wrong?
its really close to leftist thought im not saying this to try to piss you off but its the truth.
>>38794The last time I remember was the leprechaun incident.
Also, a Filcher snatched my sides that night. Let me know if you see them floating around on the ethereal plane.
>>38795Fuck your alternate firm bullshit
>>38795>Helping Hands™That's what I'm calling them from now on, btw.
>>38796I'm just spitting your logic back at you. It is you who have the leftist line of thinking
>>38797B-but he didn't turn ethereal, he teleported oo the plane but he didn't turn...
Did he?
>>38801you do realize im a nat soc right?
>>38804You do realize I am not a leftist right?
>>38803Thez brought him there with her ability, then Torc stayed there using his blinking charm.
>>38806My brain hurts so I'm gonna ignore this
>>38804Somehow I'm pretty Ancap unironically. Not what I thought but at least its not ancom
fuck roads >>38805tell me which bit of my logic makes me sound leftist?
>>38809The whole thing is an ad hominem diversion
>>38805That's not the point. What he meant was that it's irrational to fixate on what other people have instead of working towards what you could have or trying to get moar for yourself. Not all haxx are the same, but everybody got them in some way. There's no need to take something someone else has for the sake of "balance". Shit doesn't have to be perfectly-evenly distributed to be functional or fair.
I can easily tell your definitely not a leftist, but that kind of logic is dangerously similar to the fundamental aspects that make them so dreadfully wrong.
Do Intelligent Items get Will saves?
>>38813>Not all haxx is the sameCorrect. Getting four or so free abilities from drinking blood bullshit is a radically different form of haxxor that gaining assassin class without completing the murder component or than wielding a sword from a magical beast mouth
>>38811why are you using ad homonyms then? and i know you arent a leftist im just saying your time at uni has poisoned your mind.
>>38813>irrational to fixate on what others haveWrong. One of the first things you did with that bullshit was use it against my character repeatedly, and I didn't have anything to compete with your bullshit
>>38817then ask for something to compete with m8 pls.
>>38818I've already asked for flight (at like one third the speed and not at will) through an item, and for limited teleportation, but that was shot down
>Local man ignores town burning down around him, shitposts instead
GM, how'd that spaghetti attack go last night?
>>38819then tell gm thats unfair to all the players.
>>38821There's no way to make it fair. Almost nothing flies as fast as a nightmare, and the way GM interprets etherealness (which I think is wrong, but whatever) there's no way to equal the speed
>>38822there is a way dude,the gm can make anything happen in game regardless of the rules.
>>38823I want the abilities nerfed
>>38824you cant get that, it would make the collective weaker.
>>38825No, it would force Tracy's faggottry to figure out how to use the Rogue's class skills in Climb, pick lock, hide, and escape artist
\r
>>38815>gaining assassin class without completing the murder componentShe had to kill Kefka and the Tarrasque in front of the entire Port to gain that class. The point of that part was for her to kill someone and make a really big deal out of it.
The point of the Assassin's initiation kill is that they gain their arcane Death Magick (the Death Attack) by becoming death-like themselves: the first kill serves as the ritual by which they acquire that magick.
>>38827Look at the initiative roll and line up. Trump was next in line. That was his kill. Not Tracy. Also, the purpose of the kill has to be to join the assassins
\r
>>38819We could craft some Wings of Flying if you want it. They take a while to make, but we could probably just BS the crafting process by using the feathers of some magical beast, like a griffin or some shit. Idk why you'd want to fly with items when you have two flying mounts though.
>limited teleportationYou got the Helm of Flash step: that's 100 ft Quickened Dimensional door.
>>38822>nothing flies as fast as a nightmarePegasus flies at 120 ft.
And why does it have to be as fast as Tracy anyway?
If you want momentary uber-fast flight for Trumpaladin in emergencies. I could level her up as an Assassin so she could Produce Control Shape scrolls.
>>38828There were no Assassins to be joined. Tracy was going to start her own Assassin style, and for that she had to show everyone just how lethal she could be.
>Trump was next in line.Point taken.
>>38830>no assassins to be joinedThe point is that the requirement for Tracy to gain class in assassin, and thus get the Death attack, was bullshitted, and no one gives a damn, because that's a radically different kind of jazz than you've been using to get unicorns and eggs rather than being creative with your rogue class skills
>do all sorts of other bullshit to make up for your bullshit haxxorOr we could just not have your bullshit haxxor
\r
>>38829That he did... Tracy didn't even land a hit on him..
>>38830>Control Shape scrollsActually, Torc can scribe those too.
>>38831>was bullshitted, and no one gives a damn,Oh come on. Darkie's an Assassin, and he's not even Ebil.
>to make up for your bullshit haxxorNo. I just thought you might want to be able to shapeshift into a Pegasus for a few minutes because reasons.
Speaking of Eggs, how much bigger have Sam and Bunny gotten since they hatched? For the sake of character, can they be slightly different colors?
>>38831>get unicornsWait, what? Tracy doesn't have any unicorns, or any other ponies yet for that matter.
>>38832>Darkie is not evilI think he was evil then switched alignments. Regardless, the point is assassin requirements have been bullshitted and that's a form of haxxor I do not care about
>Pegasus because reasons>implying Trumpaladin hasn't been a pegasus this whole time >>38834You used that Ethereal bullshit to get the unicorn, both to escape a grapple and to get past a dozen guards. You also used it to get the eggs, along with the flying and smoke screen, even though those probably were not necessary. We'll never know I guess because of the bullshit
>>38836I mean, he has human form in the game, so racially he's a human
>>38835I felt like I kind of bullshitted the Blackguard requirements more desu. Thez was an ebil outsider, but she wasn't summoned. That's why want Tracy to summon summon Hags.
>>38839hey man sorry about calling you worst mod.
you're actually my favorite. Is the drama over, can I come back now?
>>38839I also wanted it to give her character some explanation on why she transformed to begin with.
The Night Hags are the bosses of Fiendish transformation via ritual. They created nightmares by altering Pegasi, and created the powerul Altroloths from Yugoloths as their servants. Even the Hags themselves are formerly members of other humanoid races, transformed at puberty through thirteen dark rituals. If anyone has answers for what turns ponies into Nightmares, it'd be them.
They're the most Outsiders of NE alignment and the creator of Nightmares, so they're the most appropriate Fiends from which Tracy could learn her Blackguard disciplines.
>>38844Aww
*Gibs all the hugs*
>>38845She already knows the answer. It's jew blood in her case.
>>38846Half of that was Thez's blood too. I made a point of her drinking both vials, so her alignment would remain NE, like a nightmare.
Besides, it's not that she's part Demon/Devil, or then she'd just have a half-fiend template, like Thez did. It hybridized in her and became its own form of ebil.
>>38846would you feel better if i purge her blood of the jew particles?
>>38850Sounds risky. But it may be necessary
>>38848>Tracy has added evilYep. We need to purge it
>>38851Maybe
>>38850Go ahead. Tracy has no need for residual (((Demon))) essence, when she's already become a Nightmare.
>>38853But I already gave all of the hugs to Infernius's faggot.
All of them.
Okay
*hugs*
>>38854*more hugs*
>>38859Don't tempt me.. Nightmares have higher Int, Wis and Char than she does...
>>38830Tbh, I wouldn't mind hunting some (((griffins))) for their wings, or any other reason.. Too bad they're way below the party's CR now..
>>38864You know she could easily have all of those with items anyway, right?
>>38865Then why do you want a trans-racial operation for them?
>>38867want if infernuis wanted to become a big mac type poner?
>>38867Su abilities are cooler.
And don't compare her to that literal monster.
>>38866MORE HUGS FOR THE HUGS GOD!
>>38868You're weird sometimes
>>38869Okay, but you can't keep those two
>>38871why? infernuis might want to be a poner.
>>38865id love to hunt some (((griffons.)))
I'm hittin the hay, night faggots
>>38876what time does gm get off work?
>>38865>Too bad they are way below the party's CR by nowThis is more or less the reason I'd like to take it slow with the level advancement and limit haxxor. So we can enjoy the simple things, and don't need an arms race with opponents as much
>>38879On a Friday? I though he'd be off by now
>>38883Probably. He says he has a girlfriend, I imagine that would take some time. He also does other things I am sure
>>38878Goodnight!
>>38881Nevermind what I said. I forgot all creatures could be buffed by adding hit dice and feats.
>>38885>>38885I guess that's true. I talked with GM and he confirmed that Fae should be bigly with the hit die added from the Paladin's Mount class, which would make her the equal of Cauchemar Tracy in a few regards
>>38886I want to summon Tracy's sidekick soon..
>>38887And I want a Silver dragon for a cohort
>>38890Think that Triceratops could be trained?
>>38891its dead? can you train a zombie?
>>38892We can revive it can't we? Tracy took its horns and skin. I think Torc cut off a chunk of the carcass as well.
>>38887It'll take three levels before she can do that though.. I guess she has time to plan.
>>38893yea whats your handle animal skill? mines 4.
>>38895Idk how Multiclass points work desu...I put everything I could into it.
>>38896i just remembered animal is hitler's domain so we could most likely tame it.
>>38898gm said i was being a faggot and said hitler's domain is animal and good.
>>38890You should try to do something so fucking huge, ridiculous and zealous it cannot possibly be ignored.
Go full extremist.
>>38899I think that was because you bullshitted us with that Teleport.
>>38901it was in the spell list though.
>>38900i wiped out a communist village.
>>38899>>38901Infernius's faggot said that Hitler's domains were "animal and good," and then GM brought it back up when he pulled that teleport bullshit
>>38902>CommunistI gave Tracy bonus points in my relationship math for not participating
>>38904REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE they were commies dammit!!
>>38905They were mentally disabled persons who were being taken advantage of by mafiasos and leftist politicians. Even if they were communists, they should have been given the opportunity to repent first
>>38902Apparently not enough.
Think bigger. Make a noise so intense that it could be heard from heaven. And I mean a REALLY BIG noise.
Channel all of your latent autism into pure zealous frenzy.
>>389071.theres no talking to communist's they arent retarded they are brain washed and CANNOT be talked to or trusted.
2.do you know what the communist did in berlin?
>>38908wipe out all kikes even the capitalist one?
>>38908I need to make Trumpaladin more attractive to his god. More souls, more money, and more glory
>>38909Perhaps if they were real communists, then sure. But living in a Communist country is not the same thing as being a communist. Vladimir Putin was born in the Soviet Union, and he was even an officer in the KGB. But he's a Nationalist hero
>>38910That would be pretty impressive
>>38912hes a dirty soviet disguised as a right wing politician
>inb4 i get KGBed >>38910And all of her millions of shitposting glimmernigger. Every single one of them, without mercy.
Tracy would be willing to help take-out Glimmer.
>>38911That too.
And be noisy about it. Make spam the evocation.
>>38911>>38914Leave our money farmer alone!
>>38915he needs to go he told to me to get thez a gemstone that would kill her.
>>38914amazing pic make it red.>Tracy would be willing to help take-out Glimmer.thanks.

>>38916T be fair, it was Infernius who asked for it, and there's no way Ben knows shit about the NEP.
>>38916I'm pretty sure he tried to talk him out of it
>Implying anything less than the full strength of the party could come close to equaling GlimmerShe's the Princess of Haxxor you know
>>38917he asked for a gem stone more rare than a diamond and ben said "the only one i can think of is the voidstone"
>>38919Well yeah because you asked him a question and he told you the truth
>>38920he still tried to kill me.
>>38921I hate kikes more than anything, but I don't think that was his intention.
>>38922he told infernuis to go get a stone that could kill him, he knew he was too stupid to quit untill he got said item.
>>38924I don't think Ben can be blamed for Infernius's deliberate indifference to futility of his quest
>>38925kikes are sneaky that way.

Fuck you new picture uploading system
>>38773How does Damage reduction work? Do attacks still land on targets with the ability?
>>38930It works exactly as the name implies. Unless the attack is made by a type of attack that goes around the damage reduction, the amount of damage the target takes per attack is reduced by the amount of damage specified
>>38931Unfortunately I don't think you're going to get much more impressive than a Cauchemar, so nothing will really excite you. Sure, you can summon actual demons, but controlling them for your own ends will be more difficult
>>38932>I don't think you're going to get much more impressive than a CauchemarI'm not looking for combat capabilities. I want something that fits the niches she lacks in, but also synergizes with her abilities.
>>38933Didn't mean to submit.
What's most important is that it matches her character thematics.
>>38933>I want something that fits the niches she lacks in, but also synergizes with her abilitiesLike what?
>>38934And what are her character thematics exactly?
>>38932Do creatures that take no damage due to damage reduction still take damage via Smiting?
>>38936I'm getting the impression from the wiki that Smite evil just adds to the amount of damage done in the attack, but does not modify the type of attack, and so would not circumvent damage reduction if the attack would not circumvent damage reduction
>>38935Something with deft hands that could do carry hold things or use simple items. I want something intelligent, not physically strong, and it's gotta be ebil. It'd be nice to have something smaller that could follow her in stealth wherever she goes too.
Something with minor spell-like abilities would be nice.
>thematicsNightmare mythology, ghosts, edginess.. etc.
>>38937Does it add to the damage, or the attack check? Enhancement bonus is different from extra Damage.
For example, the Power Attack feat allows you to detract from the attack roll, but increase the damage of a successful attack greatly.
>>38938Power Attack is great if you have a high base attack bonus, btw.
>>38938You want a house elf
Smite evil adds the charisma bonus to the attack roll and the paladin level to the damage roll. For example, Trumpaladin would receive a +4 bonus to his attack roll and a +16 to his damage roll
>>38939I agree. I don't think I ever specified Trumpaladin's last two feats, but one of them must be power attack
>>38940Shit.. I was hoping you wouldn't figure it out..
>>38940Also a requirement for BG.You'll want Improved Sunder too, because otherwise that Shatterspike is only counts as a +1 longsword.
>>38942Do you mean like the old European myths, or like in Harry Potter? House Elves are spooky, desu.
>>38942>>38941Eh, I can put that on the list of possible companions Trumpaladin wouldn't need to kill/I wouldn't be too jealous of
no offense>>38943Improved sunder is a good feat for him to acquire, but to specify it as his sixth feat now is a bit... I don't know
It's a +3 longsword, thank you very much
>>38941Okay, serious question, can I decorate your character, and what kind of enchantments do you want?
>>38945>What kind of enchantmentsFor items? She'd appreciate anything she has a slot filled-in for.
She currently doesn't have a belt, boots, or a helmet.
>Possible companions Trump wouldn't need to killAn Alp would be the archetypical sidekick for her, desu.
>>38946I meant in her Cauchemar form (she doesn't have many slots in that form, but only the horseshoes and maybe saddle are filled), but that is something to think about
What is an Alp? I can't find it anywhere
>>38947>AlpThe older, darker version of elves in European mythology (Alp literally means "elf"), and an early inspiration for archytypes surrounding European vampires. It's pretty much exactly the same as a Night Hag, except it takes the form of a small elf boy or fairy with pointed ears, sometimes with mildly demonic features. They're wicked, sinister beings (although sometimes whimsical and carefree) who travel the countryside by attaching their invisible bodies to the backs of horses, entering the homes of mortals and feeding off of the dreams of the wicked and sinful, whole they'd treat upon while they slept. Like the Germanic Night Hags, they're associated with myths surrounding sleep paralysis and especially nightmares.
In some instances, they're known as "Sons of the mares (hags)", implying that they're sent by evil witches and demons to do their bidding, playing tricks on humans and tormenting them as they slept.
Alp appear quite a bit in Germanic folklore especially in Dark Age German prayers.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alp_(folklore)http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/nightmare.htmlhttps://www.vampires.com/the-nightmarish-alp/http://the-demonic-paradise.wikia.com/wiki/Alp >>38950what is that on her chest and how do you kill it?
>>38951It's an """"elf""", or so it says..
It's apparently incredibly hard to catch, and even harder to kill.
Gosh I want to summon one now. It'd be perfect: basically a small Night Hag, with a disposition for >rape.
>>38952silver? holy water? a blessed hand grenade?
>>38953Problem is, they disappear as soon as they sense trouble. They turn into ghosts and you never see them again until you find yourself paralyzed the dark after the worst dream.
They're supposed to attach themselves to people filled with sin, similar to incubuses.
>>38951This
>>38953Also this
>>38952Just get a Harry Potter house elf
And please stop trying to kill off one of the prides of /mlp/ and replace her with your own conception of a European myth that never was
>>38955But I don't want a Harry Potter house elf. I want a badass Dark Age """elf""". It'd be perfect.
>>38956its more of a demon, it would fit tracys style.
Tracy is now banned from Trumpaladin's room
Congratulations
*sets magic circle against evil around bed*
>>38958Ikr. Would make a great ebil sidekick.
If it had Hag abilities, it could ride on her back or shoulder while ethereal, just like it would in myth. It could shapeshift into a humanoid as well for all sorts of utilities a pony might need assistance with.
>>38960Fuck your Ethereal bullshit
I forgot to mention. Etherealness is now a ban and post deletion, because that's the easiest solution
>>38961>>38961Feels so much better saying that
>>38882I had to run the night shift today because the plant manager is a jew. Not literally,... but literally.
Btw,... ffs ppl
>>38965Thez didn't gain it by bullshit, and doesn't use it to steal from party members or to get around actually having to RP well.
