A new Role-playing game, using mechanics from DnD 3.5, and the Universe of My Little Pony and the My Little Pony based mod for Hearts of Iron 4, Equestria at War. The setting is an industrialized Equestria after the nation has been split between The Changeling Empire and former Equestrian colony.

"Do you take me for a fool? You must have at least one of those corpses." Iron hated hunting since most creatures ran away from him the moment they see him, and he was not the sneakiest one, only passing the hunting test out of luck when he threw a rock so hard that the prey was knocked unconscious. "Fine, did the hunters tell you where to find them?"

Cotton Stuff pauses for a moment. “If what you want is the hide of a black bear or a wolf, I have a couple that are not suffed, and of course several that are stuffed. If you want a fancy fur suit, I know a few outlets. If you want the corpse of a dead wolf or bear, I know a couple vendors. If you want to hire someone to make a corpse for you, who I send you to will depend on the animal. And if you want a live bear or wolf, well, I’m not sure if it’s legal, but....

Like what are you trying to do exactly? If you don’t mind my asking.”

"Oh, so you do have unstuffed hides." Iron looks relieved by this sudden change. "I want it to wear it as armor. I heard bear skins are pretty tough." Iron lowers his eyes "And no, I do not want to protect myself with something like metal. Only weaklings use that."

Sorry for that roundabout way of saying what I wanted. Had to consider all options.

She hears now a growl, and a very large shape walks out from the woods before her. It’s a wolf. And I don’t mean like an ordinary grey wolf that is smaller than a pony, no, this is the grey wolf’s badass grandpa: the Dire Wolf. Like a timber wolf, but a bit fleshier and less magical. It stands on the path before them and growls. The two other ponies are terrified, both clinging to each other

Cotton stuff holds up the bear skin, and it’s too large for the whole thing to be lifted off the ground. “This beauty is 30 bits, and a wolf is 25. As for armor, well, if you’re looking for what the elite trust to protect them, well, there’s a high end store called ‘pommel’ that up front sells fancier clothes than you’d care for, but in the back sells high grade armor if you ask. Adventurers tend to go to the Jungle Gear store, closer to the docks.

The fire burns the fur and some of the flesh of the Dire Wolf. It’s not enough to cripple it by any means, but it certainly grabbed the attention of the Dire Wolf. A scaly pony that shoots fire and doesn’t die with 16 damage, and the wolf is beginning to think it made a miscalculation when it picked a fight with a Dragon. The wolf retreats 30 feat and stares in pouncing position with a “what are you” stare at the.... whatever it is

Sister Ash pushes the five foot ball of fire menacingly towards the beast, simultaneously using it as an improvised shield (it would have to move around the ball).
The sky above crackles with energy, as she prepares a readied action call down another bolt of lightning on it if it makes another threatening move.

With her wild empathy, she signals to the wolf to begone, or face her wrath, her left eye now leaking flames and half her face charred black as she growls through wounded pants.

Of course Iron takes off the leather belt, then puts on, in order, the wolf hide,the leather belt and the bear hide right there. After this he inspects himself through the reflection glass.

Mainly to see if the hides actually fit, which may make me go to a tailor or cut it to my measurements. Also you can tell me how I look more accurately to others.

Iron hesitated to answer. "I heard there is business on hunting predators, so I thought to take advantage of it. Now can you do the job or not?" The only predators he would hunt are the sneaky vulture-kind, that sustained themselves by loans who did not intend to pay, as the payment was satisfactory to him.

"Well, sir, we've had to restrict our supply. They are rather expensive, but we have a few"

You can take another bite

He's a bit further back in the trees, watching

>>69169
Well, you can get it back if the case is closed, but if you want to chalk it up to another weapons sweep

>>69173
He's a bit confused. "do you want this to be the armor itself or would you like it as an aesthetic venir to cover a more traditional nylon and steel jacket? If it's the former we need to boil and harden the hide, the latter is an easier process"

>>69176
Sure

I've had it.
Sister Ash gives a prayer in her bative language, and a bolt of lightning drops down on the wolf, where it stands.

Iron is confused. "What advantages and drawbacks do both options entail? Can I do this process on my wolf hide as well?"

"Well, you see the hide on it's own isn't that strong until treated. When it is treated, we could make a substance that will do a lot to stop animal bites and knives, but won't do much to stop a bullet, and the more forceful and direct attacks from claws and knives. It will let you move around a lot, however.

Nylon and steel, however, are bulkier and heavier. But they are much better at stopping attacks. A basic flack jacket is mostly nylon with some steel plating, and is mostly maneuverable and less protective, and you can add more steel for more weight and more protection. If you opt for the steel and nylon, we can use the fur as a sort of aesthetic venir so it looks like a bear hide, or maybe even attack the plate directly to the bear hide in place of nylon.

Think about what kind of hunter you want to be. Do you want to be swift and able, but not as able to take hits, or slow but sturdy.

As for costs, the heavier armor will cost a hell of a lot more, but what else is money for?

Basically look at the armors in the Medium Armor class on this page, and choose what you want. Also see Splint Mail armor in the "Heavy" category"

Is that with taking racial adjustments into consideration?

The wolf is hit by lightning, and with a loud whimper, runs away as far as it can from the witch dragon pony
