>>68306we are starting at lvl 5, so you have 56 skill points you can use.
>>68306If you wanna be a Fighter, you're definitely going to want Power Attack.
https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:Power_Attack >>68309I also highly suggest this.
>>68310As a fellow fighter I third it
>>68313This slightly less edgy looking horse is Onyx Steel. The newly made criminal...

Is this ok or should I put more points on skills?
[Read more] >>68316Skills are pretty important.
It's fine if you want to wait a bit to sort things out. I still haven't picked all of my feats.
>>68317That's for sure. I added 8 points already by the creator, but it seems to add by 0.5. So should I add 48 more skill points?
>>68314>those eyesI’m not sure you want to use that color scheme. Or use it, see what happens.
>>68316That will work, just please note that fighters only have 2 skill points per level plus 8 at the beginning. With an intelligence modifier of -1 plus your cutie mark skill points, you only have 16 skill points, 8 of which must be in one skill that relates to the character’s cutie mark.
Also, a character who is s native pony of the forbidden jungles is a splendid choice
>>68319i would suggest doing that,yes.
>>68319You only get a 1/1 ratio of skills/points on class-specific skills. Cross-class skills advance at 2/1. For a fighter, that includes things like moving silently, which is predominantly a rogue skill
>>68320Thank you.
So after the first 8 from normal D&D I put 8 more limited to cutie mark relevance. Then I have the rest of the skill points to distribute as I please or I just have 16 points total?
>>68324You have only 16 total if we strictly adhere to the rules for the fighter class. That other player with 56 points is playing a Ranger, which has more skill points
>>68325Ok, so my char is fully done. Feels good.
>>68327Does he have a name? or would you like to reveal that in game?
>>68328I'd rather do it in-game. It's a rather simple name, fitting for a tribe name. But I can show how he looks like.
Warning: Kinda dull looking
>>68330Looked messy, so I took it. I like how he turned out. Gives the "I live in a jungle vibe".
>>68331Thanks man.
>>68333Oh cool.
>>68335>>68331>>68332Any hints on your backstory, you three, or will you expand in-story?
>>68336Well, other than become a criminal there's not too much to Onyx.
He's a crystal pony who servered in the war
who has one glassed over eye. >>68336I haven't thought very far into detail in terms of backstory, but I think i:'ve got my character's traits semi figured out.
I decided she would have come to the city because it would be the logical place to find impoverished ponies. She's only concerned with helping the poor, in addition to natural creatures.
I'll expand on how her dispositions cane to be later on, as she interacts with other characters.
>>68336I Would Prefer to Expand on it in character.
>>68337Huh, it's flexible. Wonder how you'll expand him later. Lots of potential, can go anywhere.
>>68338It's nice. Good waifu material. Can't wait to see her backstory.
>>68339I bet she/he is addicted to mangos >>68340>Good waifu materialHuh, I guess I made a decent character after all. Thanks.
>>68340Thanks! I look forward to seeing where your character goes too.
>Waifu materialThis gonna be good
Well, it was a nice chat. I'll see you in the afternoon, maybe even midnight. Let's have fun times together with this game!
Remember, no commie
>>68278He looks astonished, as he was apparently expecting something different.
"Rope... There is a hardware store on Mareton Hoofer King Avenue that sells rope. As for Rats.... You may find those wondering about in trashcans on the same street at no cost."
>>68289Or you can do that
>>68279Sister Marery seems to have shut herself up now
>>68294Oh God....When he gets to the East side tavern he can see a few ponies there. In the corner a jolly stallion in a sailor's uniform speaks to an older wealthy looking fellow with a fine unicorn mare next to him, lost in a conversation. At the bar, the bartender yells something about his help being three hours late, as a Brown, overly edgy earth pony walks in and head to the bar. Besides ponies playing pool and so forth.
>>68288The Policemares grab onto him and walk him to the Police Station. Everytime he moves his forehoof, he feels a sharp pain, which the policemares do not fail to notice. They take him into a room with a table, and set him down. He is left alone for two minutes, and a Unicorn stallion, light grey coat comes in, along with a pink pegasus mare with a blue cap. The Stallion says to him
"You are not under arrest at this time, we just have a few questions for you"
He looks at you. "Do you perhaps need something to handle your pain?"
>>68293I know alignment is normally a big part of D&D mechanics, especially in older systems like 3.5, but I am fine doing things differently. In a normal D&D campaign, you make a character, and that character reacts to the world thrown at it based upon its personality. Here, I kind of want to throw the characters into the world, and you make choices as they are presented, and the character becomes who the character is based upon the choices made. That's the hope anyways [Read more] >>68288Note that as you arrive in the police station, a set of police officers search you for weapons and the content of your pockets
>>68349"Well, you seemed like the type who would want, shall we say, a
protective vest"
>>68350"Well... Your not wrong. How much would one cost?"
>>68351"A few hundred bits, depending on your preferences.
"What we have in stock are a few... Army surplus vests. Nylon fabric with steel plates woven in, used by Equestrian pilots in the war as protection against shrapnel. They've become somewhat popular among wealthy ponies who think themselves possible targets of crime. They will not stop a rifle bullet, but they might stop a knife or fragment of shrapnel.
I cannot tell you it will feel like you are wearing nothing at all. You will feel the weight on you, it will make you a little less maneuverable, and a little harder to jump or swim. But you may just be able to fit one underneath your jacket without any pony noticing."
>>68352"That Sounds like something i would need."
*gets out bits pouch*
"how much did you say?"
>>68353He takes you into the back into another room. It has several suits of armor. He picks up a green vest. It has a little thickness to it, but doesn't look heavy when he holds it.
"This one here is a... fairly standard airman's jacket, against the Changeling air-defense guns. It is mostly heavy Nylon, with some steel plating. Around 12 pounds, not too bulky or heavy. It costs 300 bits."
>>68354"And this thing can stop a knife?"
>>68355"It can stop many knife attacks, yes. But I don't know if I can guarantee you a knife that hits solid into it won't pierce it. What I can tell you now that it will improve your odds against all manner of danger - artillery, knife, claw, and maybe a glancing or distant bullet. Many an airmare is alive today because of it."
