A D&D RP game based on My Little Pony, and the Hearts of Iron 4 mod Equestria at War, featuring an Equestria where the Princesses have been deposed, and Equestria is split between Changelings and a former Equestrian colony

Thus far, Dark Star has joined the fascist faction, and is taking on a job to assemble a team to stop a Communist cell. Onyx is no longer being detained, Ash has sort of joined a nunnery, Iron has joined the Waterside gang as a loanshark, Brie is still being edgy, and a new unicorn has joined. All are ready to reconnoiter the Docks.

I'm not going for it. It does not really add that much. I'll stick to the fighter class only. Maybe I just transfer the dumb dex skills I picked up and put them into intimidate, if that's possible.

No need to rush. We're all still fleshing out our characters.
I finally picked muly feats, and I think I've decided on skill set I'm satisfied with.
I took Augment Summoning, so that my summons can take a few more bullets before going down. I also took Fiery Burst, so that I'd have something to do on rounds where I'm not casting spells and so that I can reserve them. The injuries I took with that Dire Wolf were a factor in that decision: I was juggling riorities on how I could keep the two ponies from getting injured and not completely kill the wolf at the same time, all without wasting spells; in the end, I lost half my hit points and two of my most powerful spells for the day because I wasn't worrying about my characters safety and taking the first chance to attack.

>Without wasting spells
Now hol' up. "Fiery Burst" is intended to be a way to turn an otherwise lame fire spell into a way of inflicting a reasonable amount of damage at a distance. It is not intended to be a free flamethrower with infinite ammo, no weight, no vulnerable fuel tanks, perfect accuracy, and much better damage die than a firearm. Fiery Burst works kind of like the Paladin's Smite Evil in 5e - you've got to trade a spell to use it.

You can't exactly see the docks itself because of the angle she's at. What she can see looking through the door is several ponies taking out crates and putting them in a pile. She can see the reflection of lights on the seawall and.... is that another truck?

It's a one of the "reserve" feats, from the Complete Mage: it works as long as you have one of those spells necessary to use it left for your daily spells; it doesn't say anywhere in the description that the spell is consumed. That class of feats is meant to give wizards a fallback ability that deals minimal damage, but can be used so ong as they haven't used up all of heir spells.
I can replace it if you don't like that though.

And what about my efforts to close the distance between me and the griffon advisor? Are both of these actions halted until the players controlling Dark Star and Shimmering Spark arrive?

It's in essence a feat that grant so access to a supernatual ability so long as the mage still has spelks in his/her reserve. It works like those psionic feats that onlyou work so long as you still have a certain number of power points leat

That's just me not entering the dice field correctly. The actual numbers are in >>70666. It's 21 with a good amount of luck - plus 1 for Point Blank shot. That's what a level 5 rogue can do with a light crossbow on an unsuspecting target less than 30 ft away

>>70667
Why would it require you to have a fire spell prepared to cast it if it didn't consume a spell? And it's like 3d6 damage at level 5. I think that's as good as our fighters do, except they can miss and they have to close the distance. A druid who has no spells or wildshape shouldn't be superior in fighting capability to a fighter at the fighter's best.

You can make a new character if your character dies, but I would prefer that players not get their characters killed by recklessness

Well, I could replace it if you wanted.
To me, simply casting the spells is a better option in most serioussituations, because they do more damage at every level than the fiery burst does.
Produce flame is first level: it does 1d6+5 and kets the caster throw balls of fire for ten minutes.
Flaming Sphere is second level and lasts one round per level and can be directed as a move action every round.
Call Lightning lasts for several rounds and can do up to 3d10 damage, before considering the effects of metamagick.

The burst power requires that I intentionally hold back and reserve spells (hence the name) at each level for me to actually be able to use it: it useful for killing insects and not blowing important slots on random encounters, but doesn't help with the situations I actually prepared said spells with, so not op inot my opinion. I just thought it'doesn't be especially reliable for a Druid.

It's all your decision to make though. Just let me know if it's a thumbs down, so I can replace it.

He's not expecting you to attack him, so you might be able to flank him with a grapple.
Plus, since he's holding a rifle instead of a knife/sword, no AoO for him.

Hmmm, I think normally there would be a grapple check. Maybe if the only thing you do is push his head under you can do strength alone, but you wouldn't have a grapple

Plus his flight feathers are now wet, and that cuts his chances of escaping by quite a bit.

I have a couple questions:
1.) How far in the future, compared to the events in the show, does this story take place in?
2.) How long ago was it when firearms became widely available in this universe?

These are questions I would like to be clarified as well.

Before I go wasting a roll here, do I use the grapple check or the strength check to start the grapple?
