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.

Int really isn't that important to fighters though.
He placed them in Strength, Dex, Con, and Wis: his most important stats.

That is it. He had enough of this griffon's stubborness. His honor was wounded and now he's angered further, not caring for a fair fight. He rolls a swim check to swim faster yet again and now adds up +4 damage on his punch and explicitly target the wings, so that the cowardly bird cannot fly away if he reaches out the water.

He's not an overly-intelligent pony, nor does has he had much reason to change that. He's not stupid, and his status as a unicorn helps that fact. He just needs to know how to fight, and what fights he needs to get into.

Yeah, but then he'd have to dump another Stat.
I wouldn't trade Wis for Int if I were a fighter.
Besides, he doesn't have very many skills to pick from anyway. Nobody needs more than 5 ranks in Jump, so all he'd need would be to put the rest in Intimidate.

Yeah, but the less skill you have, the more you depend on random chance to help you out, so pick wisely. However, do not go for dexterity skills if you're going for a figher unless your dex is high and don't plan using any armor.

I wasn't planning on it. If it was allowed, I was going to have my character start out with some heavy armor, and I kinda figured it would be pointless to invest in anything that would already be hampered so much.

I've got one that works. A basic one, but it's an idea nonetheless.

On the streets of Baltimare, a lone and strange-looking unicorn stallion, greatsword at his side, makes his way through the lamp-lit streets, looking for lodging and otherwise in an unfamiliar city.

The buildings in downtown are fairly large. A few 10+ story office buildings stand in a strand in teh central business district. 3 to 5 floor apartment buildings and department stores dominate most everywhere else in the densest locations, while more than a few factory smokestacks protrude in most directions on the horizon. This is a modern industrial city. It is not nearly as big as Manehattan. It is not as glamorous as Canterlot, nor as wealthy as Los Pegasus, but it remains the Urban cornerstone of the Equestrian Southeast. Think of it as a poor-mare's Manehattan. No.... that title belongs to Fillydelphia. Maybe think of it as a poor-mare's Fillydelphia

Unused to cities in general, he's put off by the shear scale of it all, and how strangely tiny it makes him feel.
As for the issue of lodging, he considers something formal for his immediate needs, but decides something less-so is in order. All he needs is a room, a bath, and some employment suiting his abilities. In this pursuit, he continues the search, looking for a place where the owner would have some information for him.
