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.

"But.. his hoofprints were right here.."
Sister Ash is now very confused, wondering if she followed the tracks improperly.
Rolling survival to try to find the trail again.

He seems unsure for more than a moment. After a long pause, and most definitely after looking Silver up and down, Glass says "sure, right this way." He walks up to a door near the bar that says "private residence," which he opens to a hall that has a separate door that opens to the street further down, and has a staircase. He heads up the stairs and says "We have a Crystal Empire veteran who sleeps in that room," pointing to a small room "He works for me, though he's out tonight with some small group. What kind of room were you looking for again?"

When the light is moved, you can see it is a policemare. At least, you can assume it's a policemare, because she is wearing a blue uniform with a blue cap.
"Ma'am, this building is supposed to be closed down and locked. What are you doing in there?"

One thing you'll learn about Baltimare is that basic fire safety is rarely followed. There is exactly one point of entry or exit to this room, and that is the door you are looking through
"Oh, only 100 bits a month"

"Alright, ma'am, you need to leave this building"
From behind the officer is another voice
"This area is closed, please back away"

The policemare looks incredibly startled, and then backs away slowly.
A cream coated mare with a black jacket, red tie, and a blood red mane steps forward. With red telekinesis she aims a gun with a drum magazine. She slowly turns and looks to Ash
"Are you one of the forward sentries?"
>>70979
Hmmm, I'm not sure if it's too late if I should count this

This slightly worries Silver for entirely different reasons, but he sets it aside to look at Glass after he mentions the price. "Not bad...I think I will take it." He levitates a pouch of Bits out of his saddlebags towards him, marked with a white streak. "He should be first month's payment."

He simply nods. "It helps to have necessary funds on trips. Also helps to have way to defend yourself." He looks around idly a bit. "So...would you please show me to the bath? I am admittedly in dire need of one."

The road that way is dark, with only a few lamps illuminating it. A very loudblack and white car rushes towards you, and stops diagonally on the roadway. More police, you can tell. But these police have guns. A stallion gets out of the passenger side door, and points a revolver at Ash with one hoof. "Don't move!" A yellow mare gets out of the passenger seat, and does the same

He nods again and makes his way there without another word. He doesn't take much time in there, but despite that he's managed to make himself look civilized compared to how he looked previously: his light grey coat is shiny and healthy, broken only by a hooffull of scars that are too big to have fur regrow over them, and his dark grey mane and tail, partially age-greyed, are now properly groomed, and he's wearing some simple dark pants and a clean white button-up shirt, along with his greatsword in its sheath, and his saddlebags. Immediately after, he seeks out Glass to see if he has anything else to give him on any potential employment.

He privately finds it a little annoying he keeps repeating himself, but doesn't put a voice to it. "As I said, anything involving fighting." He pauses for a second before quickly adding: "It does not have to be strictly about fighting. It merely is what I am best at."

"Well, New Mareland is always looking for fighters if you are willing to exchange that sword for a gun and go overseas. Doesn't pay great though. I suppose their is need of body guards. Hell, a guy in this bar paid some native guy 400 bits for some sort of job tonight"

His name is Dark Star, and he is a Dark brown Earth Pony with black mane and wears a black leather jacket.

"Sounds very...interesting, I guess is word for it. I will have to keep eyes and ears open for this 'Dark Star'." Silver grumbles a bit at the name, mulling it over in his mind for the faintest clue as to if he's heard of him before, but he turns up nothing. He gives up after a minute or so, choosing instead to look at the selection of drinks the bar has available.

The top of the list contains a number of basic beers that you could reasonably expect any Equestrian bar to serve, largely from the mid-equestrian regions. They also have a malt from the barely of South Severyana, liquors, ciders, and some sort of off brand whiskey. Incredibly, they have wines from Aquellia and Blackjack whiskey from Skyfall on the list, though at vastly greater prices due to the embargo

"You do very well for what I imagine isn't exactly best neighborhood in Baltimare." Silver considers the menu some more. "How about some whiskey, if you don't mind? To commemorate new day in new city for me. Not stuff from Skyfall. It is too rich for my blood, I am afraid!" He lets out a small yet hearty chuckle.

"I suppose that is why I am mercenary and you are bar owner." Silver counts out double the amount of Bits needed for the whiskey from his saddlebags and places it on the counter. "Have one for yourself. It is better to drink together than to drink alone, after all."

He stays silent for a few seconds to consider his words. "I have heard good things from those who run it. Bad things from everypony else. I learned long time ago to not trust words at face value. From what I have seen myself, it is regime using ponies' own sense of injustice and their own naivety to gain power, wealth, and influence. It is sickening at times, watching what was once my people, proud people, get played with like foal's toys." Silver pauses, letting out a heavy sigh. "But, it is not my land, and they are not my people. Not anymore. It is land of these...Communists, now." The word doesn't seem to roll naturally off the tongue for him, as if it's completely foreign. "As far as whatever they decide to call it, it does not matter to me anymore. My father is dead, my family, if they are still alive, are somewhere in what was once Equestria. I have no ties left to the 'Motherland'."

I've always imagined the primary theology in Equestria would be monastic and centered around the worship of Celestia and Luna as living deities. Not exactly the ideal place for Clerics, I would assume.

Well, it was more of a technical issue.
Clerics in particular need to have a direct covenant with their dieties to receive their Granted Powers. I wasn't certain if it would work the same way if the gods were somehow incapacitated; for that matter, I wasn't sure what rank (if any) Celestia and Luna wonder.
At least with a Druid, you don't necessarily have to have all your spells granted from your deity, although you may depending on the circumstances.

I wonder if kirins wouldn't just have their own deity/set of deities, as collectively they're not a part of Equestrian society and wouldn't have the same connection to Celestia and Luna that most ponies have.

Class features seem to be similar so far; although some may seem a bit obsolete due to the presence of firearms and automatic weaponry.
I can't tell you if loot rolls are going to be the same though, or what equiptment you can choose from.

I'm not really sure at all, tbh.
Since I'm a Druid, I can only wear non-metslic armor, which restricts me to leather, hide, and dragonscale. My armor doesn't work in Wildshape unless it's specially made (Wild Armor, about 9000 gp). Druids are also resticted from wearing mundane/deep Crystal as well, so idk what armors would break code of conduct in this case, or what exist.

Then again, quadripedal/non-humanoid creatures wear Barding, which Nat or may not expand available armor options.
Barding costs twice as much though.

I saw that when I read up on the Druid class. Wooden armor seems interesting, especially for a kirin, once you get the Ironwood spell. Speaking of, as it says it's restricted to level 6 Druids, is there leveling in this game?

I imagine a lack of bipedal creatures would mean that barding here just works as normal armor, and costs the same.

I saw that when I read up on the Druid class. Wooden armor seems interesting, especially for a kirin, once you get the Ironwood spell. Speaking of, as it says it's restricted to level 6 Druids, is there leveling in this game?
>>71043
I imagine a lack of bipedal creatures would mean that barding here just works as normal armor, and costs the same.

Yeah, but I can't cast Ironwood until level 11, let alone build and enchant a suit of armor.
I wanted barding mainly for my Animal Companion.

Because I only learn spells at a particular level.
Spells are ranked 1-9 in power. As a lvl 5 Druid, I can only cast 3rd level spells.

Ah well, I guess as a Fighter Silver isn't going to get much use out of spells, even as a unicorn.

There should be some leveling, yes, although I am uncertain how quickly. The math used for determining experience in 3.5 I found on one site pretty much implies that grinding is impossible and only battles that have a very serious chance of character death give xp - and then, not that much, and I have to wonder how any character ever survives to level up.
Keeping the characters not-significantly more powerful than their surroundings, at least for the moment, is a part of my anti-murder hobo mechanisms, anyways

I found this calculator online (I've used it before for metafaggotry purposes); it's decent for encounter experience.
Certain situations may increase the effective CR of encounters/traps/mysteries too though.

As for grinding, DMs may also award XP at regular increments to advance a story, or award it for solving problems or good role-playing.

"Murder hoboing" is when players in an RP campaign, rather than engaging with a story or interacting with NPCs in any meaningful way, simply kill everyone and everything they come across as they move from location to location

Also this.
It's a somewhat derogatory term, to describe players who have all but given up on role-playing or trying to play a decent story, and thus just kill everything in sight.
Killing isn't always the solution to a problem. A murder hobo is someone who doesn't get that.

I, however, would prefer to keep muder-hoboing to a minimum, for this character in particular: she wasn't designed as a violent/ruthless type.

From what I've seen of her, I wouldn't take her as a violent one. Unless maybe you really, really, REALLY pissed her off.

Sorry for not being at the previous session. Had real life stuff to do.
Iron, while extremely angry that this bird had stained his honor, did know when to admit defeat. Therefore, he backs away from Redclaw, clearly retreating. He plans to swim until he cannot see the docks and surface when under a dock roof or when he reaches a clear shore.

Basically, he's not from the civilized world. Very traditional was his upbringing. He travels to mature as per tribe traditions. The best thing you can have is raw, natural strength for him, for a stallion. He's a sucker for honorable fights, one to one, only hooves.

Unless someone was paying Silver a large enough sum of Bits to do so? No. Just was curious if he had 48 total and had only 17 left or if he had 79 total and was currently at 48. To be honest, I have no idea how many hit points Silver even has, himself.

For HP, you have to roll a 1d10 for each level. In this case, you start at level 5. Constitution gives you 2 more HP per bonus point. (13 Con gives you two more, 15 gives you 4 more, etc)

Alright, this is wrong on two parts. First, your ability score bonus is calculated by the number of the ability score minus 10, divided by 2, and rounded down. Odd number ability scores give the same bonus as the even number one lower. So a 13 is +1, 15 is +2, 17 is +3, and 19 is +4. Further, you get one point of HP per constitution modifier per level. At level 5 is this +5 if con is 12 or 13, +10 if 14 or 15, and so forth
>>71113
And thus a unicorn somehow has 50 HP

Simple, use your wings and fly there. For the flying impaired, it looks like there's a trash container on the side that could probably be claimed or jumped up to get to the top, and who knows if there is an internal stairwell, or a ladder somewhere
