Dark Star has been contracted by the occupying government to lead a team to infiltrate and stop a meeting of the Communist party in Baltimare. He discovers that they are importing arms, and more importantly, special forces advisers from foreign nations. Things reach a literal boiling point when a warehouse of gasoline drums is set on fire, and now we will see who will live and who will die

With regards to builds, there are a few possibilities. Unarmed combat is actually a pretty massive advantage under certain circumstances, specifically when killing an opponent would result in unwanted police attention. If you wish to do that, I recommend taking the two-weapon fighting feet and using both hooves, that way you can have two attacks, and do strength damage times 1 1/2, rather than just full strength damage. The other great advantage fighters have is weapon specialization, which gives +2 damage to each attack with the relevant weapon. Attach that to, well, something.
Also, if saying something in real life would cause an otherwise non-threatening person to punch you in the face, expect the same to happen here

Two weapon Fighting requires a pretty high Dex score to advance though.
If he had just a 1 Monk level, he'd get an extra attack per round, and his hooves would count as two-handed weapons (so they'd do double damage on a power attack). Plus, the bonus feats that come at the earliest levels in Monk.

Well, that was what I had in mind. I'll try to just use bludgeoning two handed weapons if I can.

Maybe for light and one-handed weapons. Could be for heavier two-handed weapons they have a bipedal fighting stance.

Can I use the warhammer as a two-handed weapon or does it just not work because the modifiers are super inefficient without feats?

I think so.
Really, technical details are up to the GM. I think he would have had a vision for how he intended Earth Ponies to find, so ask him. The bonus to strength and Constitution implies melee focus.

She did more than that. First, she made a sarcastic remark bout the legality of dueling and claimed to not like dueling. Then, in the very next line, she said that a proper duel requires the terms to be set by the one who is challenged, and not the challenger, which first of all is stupid and not how dueling works, but secondly and more importantly would require her to think of dueling as proper, and unambiguously favors Iron. It's pretty damned obvious when you blatantly contradict yourself in the very next sentence that you don't actually mean what you say, you are just making arguments to try to favor Iron in a fight that never involved Ash

Yeah, I was a bit inconsistent there.
Ash was just trying to stop a fight, but I couldn't help myself from asserting my own beliefs concerning duels/matches (which is, that that when you challenge someone, you fight on their terms).
I can't say that that was the most in-character thing to do, but I was close to passing out then, so I made some mistakes.

Although, in that regard, she said that dueling was "frowned upon" where she came from, which was actually my way of hinting it as a part of her backstory that I wanted to reveal later.
Her agreement with Iron was also in part her way of discouraging Blue from proceeding with the duel, because she thought that blue would put it off until later if she didn't consider the circumstances to be honorable enough.
It wasn't the best course of action or the fairest, but that's vaguely what was going through my head at the time.

And in the end, I resorted to spending a 2nd level spell to disarm Blue from shooting Iron or being shot herself, which I had intended to avoid with words.

I guess Assault of a Federal Officer did stop a fight, although Iron just saying "sorry" would have done it without, well, consequences

I'm free for the rest of the day if y'all still want to play. I might have to go eat at 6-7ish (est) though.

We need to wait for everyone to be here. Dark Star decided to shoot at Redclaw after those two rock throws that edged him closer to death and he will need every other available player to hit the goons with him.

I guess not, if Dark Star is intent on giving away his status as hostile right there in the crowd

With non-hostile enemies on the wharf, she could go pretty much anywhere she wanted in the wharf area, by which I mean the area between the sea and the warehouse, and from which the pier protrudes

I'd hate to get overly technical, but I'm going to need at least an estimate of how many feet away he is, before I figure out how I'm going to cast my spells.
Is there any cover she could use to hide nearby?

The area is almost perfectly flat and open, save for the one stack of crates, and the two two-and-a-half-ton trucks that are about 20 feet from it, and ten feet apart. Redclaw is between one truck and the stack of crates. The stack of crates is maybe 15 ft in diameter

So that's why it was doable for me to throw rocks at him. I thought he was near the ship, not the trucks.

>no cover
Hmmmmmm...
I guess I'll have to avoid casting spells with verbal or somatic components then, or at least not those tracable to the caster..
I guess there's fiery burst, although it only has a 40 foot reach, and will only do 2d6 since I summoned that wolf..
If she took out the trucks tires or gas tanks that way, they could easily believe it was a planned booby-trap /by infiltrators.
Sister Ash moves closer to the truck and crates along the wall of the warehouse, moving defensively (AC 12) until she's just 40 feet away from the truck (using the crates as cover).

When the day ends in-game, I wish to do a small rehaul of Iron, mostly deleting and adding feats to favour the weapon you mentioned while keeping the main allure of unarmed on the side.

Well this sucks. I really hoped we would have gotten started by now. Anyone still waiting for attack with Dark Star?

If we're ready to go, I would like to use a Fiery Burst to create a very small explosion beneath one of the trucks to disable it.
(Reminder that it's a supernatural ability, not a spell, so it isn't immediately obvious that it's her who caused it, except to an experienced spellcaster)

If you don't know, Dark Star will execute a shot on Redclaw, and we need all players to attack the goons he's with or else he'll die.

We're putting limitations on this somehow. It was never intended to be unambiguously superior to the options and limitations every single other party member has

Hello. Would you like to position your character on the wharf? He is not recognized as hostile, and so can go anywhere on it.
The area is almost perfectly flat and open, save for the one stack of crates, and the two two-and-a-half-ton trucks that are about 20 feet from it, and ten feet apart. Redclaw is between one truck and the stack of crates. The stack of crates is maybe 15 ft in diameter
