Welcome back to thread number like 5 or 6 of Occupied Equestria, a My Little Pony RP based heavily upon the Equestria at War mod for Hearts of Iron 4, and using the mechanics of D&D 3.5, and set in South-East Equestria after it has been conquered and split between the Changelings and a foreign fascist power

Onyx is cleaning glasses, Spark has secured a contract to clear a quarry of Zombies for a real estate developer, Silver is eating meat, Ash and Iron are trying to raid what they believe to be a gangster's den, and Dark Star is holding hooves.

After another perhaps 40 or so feet forward, they come across what must have been a door. The past tense is pertinent, because it has long since been pushed to the floor. The hallway now widens significantly, and shortly thereafter forks into left and right sections

So, I've seen people here say that you can switch out your character's ability scores for one another. If you can, and you switch out Intelligence, would you retain the same number as skill points as you started with, even if, by switching, you lose points in Intelligence?

Hellhounds are just diabolical attack dogs. Their physical stats aren't much more than a wolf's, but their fire powers make them very dangerous combatants when summoned.
The real question is, who the hell was it that's been teaching foals, who aren't even PC starting age, to conjure third level summons? (And how do I cash-in on those sekrits?) I'll need to get to the bottom of this.
>Tfw you trained for decades to learn how to summon, and a bunch of fucking 8th graders meet your maximum level on the first try
Anyway, this may call for disciplinary action. Ash still hasn't put down the silly filly who was cussing in Infernal.

I'll be back later. I'm busy atm.

>>76508
Sister Ash turns towards the levitated filly, and it becomes clear that her eyes are now glowing, and her fur has turned jet black (like an angry chameleon); subtle trails of smoke serp from the corners of her cheeks as she suppresses a growl.
"..You've all been very, very naughty ponies..." She says, her voice now dead serious

Alright, I was at a bar and phone posting when I did this last night, so I wasn't able to police this properly. First off, you do not get flanking bonus, as all foals, with the possible exception of the earth pony colt that brought the knife, are facing right at Ash. There is certainly no flanking bonus relative to the cream colored fillie after Ash starts talking to her.

Second, the "size bonus." While I am not certain that a size bonus would not apply, it's not a sure thing that it would either. Or maybe I should have opposed that with escape artist

Thirdly, and most importantly of all, you are using d10s for damage rolls on the lightning. JUst... No. No. I know why you think you can get away with it, because the weather is vaguely cloudy. But it certainly isn't storming, and because the night is described as being illuminated by the light of a waxing gibbus moon, you can be absolutely certain that it isn't that cloudy

Rerolling for the correct damage die on Fido

If you are outdoors and in a stormy area—a rain shower, clouds and wind, hot and cloudy conditions, or even a tornado (including a whirlwind formed by a djinni or an air elemental of at least Large size)—each bolt deals 3d10 points of electricity damage instead of 3d6.

As per the size advantage, I suspected that a filly would be in the "small" category, and thus take a -4 penalty against special combat maneuvers.
I was also on the verge of falling asleep at the time though.

Sister Ash takes a 5 foot step back and takes her move action to handle her dog to do the same.
She then releases a third bolt of lightning down on the hellhound
"Bad dog! Go back we're you came from." She hisses as the air above the creature crackles with energy

Her will fails her, and her bright eyes shrink to tiny pupils as her ears droop all the way to her neck. Her wings fall limp, and her knife drops from her hoof. Another colt pees himself right where he sits, and still another fillie falls into compliance. A unicorn colt, who before had watched the whole scene beside the fire, takes the knife with his telekinesis and bolts with all of the speed his young body can muster into the foliage

In the darkened room Iron can see a shadowy figure over the left corner, and intruder into the room. But this hardly dominates his field of view. Above him is a big, looming entity. It looks to be the shape of big red-eyed black diamond dog and it crushes Iron's lower body with its burly weight. Whether through the haze of sleep, a poison, the dark of the room or a lack of detail on the entity itself, not much can be seen of the dog but a black coat. The dog lets off a sort of malign laugh, and seems to pull Iron upwards so that he now feels to be floating.

Sister Ash directs Caleb to chase down (and potentially defend) the foal.
Caleb moves at twice his speed, so he won't get far.

Sister Ash takes the two foals to the Sisters' dorm (or wherever she thinks there will be adults).

Indeed there is. It is a letter, written in an older Ponish font, but still readable

"Dear Wirlwind

Through the past three months of observation, we have confirmed our worst fears. The old and reclusive Joseph Curwhinny has accumulated great power over the commercial trade of Baltimare over the past three decades, but it appears the darker rumors are true. Curwhinny's forays into Alchemy and the magical arts have given him a sort of power over life and death, a knowledge that he has no doubt increased over the years from his visits to Griffonia and Zebrica. He seems to have practiced his magic on imported Zebra slaves and missing sailors. He has robbed the graves of the dead so as to converse with their spirits, and learn family secrets he can use as blackmail for power over the living. But we fear that through his talking with the ancient and evil dead, he may learn secrets that are even darker. Secrets of great power that ought to remain buried with the evil stallions who once held them.

We believe that he practices his alchemical arts in a subterranean cavern under his northern farm. I have assembled a large group of ponies - sailors and townsfolk - who have never trusted Curwhinny in his decades here, and who are ready to put an end to this menance to all who live. Tonight, after Curwhinny makes his way from his waterfront mansion to his farm, we attack in force. Join us at the Old Mare's tavern at 5. Curwhinny has cast a dark shadow over all of Baltimare for years now. We are putting an end to his darkness tonight.

Sincerely,
Whipperwill

Sister Ash leads the colt back to the orphanage, taking the knife from him and wrapping it in a piece of fabric torn from her shawl. All the while she chides about the dangers of improper conjuration and the need for foals to get 16 hours of sleep every night, in a nagging but concerned tone. She doesn't let him leave her sight even once on her way back to the orphanage.

Caleb eventually nuzzles the filly to her feet, and points (like a hunting dog would) towards the orphanage, before looking back at her expectantly.

Onyx can see immediately that the bolt on the sub machine gun is all the way back. This is a gun that is out of ammo. A look at the ground shows what seems like most of the 30 round box magazine
