This RPG is set in the land of Equestria after it has been conquered and split between the Changelings and a foriegn fascist nation. It is based in large part on the Equestria at War mod for Hearts of Iron 4, and uses D&D 3.5 mechanics

4 of the group have taken a job to clear a site of a future real estate development of undead. They seem to have stumbled upon a centuries old evil long forgotten by Equestria. Meanwhile, Ash has discovered foals from the order of Saint Prancis orphanage practicing dark magic and sacrifices in the woods, while Iron is having not-so-pleasant dreams

If that's the kind of dreams he's having now, then I think Iron has more issues than just having a sore asshole from being anally raped by a large dog.

He was paranoid from the lack of stallions guarding the abbey, as well as it could be a revenge plot through dream manipulation by one of the mares who spiked him with something when he was asleep, He has options

Unless you would be willing to put a wooden holy symbol in the place of the single, non-masterwork weapon an ascetic would carry(usually a staff, club or sling since they cost 0 gp), but Clerics are really much better off just wearing full magical armor and weilding weapons they themselves crafted, they're the only class that can Sanctify Relics afterall.
Sister Ash carries a broom (Quarterstaff), because it makes her look good. At the warehouse, she brought a homemade shield.
Ascetiscism feature was mostly meant to apply to Druids and Monks. Druids are able to cast without holy Symbols, but they'd still have to pay experience points in the place of costly spell components, or otherwise beg for the materials if they needed to cast a costly spell (bringing people back from the dead is expensive). Being an Ascetic druid just feels holier though, because you're in essence trying to live as 'naturally' as possible. Monks use weapons and armor anyway, so the Vow actually helps them break their ironic dependency on wonderous-item equiptment; and being a self-punishing Ascetic is pretty Buddha-tier, even if you have to miss out on all of cool loot rolls. It could also them get spells by taking the Apostle of Peace PrC, which is easier for them since Vow of Nonviolence is easier to follow when your primary form of attack does nonlethal damage.
However, being an ascetic also makes you somewhat more dependant on your party members for things that can be more easily accessed via items, like planar travel, ability buffs in combat, healing, penetrating specific damage reduction or resisting harmful status ailments and death effects. It's good for a support-based character though.

Unfortunately, because Silver doesn't have any skill points, and because he has a -1 Int modifier, he is unable to check for secret doors or traps at all, so he can't respect the dungeon.

TBH, I'm not a big fan of the RPG mechanic where Intelligence or some other equivalent is the universal determinant for how many skill points you have. It always makes that one ability infinitely more valuable than any other ability, even if it's not essential to your class.
>>77890
Seems more like good way to waste potions, time, and/or get yourself killed.
>>77891
Unfortunately, Silver is kinda broke, and the party already got their big payout from the job at the pier, so I doubt he'll ever end up with enough money to buy anything like that.

The most preparation I could muster was summoning a dog and bringing a tower shield, which turned out to be very helpful.
I considered taking a day or two to try to gather info, but then I figured that sister Ash would be in a hurry, since she didn't know what was happening to the children as she waited. In the end, she wasn't able to save half of them (yet).

You'll get more shekels later. That's the best part of the dungeon crawl (unless you're an Ascetic and can't use items).
I'm sure you'll get plenty of chances to equipt your character.
>>77896
Artifacts are a bigger deal than you'd think.
Magick items though.

I very explicitly told you that investing one of your superfluous awesome stats that you didn't need for anything practical would be best spent in Intelligence. But noooo, you wanted to make Int the dump stat, and place the fourth awesome stat in wisdom or charisma or some other ability that isn't very useful to fighters

Either way, Silver is a few steps behind everyone in terms of equipment already. The best he has is a basic steel greatsword and a normal "breastplate".

Plus we did kinda piss off the GM by leaving the tunnels prematurely, so I don't expect many favors in terms of rewards from him for a while.

I didn't know, I'm new to the game. At the same time, there were other players telling me that what I had was fine, so I didn't think much of it.

Rolls are the best part. That's the cool stuff you get in addition to standard treasure.

Or, you could go ahead and donate all of your worldly possessions and take on a life of service to the poor

I'll hazard a guess that it was planned either by Skies (Most likely to do this, since I dissed hard on her non-existent tribe), Cauldron. (Less likely since she already had her fill of revenge) and a changeling conspiracy on the Abbey. (Which admittedly is kinda cool) Other options are what Ash's player said and it was all a dream type of deal.
