Occupied Equestria: Day 4

Welcome to the latest thread of Occupied Equestria. Set six years after season 6, it presents an alternative history where Chrysalis chose a different approach to her second attack on Equestria. The Changelings have conquered half of Equestria, while an Equestrian splinter colony - soured to Princesses notion of harmony with all creatures thank to their dealing with griffins - Invaded and took the other half. In Baltimare and the Equestruan Southlands, the magic of friendship has weakened, as Communists, Changeling infiltrators, Fascists, gangs, and even ancient necormancers and dark gods threaten the city and the surrounding regions. This role play is based in large part upon the Equestria at War mod for Hearts of Iron 4, and uses D&d 3.5e mechanics.

In the latest episode, we are starting day 4. Ash is finally getting to sleep after dealing with foals that scarified animals to evil gods, Iron is disappointed to find that the only sex he is getting is in his dreams, Dark Star has declined to have sex, Onxy has discovered the joys of socialized medicine, I don’t know what Spark is doing, and Silver has discovered that when you don’t complete a quest, you don’t get paid for it

An unholy whinny cries out as the integrity of the petite pegasus pony's snootendoodle is compromised.

She unfurls her wings, shifts to her hind legs, and strikes back now with both hooves

Hailing a taxi here is just a little bit harder than in the shops on the city streets, the reason being that the nunnery is on a large property at the top of a hill rather than on s main road. But it is simple enough to walk to a main road

Adding it to the Dexterity score immediately increases Silver's AC by 1 as well as his ranged attack score. Investing it in strength or con could pay off, but not until much later. I think that racial debuff to strength may be a bit harsh, as it decreases the damage roll by about 2.

I was thinking about Silver's optimal weapon choice.

I might just put it in Strength, regardless of whether you decide to keep the racial debuff at -2 or drop it to only -1. Dropping it to -1 would certainly make the decision easier as he would be at +3 Strength bonus, but either way he could really stand to have more Strength.

Hmmm... If this is the case, then the benefit for fighting melee over firearms is, well, not great for silver.

He gets a +2 on attack rolls, and 2d6+3 damage rolls for the greatsword not counting weapon specialization and weapon focus
However, he gets a +3 on attack rolls and a 2d8 on damage rolls for the bolt-action (Lavender) rifle. That's only a single point less than what he gets on average for the greatsword. If he has 16 strength, then he gets another 1 on both damage and attack on greatswords, and adding the point to dex gives him +1 on attack with rifles

Yeah, like I said, I haven't exactly made him into a good character stat-wise. For his backstory, though, he hasn't had much experience with firearms. His father was a melee purist, having served in the Royal Guard as a quartermaster at a time when the most advanced firearms in standard service were breach-loaded rifles and a skilled melee specialist could still perform adequately. Though with him being an earth pony and being much stronger than Silver it's much easier for him to be so. Silver learned how to fight from him, and his father taught him as much about earth pony fighting styles as he could, but without that earth pony strength, he'll likely never be able to fight quite as effectively in that way.

He knows how to operate basic firearms, with bolt-actions being the most advanced he knows, but he's never actually owned one until now. He's used them before, picking them up off the ground from fallen enemies, when not doing so would leave him defenseless against a ranged opponent, but otherwise he's always relied on bringing his opponents into situations where his talents shined the best. Close range combat where using firearms put an opponent in disadvantage. One-on-one fights with only one direction for his opponents to attack him from. Using his surprising agility to dodge weak bayonet strikes and to counter with a powerful cleaving attack immediately after.

So Silver was supposed to be a ranged attacker instead of melee meta-wise. I'll keep that in mind.
