Occupied Equestria: Day 4 Afternoon

83002 83004
Set six years after season 6, Occupied Equestria presents an alternative history where Chrysalis chose a different approach to her second attack on Equestria. The Changelings have conquered half of Equestria, while a former Equestrian 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.

I beg to differ because I have that feat that lets me attack again per kill/knockdown.
It all depends on dice though. Fingers crossed.
Iron rolls his eyes. "Fine. I guess I will have to do some unconventional methods to help him out." He decks the annoying guard with the shotgun on the head non-lethally. He has gotten tired of his naggy attitude. Of course, he puts all possible hit bonus chance to damage.

If he is going to stop after only exploring the first room rather than everything in the house while he still has stealth, then sure, maybe he would quit while he's ahead. Now write up a character that would have motivation to stay in the story

Okay, so Iron is extremely intent on getting the police called even though he's already served his purpose as a distraction. I guess I should let him

>>84535
>>84533
The problem Iron has with punching the shotgun guard is that there is a physical barrier between himself and the guard that blocks part of the way, and places him out of swinging range. It used to be a complete barrier, but Iron broke through the window. Now, he would need to climb over the barrier to close range. I guess he could just simply jump over it, and maybe, maybe he could do that with a move action, meaning he can punch in the same round. He would need a dice roll each for the jump and for the punch, and would also need to go back outside to the other two guards. Because jumping over the barrier is a complex action, I don't think he could do that simply as a surprise. He would need to roll for initiative against the guard

Ah, if that's the case, then I'm not going for it. I thought it was a simple one punch per pony, knocking each of them down for funsies.
Nevermind.

Iron shakes his head. "Fine, fine. I will move out. I will come back next week. He still needs to show her true colors." Iron then starts walking off the entrance and opts to find a building to wait on, as close as possible to the neighborhood.

Alright. Be aware that Iron does not commit to the punching since he realizes that he cannot just jump in the booth, knock the guard down, then go back outside and knock the other two. I thought they were at roughly the same room.

Because both the attack roll and most importantly damage Igor unarmed attack is determined by strength. Very importantly also, Silver does not have the +2 damage and +1 attack to unarmed attack that Iron does. The lack of weapon specialization and thr lack of strength makes the whole engagement lopsided in favor of Iron, even with slightly higher defensive stats like HP and AC. You need offense to win a fight, and Silver couldn’t quite compete

Dude, whether it's sex or an epic battle remembered nostalgically, it's not about fucking numbers. Numbers and math and systems are a tool to help create a story where otherwise the story would be freeform and challenges non-measurable. They are NOT supposed to supersede or take priority over characters, story, or the actual carnal aspects of sex. Jesus

I'll disregard the whole 'sex performance' part of the book and just focus on values con focuses on like endurance. Str is more to have a little powerplay between the two than an explicit rule in that book, not that I remember if there was.
>>84597
It's like you just said. It's a pretty good guide on how characters interact with the situations they are dealt with. That is why I said something about Silver's possible bad rolls on Silver & Storm's fight, since it's a justification for subpar performance on attacks. When you ground it in these numbers, the fight itself gains more value since you can imagine how the fight went through the dice. I'd say it's more inmersive for the players reading that way.

When he returns to the house he sees that it is still empty with lights off, although there has been some barking of dogs. he would have taken note that while this guy is rich enough to have maids clean or guards follow him, he has neither living with him

>stallions who wanted to be mares
I suppose I went too far with the whole 'true identity' spiel to be labelled as a cross-dresser. Surprising since Iron does not even resemble a pony who tries to change his appearance to look like a mare.
Or maybe it's the guard that's shitting itself, having been planted the doubt in her mind, and the others are trying to reassure him that he's a stallion.

Idk wtf is going on, but Sister Ash's first priority would be to search for the missing foal. She'll use Caleb's sense of smell to detect any traces ponies within the mansion.
