The Adventure continues
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 Princess Twilight's notion of harmony with all creatures thank to their dealing with griffins - Invaded and took the other half. In Baltimare and the Equestrian Southeast, the magic of friendship has weakened, as Communists, Changeling infiltrators, Fascists, gangs, and corrupt creepy politicians threaten the city. 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.
The Eastside Tavern Gang has broken through the house and pool-house of the politician Comte Burgher. What they found has been nothing short of astonishing. Deeds for properties bought by secret societies, seditious communications, cryptic booklets, concerning academic interests, and above all else, a sex dungeon with two young colts chained up, and traumatized. With these, they found something else: two caged and chained up adolescent Changeling drones. So doing what any logically minded group of people would do when encountering caged life-force vampires, they let the things suck on them, then took them home and hugged them and loved them and squeezed them and called them 'George.'
Dark Star is coming to terms with loss in the Stallion's room of the Eastside tavern, while Iron aids him. Silver dreams of an Equestria that is no more and his long lost family (while sleeping in a fairly awkward position). Ash awaits a new dawn of service, Onyx a new life of possible employment, while Brie and Spark stay in a small room with two strange guests

Like what are you all even wanting to do?

Brie just wants to go to the next day. This is stopped by Iron and Star not being asleep, and the problem may originate by:
a- Star's player is still not here.
b- I feel that, in-game, it would be a dick move to just leave Star brooding in there with just encouraging to confess his tragedies to Skies.
If b is not an issue and Iron can walk out without problems, then a remains, which by your suggestion, it implies that it can be disregarded. It's up to you if b is important enough of an issue to halt the game.
I wonder what's taking Star's player so long. He should be here by now. Talk about random chance.

Dark Stars eyes widen when he sees this he thinks to himself "my thought from earlier has been realized" so he shuts the door gently walks back over to iron says "i wasn't in the bathroom when you came looking for me,got it?" then Dark Star walks over to the window and climbs out then he walks 5 blocks over and curls up in an alley with some discarded newspapers like he used to do.

"That is false. Everypony can defend themselves with all the tools of war at their disposal, or are you going to tell me your two guns you used back at the catacombs are useless? Besides, the way Skies kissed you in that boat. She is eager to quell the same loneliness you have. You are practically made for each other." Iron moves closer to the stall. "I know losing your family hurts. Gods know I would not be here if that were the case, but you have the chance to come back. To resurface. To laugh at life's face and be happy in spite of your tragic past. Because right now you are acting like a deadpony, all passive and unwilling to risk your own hide to compete against an old stallion." He peeks into the stall. "Do you know what Skies said to me? She would be your foals first. Now tell me, are you going to separate with her after what she told me? You are only passing your pain to her, you know."

"No, I was just having good dream, is all..." Silver wipes some of the sleep from his eyes. He's a little disappointed, though it's not directed at Blue, rather it's directed at having the nice dream fade away. Even if his changeling-bitten mind was doing odd things during it.

Skies was in heat (presumably) and the two had unprotected coitus several times already. During the shower scene Dark Star was fully hoping to impregnate her. It is only likely she's not pregnant if you operate by the headcanon it takes the fully will of the mare to get pregnant (and she seemed pretty willing in the shower)

Isn't it a 20% chance minimum for impregnation, and didn't you have intercourse something like four times (ya horny dude)? That's 0.8*0.8*0.8*.08 = 40% chance Skies is NOT pregnant, and that's maximum

So if Skies is/was in estrus that's a 2.5% chance she is NOT pregnant. Better start saving up for that crib, Darky.

>>87097
Alright, first off, it was only three times (plus more oral, but that does not count for pregnancy), and more importantly, you can't just compound the chances each time, because some months a female just won't get pregnant at all, either because it happened to be at a time when the female was not fertile, because a fertilized egg failed to plant on the side of the womb, or for whatever other reason the pregnancy fails to take at all that month. If I were doing this completely accurate to horses she'd be in anestrous right now because it is winter

You probably should. GM should let you choose your spells, pretending you've done your prayers in the morning. After that, not sure. The mademare business should be handled well with Spark for diplomacy, maybe Star if he feels like helping and is not busy with Black Hooves stuff.

Alright, everyone can wake up, although maybe we should wait on Brie for Spark and Silver. Any idea of when you want characters to wake up and what you want to do with them?

Iron would wake up at 9 to 10 AM. He will mostly try to finish Ash's quest aka either go for the mademares or find Ollie. That can wait if the changelings are to be deported immediately, but he has to be notified to cancel the plans.

Silver uses a foreleg to shield his eyes from the initially blinding light as they adjust to the sudden change. "Ack! Останови это, солнце. Я еще не готов." While they do so, he takes a look at where Wesley and Kerr were sleeping, to see if they're still there.

I'll be honest and say that I don't quite recall precisely what my model was. Something like Hotel Lutetia or Hotel Prinz-Albrect, maybe 84 Avenue Foch. Only 84 Avenue Foch has a courtyard, and it isn't a hotel.

Iron stretches a bit more. From what happened yesterday, Ash would not be ready until some time passes. He decides to seek that unicorn foal again, see if he has his starvation problem still. He may have a clue of what's going on with him.

Wesley just looks at Silver, eyes wide open. He sees he has been caught making a mess of the entire floor. "Das war Kerr"
Kerr has stopped trying to bite it, and is now attacking it with green magic. "Ich kann es bekommen"

"And a good day to you as well" he replies

Iron shrugs. Stuff for later, it seems. He supposes he has about 3 to 4 more hours before Ash is ready to move out. He ponders if the changelings are awake at this hour, or the current guardians for that matter. He decides to think while doing some physical excercises at the abbey's garden.

Silver can't hold back the laugh from Wesley's response. Exactly what he would expect from a pony foal. "Nun, wer auch immer es war, wir sollten dieses Chaos aufräumen."
Before he carefully steps onto the floor, avoiding the mess of marbles Wesley has made, Silver nods to Kerr. "Wenn du es sagst. Ich habe festgestellt, dass die Registerkarte oben wirklich sehr hilfreich ist." He points to the tab on top of the water container used to open it.

Aww
Kerr has by now started attacking the container with both fangs and magic. When Silver says his thing, he stops, then lowers his jagged tube-like ears, and opens the tab by catching it in his fang and pulling it

"Wesley, kannst du mir helfen, diese Murmeln zu sammeln?" Silver's stomach grumbles again, reminding him that he should probably get some food in his belly soon. Silver reminds his stomach that it's hard to get outside to get food when there's a marble minefield in between him and the door.

That's a rather strange comment.
Iron nods, then proceeds to the blight zone described. He inspects the tree's toughness. With some bucking, they could be torn down. He also guesses if the cutting could potentially damage the abbey or any other building.

Before trying to dislodge the trees or break them down, he asks the nun who asked for help. "Is there any danger that these trees may hurt buildings or foals? If not, we can start the process of cutting them down."

Fuck. I didn't anticipate a need for 'small' missions. I guess I could have a 'go to this police officer and see if he takes a bribe,' or a 'see if this griffon merchant offers to sell illegal shit' or 'pick up surveillance bugs from this location' or 'talk to this bureaucrat and see if they are persuadable to talk about revolting' but I'm not sure if I can do those without it being rote or boring

So, for some reason, in this made-up game my mind came up with, there was a super boss in the middle of a large grassland valley with no trees in sight. It was the kind you were expected to go after once you killed the main boss. It was some kind of formless entity wearing a white cloak, and used holy-based magic to attack. It was very difficult to kill, but after finding out that it was weak to dark magic, I managed to defeat it. Didn't get any rewards for doing, though.
A couple in-game days later, I returned to the valley to see if I would get a reward, and this massive rift opens up in the middle of it, and out comes this giant, lanky, pale/ash-skinned demon, with the most terrifying evil grim you've ever seen. It was the size of a small mountain, and its hands could easily crush a small house. Apparently the other entity I killed had been sealing it away and keeping it from invading the mortal realm, and now that it was dead, it was free to invade the mortal realm and spread death and destruction across the world. So, we fought, and I managed to take out maybe a 20th of its life bar before it grabbed me, tried to tear me in half, and then threw me so far across the valley I hit the hills on the other side of it. Then it managed to cover the same distance in only a few seconds, grabbed me again, and finally managed to tear me in half. I tried fighting it about four different times, each ending the same way, before I finally woke up from the dream.

Uh, why did you even have those kinds of dreams? Did you play many games with allusions to demons like Diablo and other RPGs which focuses on demon killing before bed or something? Got frustrated on a boss and your brain decided to torment you about it? What the hell?

There are very few times when I can even remember if I had a dream, and even fewer times I can remember details about the dream long enough to relay it to someone else. When it happens, I don't know why my mind comes up with stuff like it, but it's always fucked up like that.

You need Jesus in your life
All dreams have this rule. If you recently woke up to a dream, you will remember the details for it, but slowly fades from memory unless written down. Most of the time, I don't even dream. It's like sleeping just to pass time, like how many games nowadays save progress when you go to bed.

Well, she is infamous for eating cake every day. It's not unlikely she would also take on prince-consorts as in the fanfic "The Sun and the Rose." Whether that's hedonistic or not is up to debate, but there's no question she lives in luxury.

Nyx is the "night" and represents the first offspring of the primordial Chaos before the beginning creation, feared by even Zeus. She's the Mother of Hypnos (Sleep) and his brother Thantos (Death), amd the proginator of all other personified deities. She's supposed to be as terrifying as she is beautiful
If Luna were in any way like Nyx, that would encompass the Nightmare Moon aspect of her.

"I know excessive punishment will lead to resentment or apathy." Iron pokes his chin. "From what you said, she was punished accordingly when the act of dark magic was actually done. That punishment should be enough to dissuade her from trying again for the time being. If you punish her some more from just owning the book, she will grow bitter or cynical and eventually stop following your rules of conduct. You do want her to be on the path of harmony, right?"

>hard nerf on nymphs
Nah, that's just the rule for powerful creatures. Nymphs have a lot of powerful abilities that make them as powerful as 13th level PCs at level 6.
Technically, any creature with at least 3 intelligence is playable under the rules of the game (with DM approval), with the proper level adjustment though.l0
Level adjustment basically means that a creature has certain powers or abilities than cause it to be considered X levels above an average creature of its hit dice: that creature needs tohavr more XP to level up, since it's effectively a level higher than other creatures.
Not all races are created equal, so certain PC races wlalso have level adjustment to balance them in gameplay.
For example, think of Drow. Drow are very powerful among elves, possessing boosts to Charisma and Intelligence, in addition to their elf traits and their most notable buff which is their spell resistance; the Drow's game-changing abilities give it a level adjustment of +2. In a campaign that starts at lvl 5, the Drow starts at level 2, but the Drow is still considered to be level 5 for the sake of Experience points, and that Drow also needs just as much XP to level up as a character of 5th level. The affects of level adjustment account for the Drow's racial traits making it superior to most other Humanoids.
Level adjustment is the game's way of allowing races of all kinds to be played, while maintaining balance.

It's fairly simple: before you can declare war, you need to justify a casus belli for a specific reason, ranging from forcing your ideology on a different country, to puppeting them, to taking their states. Then you just declare war and do your best to command your armies to victory. If one side ends up victorious, they can enforce their claims on the losing side, even those they haven't justified in exchange for appearing like a threat to the rest of their neighbors and increasing world tension even further. Different ideologies can only declare or justify wars if world tension is at a certain point. Communist and Fascist nations can declare war from the get-go, while Non-Aligned and Harmonist nations can only do so when world tension is beyond the 50% mark. Considering how much, in this game's headcanon, both the Changeling Hegemony and New Mareland have declared war, it's very likely world tension is well beyond the 50% mark.
The kirins will probably have a few states per country, ranging from 1 for countries like the Kirin Village, to 4 for minor countries, to 10 for major countries. I don't expect them to have anything close to the Changeling Land or Olenia's large number of states, and especially not Equestria's ungodly number of states.

Wake up before Silver (restricting you to exit through the window, being silent, and can’t kill or kidnsp the changelings), wake up after Silver and Spark leave for breakfast (can be noisy and leave through the door, but can’t remove or kill the changelings), or wake up while Silver is discussing his plan to hand the changelings over to Immigration with the changelings (no restrictions)

Going to dinner for a bit. Iron is still doing laps around the abbey.
>>87847
Alright, just understand that for continuity reasons Silver and Spark can’t wake up, and the changelings need to still be there when they wake.
It’s first light, something like 6AM, Silver is sleeping above Brie on the bed and Spark is sleeping on the floor by the door

Uh, yes, although we could have the last attempted scene with Brie as occurring in the morning. None of the characters have started main quests, although two of them have started their own separate mini-quests
>>87851
After some advancement, she can see what it is: the stack of a factory or mill

Yep, dumping waste in the water violates the NAP.
"Well, even if this section is on their property, they're affecting the whole stream." She says indignantly

Wind Bard seems to take a certain pleasure in talking about his experiences
“The dragon islands are different from those inhabited by ponies. When you approach you can see the great volcano off in the distance. The ground isn’t devoid of plant life, but it is very rocky and full of rubble. There are sharp reefs around the islands, dangerous to any navigator who isn’t careful.”

“No, all of this area is owned by the same paper company. They bought our lot some months ago. The one with the old priory on it. We’ve been trespassing on their property for a while now”

Alright. Again, Brie can start any time from 6AM to 10ish on morning Day 5

If you're going to sabotage the factory, just remember not to blow up the factory. Usually, the waste comes out all at once and pollutes the stream even harder.

I should offer a quick correction to something I said earlier in relation to pony languages in this game: the Rijekan language of the River Republic is the pony equivalent of Croatian, not Polish.

I would have him wake up before Silver and Spark, but not really to do anything. I can wait until they're available to continue. He won't be wanting to attempt anything at the Prancer residence until nightfall.

After about 20 minutes of a brisk jog around the abbey, he decides to get some food to eat. He enters the abbey and goes to where his nose tells him there's food.

Looks like a staggered breakfast. A number of sisters and especially foals are together in a large dining area eating breakfast. Mostly this is toast with jam, biscuits, and oatmeal, with some fruit

She does not follow any religion apart from treehugging. As Ash stated before, she is exploring religion on a spiritual journey. Muslims do not do that. They would be killed due to apostasy.

Actually, maybe I should go take this Sister home and meet up with Iron before I commit any random acts of violence...
Sister Ash sighs and looks up to the nun.
"There not much we can do right now. I'd like to speak to the manager of this establishment later though." She says, a bit sadly
"For now though, I would advise against irrigating the fields with this stream.. it seems as though they've been dumping in it.."

Brie shuffles out from under the bed, and surveys the strewn about assortment of toys, smiling with a bit of satisfaction in recalling watching the Lings play. He starts picking up toys and piling them together in a corner by type Autism!, but plainly in view so that they're not missed.

The sun shines into the room through the one window in the morning hours, while Silver, Spark, Kerr and Wesley sleep. To keep them all asleep requires a commitment to relative silence. Not that hard, if you're a bat burglar. It's not too late to make them into stew

Silver smiles at the little changeling in a pony's form. "Danke schön. Ich versuche auf jeden Fall, ein guter Gastgeber zu sein." He puts a hoof over Wesley's heart, or at least, where a heart would be on a pony. "Ich kann dir nicht sagen, dass du das eine oder das andere auswählst. Nur du kannst entscheiden. Aber ich vertraue darauf, dass Sie Ihrem Herzen folgen und wählen, was Sie persönlich für richtig halten. Wir werden Sie alle vermissen, wenn Sie sich entscheiden zu gehen, aber ich weiß, dass Ihre Mutter und Ihre Geschwister Sie auch vermissen werden, wenn Sie sich entscheiden, zu bleiben." He looks over at Kerr. "Es wäre auch eine gute Idee, Kerr zu fragen, was er denkt. Er kümmert sich sehr um Sie, und ich glaube nicht, dass er möchte, dass Sie eine Entscheidung treffen, ohne ihn zumindest zu trösten."
>>88018
"I can certainly try. What is it?"

"Uh, I don't suppose you could give me an idea of what is being said," he whispers in Silver's direction, not wanting to interrupt but tangibly curious.

I am a fan of obscure ideologies, yes. An Egoist does not see good or evil except in relation to him and so would be closer to chaotic neutral, though he would appear chaotic evil to others if his actions tend to harm them.
Seriously though, it's a good read. Something like proto-objectivism.

I see the moral alignment compas as a combination of two axis.
Lawfulness means respecting/following rules and traditions. Chaos means doing the opposite, breaking down or defying laws and traditions, but may also entail the liberation of oneself or others.
Goodness is doing what's morally right; upholding righteousness and sanctity for the sake of objective virtue. Evil is embracing wickedness and depravity; being willing to commit unspeakable acts for your own selfish ambitions.

Well, it's not always to tell if creature or group of creatures is good or evil; you can tell by their actions.
If you have skill ranks in certain schools of knowledge, you can take 10 to know the alignments of certain monsters/creatures. That generally tells how easy they are to negotiate with.

From what I read from Silver's conversation, Wesley was accepting to enact sexual favours for Silver while Kerr, the proud bugboi that he is, rejects this notion. Silver reassures both of them that he will not sex them or other evil-aligned things. Wesley seems dejected by this since he likes Silver more than her hive or the other ponies in Tall Tales. Kerr just wants to go back to being a fighter for the hive or something, not sure if it's correct. What I do know is that stubborn hug attacks are super effective to Kerr while Wesley is basically selling his body to Silver, partially because he likes him.
That's what I gathered from majestic (((Google))) translate.

If I'm not mistaken, it's because:
a- The border between New Mareland and Changeling Lands is basically that warzone between North and South Korea, so they should ask the government for deportation.
b- Some of the PCs are a bit reluctant, as well as Wesley and Kerr, to let them be deported to their place willy nilly without a guarantee on the foals' safety, since it could be bad press on the New Mareland people and something to justify bad acts against ponies, leading to possible cover up. Maybe even disposing of the foals if the GM feels like putting some drama.

The Changelings are energy-draining, predatory parasites. Chrysalis never before expressed any reasoning for why she wanted to attack ponies other than "I'm greedy, and they have what we eat"; they just all followed her with impunity.

Yeah.
It's only good if you have high Charisma though, unless you have levels in Marshall, Outlaw, or Dread Pirate. Even so, you take penalties for leading your followers into harm's way.
It can be good for some types of characters, especially Clerics, Bards, Paladins, and Evangelists.
Having followers can help with clearing dungeons though, since you don't have to hire henchmen to carry stuff out, and instead just have to make sure your followers are paid and equipt.

Nah, ideologies mostly govern how people live within a society. They can vary by circumstance.
Morals are objective. Even gods sit somewhere on the law/chaos axis. It's not difficult to determine a creature's alignment in d&d either, unless they intentionally try to conceal it.

Look, if you want to learn more about the world, the proper way to find out is to talk to NPCs or read articles within the world. That way, the world unfolds naturally as you explore more of it and get to know it better, rather than everything being handed to you like an encyclopedia article. Second, see point number one becuase that is important. If you are hellbent insistent on playing a character who thinks that willful ignorance of the politics that form the motives and lurking fears of the people around her is the best way of being neutral to these same political machinations, then you probably deserve to remain as ignorant as your character.
But since you are insistent on being spoon-fed an encyclopedia entry rather than just asking an NPC, then fine, here is an encyclopedia entry:
Changelings tend towards hierarchy and collectivism. They are NOT a literal hivemind. This should be obvious from the show. In "The Times They are a Changeling," they met a drone who, well, didn't exactly like traditional Changeling living. And what happened in that episode is cannon in the mod and this story, being set after it. Then in "To Where and Back Again," we see the entire Changeling Hive turn against Chrysalis. Like Ronald Reagan's question to the American People in his 1980 televised debate against Jimmy Carter, Thorax asked the drones of the Changeling Hive "are you better off than you were four years ago?" To which they, like the American People, responded by overthrowing the leader that had lead them to poverty and want. So obviously, in the show the old-style Changelings have the option of disobeying Chrysalis. It's true that not everything about that episode is being followed here, but there is no reason at all that we have to abandon that bit of the show's lore. I see no reason to say "No, the show is wrong, Changelings can never ever under any circumstances at all disobey Chrysalis." Like what would be the point of that?
Compare Changelings to the culture of Germany circa the second empire. If you read the German philosophers of the preceding period: Fichte, Hegel, Feuerbach... You'll see that German political and social philosophy is overwhelmingly colletivistic. Add in Kant, and you see a strong preference for order and obedience in the German nations, a preference that was nearly infamous in other nations. And yet, at the very end of October in 1918, the German Navy mutinied, and then a larger socialist-led revolt overthrew the Kaiser, and forced him to flee the country. The proud, obedient German people (some of them) overthrew their own Kaiser. And I can pretty much promise you that it never would have happened if the nation hadn't been starving to death over the past 4 years, hadn't been fighting stalement for years, hadn't decisively lost the war and 1 million soldiers in the six months before, and all of its allies hadn't capitulated. The Germans did something sort of similar after the even more crushing defeat in WW2 many years later. So yes, even a culture centered on Nationalism and Obedience can be persuaded to overthrow their king, when the answer to the old question "Are you better off than you were 4 years ago?" is a resounding "hell no."
Further, and listen to this as well, its not necessarily a matter of individuals or Changelings as a race, so much as clans within the nation. If we go by the mod, then the Changeling Hives are not a single hive, but well, a number of different ones that used to fight each other. Chrysalis united them. Think of them like Scotland, which consisted of a number of different clans which often commanded more loyalty than "Scotland" as a nation. Or, again, look to Germany around the time of the second empire. Germany had been a very large number of independent states until one particularly aggressive nation conquered, annexed, or forced into coalition all the rest. After this, it wasn't perfect harmony, but there were occasional disagreements between the people of the different states. British Soldiers in the trenches of WW1 tell about how German regiments from Saxony and Bavaria tended to be fairly docile compared to the very aggressive Prussians. And maybe the same would be true of Chrysalis's Changeling Empire, some hives being like Bavarians or Saxons. While these hives would be more loyal than not, neither will they follow Chrysalis to ruin, starvation and death.
Justifying a war is not just about preventing revolt from fighting. It's about persuading the members to give it their all in running through artillery barrages, or in committing to make 10 shells before lunch rather than only 6 shells. It's also about getting the populace to accept the terms of the peace rather than thinking it too harsh or too light, when it comes. Remember that what Chrysalis is doing in this scenario is different from what she does in the comics. She is not simply raiding a country for its love. She is colonizing it. That makes peace as difficult as war.
And finally - please for the love of God don't dismiss this off hand - justifications for war are not just for their own country's citizens. They are for the citizens and leaders of other nations. Chrysalis has to justify to uneasy and untrusting outsiders where she will invade, and where she will stop. Saying "I am going into East Equestria because the area is so lawless as to not even be able to stop its own citizens from kidnapping and raping ours" doesn't necessarily persuade other countries that Chrysalis has a right, but it just might make them less confident in New Mareland's claim, and thus less willing to help New Mareland - all the same for Chrysalis as it is a victory for her. Even a bad argument for why an invasion takes place where you already agreed to give up territory is an argument. It gives opponent's of the Hegemony's enemies a weapon to use against them.
And so on and so forth. If none of this is persuasive, I don't care. Deal with it in character and stop spamming with meta talk
Look, if you want to learn more about the world, the proper way to find out is to talk to NPCs or read articles within the world. That way, the world unfolds naturally as you explore more of it and get to know it better, rather than everything being handed to you like an encyclopedia article. Second, see point number one becuase that is important. If you are hellbent insistent on playing a character who thinks that willful ignorance of the politics that form the motives and lurking fears of the people around her is the best way of being neutral to these same political machinations, then you probably deserve to remain as ignorant as your character.
But since you are insistent on being spoon-fed an encyclopedia entry rather than just asking an NPC, then fine, here is an encyclopedia entry:
Changelings tend towards hierarchy and collectivism. They are NOT a literal hivemind. This should be obvious from the show. In "The Times They are a Changeling," they met a drone who, well, didn't exactly like traditional Changeling living. And what happened in that episode is cannon in the mod and this story, being set after it. Then in "To Where and Back Again," we see the entire Changeling Hive turn against Chrysalis. Like Ronald Reagan's question to the American People in his 1980 televised debate against Jimmy Carter, Thorax asked the drones of the Changeling Hive "are you better off than you were four years ago?" To which they, like the American People, responded by overthrowing the leader that had lead them to poverty and want. So obviously, in the show the old-style Changelings have the option of disobeying Chrysalis. It's true that not everything about that episode is being followed here, but there is no reason at all that we have to abandon that bit of the show's lore. I see no reason to say "No, the show is wrong, Changelings can never ever under any circumstances at all disobey Chrysalis." Like what would be the point of that?
Compare Changelings to the culture of Germany circa the second empire. If you read the German philosophers of the preceding period: Fichte, Hegel, Feuerbach... You'll see that German political and social philosophy is overwhelmingly colletivistic. Add in Kant, and you see a strong preference for order and obedience in the German nations, a preference that was nearly infamous in other nations. And yet, at the very end of October in 1918, the German Navy mutinied, and then a larger socialist-led revolt overthrew the Kaiser, and forced him to flee the country. The proud, obedient German people (some of them) overthrew their own Kaiser. And I can pretty much promise you that it never would have happened if the nation hadn't been starving to death over the past 4 years, hadn't been fighting stalement for years, hadn't decisively lost the war and 1 million soldiers in the six months before, and all of its allies hadn't capitulated. The Germans did something sort of similar after the even more crushing defeat in WW2 many years later.

As for apparent ignorance, I don't have any relevant knowledge rank as a class skill, so I'm playing her as an uninformed foreigner.

Iron is abashed, looking away at her swishy tail.
When he's in the room, he starts equipping his armor pieces and shield on his armored off-hoof while keeping his other hoof unarmored.
It should take as long as the scene with Ash and that filly I don't remember the name.

Fun fact I found out while playing Equestria At War last night: The leader of the Barrad Magocracy south of the Kingdom of Wittenburg in Eastern Griffonia is a crazed unicorn named Silver Star who, along with his four compatriots, uses the Magocracy and the unfortunate ponies inside it for pointless and dangerous magic experiments that have absolutely ruined the climate of the country.

The funnier part of that is there's a Druidic country bordering both the Kingdom of Wittenburg and the Barrad Magocracy that's exactly the kind of place I would imagine Ash coming from.

Kerr is not as pleasant to hug as Wesley. For one, the chitinous hide, while fairly smooth and in some objective way not really that strange feeling of a surface, does not at all feel like the hide of a pony, being neither furry nor soft and forgiving. Rather, it is hard and smooth, although the elytron is softer than it looks. Second, while Wesley felt as if he had been left out in the cold, Kerr feels almost icy. And there is something more, a sort of feeling of static electricity around Kerr. At least, that's the closest way to describe the sensation.
But while Silver's experience in hugging the proud insect-pony may not be so pleasant, it does seem to produce an effect. Kerr lets out a strange buzzing sound from his partly opened mouth that sounds kind of sad. It some way he seems contented by the contact, and he lets his hind wings slip out slightly from under his elytra

The hugging isn't for Silver's sake, so he doesn't mind how it feels at all. All he cares about is trying to comfort Kerr in his time of need. He keeps the hug firm, and tries to act like he's a warm, comforting blanket to the 'ling. He pats Kerr on the top of the head softly.

"You too," Brie says, not really understanding, but perceiving that it wasn't uncomplementary. He gently lowers down to a laying position, still draping Wesley with his wings and closes his eyes to rest, if not to sleep (who knows if he will be able to sleep, but he will need his energy regardless).

That probably won't be enough if you want to last for 16 to 24 hours. I suggest eating a lot of carbs. They should help you out. Fruits and wheat-based products are good options to snack on. Eat some rice or spaghetti if you control what you can lunch and dinner. Put spicy stuff just to put your mind on edge.

This time it was a survival horror game. The game in the dream didn't start out that way. First it was an adventure game, then there was a brief interim when it was a platformer during a dream sequence, then all of a sudden I'm looking at a little preview snippet of the next chapter in the game and it's you trying to survive against zombies or something like zombies using nothing but a fireaxe, or a pickaxe, or something of that nature. So I start the chapter, and it turns out I'm at an abandoned mine to investigate what happened to all of the miners who suddenly disappeared without a trace. It's a fairly spooky descent, there's no dangers yet but it's very atmospherically dark and there's a look of creepy ambience and it's clear they're building up for something. Then I got to the place in every survival horror game where you start to see what went wrong without actually seeing what went wrong. There was mining equipment, pickaxes, shovels, mining hats, all of it abandoned with no trace of where the miners when except for some boot prints where the miners were trying to run to the mine's exit, and tracks made by something dragging bodies further into the mine. A bit further into the mine, and I finally saw part of what went wrong.
From a hole in the walls of the mine, there was a large, fleshy, pulsating tentacle, snaking out from the hole to a nearby corpse of a miner. The mass of flesh looked like what you would expect it to look like: exposed flesh, sinew, arteries, the works. It was in the process of absorbing the corpse into its mass, and the entire torso of the miner was engulfed by the now-bulbous end of the flesh tentacle. It was disgusting watching the thing pulse outward, and it made an unnatural sound as it did like someone wading through thick mud. Now, I don't like horror games. Outside of the few times where my mind decides that I'm an unshakable juggernaut who isn't afraid of anything, horror games make me freak right the fuck out, so when I saw it, I paused the game, put my head in my hands, and just kept telling myself over and over again "Fuck fuck fuck! I don't want to do this! Why is it a horror game!? Why!?" Then, after I had calmed myself down a little, when I picked up the controller to start the game again, I woke up.

I'm glad I didn't actually get to, because despite not getting to that point, I just know there was going to be a part of the mine where the fleshy substance was covering the entirety of the walls, floor, and ceiling, and THAT would have been creepy.

The sister takes Dark Star to another building, an adjacent one looking not unlike the other two, and leads him down a front door into a white hallway. Ponies, or foals rather, exit out of a doorway. At the end of this stream of foals are the white earth pony and the green unicorn. They walk a bit more slowly, separate from the others, with the white earth pony just ahead of the green unicorn. It is like the weeks they were captive removed them from the others. Made them different. It hasn't quite bonded them either, as the two do not walk side by side or talk to each other. Indeed, they talk to no one. But it has made them closer to each other than they are to the others, literally.

I don't think so. Judging from pic related, kirins just have a layer of scales on their back. Maybe you can bend the rules a little bit and make your scales form the shape of a tree through color shading, the darker scales making the shape of a tree while the cleaner scales cover any gaps on the kirin's back.

Interesting. They don't follow ponies' way of distinguishing stallions from mares by their snout. So if I base myself on your assertions, there's maybe 2 male kirins from the lot in the pic judging by either horn pattern or lack of eyelashes. Stallions are still in low amount even in kirin societies.
Interesting. They don't follow ponies' way of distinguishing stallions from mares by their snout.

Pretty sure everyone else did. GM did not react to your appearance. Star got knocked out by himself in an attempt to rearrange his sleeping schedule. Spark, I think, does not want to butt in conversations out of politeness. Brie is in a similar position to you and the other two players, me and Ash's, were not at your location.

Hitting mares is a generally uncool thing to do.
Although, in an Equestrian setting you can expect more than half of the toughest opponents to be mares.

So if I recall correctly, Silver told Kerr that he was not going to have sex with him, a statement that I think sounded less weird in context. Then Kerr responded with “Well I’m going to suck the love right out of you anyways,” and Silver responder eith “listen here you little shit. If I have to make ONE more saving throw, so help me Celestia, I will cut your wings off with hedge trimmers and rub sand in the bleeding stumps.” To which Kerr responded with “if you want to watch me beg as I slowly waste away from starvation, then you will be sorely disappointed.” And then Silver said “does some creature need a hug?” And Kerr was like “maybe...” and then Silver hugged the bug and platonically cuddled him for a while

Assuming that Silver has not been recalled to the room after his shower because all hell has broken loose, he can make it to the headquarters.
The building is located in near the center of town, to the west, and in a relatively affluent commercial area. The building is the Grand Baltimare Hotel, one block south of Main Street, on Kingsely, Five floors in total with beige stone exterior and small balconies on some windows. He can tell that it was once a grand civilian building with ornate architecture and an exoensive interior, confiscated and repurposed for the political and security needs of the new overlords. The main entrance is accessed through a short set of steps to the main lobby
Outside, to either side, are guards in brown outfits. Griffins, both of them.

There is more than one, but one s only one is marked to the administration of “counter-subversion.” It’s a unicorn with a dark blue coat, and a lighter blue mane. But he does not look to be in the best of all conditions. He has an eyepatch over his right eye. He wears a hat like the old Dominion hats, but his horn, which sticks through, is called inn gold. Almost like a golden crowned tooth. His front right leg is almost completely gone, replaced with a steel prosthetic. His right leg below the thigh is also prosthetic, and his right flank seems to be scar and naked pink. His cutie mark, at least in his right side, is gone, seared off. He wears a somewhat fancy black uniform.
>>88750
He starts to hold out his hooves. The a marble flies by. Then another marble flies and gits his side. He raises up a good to cover himself and turns towards the incoming projectiles. Then one hits him fairly squarely around the head, and he reacts with a “HISS!”

Last episode, things are getting wild at the abbey, as suddenly Waterfront mare gang members storm the abbey, shooting instant-growth trees that threaten to collapse the abbey!
As Iron is petrified of hitting mares while Ash has her worries of cutting the trees down later, will they succumb to their traditions and let the abbey fall or rise up and show these mares what for?
That and more next time, on Void's Adventures!

“That often depends on what they were doing before they were caught. If they were spying, or could have been spying, they will never go home. Depending on how they were feeding themselves, the police may not let them over smoothly. But if they are being sent back, Immigration takes them. They are generally detained until they can be sent back through train, airship, or ship. They are never sent through commercial carriers, for obvious reasons. Always with an armed escort. They are usually received by Hegemony officials at a border town, like Hoofington or Ponyville.

"Oh, I imagine there are plenty of Harmonists out there, with Equestria being home of Harmony and all. I know on my way back home after end of war, I came across couple surviving army groups in Western Equestria who had gone into hiding rather than get killed, captured, or forced to surrender. They're probably long gone from where I met them, though, if they managed to survive."
He moves onto her flanks, his hooves making faster circles and pressing at a similar force to how he did so at her croup. "It seems as though there is significant Communist influence here in Baltimare. More so than I would have expected."

“Western Equestria? Oh I would imagine they’ve been completely ravaged by now. The communists are worse here than they are in most places in East Equestria by far.”
I just realized that I have repeatedly inaccurately refered the Changeling-occupied Equestria as “East Equestria,” when really, it’s West Equestria

He keeps the massage going, seeing her reaction. "I wonder how much influence Stalliongrad has in this region, and how many resources they are funneling to Communists here. I know that chairpony they elected some years ago is not nearly as aggressive and expansionist as other options they had, but it would seem like them to try to force revolution here like they did when they first started in Severyana."

I wouldn’t count on them being an effective fighting force against the hegemony. Facing down a million well armed and well organized enemy’s troops is one thing. Facing down a million hostile who can shape shift and mimic voices is another thing entirely. All it takes is accepting bread from the wrong ‘friendly civilian.’ Or having sex with the wrong alleged mare when stopping into town. Or listening to the cries of help from the wrong lost filly. I don’t think they could hold out for very long. Not in numbers, anyways. As for Stalliongrad.. uck! Subversion is their modus opperindi. More so even than the Hegemony. They’ve been a nightmare overseas in the past. But things have changed somewhat with their new neighbor in the West”

"I imagine they are mustering every able-bodied pony they can into joining up with their 'Ponies' Army' to act as deterring force on border. I also imagine they are investing heavily into anti-tank rifles and their own armored division, even if one-on-one no Stalliongrad design can survive against Changeling Panzer. Well, perhaps except for most expensive and heavy of their designs, but this is Stalliongrad we are talking about. They invest in numbers and cost-effectiveness, not quality.
"For subversion here, in Baltimare? They are likely starved of support internationally, something that was core to their ideals in Severyana when they took over. 'Worldwide workers' revolution'. Having even small part of Equestria be on their side would be major boon for them, both for resources and for any planned assaults and counter-assaults against Hegemony, and likely also Black Hooves occupiers. And from what little I have heard, all of their potential allies in Griffonia have either been absorbed into Empire, conquered by New Mareland, are too far away, or are too preoccupied with their own problems to be of any help."
An evil grin forms on his face as he gets an idea. He surrounds her dock with a telekinetic field, and uses it to stroke and massage the little nub of flesh that connects her tail to the rest of her body.

The top of Blue Skies' dock is covered in much the same azure white fur as the rest of her coat, albeit it is a bit shorter than elsewhere. The underside is naked skin. It is a light grey coloration, and feels particularly soft and smooth. She must put effort into her skin as surely as her coat and feathers. She allows her tail to rise moderately for him. The tail itself is behind her is straight, probably until it makes contact with Silver's legs. It is of moderate length, almost tomboyish but still more feminine than not. Except for allowing her tail to rise Blu Skies does not react.
Blue Skies, for her part seems deep in contemplation about how much to reveal (about the political situation) to Silver
"They punch well above their weight militarily. It's a good thing that they are scared now by a different threat, otherwise, they would be a major problem"

They're damn close to do so.
Well, if Star is not about to come back, then it's acceptale. Besides, GM is loving Silver's story ideas and potential, so I wouldn't put it against him to reward him.
Not with explicit sex, but eh, what can you do.

Silver's a sixty-something+ year old widower.
The tail-lifting seems kind of like a greenlight.. Especially with the vivid descriptions of her body, coat, skin and dock (that part might just be GM admiring his own OC though).
Oh well, it's not my place to judge other characters' interactions. It could be an interesting development. Let's watch.

On a completely unrelated note, I think my character should probably be taking care of animals a lot more.
I've been considering how Fluttershy seems to feed and heal pretty much every creature in the forest, and I think I should probably follow her example to be a proper Druid. It a question if animals in Equestria are even capable of taking care of themselves, since it seemed as though they didn't even know when to wake up from hibernation, if Fluttershy didn't wake them.
>tfw no Flutterdruid to teach me about taking care of animals
It was actually supposed to be Sister Ash's primary motivation in traveling Equestria to study ponies as the engine of their ecosystem, and caretakers of nature. The poverty services were meant to be her response to working in an urban environment (since she considers poverty to be one of the horrors of the modern world); since she considers ponies to be natural creatures.

He drops the field around her dock, a little surprised by her lack of reaction, and finding that her dock is not as ticklish as he would have expect. He's not disappointed, however. He moves his hooves up to massage the sides of her barrel.
"When Communists took over and made Stalliongrad independent, not all of Severyana joined them. Most southern reaches remained in Equestrian control, thanks to higher amount of Harmonist support in region than what Communists could manage. And now that territory is in your control."

Well, we're not going to be in an urban setting forever, and there's still a forest behind the abbey. I just want to explore my character's niche.
Besides, as a Druid, making sure the forest/animals/wilderness is taken care of is really her whole job; like, if it's supposed to be as mandatory as a Paladin's code. If she failed to serve her role to protect nature too many times, or showed and lack of reverence to the natural world, she'd lose the favor of the earth, and thus all of her class features.

If they had struck during the war the Hegemony would have stalled, and the State would have been pushed back into the sea.”

You should probably tell a nun then. After all, Iron's still pretending to be a nefarious boop statue, so it's a bit paralyzed by his role.

"What Communists have claimed, however, is no match for what self-proclaimed Tsar Peter IV claimed was extent of Severyanan territory. I remember back when I was teenager and he was young and just starting out in politics, I read about then-infamous debate he and his Tsarist faction had against Loyalist faction that had been spread throughout all of Severyana. They claimed not only what Communists have claims on today, but also Grivvish Isles, Village-Up-North, and all of Nova Griffonia and Griffon Frontier, all way up to border with Pingland. Essentially, he claimed all territory ancient Severyanan tribe had control over back in times of Three Tribes."

Today, in Stable Mare News!
Openia has been defeated by the sickening insects that call themselves the changelings! Those disgusting monsters tore through the poor deer's defenses with their advanced weaponry and underhanded tactics befitting of parasites.
The Equestrians did nothing about this situation, further showing the true, hypocritical colors of those 'harmonists' which want to sacrifice everyone else for the sake of 'world peace'. First it was us New Marelanders, now it's the deer who live right next door. This is proof that they do not care about anything more than themselves.
This is a call to action! Vote the Duke on the upcoming elections! We must choose the pony who'll vouch for our safety instead of some cake-eating, backstabbing princesses that don't care about us! New Marelanders, choose the pony who will protect you against the pesky birds and the parasites around us! Choose the pony who will help restore this country's former glory! Vote the Duke!

Interesting info. I guess GM willfully deleted it to remedy the lack of title. Hopefully this will give Star enough time to come back and gain his plot relevance again.
Maybe I could whip out my bard as compensation of Star's loss, if the GM allows to multiroleplay.
I'll be fair with it. She's a friendly bug that goes along with everyone, because she knows that's the best way to obtain love.

Also, if Changelings are at all similar to Changelings in Eberron, their Disguise ability shouldn't stack with the Disguise self spell.

Heroism doesn't stack with Inspire Courage, since they're both Morale bonuses. I wouldn't suggest it, unless you just really want to buff without playing.
Bard is the Buffer class: Knowing the difference between a competence/morale/luck/enhancement/circumstance/luck/flanking/dodge bonus is the first step to guiding your allies to success.

Also note that Bards get the most powerful skill in the game: Use Magick Device. They're also encouraged to have Int and Charisma too, so they're the best core UMD class.
PC's get roughly 60% of their power and versitality from the items they have on them, and a Bard of sufficient level can use any item he wants.

>>89058
Yeah, you want to increase UMD. It's your best skill after Perform, Diplomacy, and Bluff.
Always max those out as a Bard.
Note that Bards are as Int based as they are Charging based. You'll want to max out Int as your highest stat at the very beginning.
Animate rope isn't that great, tbh. Sleep won't be helpful at this level either.
Silent Image is useful at every level though.
You don't need Mage Hand, since you have telekinesis. Take Prestidigitation instead.
Glitterdust is okay.
There's a great spell called Improvization in the Spell Compendium, which will be useful at every level.
https://dndtools.net/spells/spell-compendium--86/improvisation--3531/
The luck bonus to a skill check is great for any Bard.
Also, Pyrotechnics: You get a choice between two different kinds of debuffs. Not to be underestimated.
I'd suggest Alter Self, but you already have disguise abilities and flight, so no need for that.

You don't need Mage Hand, since you have telekinesis. Take Prestidigitation instead.
Glitterdust is okay.
There's a great spell called Improvization in the Spell Compendium, which will be useful at every level.

The luck bonus to a skill check is great for any Bard.
Also, Pyrotechnics: You get a choice between two different kinds of debuffs. Not to be underestimated.
I'd suggest Alter Self, but you already have disguise abilities and flight, so no need for that.

>You'll want to max out int
Really? How come? Is it really that useful? Or is it for the extra skill points?
>2 level 1 spells are meh
Is alarm a good replacement for any of these two?
>No mention of detect thoughts
Should I place glitterdust as better than detect thoughts or no?
>>89061
Changelings are pretty versatile.

The role of a Bard is the skillmonkey and "jack of all trades". You want to have lot of Int at the beginning, so you have a lot of skills and are able to max out several different skills.
Alarm isn't that great, unless you expect the DM to try to kill the party in their sleep. Even in that case, it's a Ranger spell too, and it's typpically the Ranger's niche to keep the party from being killed in the Wilderness.

How about rune?
Also, should I sacrifice the two extra points in dex I have that gives my bard an initiative mod of +7 with improved initiative, has +6 chance to hit with all missles and has +3 AC for its dex?

Both Detect thoughts and glitterdust can be decent.
Wis is your dump stat, which is kind of sad, but ranking up Sense Motive won't be bad either, if you really want to fill the niche of the negotiator.

>Improved Initiative
I wouldn't go for that, tbh.
Take Melodic Casting: it allows you to sub Perform for Concentration, and let's you cast spells while you're performing. Pretty much indespensible for a good Bard.

I was thinking strength is the dump stat since I was planning to go all missle based for this character. Wis is just one point higher than strength and three points behind dex

Do Bards even get Erase?
It's not important, unless you find the need to remove arcane marks (which you can't cast) to be a necessity.
Read Magick would be a better choice. Let's you read different languages, and activate cryptic scrolls.

Oh, I was planning a bard marksman, with a bolt-action rifle. So I should pass the wis stat to str and add that extra point at level 4 to it to use an MP40 or whatever other SMG, right?
>>89071
Yep, as a first-class spell.
Read magic is level zero.
How about Confusion or Hypnosis?
I'll exchange it for Mending

Well, yeah, but since you and I can't interact with the world for the time being, I think it's a passable time to flesh out a bard character for maximum usefulness in and out of combat when Iron eventually kicks the bucket.

Tbh, Bard seems like the best possible class for a Skittlebug, since they thrive off of attention and are always so nonchalant.

Bards are rather cool.

Rogue sounds like it'd be the favored class of Changelings.
It is in Eberron, and their changlings have similar abilities (a transfiguration ability that functions like disguise self).
Character interactions are the main point of the game. That's what role-playing is all about.

Bards are a patrician tier class. They're admittingly really not the best at anything at all, but they've got everything a creative jackass needs to have fun.
Also, Glibness is the best spell in the game. A mid-level Bard could take over the world by lying to anyone and everyone.

Spoiler, because geek-faggotry. (I've played a Bard before, so I know how good they are at causing mischief).
The stupidest, silliest, most unbelievable lie in the world suffers a -20 penalty to its bluff check. A lie that is self-destructive or hard to believe is -10. A simply bad lie is -5.
A Bard with a +15 Bluff modifier, taking 10 on a bluff check through Glibness would have a total of 55; marked down to 35 if he were trying to convince someone that he were Jesus Christ. It would be unbeatable by most characters of his level, and a lvl 20 ultra-paranoid NPC who took more than 5 ranks in Sense Motive for some reason would still need to roll decently to beat his opposed bluff. It even beats Discern Lies and Zone of Truth.
Add on Improvization and Voice Of The Dragon, and the Bard can start and end wars just by speaking.

Bards can learn Mass Suggestion: you can make your potential enemies do the Cha Cha Slide for 16 hours, if you're at that level.

Now that I think about it, should I go for two performance skills? I'd like Acting as the performance but I think that some spells would require a musical instrument.

So acting is a good choice or should I go for the safer singing route?
Both should align with the changeling's backstory.

Either works, but acting sounds like it'd work for a Skittlebug.
Acting includes poetics and drama, so there's still an auditory component.

Oh. Idk why I assumed that. Maybe I just subconsciously thought that a normal bug wouldn't spend it's time playing music.
To be completely honest, I don't think the Skittlebug color designs are really that irredeemably bad. It's just the context that bothered me in the show.

Where are you getting this idea that I would let you play a Changeling character? Changelings occupy a unique place within the larger story and lore, and have unique magical abilities that make them hard to balance with the other races. There is no way I am giving one to a Munchkin player

I did see you challenge Silver's player to feed on love some threads ago if he ever lost Silver. I just jumped into the idea since you offered it to another player.
I can always go for Pegasus, as she was meant to be previously. Maybe she'll need disguise self and other abilities changed, but it should still be fun.

Did you even read your own posts in >>89080 >>89057 and >>89078? You obviously know how to abuse the bard class in a way that breaks the game, offends the story, and is a pain in the ass to everyone else playing

A "Muchkin" refers to a player who cares exclusively about mechanical power and doesn't try to roleplay or creatively play through character interactions.
Bards really aren't that good in combat at all, but their abilities let them cook up some fun jackass shenanigans, which is really all they're
really good at.

I guess if you really optimize a Bard hard enough, you could get a moderately powerful spellcaster, through the Sublime Chord class, but you may as well be a Sorcerer if that's what you wanted.
The Bard's real strength is being able to open up new options for the party, buff allies, and manipulate NPCs through use of smooth words. It's a class that great for hardcore, inventive roleplay, because it's got a little bit of everything, and excells in the social skills.
Of course, if you don't play in good faith, it doesn't matter what class you're playing. A Bard could derail entire campaigns by seducing every boss, but that wouldn't be very fun for the party.

"Munchkin" is a blanket term for player behaviors including loot hording, game-breaking power gaming, rules lawyering, cheating, psychopathic non-roleplaying, murderhoboing, metagaming, and trolling, which are all unfun for other players.
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Munchkin
Just in your own posts tonight you've used the terms "good at causing mischief" and "could take over the world" in reference to Bard powers. Don't give me any bullshit about "oh, we're not concerned excessively about mechanical power" when your own damned words directly contradict it.

Well, when I say "causing mischief", I don't mean being pointlessly antagonistic, as to go in the opposite direction of how the campaign is set.
Bards are good at tricking people. If you play a Chaotic Bard, you'd probably be more of a prankster, using his skills, music and spells to fool his enemies. It helps with the good selection of Illusion, enchantment, and divination spells that Bards get; since confusing the enemy can oftentimes be more effective than outright attacking them.
They're also probably one of the best in Urban settings, second only to Rogues.

You know, I like to talk about meta a lot, but it's never been my intention to break the game or derail the story in a way that wouldn't be fun.
I just feel like it's part of the fun of the game to explore your class features, so that you can better fit your niche in the party. Pointing out powers and abilities, or specializing/optimizing a character shouldn't ever mean using your abilities in an abusive way. Class abilities are fun, but they serve no purpose unless you use them in a way that helps the story develop; otherwise they're
Tbh, if you wanna call me a munchkin-player, just know that's really not my intention. In fact, I made this character with the intention of making her the opposite of a munchkin, since my last character (the greedy, misanthropic, mad-scientist of a Warforged Artificer) kind of was one, admittingly; so I wanted to make this character in a style that valued character, personality and RP over power, kill-counts and loot.
The metafaggotry is mostly supposed to be my way of me trying to be helpful to the less experienced players; since it's easy to overlook opportunities to play a better character, and Fighters especially don't have very much flexibility after they've already decided all of their feats. I can quit it if it really is that bothersome to anyone, although I'll admit that I kind of do enjoy talking about the geeky stuff...
