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

What errand? I know players like to be suber duvet sekret with their intent, but if this campaign is going to run continuously, be actually three delegate campaign for different groups of players, and I have to improvise half of it, then I need to know what I am supposed to be making up before I am asked to generate a scene

"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."

Go to tavern, fetch Spark and go to the mademare OR just go to the mademares.
Of course, I will not take Spark away from the smol bugs until Silver comes back to his home or any other pony can take care of them.

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!

So, I'm guessing there was some post number manipulation for the creation of the new bread at >>89000 because I accidentally took the millennial trips without realizing it. It's weird seeing (You) next to the name field when I'm not the GM.
I'll take a smol nap for now. I'll be back in either old or new thread in about 1 or 2 hours.
>>89025
Bummer. I hope GM's alright and did not abuse any possible mod powers he has.
Or was it Brie the post manipulator? Who knows?

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.

I wonder who's here at the moment, apart from you and GM. Maybe we could unite with Spark still.
Unless the GM needs some time to plan out the mademare encounters.

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.

Forgot pic.
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.

Really? How come? Is it really that useful? Or is it for the extra skill points?

Should I place glitterdust as better than detect thoughts or no?

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.

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.

Either works, but acting sounds like it'd work for a Skittlebug.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...
