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.
Ash and Iron seem to want to head out from the abbey. Dark Star was having a conversation with the rescued foals after doing community service. Silver is having a surprisingly friendly conversation with Blue Skies about politics. Spark is babysitting and Brie is supposed to be doing the same. Onyx is sleeping.

>>90343I suppose that's what we should do.
Just going to hold up on that until he becomes dismissive of Iron's arguments, though. I would like not to use rolls unless we prepare for a fight. >>90343Welp, I'll go to bed for today. Have a good night, Ash's player.
Let us pray that the mademare actually feels a little threatened by any colt betrayal. >>90345I outta sleep too.
Goodnight, Iron's player.
>>90318I hate it when posts are deleted.
>>90328What's a mademare? I've honestly thought it's just a self-made mare in business, or a mare that makes stuff.
>>90347It was a stupid joke. If there is going to be some sort of statement about a character that paints that character in a negative light, I’d rather it be delivered in character. Always better to hear it from the horse’s mouth
>>90347Eh. It depends on what is being deleted. In this case, it's no biggie.
>What's a mademare?Honestly don't know. I suppose it's wordplay for mademan, which seems to be mafia slang for fully initiated mafia members.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_man >>90351It'd make sense that mare would sub for man in some sayings, since Equestria has a mildly matriarchal social structure.
Welcome, fillies and gentlecolts, to another episode of Void Adventures!
In this episode, we explore a bitter unicorn actor whose life was ruined by the changeling invasion, having been forced to flee his theater in order to escape the changeling's grasp and become a slave to them.
What will a composed stallion do when his life is stolen from him? Does he just sit there and take it or seek retribution for his loss? We shall see.
>>90354I still have no idea what these are supposed to be.
>>90356Random character ideas.
This stallion would be a neutral evil bard who will stop at nothing to obtain power and make the changelings submit for what they did aka a probable Blach Hooves recruit up to a general if enough time passes and he's successful in his missions.
>>90359Neutral Evil Bard is an interesting Concept.
Maybe the music could be heavy metal rock. Dirge Singer is also a good PrC for edgy bards.
>>90360He could be a lawlful psion telepath too. I wanted him to be a cold, ruthless bastard that wanted everyone to follow his path or die. He was supposed to be a mare, but that brings the eventual problem of lineage and unavailability.
>>90361>TelepathFor that, you wanna be a Thrallherd PrC. Great at enslaving people, and the bonus followers are good fodder for combat.
For a non-psionic build, Mindbender is basically the same thing.
>>90362Mindbender/Thrallherd is Starlight Glimmer tier though. It's not OP, but it's creepy.
>>90363>>90362He's supposed to be a pyschopath, so that's not such a bad thing. Not the 'hahaha I'm cRaZy' kind, but the super ultra mega logical kind. It would show how he doesn't care about ethics or morals.
Still, it may be too much. I have to keep the vanilla status.
>>90364Well, Thrallherd is a vanilla psionic PrC.
Mindbender was meant to be a replacement for Thrallherd as a non-psionic, arcane version.
>>90365I can't find it. Is it a feat?
>>90366No. It's a class.
Thrallherd is a raw prestige class. One of the psionic ones, that's actually decent.
>>90367It's a nice class, that's for sure. It would bypass the inability to go for the leadership feat I wanted.
>>90368It's just like leadership, but inspread of a cohort you get a 'thrall' and instead of followers you get 'believers'.
Unlike with leadership, you don't take penalties for leading them to their dooms. Believers are canon fodder, slaves to your every whim.
Great for Enchanters. Mindbender can even work as a Bard PrC.
>>90360Better to go with post-punk, such as Molchat Doma, Justice or The Soft Moon.
It's all anachronistic music anyway >>90369I don't really understand how it works. You have to have like +10 in charisma or something to have a thrall with believers?
>>90371No. You get the believers just like you do followers with the leadership feat. I don't remember the details of the class, but +10 charisma is insane demigod tier.
Maybe it just requires you to have a minimum of 10 charisma. An enchanter or Telepath should always have a bit of chaRosman anyway, since some spells require opposed charisma checks.
>>90372>chaRosmanThank you, autocorrect...
>>90373Better than lawlful.
>>90372What's the leadership score that the thrallherd has? I think it's charisma based.
>>90375If I read this correctly, I'd have a level 7 thrall and 5 believers.
>>90376It depends on your level.
Mindbender works the same way though. It's better for most campaigns, since psionic an be a headache (punlike intended).
But ur PC still alive, so don't go making too many more characters.
>>90380**Enchanters are pretty fun; especially in more modern settings, where you can have your slaves operate powerful, non-magical equiptment.**
Nothin' like coughing and hacking up mouthfuls of phlegm to get you in the mood for a Pony WWII DnD session.
>>90384Oof.
Hope you get better soon.
Again. >>90385Ah, it's just the end stage of the bug I already had, with my body expelling all of the mucus that had accumulated over the course of the past couple days. This time tomorrow, I'll be right as rain.
>>90388Maybe he's visiting the world he's created.
Maybe he's conquering the bugs and making them submit to his will and establishing a fascist Equestria under his rule Manos-style.
Maybe his lawyer gig is making him decent dosh.
