planning Ponyfinder: Age of Adventure (Updated) [Full]

So is this like the dead or what?

[IridscentNionios 1,420]

No its not.

[CobraCommando 37]

Well do we have a date to play?

[IridscentNionios 1,420]

You will have to ask scholar for that.

[GreyScholar 1,584]

Startup is just being slow, with so many other things to do I haven't had a chance to get together all the information yet so that we can start.

Fair enough. The start of the year is a busy time for almost everyone.

[Snowy Storm 57]

Indeed it is.

Hey Scholar,

 

I have been looking to play a Ponyfinder game and have been playing DnD/Pathfinder for years.  For the first go at it, I was hoping to translate my OC into Ponyfinder format.  If you'd like (and are still open to new players) I can send you some character info/background.  Also, mechanically, I would be playing an earth-pony Rogue (Investigator). 

 

Thanks! 

Edit:  There's also the possibility I will grab a couple levels of something else (perhaps Monk: Martial Artist or Urban Barbarian [yeeeeah, underpowered as all get but such sweet flavor]) since my OC, Jar, is much more only a decent combatant by sharp instincts, natural size/strength and ability to make use of what's at hand (hence, not a perfect sneak attack oriented rogue, but still a primary rogue).  

 

tl;dr: I will not be optimized but I will bring fun, maturity and character... :comeatus:  to the game.

Ok, here is the character for your consideration/approval:

Note: I did not know if we were using action points/hero points.  Also, Rogue is Investigator Rogue and Barbarian is Urban and Invulnerable Rager (I was trying to demonstrate the raw durability of an exceptionally tough earth pony, but if you prefer me to only include one archetype, I will ditch the rage and keep the urban).  Let me know what you think, I will send you a back story when you get back to me.

 

Thanks!

By official rules you can only double up on archetypes if they don't replace the same ability(ies).

Urban Barbarian

Features Replaced: Class Skills, Armor Proficiency, Fast Movement, Rage

Valid Archetypes: Brutal Pugilist, Elemental Kin, Hateful Rager (Half-Orc), Invulnerable Rager, Savage Barbarian, Superstitious

 

... which from the above information says it is a valid combination.

Awesome, I knew they were valid (did not overlap) but didn't know if you had objections to using more than one per class.

[GreyScholar 1,584]

Well there you go and yes I don't see a problem.

Sweet. What all chracters do we actually have committed at this point?

Ohai. I didn't expect anyone else to join. The more the merrier I suppose! I'm playing a magus, hope to see you in the group once it gets started.

Thanks, you too. What kimd of magus? Unicorn?

[Magpie 621]

Thanks, you too. What kimd of magus? Unicorn?

Yep. Mostly so I can use my scimitar and still cast spells, seeing as we don't have hands.

[The Jar 7]

Scimitar was a cool choice. Maybe we should post character back stories or just some basic info (in case some players want to keep some things secret).

We have a system for that but i'm waiting for a confirmation from Scholar... Admittedly i don't know how many are still going to play anymore.

I'm still ready to play whenever.

If we are talking about Archives of Nethys I cant see a means to create character entries.

I have my char made, just waiting for the time and day.

Solaire is ready to go. He even has a squire following him around.

[Snowy Storm 57]

Is River Note good? I know I'll have to scale him up on the sheet Trickster sent me.

[GreyScholar 1,584]

I apologize but until I get a new computer and more reliable access to the interest I am going to have to put this campaign on hold until farther notice. Please forgive me for the wait to all those currently with characters made, I will see about finding a way to start this as soon as possible.

[Strong Copper 126]

@@EquestrianScholar,

 

Don't apologize for something that you have no real say or control about.

 

Just don't forget about this little project once you get a new (or at least get the old one repaired) computer.

[GreyScholar 1,584]

Update: I have just bought the Ponyfinder Campain Setting though before using this resource I must state that the creators of this 3rd party Pathfinder campaign had to make their own plane and not us any copyrighted terms or names.

 

My question is, should I use the book as is or are there those here willing to help me convert everything to be in line with MLP:FiM proper?

 

Examples: Gem Ponies instead of Crystal Ponies, Mark of Destiny instead of Cutiemark, Sun Queen instead of Princess Celestia, Moon Princess instead of Princess Luna, Doppelgangers instead of Changelings, exc.

 

Myself, I would rather convert fluff and terms but if players want I can use the Ponyfinder Campaign Setting as is.
