I want to play a gnome paladin with Derpy Hooves as a mount-cohort now....


Derpy as an anti-paladin pony of doom

Grand Lodge

My wife now wants to play this. XD


Since my next session is Sunday 3rd April, I guess I beast hope that my wife's character survives but the reincarnation-obsessed Cloistered Cleric dies, or she's in a spot of trouble/interest. We're watching Haunted Castle on i-home IMAX ...

Scarab Sages

I really want to play this. & where is the info for Cutie Marks? haha

Come on Paizo, I know it's an April Fools joke, but this is adorable. Maybe draw up the actual creatures for a mystical setting or something?

Ponies huzzah haha

This is no april's fool. There are people at /tg/ making this. Also, dailyequestria.com is compailing their work.

Any news on when we might see the Cutie Mark rules, then?

Everypony here is atwitter with antipation! (Stamps her hooves adorably...)


Now my head is swimming with a core book called "Cartoon Adventures!" or some such with a basic PFRPG-based rules and a lot of general fluff suggestions, then spin-off books!

Transforming Machines: Robots and Super Vehicles
Anthropomorphic Animals: HO!
Real American Heroes
Artifact Heroes: BY THE POWER!

and so forth.

Umm do cutie marks actually do anthing? I mean, in the show? From what I've seen they just label the pony's talents, not grant them any secial abilties.

That's correct. They are just representative of the pony's personality or special talent, but "Ponyfinder" seems to have special rules for them. We're curious to know what they are. ^_^

Not exactly, but since they represent your special talent, that special talent may be a talent in-game, maybe you get a bonus in certain area and you are free to choose whatever mark is related to that aspect:

Twiligth sparkle and trixie: +1 to caster level for all spells
Rainbow Dash: +10 flying speed.
That uniicorn with a pin in his flank: improved damages from his gore attack by 2 sizes categories.
Applejack: +6 to farming related chacks.
Fluttershy: animal empathy as fifth level druid or +5 to existing druid level for the purpose of determining its animal empathy modifiers.

Humbly,
Yawar

Green Ronin and Crafty Games covered Robots and Super Vehicles with Mecha and Manga for Mutants and Masterminds and Transmech, respectively.

Anthrpomorphic Animals: HO! was already covered in the recent furrysplat for PF.
Real American Heroes was done by Crafty as well.
Artifact Heroes is what I'm hoping for in part in Ultimate Contact.

Then I will be back to the days of prepubescence once more.

Twilight sparkle is always using Mage Hand. One time she drages Spike across the room by the book he's holding. Does the Mark of Magic usually grant telekinesis?

Actually, telekinesis is a Unicorn thing. They can all do it.

I noticed that in episode 4. I've only seen TS and the Moon Mare teleport so far. With the Moon Mare it was more of a gassious form.


You forgot earth ponies head butt attack. A helmit augments it.
I think if the old ones invaded Equestria, the friendliness of some of the ponies would affect them like acid. I think cupcakes are poisonous to evil abberations. A flumph loves cupcakes. :)

teleKINESIS is standard for unicorns, you're thinking of telePORTING.

Can you specifically name the book that deals with anthropomorphic animals in the PF Rules?

I think they're talking about Fursona.

There's also The Noble Wild, which is more Intelligent animals, less Anthropomorphic animals.


Thanks much, Benchak.


So who is running Ponyfinder at PaizoCon???


I think Hasbro will swoop in with lawyers and sue every player for 1 million dollars, each, because they are evil!
I'm thinking of creating a demi-plane where intelligent animals escaped to avoid the human led genocide. Most of the horse people are full sized as ponies are relatively rare.

I'm working on a pegasus bard.


I was thinking Crazy Horse.
A pegasus Oracle with the heavens mystery and the Haunted curse.
His supposed klutziness would make a good running gag, but his Rainbow Bridge power would be in demand for crossing gorges and such.

Sorry, it's Moonlight Bridge. His mark of a crescent moon and small stars lets him add his charisma bonus to his level for revelation powers such as Moonlight Bridge.

Str:8, Dex:10, Con:14, Int:12, Wis:13, Cha:15


@Goth Guru- Remember to add in the unicorn's ability adjustments. It'll end up as Str 6, Dex 10, Con 14, Int 14, Wis 15, Cha 15.
OK, since Crazy Horse won't be a front-liner.

His blue coloration contrasts his mark.

Str 6, Dex 10, Con 14, Int 14, Wis 15, Cha 15.
(Maybe I should have made his dex. the low number?)

It might be fun to have them explore a dungeon.

Have a sphinx(extra cute) at a branching corridor tell them, "To find peril or treasure you must take the right path.". The left path goes right back to the surface near town. :)

Isn't there a free tower/reverse dungeon adventure download here we could try?


Go to One Page Dungeons.

Pick one. Let the judges know how it works.


Hey everypony!

We are on the precip-... thresho-... brink?

We're about to see history, folks!

First... a YouTuber makes a MLP mashup with a Weird Al Yankovic song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhOlAU4t9Hs

Then... Weird Al himself tweeted about the song, saying it was the mashup the world had been waiting for:

http://twitter.com/#!/alyankovic/status/60438491301036032

THEN... one of the MLP directors asked Weird Al if he'd consider being on the show...

http://twitter.com/#!/goldenrusset/status/60741896728883200

THENNNNNN!

MILLIONS of pony fans the world over held their breath, eagerly awaiting Al's reply!


I couldn't clap along because I was ROTFL!
Way to reinfect me with ponyitis.
I stopped myself after about the tenth episode, now I'm going back to look for the rest of the clips.

Pinky Pie plays 2 accordions at once! Of course Weird Al likes her. Is he going to do the voice of her music teacher? Maybe he'll give voice to the town's bandleader.

1: Was your one page dungeon eliminated from the running? Time to start chanting,"Next Year!!Next Year!Next Year!".

2: If you were hoping Ponyitis would pass you by, I feel your pain.
3: If your afraid Ponies will overtake Cats on the internet, probably only temporarily. Do some comparitive searches. I'm sure Cats still get more hits than Ponies.
4: I'm probably more embarred than you, because I'm completely off the mark, as usual.

As fun as this would be, I'd probably have to lay down a house rule or two. Unicorns are the only ponies with access to magic, so I'd be tempted to limit Earth Ponies and Pegasi to non magic-using classes. To give them another class option, I'd allow access to the Skirmisher Ranger from the APG (no spells).

And here's my concept for re-imagining the cartoon as a playable RPG setting.

Equestria is a peaceful little sugarbowl kingdom of happy little ponies who put hearts and flowers on all of their architecture. But that's just the surface. Despite how peaceful and tranquil Equestria is, it's bordered on all sides by monsters, ogres, and other sorts of wickedness.

Princess Celestia, as a living goddess, is able to keep most of it at bay simply by existing. Even her powers have their limits, however, and the monsters of the Everfree Forest are but a small sample of the horrible things that could invade Equestria if she were to ever falter. If the PCs (Pony-Characters) want their world to remain a cute little sugarbowl of hearts, flowers, and rainbows, they sometimes have to get their hooves dirty and square off against the nastiness that threatens Equestria from The Outside.

I'd set it soon after Nightmare Moon was banished to the moon. The monsters and evilness the characters fight against are her leftover minions of Eternal Night that have to be cleared away to ensure the safety of Equestria.

Basically, it would be the *setting* of the cartoon, but it is most certainly *not* the cartoon.


Don't forget the spell-less Paladins: Warriors of the Holy Light from the APG.

So you don't think the zebra from Alternate Africa had druidic magic.

I was just goofing around anyway.
A unicorn with the haunted curse makes even less sense than the show.
:(


Goth Guru wrote:

Hmm... Zecora... good point. Maybe she has the Master Craftsman and Craft Wondrous Items feats. Her potions are wondrous items like the elixir of love and other consumable wondrous items.

Edit: Using the Major Magic rogue talent won't work, because that gives access to spells, which would be off-limits.

Ok, maybe just *arcane* magic is off limits to Earth Ponies and Pegasi. Divine magic comes from some other source not inherent to the pony, whereas arcane magic comes from within or through study.

Zecora could be a druid, or even an oracle with the Tongues curse. That's why she speaks in rhymes.

There is a way.

Confound these ponies! They drive me to rationalize game rules! ^_^

What about Pinkie Pie she has to be a bard of some sort.
