After a fashion.

Take idyllkin aasimar from Blood of Angels as your race. Then take some appropriate appearance quirks. Apply needed skin color(you're an aasimar, so you get the whole palette). Then pick the right classes and alignments and BAM - you can have all six at one table together.

Don't forget that the Whimsy, Loyalty, and Friendship subdomains are out there now too!

Also, if kobold boons ever happen, there is an option for purple scales in Kobolds of Golarion.

GMs, you're welcome. ;)

I don't know if I should be cringing at the very idea of ponies in PFS, or laughing at the fact that it's viable.

5/5

I think I may have to do this. The question is which pony do I make for my character? Do I stick with the 6 main characters or do I go with one of the entertaining secondary characters like Derpy?

The Great and Powerful Trixie, illusionist wizard.

Come on people, someone throw Nosig an apple . . . I mean a link. Ponies aren't my thing or I would help him out.


So... How does that make you 4 legged?

I don't know. To me "bestial qualities such as dragon scales, fish scales, fur, manes, or talons" sounds more on the Sara Jessica Parker end of the horsiness scale than My Little Pony.

Get the evolutions from your summoner levels and add limbs?

Being a biped is excusable if you're Lyra. ;)

Then be a summoner and have your eidolon be a quadruped, possibly with the wings evolution. That gets you your Derpy or Rainbow Dash or Doctor Whooves or whoever.

Two ponies for the price of one!

Yup whatchya got here is a good old fashioned Pony infestation. They gets at the roots of yer fandom and then spread throughout the thing if your not careful.

Luckily I gots me some hardcore Norwegian death metal back in the van. You fix me a cup o joe and I'll have them outta here faster than you can say "Fluttershy's head just exploded"

There's enough varied antropomorphism in fanart that you'll get a good idea how to create a nice playable "pony" character if you really want to.

Extra kudos for a varisian cutie (birth-)mark. In color!

I regularly play with a guy who has a character who is a summoner. His eidiolon is a black alicorn mare named Nyx.

Spoiler:
Good thing I decided to not play my summoner idea who was totally not Minako Arisato

This is why we can't have nice things.

I had a brony in my play group. I told him they ruin everything they come in contact with. He had no idea what I was referring to.

THIS. This is what I'm referring to.

Considering I'm all over that thing, it never mattered to me.

I don't want to TRY this, but I do want to SEE it. Why can't they bronies be content just making human version of the characters? Works for the artists I follow!

I started an extremely fashionable wild empathy focused Druid and named her "Flutter" just to screw with someone.

Well I do admit it would probably MUCH easier to pull of an Equestria Girl in pathfinder then it would be a all out Pony. <.< >.>

And still no pony links, I'm very disappointed. :-)

My post doesn't count as a pony link? Half the image is straight out of an episode!

Silver Crusade 4/5

Before the Master Summoner archetype was banned in PFS, I had a friend with a summoner named Megan who would summon ponies. She actually had the My Little Pony box of toy ponies that were exactly the right size for Pathfinder maps, and she would pull out a different one each time she summoned a pony.

When I first played with my friends summoner(first steps), he spent the entire mission summoning ponies and sending them blindly into the dungeon naming them after characters from MLP. He had to depend on other players at the table to know the names of the ponies. The most terrifying thing was that they were effectively soloing the dungeon...

Well, you know, in the NSA supervised territory over here we tend to have our ponies in lasagna. Quite popular.

Did it, back when synthesist summoners were legal. Minato made his one appearance, and proceeded to annoy my VC to *no* end.

How did said summoner convey commands? Tends to be a big mistake people make when summoning. If you cant talk to them than they come in, look around for your enemies and attack the nearest one. Now lets say you can communicate with said pony, and send it into dungeon, it still wouldnt know whom your enemies are. Just had someone try the "save the drowning person by summoning dolphin, except dolphin didnt understand common and instead attacked the other person in the water who was an enemy.

The summoner didn't convey any commands, he even said that when the GM asked. The pony was sent in and blindly attacked whatever it ran into. Which led to someone shouting "Flutteryshy is on a rampage!" "RainbowDash No!" I hope no one in that dungeon was important or someone we were supposed to talk to, because we sent in fiendish ponies on a rampage. That was actually pretty fun, the GM gave us an awful face when we split up and he had to deal with 3 groups of people including gunslingers, alchemist, and rampaging fiendish ponies named after the Mane Six.

I forgot all about the birthmark traits that could play into that.

Another note: vestigal wings can be taken by any aasimar and turned into functional wings by an aasimar feat further down the line.

Also, potential Pinkie-Pie analogues should note that dimension door is on the bard spell list. ;)

And then there are crazy people who write things like this.

That would be relevant, except, err, Pinkie is playing the paladin...

(I think Rainbow Dash as Ezren is my favorite though)

Hmm, now make said aasimar a worshiper of Zon Kuthon and you get an entirely different pony.
