((Note: This RP is meant mainly for advanced Roleplayers, but is open to anyone. Please, if you're new, don't apply.))

 

Story:

Spoiler

 

Basics: 

  • This world exists entirely separate from the MLP:FiM canon. However, Celestia and Luna are still deities, making phrases "Sweet Celestia" and "With Celestia as my witness..." still usable.
  • This is basically a Dungeons & Dragons RP, so be in that mindset.
  • I will be rolling a d20 for checks that matter, and in social interactions with NPCs when trying to lie or strike a deal.

 

Rules:

  • Basic RP rules apply to this RP.
  • The only races available are: Earth, Unicorn, Pegasus, Griffon, and Zebra. Griffons will be treated as Pegasi, Zebras will be treated as Earths. Some exceptions may be made.
  • Don't be impatient when waiting for a response, I and many others have lives outside Brohoof.
  • Players will be revived at my discretion. 

Classes:

     

     - Fighter. Basic hack and slash character. (Any race)

     - Cleric. A mainly healing class, but also good in melees. Casts divine spells. (Unicorns or Earths)

     - Ranger. Uses bows OR dual wield blades. (Any race)

     - Rogue. Skill monkey, for lack of a better term. Generally silver tongued or highly dexterous. (Earths or Pegasi)

     - Wizard. Highly intelligent, but not very strong. Caster of arcane spells. (Unicorns)

     - Druid. Like Cleric, but casts nature divine spells. (Earths)

     - Paladin. Like Cleric, but slightly less support based and more combat based. (Pegasi)

     - Bard. A teller of stories, Bards have silver tongues and cast spells through a musical instrument. (Any race)

 

     - Other. If you are an experienced D&D player and would prefer to play as another class, link me to a page with it's stats for me to approve.

 

Notes:

 

     -Those who want to be wizards or clerics should message me, so we can work out spells.

     - I will be referencing this in order to determine spell effects and other things. I would suggest giving it a quick skim.

     - Create a character through this and post it with your app. Use this to calculate ability score changes to the selected race.

     - Use the 28 point buy system found in the Dungeon Masters Guide 3.5e for ability scores.

 

Apps:

 

Name:

 

Race:

 

Class:

 

Appearance:

 

Bio:

 

Skills (What is your character good at? This should be slightly related to your class.):

 

 

Slots (These will be strict. I may make one exception, but that's it.):

 

1) Miles (Ranger. Kibamoon)

 

2) Black Widow (Wizard. Scifidude47)

 

3) Van (Mortician. Tudexd) 

 

4) James (Rogue. James the Sexy Cat)

 

5)

 

 

Ask me questions! It is a great way to help you and others learn about the way this RP works.

 

Also, after the main quest, if this RP is still going strong and others want to keep going, I will make up a new story and continue it through the same thread.

Before I join, I have to ask a few questions.

 

1. How exactly will the D20 system work? 

 

2. Will there be stats?

 

3. Do you plan on having some sort of main quest?

 

Also, just a pointer;

 

I don't mean to burst your bubble, but D20 RPs aren't that popular here (mainly because people aren't that patient :U)

 

I wish you the best of luck in getting this going, and I will send in an app when I have time :3

1) It's mainly like so: "So and so attempts to stab the bandit in the face." Then with a roll of my d20, I will type a response based on the roll.

 

2) Yes, they will be available through the character sheet made for those who apply. They will be adjustable early in the RP at the request of the players.

 

3) Yes, it involves the country the party has just entered. But how the story plays out exactly is dependent on what the characters do.

 

And you'd be surprised. The last RP I did like this lasted a while before people refused to respond to each other characters. It was no lack of response from me that caused it to die.

Just a D20 roll sounds a bit... basic.

 

perhaps some variables could add or subtract from the result?

 

For example, if a character tries to pick a lock, and one of their skills is lockpicking, then their roll could be D20+3.

 

Or perhaps if they're using a damaged weapon, the roll is D20-1

 

Also, how do you plan on calculating damage? Health system or just describing injuries? (Injuries could also affect rolls, btw)

I'm an experienced D&D player, bonuses will be applied, that's why I will be spending time to type up the character sheets. Damage will be done via the health system and I will use the damage rolls of the weapon associated in the Players Handbook. I will also describe injuries, just for aesthetics.

Name: Miles

 

Race: Pegasus

 

Class: Ranger

 

Appearance: 

Spoiler

 

Bio: Miles grew up in a rather small cloud a few miles away from Cloudsdale. As he grew older, the cloud town and the surrounding areas grew too familiar to him and he developed a longing for adventure and to see new lands. One evening he packed up and ran away from home, taking very little with him apart from a few odds and ends. After braving the harsh environment for a few years, he learned rather quickly the in's and out's of living in his new forest home. It wasn't long before he met a group of fellow adventurers and, after some persuasion, was convinced to join up with them. He did so and found it quite enjoyable, and has been dungeoneering across Equestria since, just waiting at the taverns for the next eager band of explorers looking for help on their journeys.

 

Skills: Bowmanship, survival

 

If it helps, here's his actual sheet: http://www.myth-weav...?sheetid=749714

If you would rather make your own specifically for this rp, go right ahead. The above is for Pathfinder, so I'm not sure if that system will mesh with your own.

 

Scifi, I think he means he's not using only the 20 sided die, but rather the general d20 rolling system.

I'm an experienced D&D player.

You've got yourself another member c: 

 

Name: Black Widow

 

Race: Unicorn

 

Class:  Wizard

 

Appearance: LINK (not my art) (Her CM is a "hourglass" mark, akin to the one on the spider that shares her name,)

 

Bio: She lived her early life in an orphanage, being picked on for the fact that she liked most things that other foals found frightening, such as lighting little dolls on fire, and that she often did things that her caretakers considered 'masculine.' Her teen years were just about as mediocre, with a myriad of names, break-ups, and other high school drama. Her adult life was a turning point, where she met the love of her life, Fleur Cosue, and they adopted a foal. Life had become mostly normal for her. 

 

Now, unable to hold any sort of job with meaningful income, Black Widow has chosen to give up her mostly home-bound life for a life of exploring the world, hoping that maybe she'll find some treasure in order to help support her family.

 

Skills: Dark Magic is her forte, her talents lying in spells such as hypnosis. (If you consider this OP, I'll gladly change it.)

Couple of questions I do enjoy D&D but is this actually D&D or just simplified version of it? If it is a simplified version of D&D how do skills are gonna play out? Do we choose feats? If we are playing actual D&D can I use any book? And if this is a advance players RPG I'm sure most of us should know how to use http://www.myth-weav...m/forumhome.php for character sheet. Another thing you said if you wish to play another class contact you? Does that mean Homebrew is aloud? 

 

The last one is a nitpick but. Why isn't the bard a class in this game? C'mon I know D&D only has 10 and half classes but c'mon be nice to the half class

1) It is a simplified version. I'm not sure how to describe it.

 

2) Skills will be rolled when a character attempts to do something that constitutes a skill check.

 

3) Sort of. I'm giving feats based on the character's bio and their skills. For example, if someone says that their character is athletic, I will assign the Acrobatic feat.

 

4) You can use classes from any book that fits D&D 3.5e.

 

5) You're right. I will put the Myth-Weaver link in the first post, thank you.

 

6) By another class, I mean any class from another book. Sorry that was confusing.

 

7) Bard class isn't in here because it is easily overshadowed by most other classes. I'll put it in anyway, just in case.

Homebrew classes as in classes people create and put them on the internet for example http://dnd-wiki.org/...or_(3.5e_Class)

 

 

One last question do we choose where to put the stats points or do we roll for it or are you're gonna simply do it yourself and put whatever is the best option for each class?

I guess you can do homebrew, but I know that there are some that are not balanced. That's what I'm worried about.

 

When choosing Ablility Scores, use a 28 point buy system.

 

And I'll fix the link. Thanks for pointing that out.

Oh and what I meant on skills was are assigning points into them or not?

 

You know what I'll just get my normal character sheet together and then if I use or not the skills table on the character sheet either way is fine, and since you're choosing feats for each character that's one less bother, Also are we using the pathfinder character sheet or the D&D one?

Appearance:

Spoiler

 

Bio: Van differently from his fellow Lunar ponies friends discovered that roaming around in dark caves is a very, very... Very stupid idea, so he left his coven. After leaving his home he wandered for months passing village by village, Money in the beginning was something alien to him, but he eventually figured out. During his travels he met a wizard to where he learned a bit of arcane knowledge and medicine. After a couple of months with the wizard Van decided to leave, as he reached the conclusion that arcane magic didn't live up to his expectations. Still he kept on his quest for knowledge. He eventually stumbled on a monastery for the Church Of Luna. But that place was quickly dismissed. Even though they had more knowledge on healing and the body Van thought the idea of asking the gods for miracles was silly. It was then that it hit him if gods can make miracles why couldn't he? He held the knowledge for it. That was it! No magic and no divine intervention Van decided he would make miracles with his own hooves. So he started his studies on anatomy and dabbled on the science of death, eventually meeting other adventurers who might come in handy in the days to come.  

 

Skills Healing and Knowledge on necromancy. "Don't worry I'll make sure you look good for your funeral"

You ability scores are really high and don't add up to the 28 point buy system. The system can be found on the table on page 170 of the Dungeon Master's Guide.

Ok, one thing. I need you to make a character sheet through this.

Please use this in order to create the character, and use this to calculate ability score adjustments for your race.

Also, when determining your ability scores, please use this calculator. Use a 28 point buy system for D&D.

You could have me make one for you if you don't know/don't want to make one yourself....

Appearance:

Spoiler

Bio: Since she was a little filly, she enjoyed magic. Some ponies think she is spoiled, bratty, and girly. But she is actually very brave. And, she doesn't mind getting her hooves dirty. She is one of the best in her Filly Scouting years and is very great in healing. When they were on their patrol for protecting animals, a pony was holding a spear, about to kill an innocent bunny. She jumped to save it and the spear hit her flank. When she healed herself, her cutie mark formed from the blood. She then resumed her duty by helping the Filly Scouts and works as a apprentice at the Ponyville Hospital.

 

Skills (What is your character good at? This should be slightly related to your class.): She is quite great at convincing, a mastery in medical magic & the arts, and familiar with some powerful spells.

 

Do I need to change something? (Can she also have a pet companion?)
