Re: Character Creation advice.
Huh. Those all sound very interesting for gameplay with my character, but maybe during combat situations I could go with this:
Derp does sound fun though.
Does this sound good to any of you?
(I'm not gonna give her the ability to breathe underwater since she's a merpony, not a sea pony. Head-cannon-y stuff.)
- Narcolespy:
Whenever you roll a 5 or less on any skill check, toss a coin. Once you get "heads" three times in this manner, you become "sleepy". Whilst "sleepy", you must toss a coin before any skill check. If heads, you critically fail that skill check, by falling asleep in the middle of doing it. You wake up a minute later (or sooner, if disturbed or harmed), and are no longer "sleepy". When you wake up, you may regain a single use of a x/day utility talent thanks to your short rest.

Ah, bear in mind Non-combat and Combat are meant to be specifically kept faaaaaaar apart from each other. So Narcolepsy only works outside of combat... That's the only time you'd do skill checks.
Derp is fun for the extra magic it gives you. And more critical fails means less disappointing failure, more hilarious failure.

Re: Character Creation advice.
Well trying to exit combat, avoid combat, or end combat early (read having enemies not being KOed and/or killed by some type of speach to stop this before people get really hurt or something of that nature) can be done with skill checks... BUT that's the closest the combat and non-combat touch in this system.
Re: Character Creation advice.
Is there a derp for combat situations?

Re: Character Creation advice.
not really but there are a few things that well are utterly random most of the time that might have the same vibe...

Re: Character Creation advice.
Well, I'm just looking for something for combat situations that could be roleplayed as narcolepsy, so any ideas are welcome!

Re: Character Creation advice.
Well the two that come to mind right away are Perfect Focus and Redirect Focus but without knowing what role you want to play in combat I can't really be much help...

Re: Character Creation advice.
well I usually prefer to play cleric types, though I think this character would be a little more of a fighter/cleric. Not entirely sure, though, just mostly sure.

Re: Character Creation advice.
Wild lightning's d10 and 'frenzy' are good 'combat derps'; everytime you target your allies on accident it could be you narcoleptically falling asleep and dropping your St. Elmo's Fire or whatever...
There aren't really any healing moves you can fail, as reliability is KEY in that class. Still, a healer who likes to minor 'frenzy' with cries of 'SORRYIPROMISEIWILLHEALYOULATER' could be plenty funny... yeah, fall asleep, drop your lightning, wake up via the explosion... etc.

Re: Character Creation advice.
Frenzy would be a rather good "derp" choice as would be Thunderstorm. Invigorating Strike and Sunburst are fighter stuff you might like to look at. Divine Boon, Brilliant Flare and Healing Salve would be good choices for the cleric side. Now sleepy stuff is a tad hard Perfect Focus and Redirect Focus as I said before maybe Psychic Surge or Deal with Discord (Good Dream or Bad Dream). Remember you can only pick eight.

Not so much as advice, but I needed somewhere to post it.

Re: Character Creation advice.
Not really a request for character creation, but more a request for character advice.
Storm who's primarily a doctor, but a mashup of different things, including Pegasus weather-crafting. It took me awhile to figure out aspects of his personality and backstory. I've pretty much mapped out what I want do with him terms of his Destiny(he's Level 4, and took Miracle Worker), but I'm kinda wondering what to take for his level his abilities at Lvl 5 and 8.
First thing I had in mind
Element Master (Cellular Growth) - Never mind that the ability says choose a solid or liquid, would used this ability to regrow limbs and general healing that a normal doctor wouldn't be able to provide. Then I saw the Level 7 ability of Miracle Worker does exactly that, so I crossed that off the list.
Element Master (Water or Blood) - Similar to above, but more likely to be accepted. Keeping in mind that most organisms are 90% water, but other than using it as poor-ponies ponykinesis, the only other thing I could use it for is curing things like poisoning or disease, which while there is a disease that a central theme of the campaign he's in, he's also manufactured a cure.
Applejack of all Trades - Boring but practical.
You Don’t Know Where It’s Been - Same. Storm's been a bit of a packrat all campaign, so this might be useful.
Longrunner - Again, boring but practical.
Booke Forte - Yadda, yadda. Storm's taken Freaky Knowledge at least a few times. This might make sense here.
Thoughts?

Re: Character Creation advice.
10 Seconds Flat is always an option but understandable if you don't want more weather options.
However, one suggestion is the Enchanting tree. Most can be reflavored easily and things like environmental hazards make good secondary skills for a medic to compliment the actual medical skills.

There are few abilities under Enchanting which I find pretty useful. Just worried about justifying them IC. Storm's a pegasus, not a unicorn. In particular, I'm looking at
Eternal Flame - Will O' Wisp?
Traveler's Mantle - Physical cloaks?
Undetectable - Heavy Fog?
Stepping Stones - Clouds heavily reinforced with Pegasus Weather magic?

Flashlights or friendly fireflies.

Generally what I use it as and what I see others use it as to the point I'm surprised it's listed as a magical flavoring.

Sounds legit for Equestria as a setting.
