Yes... but i'm willing to bet you've hit the jackpot this time.

That means Bronymous' character can go with Torque (Lynt), with Caden as magic support.
Terrestial's charcter goes with Eaglesong (Sunbeam) and Kunolf (Sliver).

Unless someone has any issues with this, this will be the team lineup.


What i've asked for has been granted, so storywise i'm definitely content.

As per game mechanics... judging through the prism of my character's abilities, i think my team is going to fine. We have two fliers and we'll be a very empathic team, but other than that, it's all unique.

There's hardly a thing for me to complain. I hope we shoot off the way it is.

EDIT:


Alright, to be totally sincere, maybe i'm going to miss Torque, with his muddle the mixture. However, since Bronymous spoke of synergy between him and his character, i believe he'll have more use of being with Lyntermas in the team than i could hope to. Hence, i'm ok with it.

To players who have yet to submit a sheet, how long will it be until you guys can get a character sheet to me, so we can get this ball rolling?

I guess I'm one of them? The sheet I gave you is more or less correct, I'll try to look it over this weekend and trim off extra level gear or anything else that shouldn't be there. I'll also look the game over again an revamp his backstory to fit.

To be honest, for a few days now, the only thing missing has been my pony's backstory. I've been caught up in a vortex of events right after the 1st and i'm having an all-day-and-night rp starting at... 12 minutes ago half a city away almost all the way up to the all-weekend convent... I'd wish to have it done in peace, but i orignally planed to do it at least before our Saturday rp (Moonbound), to provide you time to analyze it/give me your opinions on it after that... and since both you asked and Bronymous is almost ready, i'll talk it over with my friends and try to fix it today.

Don't feel rushed, one of the benefits of a PBP is that you can play it by your own pace... if you need to sort some things out first, or have rl obligations, by all means get those settled first.

AleneShazam, once they're all submitted, could you update the first post to provide links to everyone's character sheets (and Sliverbrony's "censored" one) for easy access?

I took your words to heart and acted the way you advised.

Here's the one i'll be having the pleasure of enacting:

...You were NOT kidding. I'm going to have to save you so much.

Question for Alene: Starglass' dark bargain ability says that she 'cannot make saving throws this turn.' I'm under the impression that each pony gets one turn per round, and by extension Eaglesong can still grant Starglass saving throws after she uses Dark Bargain. Does this seem like the correct interpretation to you?

Save Ends – At the end of your turn, you must attempt a saving throw against all effects on you that say “save ends”.  You roll for each effect individually unless the effect says otherwise.

You're probably not understanding my build yet, so i'll let you know - the (save ends) effects that i impose on myself are the ones i do NOT wish for you to save me from. Ever.

In time, you'll see.

Also, i'm pretty sure it makes me unable to make saving throws, regardless of source.

I cannot recommend using Mind Over Matter while Blind. You will be very disappointed, 50% of the time. Though anytime you throw that out at the end of your turn, I'd be happy to get rid of it for you.

What do you mean? Mind over matter removes each (save ends) effect before its attack part kicks in, thus it guarantees effective usage in this case.
Should i be flipping a coin for targeting myself with its utility part first?  

Flip a separate coin for each target of the attack.

I'm not a target of the attack. Were the damage not dealt for (save ends) effects removed, it would have been classified as a utility anyway. We already have examples of that:

[–4] Curse Eater - Standard Utility
Remove all (save ends) conditions from you or target ally. You gain 1d12 HP for each condition removed this way.

Compare:

[–6] Mind over Matter - Standard Attack
Remove all save-ends effects from either yourself or target ally. Deal 1d12 damage to up to six creatures for each effect removed.

Would it make any sense to roll for not being accurate due to the blindiness for the same "Remove all (save ends) conditions from you or target ally. " effect for one talent and for the second not?

Blind does not affect me in the slightest. It wouldn't have made sense otherwise.
That's why i took it, despite it being so costful.

This has come up in both games I've spectated and games I've played in before.
From experience, the answer is yes, that's the correct interpretation. The This Turn instead of This Round terminology suggests that if someone else, on their turn, gives them a saving throw then they can still save.

In other news,
We now have our players assembled and our game can begin shortly. 
Currently my plan is to run the two teams in separate continuities so their actions don't clash with one other.

Oh. Though naturally, it would affect me if i was blinded and used the (save ends) removing effect on anyone other than myself. On that i agree, if that's what you had in mind.

Got around to updating Flashpoint's sheet- he's already at level 1, using a half-nuke build I never really got to try out... so I guess he's done. I could come up with some setting appropriate flavoring, if anyone wants it. Good thing about his default backstory, though, is that it more or less neatly fits into any setting.

His sheet again: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16-OBmA1ip8ugW2penoqSSOXgKTaegfw1-YfnOKtA1vY/edit

If you could come up with some reason for flashpoint to be around the baltimare area during the events of the game, that would be great. I don't want to make your character do something that you wouldn't expect.
A trip, maybe? Vacation, visiting a friend, etc etc?

OK, well assuming his general history (Guard Officer turned Firefighter) works, I don't imagine there's much more needed beyond visiting someone in Baltimare. I'm guessing its not really a tourist town, what with the creepy undertones (Though I could be misunderstanding it)? He could be visiting his old Guard Wingman SKyline, who is either stationed nearby or just lives there now.
