Page 839 — Calculated Construction

Lower your expectations. It's been a long-established fact that I'm not the best at character creation (though I think I have improved over the years of intermittent criticism), but I'm not about to start crowdsourcing this stuff either.

I also wasn't taking into account all of the Mane Six's future canon capabilities, so banish that from your mind. Trying to match 4e 1-to-1 to the show and vice-versa is a fool's errand — that's how I attempted to make the original character builds.

Anyway, updates to the Cast page will be going up hopefully on the next update.

By now, there should be a new opening for SpudShot players on the ol' Patreon. I'm also finally nailing down some of the key details for my next big podcast campaign. Probably after the holidays, I'll get that really rolling…

Transcript:
DM: Sooooooooo… How did the Wizard revamp go?
Twilight Sparkle: Well I started with the major subclasses of Wizard and compared them all, determined that my main choice was between Arcanist and Mage… Then I compared all the powers that are available between Wizard and Mage – there's a lot of overlap – but I determined that my power choices as a Level 1 Arcanist had been awful… So I pushed forward making an Evocation/Pyromancy "blaster" Mage, but I found that there were a couple of powers outside of those schools that I liked better… So I decided to switch to an Orb of Imposition Arcanist, mainly pulling control powers from the Illusion school! And once we hit Level 11, it'll synergize super well with the Psychic Lock feat!
DM: Really. After all that time and effort, you ended up with the staple "Orb Illusionist."
Twilight Sparkle: Do you know how many pages of spreadsheets I made?!
DM: Uh…
Twilight Sparkle: At least SEVEN!
Rainbow Dash: Well, G, looks like you didn't even need to go to all that trouble. We were already on our way to Munchkin Town.
Gilda: Heh-ha-ha!
