Page 3 — Are You An Arcanist

I've taken lots of inspiration from Lurking Rhythmically's Erin Palette, who devoted an entire week (and then some) to My Little Pony and tabletop roleplaying. She matched each of the mane six to a character class and fleshed out how a campaign in Equestria might go down. Apparently, I couldn't resist turning those notes into a story.

As reference, I went ahead and built all six characters for 4th edition. You can see some of the stats for Twilight Sparkle and the other ponies on the Cast page.

Transcript:

Twilight Sparkle: Can I talk about my character for a bit?
DM: Sure.
Twilight Sparkle: Alrighty! My little pony's name is Twilight Sparkle, and I'm a level 1 unicorn Wizard. My trained skills are Arcana, Dungeoneering, History, Insight, and Religion. As a pony, my special talent is magic.
Rainbow Dash: Wait, what?
Twilight Sparkle: Magic! My Cutie Mark is a purple star surrounded by smaller white stars.
Rarity: But you're a unicorn. Unicorns already HAVE magic. They're the magical race.
DM: Actually, unicorn magic is limited to telekinesis… and specific spells associated with a special talent.
Twilight Sparkle: And since my special talent IS magic…
Rainbow Dash: Good grief. If that's the case, I shoulda gone with "fighting stuff" as my special talent. Then I'd have an axe on my butt.
