EXP​

There are three ways to earn EXP. Art of any kind of your pony, RP, and Exploration/battle
To keep track of your ponys EXP make a post in your tracker with links to all exp gained and the total amount. When you have earned enough to level up go to the level up thread in the group

When a pony levels up you get Golden Horseshoes (the group currency) items, and your stats and hp go up and you can learn new skills

Battle​

Battle is done in one of the battle forums. Ether training, or Exploration
In training you fight off 1 monster at a time
First in battle each participant rolls 1d20 to decide turn order
Whoever rolls highest goes first. If there is a tie the individual with the higher dex score goes first.
Next you choose to either attack or use a skill

When you attack unarmed or with a melee weapon you roll your strength die pluce the weapon die the combined result is how much damage you do
For ranged attacks its your dexterity + weapon

If you use a skill you follow the skills instructions. When using a skill you should write what skill you are using and what it dose

In battle a mod will act as the monster same goes for exploring

A battle ends when your party is brought to 0 HP or the monster is brought to 0 hp
If you are brought to 0 hp you have the choice to kill the character and get some rewards for it or resurrect them. There is no timeline on when you have to resurrect your pony but you can not use them till you have.

Single battles net 5 exp per battle

You also have the choice to run away from battle but doing so you will forfit all items and exp you could have won from the battle

Exploration​

Explorations are where you go into a dangerous area on a quest.
What quests are available to you change with the pony’s level
You may Explore once a week. To do so go to the exploring sub forum and make a thread titled with what quest you are going on. In your first post the image of the pony going exploring Along with its class, level, move set, and exp, then tag everyone who agreed to explore with you. They then each post their pony with the same info
Once the party is assembled a shop mod will reply to the tread with the start.
Your characters then interact with the story like any other tabletop game.
Your character will be asked to fight, make decisions, and make skill checks
To make a skill check you just roll the die associated with that skill (the mod will tell you what skill to roll) and if you roll high enough you pass, roll to low however and something bad may happen

Explorations give 5 exp per battle won, 1 exp per check passed, and 10 exp for finishing it
