Line 51:
'''Twilight:''' BOTH! }}
* [[I Shall Taunt You]]: {{spoiler|Dash tries to goad the Shadowbolts into showing aggression so she can attack.}}
* [[Improbably
* [[Info Dump]]: Fluttershy's gushing over Spike leads to him relating how dragons first came to Equestria. Most of it is off-panel, though, with the reader only getting to hear the lead-in and tail end.
* [[Jerkass Realization]]: Sort of. [http://friendshipisdragons.thecomicseries.com/comics/109 Twilight's player realizes that] she'd been playing like a [[Munchkin]] after seeing [[Crossover|Luke]] [[One Piece Grand Line 3 Point 5 (Webcomic)|and Cory]] serve out ridiculous character ideas. Applejack's player reassures her that she's not as bad as them.
Line 61:
** AJ's player deliberately designed her as [[Genre Savvy]] enough to justify this as in-character knowledge and/or reasonable conclusions based on her in-character knowledge.
** Dash's [[Leave Your Quest Test]] leads to a brief discussion about this, as the rest of the group presumes she'll use OOC knowledge to her benefit. {{spoiler|She doesn't.}}
* [[Min
** Fluttershy is the only pony who doesn't have some shade of this, her player's inexperience leading to her focusing on charisma, which is mostly wasted on a druid. However, she mentions that she couldn't decide on just ''one'' animal companion, leading to her focus on Animal Empathy.
** Naturally appears in the ''[[One Piece Grand Line 3 Point 5 (Webcomic)|One Piece Grand Line 3 Point 5]]'' [[Crossover]]. Cory's ''first'' character is Snips, with his scissors mark symbolizing a talent for 'cutting'. Meaning he's the ''fastest'' when it comes to cutting, and every cut deals massive damage. When that doesn't pass, his second attempt's the Mysterious Mare-Do-Well... with ''ALL'' their talents.
Line 74:
* [[NPC]]: Spike's dialogue is naturally provided by the GM, along with many other minor characters.
* [[Off the Rails]]: The DM didn't foresee the possibility of Twilight successfully assigning her party all the Elements of Harmony.
** The CMC's make a darn good attempt at this in objection to Fluttershy's request to find her rabbits; they accuse her of being evil instead and attack her. {{spoiler|This turns out to be a very bad idea; see [[Total Party Kill]], [[Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies]] and [[Oh Crap]].}}
* [[Oh Crap]]: The CMC's reaction to realising that {{spoiler|the quest giver they just attacked was a 15th level druid.}}
* [[Player Archetypes]]:
Line 92:
'''Applejack:''' ''Stop talkin'!!'' }}
* [[Required Secondary Powers]]: Applejack's player establishes this about cutie marks. Essentially, if a pony's cutie mark symbolizes what they're best at, they have to know ''everything'' about that particular subject, and barring obscenely specific talents, there's bound to be some skills that overlap with other fields. So even though, for example, Applejack is an apple farmer, there are plenty of skills and aptitudes that cross over into her player class as a ranger.
* [[Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies]]: When Twilight threatens to derail his planned plot completely, the GM responds by threatening a [[Total Party Kill]] courtesy of Nightmare Moon.
** Actually happens to the CMC's {{spoiler|in their scene with Fluttershy taken from Staremaster. The CMC's try to derail the plot by accusing Fluttershy of being evil when she sets them a fetch quest, promptly attacking her familiar, Angel. Fluttershy promptly reveals herself to be a 15th level druid and wipes them out.}}
* [[Schrodinger's Gun]]: The GM has this in his arsenal, and Applejack's player is [[Genre Savvy]] enough to recognize it, to the point she warns him against turning an idle comment by Twilight into a plot twist.
