Hello again Community! After the amazing advice and assistance you provided last time. I've decided to come back for a little assistance with House ruling species. Specifically Ponies...A couple of our group are major Bronies, and the the remaining member, and GM, is open enough to allow this, if we come up with the stats for the races, and they aren't to overpowered.

So I know the Alicorn and Unicorn would probably be a pain, what with their magicalness, and honestly, we wont care if they aren't available. Though that would be nice, even if we wont use them, the GM might. I understand if this may seem a little "Why the heck would you want this!?" to some, but hey, Star Wars + Ponies, to us, is a combination of the two best things. So please keep flaming to a minimum.

Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions you give.

EDIT: Some thoughts that I just had, for those who don't know Pegasus can fly, fast, so probably some kind of bonus to agility and piloting, while Earth Ponies are strong, so something with Brawn. Unicorns are smart and magical so probably willpower or Intellect. not sure what to lower on these, or what abilities/Skill to really give them a bonus too.

Well, the t'landa Til are sorta like unicorns...

It should make your Star Wars game 20% cooler

Unicorns could start with a FR of 1, pegasi could have flight (maybe the same as a Speed 2 or 3 airspeeder), and maybe earth ponies could have a free rank in Athletics or Coordination, something like that. As for stats, you could keep them all at 2, or give each kind a specialty characteristic that starts at 3 at the expense of another one that starts at 1. Off the top of my head: unicorns would have Intellect +1 and Cunning -1, pegasi Agility +1 and Willpower -1, and earth ponies Brawn +1 and Presence -1. Alicorns would be a combination of pegasi and unicorn, would have straight 2's, both abilities, and smaller starting XP.

Just some ideas!

In all seriousness, it sounded like you had stats already, would you post them for us to look at?

What sort of abilities should they have?

They're probably going to be very restrictive narratively and unable to use most conventional gear. In return for this, feel free to juice up their stats. Maybe a presence of 1, Brawn of 3, and can cross Extreme to long range, and long to medium range in one maneuver (Rather than 2) .

Some ideas (assuming Magic=The Force and is exclusive to Unicorns.)

Earth Ponies

3 Brawn, unsure what to put at 1, maybe Presence or Intellect.

Free rank in Athletics or Resilience (player's choice), maybe remove a Setback from environment?

Pegasi

3 Agility, 1 Willpower (I agree with Oggdude here)

I'd count the flying part as a free, built-in Jetpack

Unicorns

3 Intellect or Presence, 1 Brawn

Starts with FR 1

Alicorns might works best as NPC only.

Not sure about giving Pegasi and Unicorns starting skills/talents, they already get good stuff. Maybe a free rank of Conditioned to Pegasi? I don't think they should get a free rank of Piloting since not all of them are good flyers. Possibly give Unicorns the basic Move power, all of them seem to be capable of basic telekinesis.

I appreciate all the advice, beyond what I had suggested in the edit of my post we really had nothing, and even that was just from my own guess work, based on the stuff in the Unoffical Species Menagerie. To better suit them to fit Star Wars we are thinking of making them more humanoid in appearance, like a halfway point between MLP and Equestria Girls. Just so they can use standard gear without having to give them benefits and stuff that honestly the galaxy as a whole wouldn't even try to accommodate.

Due to the power of the force, I am reluctant to suggest a Force Rating 1, off the bat for a species, even if the EU has a plethora of examples of Naturally Force Senstive Bloodlines. As our GM is just as fairly new to this as the rest of us.

For the Pegasus, we'll probably give them the Toydarian's Hover, and allow them to change between Range Bands with a single Maneuver. But go with the Agility increase, and the Willpower drop as suggested here. As well as 1 free point in either Piloting(Space) or Piloting(Planetary), due to them being more accustomed to thinking in three dimensions then other species, but only 90xp to start with.

For Earth Ponies we're going to go with the 3 Brawn and 1 Intellect as well as a free rank in Athletics or Resilience, players pick, just as you guys suggested.

As for Unicorns and Alicorns.....nevermind them, being Force Sensitive and all that jazz, the Empire hunted them down to extinction, and and have Kill On Sight orders to all their people, should they see a Horned Earth Pony, or Pegasus.....wow...I really need to think of some Alienish names for these things XD

Again, thank you for the advice!

I don't know much about them Ponies, but I'd say a galaxy that has room for a planet of teddy bears certainly has room for them!

Oh, my Lord! I'm picturing Equestria Girls with horse faces!!! Arg!

Considering all of the weird, oddly-shaped species that naturally appear in Star Wars, I'd say just let the ponies use standard gear anyway. It's all about the narrative!

As much as I want to make fun of all this, I can't, because Star wars already has far goofier in a far more official capacity. Pablo Hidalgo was right, Jaxxon is indeed the great equalizer.

See you nuts at the game table.

Hmm. Looks like a Bothan to me.

I'm exposed to so much My Little Pony decoration at work (don't ask), that I'm certain if this catches on, my character would go back to the Empire. Since we already stumbled into the system where the Death Star was being constructed...

Wouldn't it just be simpler to use the Thakwaash http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Thakwaash

No sir, I don't like it.

Omg... Bronies... I'm only just learning of this. I''m supposed to know everything and this forum keeps teaching me that I know nothing!!!

Take it from a dirty old man, there's a lot out there that you (probably) don't want to know.

And what, pray tell, is so weird about middle-aged men knowing who Twilight Sparkle, Pinky Pie, and Princess Celestia are? Hmmmmm?

That depends on how serious your relationship with "Twilie" is and if you bought the full sized plushie from a normal toy store, or special ordered it from Amsterdam...

So I know the Alicorn and Unicorn would probably be a pain, what with their magicalness, and honestly, we wont care if they aren't available.

Maybe you can make unicorns and alicorns by making ponies as force sensitive characters?

Both the species and the career/specialization can be used to create the kind of character you want.

Take whatever species, career and specialization that fits, choose the talents and skills that fit and make what you had in mind. It all makes your pony or unicorn, not just the species.

Even gear can be used to do it. Jetpacks can be reskinned as pegasi-wings and a blaster can be a magic horn shooting beams.

I do this with other class-based systems, I combine the race and class, then reskin the character to make whatever vison I have.

A warforged druid? Nope, that is an ancient transforming robot called Optimus Primal!...

Hmm. Looks like a Bothan to me.

I called bothans horse-looking aliens infront of my group last session and they all went bananas. They all agreed that bothans looked like lions, not horses.

I always thought they looked like dogs.

Well depending on your age.....

Princess Celestia: "Why, Twilight? You were the chosen one! You were supposed to destroy Discord, not join with him."

Twilight Sparkle: "I hate you!"

And...

Grand Moff Tarkin: "You may fire when ready."

Big Macintosh: "Yup".
