Subject How about adding pony races?
They should all have the weakness of gaining a cutie mark. The cutie mark should indicate what the character default desires are rather than what the player wants it to be or the character tries to force it to be. In addition, the cutie mark should be able to be "earned" before having to select any of the pony races as well as possible for some to select a pony race before getting the cutie mark. The ponies should be able to wield weapons in their respective mouth at an extreme penalty for use. The flying ponies should be able to use their wings as hands but doing so penalize their flight. The height when standing on all 4 hooves should average out to be 2.6 feet at the withers for an adult. Players should be able to decide if their respective characters allow other characters to mount them including other ponies so they can give rides to other places. If a pony is mounting some creature already than that pony shouldn't be able to be mounted even if the player allows it. The first of these races is earth ponies or earthlings, named for their connection to the earth as in ground rather than the planet Earth. They should be to ponies as humans are to most of the other races, or in otherwords the baseline. The second of these races is unicorn ponies or unicorns. They should be more magical capable and less physically capable than the earthlings. They should have a light spell. They should also have winking, which turns the respective unicorn into a magical swirl during travel and allows for the escape of minor surface level traps and travel to places float could get you to, by using the phrases wink on to turn it on and wink off to turn it off. They should also get telekenisis for the purpose of moving stuff as well as another way for them to wield items. The third of these races is pegasus ponies or pegasi. They should be more maneuverable but less able to take hits than the earthlings because of their body structure. The should have flight, cloudwalking, and the basics for weather malnipulation. Than there is the possiblilty of combining the races for new races to get different advantages and drawbacks.
