Description These are some initial study sketches for creating digit manipulators for ponies in the Roan RPG. The idea is to create devices that can strap to a pony's limbs to allow the finer and more precise manipulation of delicate, small objects in this case. Other designs allow the pony to have greater lifting strength. Think of them as hoof attachable waldos.

So how exactly would a pony manipulate the digits? Some form of magic within the device? built in buttons? Some sort of interface tied to the nervous system?

This is actually a really nice idea. I'm going to be the unoriginal guy and say: Lyra approves! XD

I Given all this stuff you've been illustrating for Roan, I just might read into it some more and consider backing once I get my next paycheck.

This is actually really cool! I wonder how easily available they will be in-game?

Certainly they are obtainable, if you have the bits! The lighter variation is more affordable, but the durable heavier sets get really pricey!

By what method are the digits controlled? Muscle twitches? Nerve impulses? Magic?

Baron-Engel In reply to rubbervixen [2015-08-19 02:48:13 +0000 UTC]

strictly by magic inherent in all ponies. Kind of variant on contact body levitation I think is the best way of describing it.
