((Rose I think there is a problem here. Pegasus and earth ponies get starting stats that are reasonable but shouldn't the Unicorns get some too? say 3 to magic and 2 to intelligence? or just 2 to both? other wise Pegasus ponies get a 4 point lead and can fly and Earth ponies get a 16 point lead while unicorns get nothing))
Having a bonus to magic wouldn't be logical, as none of the other races have magic anyway. Stats don't really mean anything except in comparison to other stats. Thus, if all unicorns started with a magic bonus, because all other unicorns would have the same magic bonus, it wouldn't even mean anything.
As for a bonus to intelligence, unicorns aren't naturally any more than any other race of pony.
Due to the extremely useful nature of magic, coupled with the fact that no bonuses would really make logical sense, I figured unicorns would be fine without any statistical bonuses. If, however, this turns out to create balance issues in the the game, I'd be more than happy to work things out.
As for you character, he looks great - there's nothing you need to change.
I'm going to go write the first post right now.
EDIT: After rethinking things a little, I do agree that unicorns might
seem underpowered because they have a smaller number of actual stat points than the other races. Would it improve things if they all started with five points to magic? It wouldn't change the game at all, as stats are comparative, as I described above. However, it would make unicorn characters appear more powerful from a purely statistical vantage point.
