05:54:03 <Brunius_AFK> They release more than 1 scenario per month, on average
05:54:06 Brunius_AFK is now known as Brunius
05:54:14 <Brunius> Don't they release 2 for Gencon?
05:54:26 <Brunius> Then two the month after, or something?
06:16:10 <Avatar> I reckon it's all a charade
06:21:08 <Brunius> Why is that?
06:21:39 <Avatar> maybe it is, I don't know
06:21:47 <Avatar> someone is playing a joke on us maybe
06:34:50 <Avatar> it's probably time to unfollow d&d on facebook, since all they post is 4e related garbage
06:40:51 <Avatar> Ministro is a system wide Qt shared libraries installer/provider service. It acts as a bridge between your apps and Qt libraries.
06:40:56 <Avatar> does that mean I can run CA on my phone now
06:43:23 <Ballig> not without porting, I imagine
06:43:29 <Ballig> still don't get why you would want to
06:43:38 <Avatar> so I can play over the phone
06:43:43 <Avatar> how do I port it
06:43:45 <Ballig> you won't be able to though
06:43:51 <Ballig> things are slow enough when you do it online regularly
06:43:52 <Avatar> I reckon it is possible
06:43:57 <Ballig> having to switch between apps and type onto a phone would be stupid
06:44:08 <Avatar> maybe it could go in the notification bar
06:44:08 <Ballig> you don't port it, I do
07:12:30 <Brunius> Ballig: Make it redownload the map every time someone gets moved
07:12:34 <Brunius> Just for the phone version
07:16:15 <Avatar> yeah make it as painful as possible
07:16:19 <Avatar> how funny would that be
07:16:39 <Avatar> make it just take snapshots as high-res bmps and send it to the phone
07:43:42 <Brunius> How hard would it be to integrate a basic IRC client in mobile CA?
07:48:32 <Avatar> why would you need to do that
07:48:40 <Avatar> android already has a great IRC client
07:48:53 <Avatar> that would be like trying to integrate mirc into CA

08:51:45 <MekkisScreen> Brunius: not hard
08:51:49 <MekkisScreen> but why>
10:00:16 <MekkisScreen> I already have a phone version of CA
10:03:00 snypt has quit (Quit: Leaving)
10:29:07 <Avatar-> needs to be usable
10:38:43 <Avatar-> I'm tempted to get a beginner box
10:38:50 <Avatar-> if only for the books
10:40:39 <canine> http://www.independent.ie/national-news/courts/man-who-tried-to-turn-his-faeces-into-gold-is-jailed-2911748.html
10:47:10 <Avatar-> what
10:47:19 <Avatar-> how can you even begin to try that
10:47:28 <Avatar-> melt it?
10:48:13 <Avatar-> haha I was right
10:49:11 <Avatar-> canine can you play tomorrow? 2 pm
10:49:34 <Avatar-> mekkis: have you confirmed anyone yet apart from me
10:49:45 <canine> yeah I'll be here
10:52:34 <Avatar-> are you good with 3-4 hours from then
10:52:47 <Avatar-> it's almost 12 pm here now
10:53:58 <canine> I should be
10:54:19 <canine> 1 pm would be better for me but 2 works
11:02:20 <Avatar-> that's 12 pm for mekkis and he has a strict lunch schedule
11:08:58 <canine> cool, 2 works then
11:14:44 <Avatar-> wonder if eidrehn and zerib will show their ugly faces
11:28:08 Tashes_ has quit (Connection reset by peer)
11:52:57 canine has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
12:03:03 <Avatar-> one of them confirmed I think? zerib?
12:03:31 <Avatar-> and eidrehn is only 3 hours behind and keen so he'll likely show
12:03:54 <Avatar-> maybe we can uptier a 5 or 6 player session
12:29:26 <MekkisScreen> mmm
12:29:31 <MekkisScreen> you should
13:12:30 <Avatar-> if we get all of them
13:12:41 <Avatar-> better chances of that happening if you ask them for confirmation

15:22:12 <MekkisScreen> Crypt ofthe everflame is now PFS sanctioned
15:34:01 <Avatar-> how is that possible
15:34:12 <Avatar-> that's a full fledged campaign
15:34:36 <Avatar-> our do you mean just the equipment from it
15:34:41 <Avatar-> or
15:35:04 <Avatar-> swype had big problems distinguishing between our and or
15:35:09 <Avatar-> has
15:35:26 <MekkisScreen> it's a sanctioned module
15:35:36 <MekkisScreen> it'll give you about 3 XSP, probably 4 PA
15:37:10 <MekkisScreen> paizo.com/paizo/blog
15:38:10 <Avatar-> shit
15:38:19 <Avatar-> lucky we didn't play it before
15:38:35 <Avatar-> what tier
15:39:57 <MekkisScreen> 1-2 I guess
15:40:11 <Avatar-> nothing on that link about it
15:40:12 <MekkisScreen> Balls was going to run it, wasn't he?
15:40:20 <MekkisScreen> oh yeah?
15:40:41 <MekkisScreen> http://paizo.com/paizo/blog/v5748dyo5lcqe
15:41:56 <MekkisScreen> about halfway down the page
15:42:47 <MekkisScreen> I've got a copy of it - signed by Buhlman... should I run it if Ballig doesn't want to?
15:43:53 <MekkisScreen> (I figure that Ballig would run it: I'd rather run Godsmouth Heresy)
15:45:28 <Avatar-> yeah man I'm pretty sure he has dibs
15:45:38 <Avatar-> since it's bern in the topic for months
15:48:56 <Avatar-> that first link you pasted was a bit vague man
15:49:11 <Avatar-> the article was like 7 posts down, in a footnote
15:51:13 Avatar- has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
15:56:05 Avatar- ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
15:57:17 <Avatar-> :o)
16:00:55 <MekkisScreen> sorry about that
16:01:07 <MekkisScreen> you should readthe Pathfinder novels
16:02:14 <Avatar-> negative that
16:02:22 <Avatar-> doesn't interest me in the slightest
16:02:45 <Avatar-> I want to control the story, not read it
16:03:43 <Avatar-> what other pathfinders do and what happens to them bores the bajeezus out of me
16:03:51 <MekkisScreen> ou get PFS boons for it...
16:04:05 <Avatar-> unless they're in my party
16:04:06 <Avatar-> not worth it
16:04:08 <Avatar-> how would that even work
16:04:30 <MekkisScreen> you should know more about the world you're in
16:04:45 <MekkisScreen> what do you know about Irrisian?
16:13:45 <Avatar-> wait up
16:13:53 <Avatar-> how do you get the boon
16:14:46 <MekkisScreen> y reading the novel
16:16:00 Avatar- has quit (Quit: go get analysed)
16:16:06 <Avatar> can't I just say I've read it
16:24:24 <Avatar> are you there
16:26:24 <Ballig> what am I running
16:27:18 <Ballig> oh, crypt of the everflame
16:27:21 <Ballig> that's kind of cool
16:27:28 <Ballig> maybe we should run some level one characters through it
16:27:44 <Avatar> I've still got Mellon at level 1
16:27:48 <Avatar> for one more session
16:28:03 <Avatar> ballig are you running a game on sunday
16:28:09 <Avatar> or should I prep one
16:28:11 <Ballig> I'd have to buy a new one, but sure
16:29:08 <Avatar> what timeslot
16:29:15 <Ballig> whenever
16:29:17 <Ballig> probably morning
16:29:20 <MekkisScreen> Balling, why not CoTe?
16:29:42 <Ballig> do we have level one characters that want to play it
16:29:54 <MekkisScreen> can they be level 2?
16:30:07 <Ballig> or level 2
16:30:13 <MekkisScreen> I've got several level 2 characters
16:30:34 <Avatar> does faerie fire penetrate deeper darkness
16:30:44 <Ballig> isn't faerie fire for invisibility
16:30:50 <Avatar> uncovers stealth
16:30:51 <Ballig> what level are they
16:30:56 <Ballig> what level is deeper darkness
16:30:57 <Avatar> -20 penalty
16:31:00 <Ballig> sorry, "they" being faerie fire
16:31:05 <Avatar> faerie fire is 1
16:31:06 <Ballig> stealth is different to magical darkness
16:31:10 <Avatar> deeper darkness is probably like 3
16:31:46 <Avatar> outlined subjects shed light as candles
16:31:52 <Avatar> that suggests it's magical light
16:32:17 <Ballig> yeah but the level discrepency will get you on that
16:32:36 <Avatar> wait, it's specific
16:32:39 <Avatar> darkness functions normally
16:34:50 <Avatar> turns out there is actually a way to load and fire a firearm underwater
16:34:56 <Ballig> ha
16:35:48 <Avatar> 2300gp, roughly
16:36:13 <Avatar> possibly doesn't apply to a musket though
16:37:03 <Avatar> a musket is metal isn't it
16:38:09 <Ballig> yeah
16:38:34 <Avatar> oil of silence to put a silencer on my gun for 1 hour
16:38:49 <Avatar> god I'm drooling over these
16:39:07 <Avatar> and this is only the cheap stuff
16:41:28 <Ballig> haha
16:41:33 <Ballig> checking our minor wondrous items?
16:42:03 <MekkisScreen> 3
16:42:16 <MekkisScreen> please, no dark stalkers....
16:42:19 <MekkisScreen> :(
16:42:28 <Ballig> haha
16:42:34 <Ballig> I'm pretty sure there are no dark stalkers in cote
16:42:42 <Ballig> it's pretty beginner-oriented
16:47:57 <Avatar> how long will it take to run
16:48:00 <Avatar> like 10 sessions
16:48:11 <Avatar> can we put our characters on hold for that long
16:50:30 <Ballig> MekkisScreen: are people expected to put their character on hold until the end of a sanctioned module?
16:52:16 <Avatar> if the character dies in one, they can't get credit
16:52:35 <Avatar> so they are sort of forced to keep playing for no credit
16:53:05 <Avatar> less of an issue if they die in CotE I guess
16:56:34 <Avatar> man I can't wait to play and level up
16:56:40 <Avatar> level fucking 3
16:57:17 <Avatar> hell who's up for a game tonight
16:57:19 <Avatar> I'll run one
16:58:04 <MekkisScreen> yes
16:58:22 <Avatar> what can I run that you haven't played
16:58:33 <Avatar> shades of ice
16:59:06 <Avatar> wanted more people for that
17:13:20 knfbny has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
17:15:35 <Avatar> got a letter from australia post
17:15:48 <Avatar> I thought they were telling me they had ultimate combat waiting for me
17:16:00 <Avatar> turns out they just want to tell me they sell car insurance now??
17:44:08 <MekkisScreen> Avatar: got ultimate magic?
17:45:34 <Avatar> yeap
17:45:42 <Avatar> do you need it
17:45:47 <Avatar> I've dropboxed it
17:45:55 <MekkisScreen> as dead tree?
17:46:06 <Avatar> no, I didn't need it
17:46:16 <Avatar> why
17:50:59 <MekkisScreen> I have two copies
17:51:18 <Brunius> I'm up for a game tonight.
17:51:28 <Brunius> I'll play Kaleb!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!one!!!!!
17:52:08 <MekkisScreen> I'll play Lance-corperal Grolschmir of the Eagle Knights of Andoran!
17:52:59 <Avatar> yeah between the two of you, you can't really play any campaigns together that I can run
17:53:25 <MekkisScreen> shades of ice II?
17:54:09 <Avatar> I haven't really prepared shades of ice 2
17:54:15 <Avatar> considering that I thought we would run shades of ice 1 first
17:54:23 <Brunius> I've played one!
17:54:27 <Brunius> Have you, Mekkis?
17:54:34 <Avatar> no, he's been waiting for me to run it since forever
17:54:38 <MekkisScreen> and Avatar, THIS is why you should go to more cons, or play with other groups
17:54:40 <Avatar> since conquest
17:54:51 <MekkisScreen> or have I?
17:54:54 Eidren ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
17:54:54 <Avatar> I've gone to every single con since arcanacon
17:55:14 <Avatar> what do you mean, or have you
17:55:23 <Avatar> are you going to play it without credit
17:55:35 <MekkisScreen> I'm willing to
17:55:56 Ballig has quit (Quit: )
17:56:25 <Brunius> I suppose I could run Derau through Shades of Ice 1....
17:57:00 <MekkisScreen> and I nightmare...
17:58:15 <Avatar> Brunius: still no credit
17:58:34 <Brunius> Oh yeah.
17:58:37 <Brunius> Blast.
17:58:48 <Brunius> Um, hang on.
17:58:53 <Brunius> Is it a tier 1 scenario?
17:59:19 <Brunius> That is, does it have tier 1 available?
17:59:22 <Avatar> yeah
17:59:26 <Avatar> we uptiered at conquest
17:59:34 <Brunius> So you'd still get credit.
17:59:40 <Avatar> no?
17:59:43 <Brunius> Yeah.
17:59:46 <Avatar> no
17:59:56 <Brunius> As a DM you would.
18:00:01 <Avatar> oh, I still get credit
18:00:06 <Avatar> I get credit regardless of tier
18:00:18 <Brunius> Blargh.
18:00:27 <Brunius> Brain, Y U NO FUNCTION
18:02:17 <Avatar> I wonder how useful oil of silence would be
18:02:45 <Avatar> it's pretty cheap to turn me into a sniper for a whole hour
18:03:14 <MekkisScreen> probably not at all
18:03:43 <Avatar> why not
18:04:04 <MekkisScreen> sniping doesn't care how quiet you are
18:04:06 <Avatar> I guess there aren't that many skyscrapers
18:04:20 <Avatar> of course it does
18:04:25 <Avatar> they won't know what's shooting at them
18:04:46 <Avatar> not only would I get touch AC, I'd get them flatfooted as well !!!!!!
18:05:29 <Avatar> do you know there is a bullet that entangles
18:05:48 Ballig ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
18:06:05 <Avatar> DC 15 reflex save or you're entangled for 2d4 rounds
18:06:05 Ballig has quit (Quit: )
18:06:27 <Avatar> what was the reflex on darkest vengeance rogue
18:06:32 <Avatar> I might have been able to give that joker a run for his money
18:06:40 Ballig ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
18:06:46 <Avatar> I think I'd better buy one of those right now
18:07:27 <Avatar> oh wait I already have
18:07:29 <Avatar> good thinking tony
18:07:34 <Brunius> gg
18:07:54 <Brunius> You can sneak attack any time they are denied a dex bonus to AC, right?
18:08:01 <Avatar> correct
18:08:27 <Avatar> does entangling deny targets a dex bonus
18:08:32 <MekkisScreen> nope
18:08:50 <Brunius> I wonder why.
18:08:58 <Brunius> Doesn't make much sense, logic-wise.
18:09:14 <MekkisScreen> ranged sneak attacks are as rare as hen's teeth
18:09:23 <Brunius> That's not what I'm looking for.
18:09:32 <Brunius> And I'm fairly sure you've said that exact sentence before.
18:09:47 <MekkisScreen> but Avatar, I did end up playing Shades of Ice 1 at paizocon
18:09:58 <Avatar> good one
18:10:03 <MekkisScreen> Brunius: that doesn't make it less true
18:10:07 <Avatar> why would you do that
18:10:29 <MekkisScreen> becuase it was the only thing they were running that I hadn't played before
18:10:38 <Avatar> mmmmk
18:11:02 <Avatar> little known fact: raise dead doesn't work on someone killed by a death effect
18:11:37 <Brunius> That's nice.
18:12:55 <Avatar> entangled creatures move at half speed, can't run/charge, take a -2 penalty to attack rolls, take a -4 penalty to dex and have to make a DC 15 + spell level concentration check to cast spells
18:13:00 <MekkisScreen> little known fact: Osirions can get raised from the dead for less PA than other factions
18:13:11 <Avatar> really
18:13:12 <Ballig> how
18:13:31 <MekkisScreen> faction guide
18:13:41 <MekkisScreen> you become a Risen Guard
18:13:50 <Avatar> what?
18:13:51 <Avatar> how
18:13:53 <Ballig> there are faction guides?
18:13:58 <Brunius> Yeah.
18:14:01 <Brunius> Didn't you know this?
18:14:03 <MekkisScreen> sorry, field guide
18:14:07 <Avatar> Brunius: you didn't either until just now
18:14:21 <MekkisScreen> (faction guide is a different book)
18:14:32 <Brunius> I knew, Avatar.
18:14:38 <Avatar> you didn't know until just now
18:14:45 <Brunius> Pathfinder Player Companion: Andoran, Spirit of Liberty
18:14:48 <Brunius> Pathfinder Player Companion: Cheliax, Empire of Devils
18:15:01 <Brunius> Pathfinder Player Companion: Osirion, Land of Pharaohs
18:15:01 <Avatar> you didn't know about Risen Guard
18:15:06 <Brunius> Pathfinder Player Companion: Qadira, Gateway to the East
18:15:09 <MekkisScreen> Brunius: it's actually in the field guide
18:15:16 <Brunius> Not about the Risen Guard.
18:15:22 <Brunius> I was referring to Ballig.
18:15:28 <Brunius> Pathfinder Player Companion: Taldor, Echoes of Glory
18:15:34 <Brunius> Just to complete the set.
18:15:35 <MekkisScreen> there's also a book called the "Faction Guide"
18:15:48 <Brunius> That, too.
18:16:34 <MekkisScreen> Pathfinder Player Companion: Lantern Lodge, Corporate Communists
18:17:33 <Brunius> Communists? Sounds good to me.
18:17:45 <Avatar> grand lodge's prestige awards are garbage
18:17:55 <MekkisScreen> Brunius: they're as communist as China is
18:18:04 <MekkisScreen> Avatar: grand lodge is garbage
18:18:15 <Avatar> I think I took it because it gave me a sweet trait
18:18:16 <MekkisScreen> it's the faction for people who don't care
18:18:16 <Brunius> Man.
18:18:20 <Avatar> I don't care
18:18:23 <Avatar> Buck certainly doesn't
18:18:51 <MekkisScreen> I'd have thought Buck as a Scarzi or however you spell it
18:19:06 <Avatar> probably
18:19:20 <Avatar> he doesn't care more
18:19:37 <Avatar> all he cares about is his gun and his good buddy Dobs
18:19:50 <Brunius> You used to be able to get one xp for each faction, right?
18:19:57 <MekkisScreen> Ballig: considered getting a figurine of wonderous power as a mount?
18:20:00 <Avatar> yeah
18:20:37 <Brunius> You can't get magic items except for chronicle sheets, right?
18:20:48 <Ballig> I haven't looked at it
18:20:51 <Ballig> been working on my chronicle sheet generator
18:20:52 <MekkisScreen> incorrect, Ballig
18:20:57 <MekkisScreen> Brunius*
18:20:58 <Avatar> you can buy an imp with cheliax
18:21:02 <Avatar> that lasts 1 session
18:21:14 <MekkisScreen> just take levels in Diabolist :)
18:21:15 <Avatar> actually I'm not sure that's worth it
18:21:23 <Brunius> Diabolist?
18:21:24 <Avatar> 5 PP for sometihng that lasts only a session
18:21:50 <MekkisScreen> Brunius: a prestige class
18:21:53 <Avatar> jesus, lantern lodge can buy exotic weapon proficiency for 5 PP
18:21:57 <MekkisScreen> it gives you a familiar
18:22:01 <Brunius> Really, Avatar?
18:22:10 <Avatar> yeah!
18:22:15 <Brunius> Huh.
18:22:24 <Avatar> it doesn't say you can take it more than once
18:22:26 <MekkisScreen> you guys are such munchkins
18:22:42 <Avatar> this is pretty much part of character creation man
18:22:45 <Avatar> how did we not see it before
18:22:52 <Avatar> no other source mentions it
18:23:14 <MekkisScreen> no it isn't
18:23:17 <Brunius> Mekkis, I see these things, and I go "Huh, cool" then completely ignore it.
18:23:22 <MekkisScreen> character creation should start with a concept
18:23:46 <MekkisScreen> Avatar choosing a faction based on its traits....
18:24:03 <Brunius> Unless Avatar's concept is "POWERGAME TO DA MAX"
18:24:22 <Ballig> what can you buy with taldor
18:24:27 <Brunius> No idea.
18:24:30 <Brunius> Haven't checked.
18:24:44 <Brunius> Care to mention how I can check?
18:24:50 <Ballig> I dunno?
18:24:53 <Ballig> how are you checking the others
18:24:54 <MekkisScreen> it's one thing to try to powergame to the max
18:25:01 <Brunius> I'm not.
18:25:18 <MekkisScreen> it's another thing to completely disregard concept and flavour and environment in the process
18:25:42 <Brunius> I reckon I'll make a ranger.
18:25:58 <Brunius> Another character to have never played.
18:26:06 <MekkisScreen> I should make a paladin
18:26:41 <Avatar> with respect, I usually die more than anyone else here
18:26:51 <Brunius> So?
18:26:52 <Avatar> so yes, forgive me for powering my game a little
18:27:03 <MekkisScreen> Avatar: it's one thing to discard flavour in order to powergame
18:27:03 <Brunius> Did Cairo die?
18:27:11 <Avatar> I think Buck has plenty of flavour
18:27:17 <Avatar> Cairo became useless
18:27:20 <MekkisScreen> internally, yes
18:27:23 <Avatar> Roger died
18:27:37 <Brunius> So one death out of the how many characters played in here?
18:27:40 <MekkisScreen> but where did Buck come from?
18:27:56 <Avatar> Buck came from me wanting to find a character who could blow things up
18:27:56 <MekkisScreen> how was he raised
18:28:15 <MekkisScreen> what does he hold dear to?
18:28:20 <MekkisScreen> whatare his aspirations?
18:28:21 <Brunius> Where was he raised?
18:28:24 <MekkisScreen> (and why?)
18:28:30 <Avatar> that is all garbage I don't care about
18:28:39 <Avatar> that doesn't mean he has no character
18:28:59 <Avatar> I don't have to flesh out a full history for him before you can say I'm not munchkinning
18:29:10 <Avatar> he has a clear character concept
18:29:21 <Avatar> even if the faction isn't a big part of it, at all
18:31:00 <MekkisScreen> why did he choose to join the Pathfinder Society
18:31:11 <Avatar> garbage I don't care about
18:31:12 <Avatar> he joined
18:31:19 <MekkisScreen> what was his family's reaction to him becoming a Pathfinder?
18:31:36 <MekkisScreen> who was the first Venture Captain he met?
18:31:36 <Avatar> I care more about the present than the past
18:31:42 <Brunius> Does Buck?
18:31:49 <Avatar> does buck what
18:32:03 <MekkisScreen> Does he hold any grievences against the Pathfinder Society?
18:32:13 <Avatar> no
18:32:15 <MekkisScreen> What is his greatest fear?
18:32:19 <Avatar> he has none
18:32:27 <Avatar> not beign able to fire a gun
18:32:41 <MekkisScreen> what creature would he fear most?
18:32:41 <Avatar> maybe having to swim
18:32:50 <Avatar> he has none in mind that he would fear most
18:33:06 <Avatar> he doesn't have innate fears
18:33:08 <MekkisScreen> when targetted by /Phantasmal Killer/, what would he see?
18:33:26 <Avatar> generic harmful illusions
18:33:34 <MekkisScreen> bullshit
18:33:43 <Avatar> it's my character
18:34:19 <Avatar> you can't dictate that I should flesh all this stuff out if I don't want to
18:34:28 <Avatar> all of my characters have some sort of flavour
18:34:32 <Avatar> that's all I want in my roleplaying
18:34:56 <Avatar> I care a whole hell of a lot more about personality and destiny than I do history, with a few exceptions where it's called for
18:35:01 <Avatar> usually it's not
18:35:56 <MekkisScreen> for him to exist in Golarion, he needs to have been born /somewhere/
18:36:15 <Avatar> and he has been born /somewhere/
18:36:23 <Avatar> but defining where isn't really important
18:36:26 <MekkisScreen> where?
18:36:35 <Avatar> he was born somewhere in Golarion
18:37:00 <Brunius> He doesn't know about his childhood.
18:37:06 <Avatar> yes he does
18:37:09 <Avatar> why wouldn't he
18:37:19 <MekkisScreen> by defining that, you can save a lot of time explaining in-game
18:37:25 <Brunius> Because if he doesn't, then Mekkis will stop asking you questions about it.
18:37:37 <Avatar> he can ask whatever he likes
18:37:51 <Avatar> Mekkis: I'd rather explain in-game, if it ever comes to that
18:38:19 <MekkisScreen> Avatar: how about Alkenstar
18:38:28 <Avatar> what's Alkenstar
18:38:30 <MekkisScreen> http://pathfinder.wikia.com/wiki/Alkenstar
18:38:41 <Avatar> what, for where I was born
18:38:44 <Avatar> no that's not important
18:38:48 <MekkisScreen> or at least brought u[
18:38:50 <MekkisScreen> up*
18:38:51 <Avatar> born somewhere in Golarion
18:38:56 <Avatar> you don't need to define it
18:39:54 <MekkisScreen> what racial ethnicity is he?
18:40:09 <Avatar> he's caucasian
18:40:42 <Avatar> generally all my characters are caucasian unless otherwise mentioned on my sheet
18:41:04 <MekkisScreen> so you'd have Taldan heritage
18:41:27 <Avatar> is that the only place that has caucasians
18:41:39 <MekkisScreen> pretty much
18:41:48 <Avatar> then I guess all my characters have taldan heritage
18:42:18 <Avatar> that's not defined, so there can really be any kind of exception to that that I want
18:42:56 <Brunius> Maybe the taldan govt is pissed at your ancestors
18:42:59 <Brunius> wants them all dead
18:43:42 <Avatar> that's not defined
18:44:52 <MekkisScreen> Brunius: the Taldan government doesn't really care
18:45:28 <MekkisScreen> the Cheliaxians and the Andorans both broke away from Taldor, and the Taldan government didn't bat an eye
18:45:53 <Brunius> Dammit Mekkis, stop pulling my arguements apart.
18:46:06 <Brunius> I liked them in one piece!
18:46:11 <MekkisScreen> Brunius: if you read more canon, you'd be able to do the same
18:46:20 <MekkisScreen> to Avatar... who doesn't read it :)
18:46:39 <Avatar> and who doesn't care
18:49:01 <Brunius> Mekkis, wanna send me more canon to read?
18:49:24 <Avatar> is that the canon that gets you exp
18:49:39 <MekkisScreen> it gets your boons
18:49:51 <MekkisScreen> (remember what I said about the novels...)
18:49:52 <Avatar> good enough
18:49:56 <Avatar> how does anyone know if you've read it or not
18:50:26 <MekkisScreen> by having a conversation with you
18:50:30 <MekkisScreen> like this one
18:50:35 <Avatar> but I mean
18:50:39 <Avatar> nobody needs to check it for you to get exp?
18:50:51 <MekkisScreen> so, Brunius
18:50:56 <MekkisScreen> tell me about Derau
18:51:02 <MekkisScreen> Where was he born?
18:51:06 <MekkisScreen> and raised
18:52:10 <Brunius> Backwaters of your face, raised in the frontwaters.
18:54:24 <MekkisScreen> why did he join the Society?
18:55:57 <Brunius> For the treasure, and to gain his parent's approval
18:56:05 <Brunius> (He wasn't very good as a miner in his home)
18:56:10 <Ballig> I read a novel, how do I claim my exp
18:56:24 <Brunius> Send me your bank details Ballig
18:56:29 <Brunius> I'll make sure you get your XP
18:56:32 <Ballig> you can't bank transfer exp
18:56:40 <Avatar> bit of a rip
18:56:42 <Brunius> Are you sure?
18:57:41 <Brunius> Did I mention one of the year 12s got kicked out today?
18:57:46 <Ballig> you realise you can't use my bank details to take money FROM me, right
18:57:54 <Brunius> And that when we got to school all our lockers were cable tied shut.
18:58:02 <Brunius> Credit card details, then.
18:58:07 <Ballig> ha
18:58:53 <Brunius> Nobody did anything crazy today, except for that.
18:58:57 <Brunius> I am dissapoint.
19:00:28 <Avatar> is that kind of thing a regular occurence
19:13:09 <Brunius> Nope.
19:13:16 <Brunius> The year 12s are leaving.
19:13:22 <Brunius> This was their last "proper" day.
19:13:27 <Brunius> Monday is practise exams
19:13:39 <Brunius> Then they're gone until late November, I think.
19:14:08 <Brunius> Someone chucked a water bomb at us during lunchtime.
19:14:17 <Brunius> (Missed abysmally)
19:21:09 <Brunius> Should I get the Bestiary?
19:21:15 <Avatar> yeah
19:21:21 <Avatar> so that when you get my tengu sheet, you can play it
19:21:50 <Brunius> Fuck that.
19:21:54 <Avatar> haha
19:27:12 <Brunius> Anyone wanna get 15 pounds of stuff off Amazon?
19:27:27 <Brunius> I mean pounds as in british pounds, the currency.
19:28:42 <Ballig> are you coming on to us
19:29:09 <Ballig> Mekkis: how do I get my exp
19:29:14 <Brunius> What?
19:33:22 <Ballig> my exp
19:33:23 <Ballig> how do I get it
19:50:09 <Ballig> Brunius: do you have any consoles

20:02:21 Ballig1 is now known as Ballig
20:21:19 <Avatar> Mekkis: what happens if you buy more than 7 items during a scenario
20:23:17 <Avatar> I always buy that grappling hook but there never seems to be a use for it
20:23:31 <Avatar> next scenario I will be scaling a roof
20:26:03 <Ballig> you could have scaled a roof last scenario
20:26:16 <Avatar> yeah I didn't think of it then
20:35:48 <Brunius> I have a wii, why?
20:36:43 <Avatar> sorry ?
20:37:27 <Ballig> that doesn't help me
20:38:03 <Brunius> What?
20:38:26 <Ballig> I already have a wii
20:38:33 <Avatar> what are you trying to do
20:38:43 <Ballig> rip someone off for a ps3
20:39:18 <Avatar> brunius needs some $ he might go for that
20:39:40 <Brunius> I don't have a ps3
20:39:45 <Brunius> Why do you want a ps3?
20:39:53 <Avatar> I bet you wish you do now
20:40:06 <Avatar> you could sell it to ballig for some coin
20:40:16 <Brunius> No.
20:40:20 <Brunius> PS3s suck.
20:40:24 <Ballig> dark souls seemed like an interesting game
20:40:26 <Avatar> yeah
20:40:31 <Ballig> but I don't want to pay $300+ for a ps3
20:40:32 <Avatar> if I were you I would be trying to sell him your wii
20:40:49 <Brunius> It's not wholly mine.
20:40:56 <Avatar> even better
20:40:59 <Ballig> I'll give you $275 for it
20:41:08 <Avatar> see
20:41:17 <Ballig> what do you say
20:41:31 <Avatar> think quick brunius
20:42:08 <Ballig> Brunius: $275 for your wii
20:43:14 <Brunius> Sure. Wanna come down and collect it?
20:43:40 <Ballig> why can't you mail it
20:43:58 <Brunius> Ok. You've got my bank details, transfer the money and I'll mail it on monday.
20:44:02 <Ballig> ha
20:44:07 <Ballig> how long did it take you to check the price of brand new wiis
20:44:14 <Brunius> I've known it for a while.
20:44:19 <Brunius> $175 IIRC
20:44:35 <Ballig> too bad ps3 prices haven't dropped too
20:44:50 <Avatar> METROID on wii is pretty good
20:44:57 <Avatar> other M, not the prime ones
20:44:57 <Brunius> ffs not this again
20:45:04 <Avatar> what
20:45:25 <Brunius> You and metroid.
20:45:31 <Avatar> what about me and metroid
20:45:37 <Ballig> yay, firefox crashed
20:45:45 <Brunius> HA
20:45:55 <Avatar> ???
20:45:58 <Ballig> it's been doing that a lot lately
20:46:03 <Brunius> You don't remember giving me this lecture like 5 days ago, Avatar?
20:47:22 <Avatar> no
20:47:26 <Avatar> let's bring out the logs
20:47:30 <Brunius> Man.
20:47:31 <Avatar> I haven't talked about in months at least
20:47:35 <Avatar> at LEAST
20:47:36 <Brunius> Work on your memory.
20:47:41 <Avatar> no you are trying to trick me
20:47:43 <Avatar> let's bring out the logs
20:47:48 <Avatar> show me where we talked about this
20:48:43 <Avatar> well ?
20:48:50 <Brunius> I'm looking man
20:48:58 <Avatar> yeah well you look
20:49:05 <Brunius> cbf faking logs
20:49:14 <Avatar> faking
20:49:18 <Avatar> well shit
20:49:20 <Brunius> yeah, faking
20:49:34 <Avatar> I don't have time for this man
20:49:59 <Ballig> yeah you do
20:50:07 <Ballig> what else are you doing that is so important
20:50:09 <Avatar> I got things to do and places to be
20:50:58 <Brunius> On a Friday night, when you were considering DMing a game of PFS?
20:51:16 <Brunius> Avatar, has Buck played Assualt on Kingdom Impossible?
20:51:26 <Avatar> no but Mellon has
20:51:31 <Avatar> you were there I believe
20:51:34 <Brunius> Blasted new rules on XP
20:51:46 <Brunius> Begone with ye!
20:52:34 <Brunius> Maybe they just instituted them to get people to buy the new modules.

20:55:12 <Avatar> game in 16 hours
20:55:57 <Ballig> why is it so late
20:56:12 <Avatar> don't know, mekkis wants it then
20:56:24 <Avatar> the foreigners don't seem fussed
20:56:33 <canine> heyhey
20:56:47 <canine> I have exactly 4 minutes before I have to leave.
20:57:06 <Avatar> and exactly 16 hours before you have to be back here
20:57:11 <canine> mh
20:57:12 <canine> mhm
20:57:16 <Brunius> 2:30pm.
20:57:22 <Brunius> Won't that go until like 9?
20:57:24 <Avatar> oh, 2.30
20:57:27 <Avatar> when did that change
20:57:37 <Brunius> I dunno
20:57:43 <Brunius> That's what it's marked as in the topic
20:58:08 <Avatar> ballig did you break it
20:58:15 <Ballig> break what
20:58:23 <Ballig> I might have?
20:58:30 <Avatar> wasn't it 2pm
20:58:39 <canine> as of last night it was
20:58:41 <canine> i.e. this morning.
20:58:45 <canine> or however it works.
20:58:51 <canine> timezones irritate me
20:58:55 <Ballig> [9:26:35 PM] * Avatar changes topic to 'PFS: Sat 22nd 2.30pm (Mekkis) |LSK: Sat 22nd Oct 7pm || All times AEDT (UTC+11:00), CONFIRM YOUR ATTENDANCE by the Friday before! || EM: Sat 2pm | CotE: Sun 3.30pm'
20:59:09 <canine> And gotta run, later all
20:59:15 <Avatar> maybe you are faking logs
20:59:21 <Avatar> you're all against me
21:01:13 <Brunius> Looks legit to me.
21:02:25 <Ballig> I might buy a levels 3-7 scenario
21:03:24 canine has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
21:03:43 <Brunius> Run it tomorro
21:03:50 <Brunius> Just to exclude Buck
21:04:01 <Ballig> do we even have four level 3-7 characters
21:04:40 <Brunius> There's Kaleb.
21:04:44 <Brunius> Cairo.
21:04:55 <Brunius> I'm sure Mekkis has a character.
21:07:12 <Ballig> isn't cairo dead
21:08:08 <Brunius> Not to my knowledge.
21:08:13 <Brunius> Apparently just "Useless"
21:10:44 <Ballig> Avatar: is Cairo useless or dead

21:28:13 <Brunius> <canine> this new desktop manager I'm using has a world clock function so I can add clocks for multiple timezones.
21:30:49 <Brunius> Pretty conclusive, aye?
21:37:54 <Avatar> useless
21:38:19 <Avatar> I've sort of retired him, but I'll bring out of retirement if absolutely need be
21:38:29 <Avatar> bring him*
21:39:47 <Ballig> why is he useless
21:40:20 <Avatar> he can't hit anything
21:40:29 <Avatar> he is a good healer
21:40:36 <Avatar> but that's about all he does he well
21:40:49 <Avatar> solid perception too
21:41:23 <Ballig> what else is he meant to do
21:41:31 <Avatar> hit things
21:41:33 <Ballig> Derau has a -2 to attack and hits
21:41:42 <Avatar> and tank
21:41:49 <Ballig> tanking is a matter of AC
21:41:53 <Ballig> which is mostly a matter of equipment
21:41:55 <Avatar> -2
21:41:57 <Avatar> that's not right
21:42:00 <Ballig> it is right
21:42:03 <Ballig> Derau has a -2 to attack
21:42:20 <Avatar> that's with his waraxe
21:42:24 <Ballig> what about it
21:42:28 <Avatar> he gets two attacks with it doesn't he
21:42:32 <Avatar> is that how he has -2
21:42:32 <Ballig> no
21:42:38 <Avatar> why -2 then
21:42:42 <Ballig> low strength
21:42:45 <Avatar> 13 str
21:42:52 <Ballig> maybe it's oversized?
21:42:54 <Ballig> I don't know
21:42:58 <Ballig> he was definitely using -2 to attack with it
21:43:01 <Avatar> he's a dwarf
21:43:27 <Avatar> does cold iron give a penalty
21:43:43 <Ballig> don't think so
21:43:55 <Avatar> where did brunius go
21:44:08 <Ballig> might be exotic
21:44:12 <Ballig> so non-proficiency gives him -4
21:47:03 <Brunius> Yeah
21:47:15 <Brunius> It would be +2 except for non-proficiency
21:47:21 <Brunius> Is that only for exotic?
21:47:24 <Brunius> It's martial
21:47:30 <Brunius> I thought it was -4 for both
21:47:35 <Avatar> I think you're proficient with it because you're a dwarf ?
21:47:40 <Brunius> Nuh.
21:47:40 <Avatar> it's a dwarven waraxe
21:47:46 <Avatar> are you sure
21:47:53 <Brunius> Dwarfs get martial with it instead of exotic
21:48:40 <Avatar> and clerics aren't proficient with martial weaps
21:48:43 <Ballig> right
21:49:05 <Avatar> are you taking a class of something later or should you be getting another rweapon
21:49:42 <Brunius> Wait, Clerics can't get martial weapon proficiency?
21:49:56 <Brunius> (Just to note, I'm planning to use my morningstar primarily from now on)
21:49:59 <Avatar> they can take it as a feat
21:50:04 <Avatar> but they dont' get it as a class feature
21:50:06 <Avatar> anymore
21:50:09 <Avatar> I think in 3.5 they did
21:50:14 <Ballig> yeah
21:50:20 <Avatar> I remember having this conversation when I made Cairo
21:50:22 <Ballig> they got martial weapons and heavy armour in 3.5
21:50:24 <Ballig> now they don't
21:50:55 <Brunius> I'll take it as a feat
21:51:00 <Avatar> you're better off taking a level of fighter probably
21:51:25 <Avatar> probably not
21:51:27 <Avatar> burns your spell list a bit
21:53:09 <Ballig> I got some more chronicle sheets but I can't be bothered working on them tonight
21:56:47 <Brunius> Shouldn't you be able to set a default location for everything?
21:57:21 <Ballig> half of them are formatted differently
