57:07 Roach is now known as Roachawaaaay
59:43 NeTiZiN has quit (Quit: —I-n-v-i-s-i-o-n— 3.2 (July '10))

16:43 Roach ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
16:48 <Roach> Argh
37:00 * Roach fidgets
38:31 <Roach> Anyone in?
47:34 Ballig ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
47:42 <Roach> Hi there
48:47 * Roach pokes Ballig
49:11 <Ballig> hm?
49:17 <Roach> Hello
49:23 <Ballig> hello
49:31 <Roach> Finally, someone is on
49:36 <Ballig> it's like 6.50am :p
49:46 <Roach> 2:50 om here
49:47 <Roach> pm*
49:57 <Roach> darn rope-burn ruins my spelling.
50:56 <Roach> but yeah, a yank is on the chat, pay no heed to where I am.
51:56 <Ballig> we get americans and canadians in here
52:09 <Roach> ah
52:21 <Roach> Texan, actually
52:21 <Ballig> Nodwik is canadian
52:30 <Roach> living in a barn, with three horses.
52:38 <Roach> One of them is the cause of the painful rope-burn actually.
52:57 <Ballig> sounds obscene
52:58 <Roach> I'm new here, I just make a character?
53:10 <Ballig> what's your experience like
53:13 <Roach> Nah. let me copy-paste what I said before
53:49 <Roach> I've played several campaigns, and I've made many characters, I usually use PF chargen even if the DM is using 3.5 stuff (And I, as a player, can't really tell the difference)
54:29 <Roach> I like to houserule, but if I do, I ask the DM first, and leave the hourserules in the notes on the bottom of the sheet.
55:24 <Roach> (And i've made some pretty crazy characters, like a cleric/sorceror gestalt with different modifiers for wisdom and charisma, so I can slog through mechanics well enough)
55:46 <Roach> I trust that is enough? Never played one of these 'living campaigns' though
56:00 <Roach> Though I normally play DnD over IRC
58:42 <Ballig> we are mostly playing pathfinder society at the moment, ever played it?
59:04 <Roach> no, but I am in a game using the SerpentsSkull campaign path
59:08 <Roach> so I have heard of it
59:16 <Roach> (in fact, my char is a monk for them)
59:56 <Ballig> it's basically the competition/convention play version of pathfinder
59:58 <Roach> I've got the PF Society book, actually, on my hard drive
00:08 <Roach> ahhhhhhh
00:08 <Ballig> it uses the pathfinder rules, but sets some restrictions
00:08 <Ballig> so that anyone can DM it
00:24 <Roach> I thought you meant the pathfinder society, as in the in-game society that looks for stuff
00:47 <Ballig> in pathfinder society your character belongs to the pathfinder society
00:59 <Roach> :o?
01:35 <Ballig> your character is in the pathfinder society, and they send you on missions
01:40 <Ballig> so missions take 1-3 sessions to complete
02:00 <Roach> Let me link you to the char in question, even though it will NOT be used in this (I made her broken with a splatbook on purpose/DM was stupid enough to suggest the most broken bits)
02:05 <Roach> ah
02:31 <Roach> may I use tangledweb instead of your text sheet?
02:40 <Roach> I'm more used to it/neater
03:05 <Roach> http://www.thetangledweb.net/forums/profiler/view_char.php?cid=52688 <---- link to obscenely broken char
04:43 <Ballig> you can try, but it's up to the DM what s/he'll accept
05:00 <Roach> I'd have to make a different char for this, obviously, and I'd only use the PF society (in-game) as the only non-standard book
05:15 <Ballig> it'll be hard for pathfinder because the skills aren't the same
05:15 <Roach> yeah, I don't expect anyone to like that char
05:33 <Roach> pathfinder, well, I prefer the way they do skills, honestly
06:07 <Roach> I prefer their chargen in general, otherwise, I don't really see the difference between the systems other than some tweaking :P
09:04 <Ballig> anyway, quickest way to get into a game with us is to make a pathfinder society character
09:09 <Ballig> get the pathfinder society rulebook for free from paizo.com
09:17 <Ballig> it gives you the limitations on character creation and playing
09:31 <Roach> ah, didn't realize it was free
09:32 <Ballig> basically you get 1 experience for each mission you complete, and you need 3 experience to level
09:41 <Roach> ahhhhh
09:52 <Roach> much simpler and easier, as long as missions are around the same
09:55 <Roach> relativly
10:28 <Roach> getting the pdf
10:29 <Avatar> Roach: http://dnd.ballig.net/newbie_guide.htm
10:40 <Ballig> he's seen it
10:46 <Avatar> yeah what did he think of it
11:16 <Roach> I'd rather use the tangledweb or mythweavers charsheets, other than that looks good
11:51 <Avatar> what's wrong with the text based ones
12:44 <Ballig> Roach: http://dnd.ballig.net/viewchar.php5?char=269
13:10 <Roach> I'm more used to stuff like tangledweb, honestly.
13:39 <Roach> I prefer the familiar, after all
13:56 <Ballig> only takes a few weeks to become familiar with something
16:05 <Roach> Eh.
17:51 <Ballig> the problem you will run into is that the DM may insist you have a character sheet in a format they are familiar with :p
18:06 <Roach> herh.
18:32 <Ballig> you'll probably find Mekkis is likely to be the most lenient in that regard
19:03 <Ballig> as long as the format has the proper pathfinder skills on it
20:28 <Roach> if they aren't, I just type em in on the bottom (Honestly, most of the time I have to do that)
21:06 <Roach> Either that, or my skills that I put points into are the only ones on there
24:58 * Roach shrugs
25:09 <Roach> still waiting on the download of the convention rules to use
26:04 <Roach> Ugh.
26:10 <Roach> My computer isn't cooperating with those rules.
27:30 <Roach> Okay, well, that officially got me nowhere. Can someone Mediafire that pathfinder society rules to me?
27:55 <Roach> And I'll just try that text sheet, see how that works out.
28:55 * Roach pokes Ballig
29:02 <Avatar> it sends you a watermarked document
29:30 <Avatar> what do you mean it isn't cooperating
30:05 <Roach> it won't show that it has downloaded at all.
30:08 <Roach> This often happens with my computer.
30:20 <Ballig> did you go to "my downloads"?
30:27 <Roach> yes.
31:02 <Roach> I tried like five times, doing things a little different each time, to no avail.
32:02 <Avatar> when you go here: http://paizo.com/pathfinderSociety/scenarios/v5748btpy84k4
32:10 <Avatar> does it say up the top "You purchased this product" in red text
32:28 <Roach> yes.
32:31 <Roach> I went through all of that.
32:42 <Avatar> when you click on view order, does it show
32:43 <Roach> yes.
33:03 <Roach> it went all the way through to my downloads.
33:32 <Avatar> so it's downloaded but you don't know where to
33:45 <Roach> I ask for it to open the file when prompted. Then. Nothing.
33:54 <Avatar> what browser are you using
34:01 <Roach> IE.
34:18 <Avatar> do you have the option of opening the folder when it's done downloading
34:41 <Avatar> the filename is PZOPSS0000E.pdf
35:30 <Roach> k
35:39 <Roach> it doesn't show me the folder at all.
36:19 <Avatar> do a search for the file
36:25 <Roach> Ah. There.
37:25 <Roach> Done.
39:27 <Roach> Is there one I can watch, while I make my character? And do you guys frown upon monks?
42:20 <Ballig> in pathfinder society as long as it's legal for play (according to the pathfinder society rules), there is no frowning
43:54 <Roach> Okay
59:51 <Roach> Back
11:58 <Roach> Okay, got an account.
23:09 <Avatar> got a character name?
23:33 <Roach> Don't even have a character concept just yet
23:41 <Roach> I'd like to watch a session before making a character, honestly
23:52 <Roach> Maybe just call it Character 1
23:53 <Roach>  :p
31:27 <Avatar> your character will have a better name than Character 1
53:27 <Roach> yes, my char will
53:35 <Roach> then again, I don't even have a char concept just yet
53:41 <Roach> so yeah
58:02 <Avatar> a much better name
58:17 <Avatar> Character 1, god
58:27 <Roach> XD
58:52 <Avatar> even if you don't want to create a character and just use a pregenerated one, you still need a name
59:04 <Avatar> if you don
59:05 <Roach> yeah
59:08 <Roach> Hmmm
59:09 <Avatar> 't pick one I will just give you one !
59:10 <Roach> Taylor
59:18 <Roach> That will be the character name
59:23 <Roach> nice and generic
59:33 <Roach> so I can honestly make any sort of char I want with it :p
59:34 <Avatar> yep solid name
59:52 <Avatar> added to the site, you can upload your sheet once you've started
59:58 <Roach> k
00:40 <Roach> I'll get started on it tomorrow most likely
00:40 <Avatar> I had my goddamn stove on all night
00:41 <Roach> what level should I make my character?
00:42 <Roach> level 1?
00:43 <Avatar> level 1
00:52 <Roach> :o
00:52 <Avatar> follow the steps in the PFS guide
00:52 <Avatar> on chapter 2
00:55 <Roach> the suck level one characters!
01:02 <Avatar> everyone starts at level 1
01:03 <Roach>  :p
01:04 <Avatar> did you read the newbie guide
01:33 <Avatar> wade through the advice section on the bottom
01:38 <Roach> yes
01:39 <Roach> I already have CA
01:45 <Avatar> yeah the advice section
02:23 <Avatar> you'll be screaming if you don't take a cursory glance at it until later
02:56 <Avatar> but while you do up your character, the steps in chapter 2 of the PFS guide are super specific
03:30 <Roach> ah
04:20 Avatar- ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
05:31 * Roach will probably get all this done tomorrow, he isn't in any real hurry
05:51 * Avatar thinks that's probably okay
05:51 <Roach> Okay
18:43 <Avatar-> I'm going to put a link to that newbie guide on the site today
20:22 <Roach> okay
29:58 <Roach> :v
31:57 * Roach pokes Avatar-
32:12 <Avatar-> ?
32:31 <Avatar-> what
32:31 <Roach> :v
32:38 <Roach> The_Enemy reporting
32:46 <Avatar-> oh is that you
32:48 <Roach> Sorry, I just wanted to say that
32:57 <Roach> yes, it is
33:10 <Avatar-> haha
33:11 <Roach> After I said so twice in another chat with you in it
33:11 <Roach>  :p
33:11 <Avatar-> that explains a lot
33:21 <Avatar-> I'm on my phone
33:31 * Roach is a bit crazy, and thinks of "eccentric" as a compliment
33:31 <Avatar-> I can only see one at a time
33:32 <Roach> ah
04:39 Roach is now known as Roachaway
13:49 Crimson_Star ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
19:51 <Avatar-> crimson star
20:00 <Avatar-> roll up a character !!
20:00 <Crimson_Star> Hello.
20:49 <Crimson_Star> Any way I can see how all this works, before getting into it?
20:53 <Crimson_Star> <-- shdowhunt60
21:59 <Avatar-> course
22:16 <Avatar-> generally more fun to get straight into it, though
22:49 <Crimson_Star> Yeah, I understand.
23:01 Crimson_Star is now known as CS[AFK]
23:09 <Avatar-> why do you guys use different nicks between networks
23:25 <CS[AFK]> That's just something I do.
23:49 <CS[AFK]> Sometimes I go to other networks where I don't want to be remembered.
27:51 <Avatar-> righto
28:05 <Avatar-> I like being remembered
00:08 Roachaway is now known as Roach
00:11 <Roach> Finally back and all that
05:07 <Roach> Hmmm, not too comfortable with getting a PF Society number if all I'm going to do is play with those rules on this server. May I bypass that step Avatar-?
25:37 <Roach> Hello? Anyone?
33:07 <Avatar-> no, it's organised play
33:40 <Roach> oh?
33:51 <Avatar-> basically if you don't register, nobody in the party can claim credit for that game
33:51 <Roach> so roll four d6 drop the lowest, then do racial modifiers?
33:51 <Roach> ah
33:55 <Avatar-> why don't you want a number
34:04 <Roach> I'm testing the water.
34:17 <Avatar-> it's 20 point buy
34:20 <Roach> I don't really want to register with anything big like that until I know if I really like it or not <.<;;
34:31 <Roach> Ah. So that gimps monks very very badly, then.
34:42 <Avatar-> it's not as big as it looks
34:55 <Avatar-> I'll register for you if you like
35:03 <Roach> Mostly because monks have to have three stats to be high to be useful, and they live and die by their stats, since they can't wear armor
35:18 <Roach> if you are going to require me to register, I'll do it myself.
35:26 <Avatar-> you can ignore the whole thing if you decide later you don't want to play anymore
35:38 <Avatar-> sorry chief, a necessary evil :p
35:59 <Avatar-> follow the links in the newbie guide to make it as painless as possible
36:12 <Roach> still have ti up
36:12 <Roach> it*
36:15 <Avatar-> the paizo site can be a nightmare to navigate
36:39 <Avatar-> I'm at work, which is why my replies are delayed
36:47 <Roach> ahh
39:48 <Roach> Just the default "I am with the explorers of the pathfinder society, rawr" is the grand lodge, correct?
40:51 Nodwik_sleeping_then_work has quit (EOF from client)
47:26 Nodwik_sleeping_then_work ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
50:29 <Avatar-> I think it's the most generic, yeah
50:58 <Roach> okay, that is what I'm goin with, since I have a character in another campaign running with them
51:03 <Avatar-> if you don't care about their cause, choose your traits first
51:05 <Roach> (Go with the familiar at first, at least)
51:17 <Avatar-> some of them have a faction pre-requisite
51:33 <Roach> yeah
52:04 Nodwik_sleeping_then_work is now known as Nodwik
53:05 <MekkisScreen> that's one option
53:47 <MekkisScreen> I would recommend choosing one of the original five factions, though
55:03 * Roach is currently playing DnD on another server, so somewhat unresponsive
57:55 <Avatar-> mekkis: I can never understand why
16:32 Topic for #d&d is: PFS: Sat 2.30pm (Mekkis) | LSK: Sat 19th 8.30pm || All times AEDT (UTC+11:00), CONFIRM YOUR ATTENDANCE by the Friday before! || EM: Sat 2pm | CotE: Sun 3.30pm
16:32 Topic for #d&d set by Avatar at Wed Nov  2 22:01:33 2011
48:16 Avatar- has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
49:40 Avatar- ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
54:52 <MekkisScreen> Avatar-: becuase most of the scenarios I'll be running will be season 0-2, without the new factions
55:19 <MekkisScreen> the only season 3 scenarios I've played are sewer dragons and frostfur
55:36 <MekkisScreen> and you've already played frostfur
55:53 <MekkisScreen> I might end up running sewer dragons, though
56:03 <MekkisScreen> (it's 3-7)
21:36 <Avatar-> but it's pfs
21:51 <MekkisScreen> o?
22:03 <MekkisScreen> so
22:04 <Avatar-> someone else might run a season 3 scenario
22:21 <Avatar-> especially over the course if the characters career
22:24 <Avatar-> tunnel
22:32 <Avatar-> of
23:07 <MekkisScreen> true
23:09 <MekkisScreen> still
23:33 <MekkisScreen> means that over half of the faction missions are irrelevant
23:58 <Avatar-> and I'm out of the tunnel
24:04 <MekkisScreen> and Grand Lodge doesn't mean "I'm with the society"
24:56 <MekkisScreen> it means, "I'm /devoted/ to furthering the goals and aims of the society, with little regard for my home, country, health or wellbeing"
25:02 <Avatar-> yeah but I'm trying to simplify for someone who really doesn't care to understand it
25:31 <Roach> currently playing a Grand Lodge society monkette
25:35 <Roach> Very broken monkette
25:37 <Roach> But FUN
25:41 CS[AFK] is now known as Crimson_Star
25:50 <Crimson_Star> Yeah, because the DM is a dumbass.
26:05 <Roach> Pretty much
26:14 <Roach> He asks me to stop using a whip that is 1d8+9 damage
26:29 <Avatar-> who is the dm
26:37 <Roach> so I go to using a Bag of Flames to do 1d8+1d6+11 damage, soon, he'll be begging for me to use the whip again
26:41 <Roach> Takeru, on a different server
26:42 <Crimson_Star> Takeru
26:45 <Crimson_Star> Ypi
26:51 <MekkisScreen> so start using a lance that's 3d6+39 damage
26:57 <Avatar-> I'm in the room
27:00 <Avatar-> I think
27:02 <Roach> its a level 5 game
27:12 <MekkisScreen> this is a level 5 character
27:12 <Roach> yes, Serpentsskull is the game room Avatar
27:14 <Avatar-> but his name is just GM
27:17 <Roach> yes
27:28 <MekkisScreen> that does 3d6+39
27:31 <Crimson_Star> Yeah, apparently he has to let everyone know.
27:47 <Roach> eh, I forgot I had Bag of Flames, honestly lol
35:43 <MekkisScreen> he doesn't like 5th level characters doing 1d8+9 damage?
35:51 <Roach> Nope
35:56 <MekkisScreen> what's wrong with him?
36:00 <Roach> especially if it has a +10 to hit, and can flurry
37:47 <Crimson_Star> I don't know. Maybe it has to do with how he's a bastard child who has asperger's. Maybe he ate chalk when he was little.
38:17 <Crimson_Star> The only solid conclusion I can come up with is that he's an idiot.
50:12 <Avatar-> mekkis, -R
50:46 <MekkisScreen> done
52:25 <MekkisScreen> mekkisscreen, that is
57:18 <MekkisScreen> or is he scared of large numbers of d6s
58:55 <Avatar-> not done
59:23 <MekkisScreen> now it is, sorry
15:47 Nodwik is now known as Nodwik_sleeping_then_work
14:26 <Roach> Night.

04:21 <Avatar> I have no idea what is the best way to ask admins for this kind of thing

26:50 <Avatar> then you can DM the scenario here
27:12 <Brunius> I can't get into here too often
27:24 <Brunius> Remember, my CPU melted?
27:44 <Ballig> didn't you get a new one
27:49 <Avatar> yeah a $15 one off ebay
30:51 <Brunius> Yeah, got one off ebay
30:55 <Brunius> hasn't arrived yet though
31:02 <Ballig> was it $15
31:14 <Brunius> What are they running at GG this Sunday, Avatar?
31:16 <Brunius> Do you know?
31:19 <Brunius> Dunno Ballig
31:22 <Avatar> no idea, why would I know
31:23 <Brunius> Dad organised it
31:23 <Ballig> how don't you know
31:38 <Avatar> I can harass darkwhite on google+ to find out if you want
31:40 <Avatar> since you're underage
31:57 <Avatar> not something I'd normally do but since google thinks you are too young to be social
32:03 <Avatar> I'll oblige
32:08 <Brunius> Probably legalities
32:17 <Brunius> I'll ring up later, or go in tomorrow
33:40 <Avatar> either way, pretty sweet you will get to DM for us
33:46 <Avatar> it's been a long time coming
33:54 <Brunius> I never said I would DM for you.
33:54 <Brunius> :P
33:57 <Avatar> why wouldn't you
34:00 <Avatar> don't you like experience points
34:10 <Brunius> Nah, I hate them
34:13 <Avatar> don't lie
34:18 <Brunius> Ok
34:21 <Brunius> I won't
34:28 <Avatar> so when are you DMing
34:31 <Avatar> week after next yeah
34:39 <Avatar> well, no next week I mean
34:42 <Brunius> I don't know man
34:50 <Brunius> Not the 20th, for sure.
34:58 <Avatar> okay we will figure something out
38:14 Brunius has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
24:47 <Avatar> I used a really awesome paper prototype program a while ago and now I've forgotten what it's called
24:48 <Avatar> boquost or something like that
29:31 <Ballig> what's an "awesome paper prototype program"
29:49 <Avatar> something like boquist
29:54 <Avatar> I can't remember its name
33:33 <Ballig> what is it meant to do/be
34:24 <Avatar> you draw makeshift windows and buttons and text 
34:33 <Avatar> so you know what the final product will look like when you code it
45:50 Brunius_Wii ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
46:18 <Brunius_Wii> Sup
47:04 <Ballig> wonder if I could get CA working on the wii
48:51 <Brunius_Wii> Maybe. You can't multitask on the Wii
50:35 <Avatar> you don't need to IRC on the wii
51:22 <Brunius_Wii> What, just get CA on here?
52:06 <Brunius_Wii> What would be the point?
52:22 <Avatar> dual screens
53:07 <Brunius_Wii> Heard of additional graphics cards?
54:12 <Avatar> maybe you don't have a second monitor
54:17 <Avatar> or don't want to get additional graphics cards
54:23 <Avatar> you can just use it on the wii after all
54:39 <Avatar> gotta start thinking with your wallet
56:16 <Brunius_Wii> Yeah, I guess. Consoles are pretty cheap.
56:31 <Ballig> you can connect three monitors to one graphics card
58:36 <Brunius_Wii> I wasn't sure if you could. It would have to be the right port, though, and that might get confusing for Avatar.
01:13 <Avatar> my machine only has 2 ports
01:27 <Avatar> well, this machine
01:29 <Ballig> you need a decent graphics card to connect 3 monitors to it
01:31 <Avatar> not sure what the other GPU has
01:37 <Avatar> maybe I should actually plug that in
01:46 <Avatar> but that requires a shutdown
01:49 <Brunius_Wii> Ha
02:19 <Brunius_Wii> brb changing to a computer
04:55 <Avatar> wait a minute, are you actually IRCing from your wii
06:11 Brunius ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
07:18 <Avatar> how did you get IRC on your wii
07:21 Brunius_Wii has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
08:28 <Brunius> o.0
08:40 <Brunius> I guess my exiting didn't quit it...
15:45 <Avatar> how did you say you got IRC onto your wii again
20:38 <Ballig> he used the browser
21:04 <Avatar> hmmmmmmmmm
09:12 Brunius has quit (Connection reset by peer)
31:47 <Avatar> what happens if people who, after playing PFS, don't want to get a character number
32:30 <Mekkis> it doesn't happen
33:10 <Avatar> really
33:17 <Mekkis> truly
33:18 <Avatar> what if they decide they don't want to play after all
33:38 <Mekkis> then I give them a number, and report it
33:54 <Avatar> you register for them
34:31 <Mekkis> no
34:41 <Avatar> what, a random number
34:48 <Mekkis> an event organiser can reserve PFS numbers
35:03 <Mekkis> on PFS cards, that have an activation code on them
35:28 <Mekkis> after I give them the number and the code, it's up to them to register, and the onus isn't on me
35:48 <Avatar> what if they never register
35:57 <Mekkis> that's not my department
36:10 <Avatar> so why don't we just do that all the time
36:17 <Avatar> seems more convenient than making curious newbies do it
36:31 <Mekkis> because they need to get the guide
36:48 <Mekkis> and creating an account on Paizo is the way of getting the guide
37:16 <Avatar> that's for an account, not to register your character
41:11 <Mekkis> it's the same number
45:37 <Avatar> okay
45:41 <Avatar> are you any good at making buttons
47:42 <Mekkis> what sort?
49:02 <Avatar> simple buttons that represent different skill levels
49:11 <Avatar> newbie, 3.5er, pathfinder, pathfinder societyer
49:15 <Mekkis> what for?
49:16 <Mekkis> oh
49:25 <Mekkis> graphical things?
49:32 <Mekkis> no... my graphics ability is shit
49:32 <Avatar> yeah graphic buttons
49:40 <Avatar> worse than mine?
49:50 <Mekkis> probably
49:54 <Avatar> okay
50:14 <Mekkis> how about you use pictures
51:27 <Mekkis> have a picture of a d6 for "newbie", a picture of a d20 for "3.5er", the pathfinder logo for "Pathfinder", and the faction symbol of the shadow lodge for "PFSer"
51:41 <Avatar> how willa nyone know what that means
51:57 <Mekkis> well you click on the symbol you're familiar with, right
52:25 <Avatar> I dunno man, I play PFS but I don't know what the shadow lodge looks like
52:31 <Mekkis> andoran then
52:41 <Mekkis> everyone recognises the sword bomber
52:43 <Avatar> and if I was new I'm not sure I would click a d6 to know that's what I'm meant to pick
10:43 <Mekkis> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d7/The.Pirate.Bay.Cartoon-small.png
59:03 <Mekkis> what's a good feat for an eidolon?
00:27 <Avatar> dodge
00:35 <Mekkis> why?
00:42 <Mekkis> have you seen their armour bonuses?
00:50 <Avatar> I reckon dodge/mobility/spring ball are some of the best feats in the gae
00:52 <Avatar> game*
01:04 <Avatar> spring ball? is that it
01:21 <Mekkis> spring ball?
01:27 <Avatar> spring attack
01:29 <Mekkis> spring attack?
01:31 <Avatar> sorry, got metroid on the mind
01:32 <Mekkis> why?
01:45 <Avatar> move in, attack, move out
01:51 <Avatar> potential +5 bonuses
01:53 <Avatar> minimum +1
01:55 <Avatar> how can you go wrong
02:08 <Avatar> shot on the run is also good
03:13 <Mekkis> ride-by attack?
03:25 <Avatar> well that brings mounts into it
03:26 <Mekkis> I actually think Combat reflexes is really good
03:45 <Avatar> yeah combat reflexes is good
03:51 <Mekkis> AoO in surprise round
04:18 <Avatar> was that always in there?
04:22 <Avatar> in 3.5
04:30 <Mekkis> not sure
04:38 <Avatar> I don't remember seeing that before
06:26 <Mekkis> Eldritch Claws
06:27 <Mekkis> heh
09:46 <Mekkis> ah
09:48 <Mekkis> Power Attack
09:52 <Mekkis> obviously :)
17:59 Nodwik_sleeping_then_work has quit (EOF from client)
