09:07:42 <Avatar> Mekkis: did you end up rescheduling the timeslot for saturday?
09:07:44 <Avatar> or sunday
10:10:09 <MekkisScreen> nope:people didn't turn up
10:10:20 <MekkisScreen> when are you available?

10:29:49 <Tashes> Ololol Dark Heresy.
10:30:09 <Tashes> the psyker rolled about four levels of overbleed on his 'prepare call item'. So he prepared ME, the assassin.
10:30:36 <Tashes> i found this out last night, when i was sneaking into a prison and BAM i'm on the other side of the planet with 8 new corruption points
11:06:40 <MekkisScreen> hmmm
11:26:59 <MekkisScreen> dark heresy is interesting
11:38:27 <MekkisScreen> but I dislike the universe
11:49:45 <Tashes> i dislike my dm, for anything except ridiculous
11:49:51 <Tashes> adn this campaign is plenty ridiculous.
11:49:52 <Avatar> Mekkis: no I mean, the coming saturday or sunday
11:50:06 <Avatar> do you have a new timeslot for it yet

14:46:17 Sachiru ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
14:54:41 <MekkisScreen> achiru
14:55:43 <MekkisScreen> sachiru
14:55:50 <MekkisScreen> how are you
14:56:10 <Sachiru> Fine, already on my last block for the CCNA.
14:56:26 <Sachiru> Oh, good thing you're here, mekkis.
14:56:39 <Sachiru> Would you agree that LA +2 is a good enough LA for a beguiler?
14:56:45 <Sachiru> Beguiler race, that is.
14:59:21 <MekkisScreen> no
14:59:45 <MekkisScreen> I don't agree in LA
15:01:11 <MekkisScreen> mainly because it doesn't work
15:01:34 <Sachiru> I see. Thanks!
15:01:44 <MekkisScreen> I'd consider LA of zero, and knock 10-15 points off the point buy
15:01:48 <MekkisScreen> why?
15:03:23 <Sachiru> Just curious.
15:04:24 <MekkisScreen> hmm... how's the CCNA going?
15:05:32 <Sachiru> Still cool. As of the moment, the exams are less about depth, and more about time pressure.
15:05:49 <Sachiru> Then again, it's CCNA, so it can't be considered as "deep", anyway. Thats what the CCNP is for.
15:06:29 <MekkisScreen> do you learn how to hook up cisco stuff to linksys stuff?
15:09:12 <Sachiru> Yes, we did that.
15:09:51 <Sachiru> The exam for that was hilarious. It was less about hooking up esoteric devices, and more about "how many linksys APs can we hook up in 15 minuts?"
15:10:10 <MekkisScreen> heh
15:10:53 <MekkisScreen> the beguiler has true seeing, and a climb speed
15:11:04 <MekkisScreen> they're the unbalanced things
15:12:53 <MekkisScreen> the other problem with a race like that is that if you're playing, say, a fighter, there's not much of an issue.
15:13:20 <MekkisScreen> The problem is when someone plays a rogue/wizard/unseen seer/arcane trickster
15:25:51 <MekkisScreen> Sachiru, how would you synchronise two inward-facing DNS servers?
15:26:17 <Sachiru> I would need to see their configuration first.
15:30:30 <MekkisScreen> one's using bind
15:30:45 <MekkisScreen> the other is using an earlier version of bind
15:41:50 <Sachiru> Ah, that is no longer covered in my course, sorry.
15:55:19 <Avatar> Mekkis: all weekend
15:55:27 <Avatar> any timeslot is fine with me
15:55:40 <Avatar> canine and brunius will be the toughest to cater to I think
16:22:02 <MekkisScreen> ok
16:22:31 <MekkisScreen> I want to run it as early as practical
16:23:09 <MekkisScreen> so put it at 9am on Saturday
16:23:21 <MekkisScreen> ummm
16:23:24 <MekkisScreen> 10am
16:23:29 <MekkisScreen> stupid DST
16:24:12 <Avatar> yeah that's best for me
16:24:18 <Avatar> and the others I think
16:24:27 <Avatar> `op
16:24:28 ChanOP gives channel operator status to Avatar
16:24:39 Avatar has changed the topic to: PFS: Sat 12th 10am (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
16:24:43 <MekkisScreen> that way you can run something later :)
16:24:51 <Avatar> I'll run something sunday morning most likely
16:24:59 <MekkisScreen> or we can get enought people for CoTE
16:25:27 <Avatar> how do we run PFS with CotE
16:25:30 <Avatar> without separate characters
16:25:35 <Avatar> can't I don't think?
16:28:38 Sachiru has quit (Quit: Shutting Down )
16:30:34 <MekkisScreen> I'll check
16:57:19 <Ballig> Avatar: you can use pregens
16:57:26 <Ballig> and then apply the chronicle sheet to one of your characters
17:07:00 <Mekkis> or you can delevel one of your characters to the requisite level
17:07:08 <Mekkis> then apply the chronicle sheet to that character
17:08:22 <Ballig> basically death in CotE (and maybe all sanctioned modules?) doesn't last beyond the module
17:08:26 <Ballig> but you get less xp/pa

18:01:48 <Avatar> oh nice!
18:02:18 <Avatar> yeah I will be in for that
18:02:28 <Avatar> what is the requisite level
18:03:58 <Avatar> rebooting
18:04:18 <Mekkis> 1
18:04:21 <Avatar> level 1 according to the site, but is that level 1 only
18:04:26 <Avatar> I guess it would be
18:04:32 <Mekkis> if you're delevelling a character, then 1
18:04:39 <Mekkis> if you've got a level 2 character, you can use it
18:05:27 <Avatar> Mellon's level 1
18:05:32 Avatar has quit (Quit: Spend social security on games.)
18:11:06 Avatar ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
18:11:31 <Mekkis> is it your intention to level him before starting CoTE?
18:13:36 <Avatar> well
18:13:38 <Avatar> first steps
18:16:53 <Mekkis> first steps 2 could be frustrating
18:17:10 <Avatar> yeah I have been hearing that
18:17:15 <Avatar> it is worrying me
18:17:20 <Mekkis> it's not hard
18:17:28 <Mekkis> I mean, I TPKed in first steps 1
18:21:03 <Mekkis> first steps 3 was interesting
18:21:10 <Mekkis> I had a lot of fun playing it
18:21:13 <Mekkis> and running it
18:39:56 <Avatar> your TPK in first steps 1 was a fluke though
18:40:09 <Avatar> first steps 1 is the easiest scenario I've seen to date
18:46:54 <Mekkis> not really
18:47:04 <Mekkis> there's a reason I allowed you to scout the ally
18:47:07 <Mekkis> alley*
19:10:24 <Avatar> oh okay
19:15:20 <Ballig> would you normally not be allowed
19:16:33 <Avatar> the details are probably vague
19:16:48 <Avatar> if it wasn't allowed I am pretty sure mekkis wouldn't have done it
20:02:09 <Avatar> bossman's making either a cleric or oracle
20:20:56 <Mekkis> Ballig, well, the scenario gives party starting positions
20:21:26 <Mekkis> basically bunching the party up
20:21:35 <Mekkis> there's a sorcerer who has colour spray
20:21:48 <Mekkis> the first time I ran it, the sorcerer won initiative...

20:41:58 <Avatar> too many spoilers mekkis
20:42:11 <Mekkis> spoilers?
20:44:44 <Avatar> re first steps
21:24:46 <Mekkis> oh
21:24:48 <Mekkis> sorry
21:24:59 <Mekkis> the bit where you get to meet all the faction leaders?

23:01:20 Sachiru ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
23:35:53 <Mekkis> what are the economics of a /Robe of Useful Items/
23:40:41 <Avatar> maybe valuable for its weight?
