15:58:19 Etaipo ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
16:00:18 <Etaipo> you guys active?
16:00:50 <Brunius> Mmmmm?
16:01:20 <Etaipo> you guys play d&d here, then?
16:01:48 <Brunius> Yep
16:02:05 <Brunius> We're moving on to pathfinder, now, but there is still some D&D going down.
16:02:21 <Etaipo> but pathfinder's just an extension of 3.5, no?
16:02:34 <Brunius> Pretty much
16:03:04 <Brunius> Some people get annoyed that we don't make it clear to them that we play more PF than D&D, so we make it clear when people first join the channel
16:04:13 <Etaipo> well I have little experience with either
16:04:35 <Etaipo> I would imagine that would become an issue
16:05:43 <Brunius> I'd never played D&D when I first joined here, about two years ago
16:05:48 <Brunius> They're very friendly :)
16:07:22 <Etaipo> alright, awesome
16:07:29 <Etaipo> when's the next session?
16:08:40 <Brunius> ./topic #d&d
16:09:04 <Brunius> Looks like the next session of PFS (Pathfinder Society) is on the 26th.
16:09:18 <Brunius> Where are you from?
16:09:23 <Etaipo> australia
16:09:38 <Etaipo> east coast
16:09:48 <Brunius> Cool, cool
16:10:05 <Brunius> We get Americans in here sometimes, and the timezones make games...inconvienient
16:10:13 <Etaipo> yeah, no doubt
16:10:40 <Etaipo> utc is the same as gmt, yeah?
16:11:00 <Etaipo> or was it gct
16:11:54 <Brunius> Yeah
16:11:56 <Brunius> Same thing
16:13:48 <Etaipo> So I'd have to wake up at 9.00am vic time to play d&d?
16:14:26 <Brunius> For a 10am game in the topic, you have to be in here at 10am.
16:14:38 <Brunius> Daylight savings makes us UTC+11, rather than +10
16:15:02 <Brunius> Mekkis has to be up at 9 for 10am games, because he's in QLD, where they don't have daylight savings
16:15:58 <Etaipo> k
16:16:04 <Etaipo> so I'll be here at 10
16:16:19 <Brunius> Cool :)
16:17:33 <Avatar> Etaipo
16:17:36 <Avatar> roll up a character !!
16:19:39 <Etaipo> Avatar
16:19:42 <Etaipo> what do?
16:20:05 <Avatar> what does what do mean
16:20:28 <Etaipo> I meant what should I do specifically
16:20:38 <Avatar> go here: http://dnd.ballig.net/newbie_guide.htm
16:20:46 <Avatar> hit newbie and follow the steps
16:21:07 <Avatar> how did you find the channel?
16:21:44 <Etaipo> first google result
16:21:52 <Etaipo> googled dungeons and dragons irc
16:21:55 <Etaipo> or similar
16:22:39 <Avatar> sweet
16:22:47 <Avatar> can you play weekly on weekends?
16:23:05 <Avatar> near weekly, at least
16:23:42 <Etaipo> I should be able to
16:23:47 <Etaipo> finished year 12
16:23:58 <Etaipo> so I have no plans for weekends
16:24:16 <Avatar> love your work
16:24:33 <Etaipo> don't work
16:24:38 <Avatar> me neither
16:24:40 <Avatar> it's pretty sweet hey
16:24:41 <Etaipo> not yet anyway
16:26:26 <Etaipo> yeah it's fairly decent
16:26:34 <Etaipo> just relaxing, not doing much else
16:27:00 <Etaipo> so, how do I go about creating a character?
16:27:10 <Avatar> did you go to that link
16:27:30 <Etaipo> yeah
16:27:46 <Avatar> ok so
16:27:49 <Etaipo> but I'm not exactly sure what to do
16:27:53 <Avatar> how much do you know about the game
16:28:23 <Etaipo> I know you have stats and stuff
16:28:32 <Etaipo> which influence the likelyhood of stuff
16:28:36 <Avatar> okay
16:28:38 <Etaipo> like damage and skill checks
16:28:40 <Avatar> grab the character sheet template
16:28:44 <Etaipo> yup
16:28:48 <Avatar> and one of the rulebooks
16:28:59 <Avatar> and the pathfinder society guide
16:29:18 <Avatar> you'll need combat assistant too but you can get that later
16:31:51 <Etaipo> so what's pathfinder society?
16:32:04 <Etaipo> and I only need the player handbook, yeah?
16:32:21 <Avatar> you need the handbook, the pathfinder society guide, and a char sheet template
16:32:27 <Avatar> the handbook has all the rules for pathfinder
16:32:31 <Etaipo> http://dnd.ballig.net/charsheets/Character%20Sheet%20Template%20%28Pathfinder%20Society%29.txt
16:32:40 <Etaipo> this char sheet template, yeah?
16:32:42 <Avatar> the pathfinder society guide has the rules for pathfinder society specifically
16:32:46 <Avatar> the template is your character sheet
16:32:49 <Avatar> yeah that's it
16:33:49 <Avatar> if you get fed up with creating a character, you can use a pregenerated one instead, but it's generally more fun to make your own
16:34:31 <Avatar> easiest way to create your character is to look at chapter 2 in the pathfinder society guide
16:34:36 <Avatar> there's step-by-step instructions there
16:35:00 <Avatar> although you'll want to look over the classes in the pathfinder rulebook first
16:35:02 <Avatar> and pick one you like
16:35:19 <Avatar> and a name for your character, while you're at it
16:37:45 <Etaipo> and what about rolling stats?
16:37:51 <Etaipo> how is that done?
16:38:05 <Avatar> !throw 1d20
16:38:06 <diebot> Avatar, 1d20: [1d20=3] 3
16:38:14 <Avatar> but you won't roll stats in pathfinder society
16:38:25 <Avatar> have you had a look at chapter 2 of the PFS guide yet
16:39:49 <Etaipo> nope
16:40:05 <Avatar> yep do that first
16:40:26 <Etaipo> trying to find a good torrent for pathfinder society
16:40:33 <Avatar> there's a link on that page
16:40:46 <Etaipo> that's to purchase
16:40:51 <Avatar> it's free
16:40:51 <Etaipo> oh wait
16:40:52 <Etaipo> nvm
16:41:05 <Etaipo> "Will be added to your downloads immediately upon purchase of PDF. "
16:41:13 <Etaipo> I didn't consider looking at the price
16:41:46 <Avatar> yep
16:51:36 <Etaipo> looking over character creation now
17:09:10 <Etaipo> not sure what race/class to play
17:14:55 <Avatar> yeah take your time with that
17:15:40 <Ballig> sweet, another Australian
17:17:04 <Avatar> about time aye
17:17:14 <Avatar> get it, time
17:17:31 <Ballig> ha ha
17:17:50 <Avatar> ha ha
17:18:41 <Etaipo> are the americans less relyable because of the time difference then?
17:19:00 <Avatar> yeah pretty much
17:19:17 <Avatar> a few exceptions
17:19:41 <Avatar> it'd be handy if one of them decided to try and DM a game
17:22:22 <Etaipo> I'd like to get a bit of an idea of the party before I make my character
17:22:55 <Avatar> PFS secnarios only last for about 2 or 3 sessions
17:23:03 <Avatar> the party changes between scenarios depends on who's playing
17:23:37 <Avatar> my main character is a gunslinger, Ballig is a cavalier, brunius is a cleric or rogue, mekkis is umm
17:23:47 <Mekkis> ummm?
17:23:58 <Ballig> a druidvier
17:24:00 <Avatar> druid/fighter
17:24:02 <Mekkis> what?
17:24:17 <Mekkis> I'm not playing Grolshmir for anything until Shades of Ice III
17:24:24 <Avatar> well I don't know, what's your main
17:24:27 <Avatar> you have like 6 characters
17:24:36 <Mekkis> I have a wizard/rogue/master spy/arcane trickster
17:24:41 <Mekkis> a druid/fighter
17:24:46 <Mekkis> a diviner
17:24:54 <Mekkis> a synthesist summoner
17:24:56 <Mekkis> and a cleric
17:24:59 <Avatar> which one would you normally play in here
17:26:04 <Avatar> yeah that's what I thought
17:26:18 <Mekkis> the summoner, I think
17:26:21 <Mekkis> depending on tier
17:26:36 <Avatar> that crazy summoner
17:27:39 <Avatar> canine is an inquisitor
17:27:48 <Avatar> who else normally plays
17:28:05 <Etaipo> so what could the party do with?
17:28:25 <Avatar> maybe a wizard/sorcerer
17:28:53 <Avatar> or bard if that's your thing
17:29:23 <Avatar> or maybe a fighter or barbarian or paladin
17:29:51 <Etaipo> a barbarian is tempting
17:30:06 <Etaipo> because all I'd do is take damage
17:30:11 <Etaipo> and beat things
17:30:43 <Brunius> If you're going to do that, take a Barbarian.
17:30:49 <Brunius> Not a sorceror
17:30:53 <Etaipo> yeah
17:30:59 <Brunius> We don't need another Eideren
17:31:01 <Etaipo> I know generally what each class is
17:31:03 <Mekkis> what characters does Balls have other than Bob?
17:32:12 <Mekkis> sh: 72 * .4: command not found
17:32:17 <Mekkis> 28.8
17:34:27 <Avatar> he's got a wizard I think
17:34:58 <Avatar> what are you running on saturday mekkis
17:36:32 <Mekkis> considering First Steps 2 or 3
17:36:44 <Avatar> oh yeah
17:37:00 <Avatar> so uh
17:37:09 <Avatar> my level 1 character is a wizard and so is ballig's
17:37:39 <Etaipo> so all you guys have more than one character?
17:37:51 <Avatar> yeah I think so
17:37:57 <Etaipo> :/
17:38:04 <Etaipo> all on the same campaign?
17:38:22 <Avatar> pathfinder society isn't like a regular campaign
17:38:39 <Avatar> it's literally a 'society' in game terms, and you go on missions
17:38:43 <Avatar> each mission is a 'scenario'
17:39:04 <Avatar> once you complete that scenario with that party, it's done like a full campaign would be done, and you get 1 exp
17:39:12 <Avatar> for every 3 exp you get, you level up
17:40:06 <Avatar> it's a bit odd that we all have more than one character because most of us haven't gone beyond level 4 yet, except for mekkis
17:41:52 <Etaipo> hmm
17:44:26 <Ballig> it's organised play
17:44:36 <Ballig> it's a set of consistent rules so anyone can DM a scenario
17:44:46 <Ballig> you don't play more than one character in the same scenario
17:45:03 <Ballig> Avatar: it's not odd
17:45:08 <Ballig> I made my second character so that I could apply GM exp to it
17:45:16 <Ballig> for scenarios that I'd already played with my first character
17:45:29 <Ballig> and now I use it to play low tier scenarios that I don't want my level 4 character playing
17:49:10 <Avatar> yeah it's not odd to you or me
17:49:21 <Avatar> but looking at it from the perspective of someone who's never played PFS
17:50:25 <Etaipo> yeah, it's a little different to the typical rpg experience gaining systems
18:05:02 <Brunius> CPU alarm might have just gone off

20:09:53 <Avatar> [19:56] <Avatar> I got a SWTOR invite
20:10:10 <Avatar> does pathfinder have rules for alignment
20:10:20 <Avatar> or did it do away with them
20:13:13 <Ballig> "not evil" is the rule isn't it
20:13:23 <Avatar> not PFS
20:13:23 <Ballig> or do you mean pathfinder, not pathfinder society
20:13:26 <Avatar> pathfinder in general
20:13:28 <Ballig> what do you mean "rules"
20:13:34 <Avatar> does lawful good exist
20:13:40 <Ballig> yeah?
20:14:17 <Ballig> page 167
