00:06:38 <Avatar> how does your eidolon talk
00:06:52 <Avatar> or doesn't it
00:07:11 <Avatar> pretty sure it's supposed to if it has class skills like bluff
00:23:39 Mort- ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
00:23:52 <Mort-> Oooh
00:24:28 <Ballig> ooooh
00:26:22 <Mort-> First steps part 2
00:26:37 <Mort-> Lol reading synopsis
00:26:46 <Mort-> But I'm kind of bankrupt atm
00:27:00 <Mort-> Holy water sounds good ^^
00:27:10 <Mort-> Just got my mulechords
00:27:12 <Mort-> :)
00:27:36 <Mort-> Maybe burning hands be good too.
00:27:46 <Mort-> Haunted. Lots of ud to pwn
00:28:13 <Mort-> I hash mage armor. Maybe i better get some light sticks
00:28:31 <Mort-> Worse case there is hm.
00:30:13 <Avatar> what is ud
00:30:20 <Avatar> undead
00:31:38 <Avatar> augment summoning doesn't augment an eidolon
00:31:49 <Avatar> hmmm am I actually going to summon things without my eidolon around
00:34:26 <Mort-> Ah they like shapeshifters?
00:34:27 <Mort-> Are
00:34:59 <Avatar> yeah, except they're stuck in one shape for a level
00:35:11 <Avatar> and you get more points to make them funkier shapes each level
00:35:24 <Avatar> they get different abilities or attacks and whatnot
00:35:30 <Avatar> sort of like buying skills for your character
00:35:42 <Avatar> only it's literal body parts and the like
00:35:45 <Mort-> Sounds like ashs pikachu
00:35:47 <Mort-> Lol
00:35:49 <Avatar> it's quite interesting
00:36:53 <Mort-> If someone kills your eidolon
00:36:58 <Mort-> A part of you dies?
00:37:56 <Avatar> I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's just a matter of doing another 1 minute ritual to recall it
00:38:13 <Mort-> That's not right
00:38:22 <Mort-> If you and critter share same soul
00:38:29 <Mort-> It should hurt you both
00:39:02 <Avatar> well it shares a link with the summoner, but I don't think they 'share the same soul'
00:39:10 <Avatar> they're not the same character, so to speak
00:41:02 <Mort-> more proficient at his summoning. Over time, the two become linked, eventually even sharing a shard of the same soul. But this power comes with a price: the summoner’s spells and abilities are limited due to his time spent enhancing the power and exploring the nature of his eidolon.
00:41:08 <Mort-> see?
00:43:06 <Avatar> there you go
00:43:56 <Mort-> Share a shard of the same soul?
00:45:58 <Avatar> eidolons can talk
00:46:03 <Avatar> haha! my snake can talk
00:46:58 * Mort- comes over to stroke avatars snake
00:47:07 <Ballig> err
00:47:43 <Mort-> "Socks tries to get out of her robe pocket to bite the snake"
00:47:47 <Avatar> my snake would like mort
00:47:54 <Mort-> Uh?
00:47:55 <Ballig> this is like some weird D&D porn
00:48:00 <Mort-> In what sense
00:48:03 <Avatar> ballig that's filthy
00:48:16 <Ballig> some weird, weird D&D porn
00:48:20 <Mort-> An eidolon can be a serpent right
00:48:33 <Mort-> So i have a pet. He does too
00:48:42 <Mort-> Nothing wrong with that!
00:49:30 <Mort-> Even if socks doesn't like snakes
00:50:23 <Avatar> I keep looking back at the other base forms and I can't really work out why I decided on esrpent
00:50:39 * Mort- whispers to Socks ,"there there, i won't let snakey get you"
00:51:12 <Avatar> and the more I hear you guys talk about GMs making you explain out reasons for acrobatics and disable device doesn't help that choice either
00:52:03 <Mort-> Probably because your slithery in nature? :p
00:52:17 <Avatar> no that's not it
00:52:20 <Mort-> But snakes are easy to slip around
00:53:37 <Mort-> Decent dmg?
00:53:43 <Mort-> But why not aquatic
00:54:16 <Avatar> aquatic doesn't appeal to me at all
00:54:33 <Avatar> feels like it's the worst of all worlds, except for swimming
00:54:38 <Avatar> how much swimming do you do
00:54:52 <Mort-> Stats good for aquatic
00:55:00 <Mort-> But can they function on dry land?
00:55:20 <Avatar> with legs I guess they could
00:55:30 <Avatar> without it, I doubt it
00:55:40 <Avatar> it's a fish basically
00:57:22 <Mort-> Lots of combat based evolutions?
00:57:32 <Mort-> On the snake type?
00:58:08 <Avatar> yeah
00:59:13 <Mort-> Do snake types get to become dragons?
00:59:15 <Mort-> :p
00:59:44 <Avatar> if you want
00:59:50 <Avatar> give it wings, a breath weapon
00:59:55 <Avatar> legs
01:00:21 <Avatar> I just stumbled upon what appears to be an extremely broken build for an eidolon
01:00:41 Sachiru has quit (Quit: Shutting Down )
01:00:50 <Ballig> is it a dragon build
01:01:19 <Avatar> you'd never guess what it is
01:01:47 <Ballig> is it a snake with wings
01:01:51 <Ballig> or a horse with wings
01:01:59 <Avatar> no those are basic builds
01:02:14 <Avatar> you can tell a munchkin came up with this one
01:02:20 <Avatar> they're not just randomly put together evolutions
01:02:27 <Avatar> wings
01:02:28 <Avatar> god
01:02:50 <Ballig> what's the build
01:02:52 <Avatar> it's a bit weird choosing any kind of build when you know you can change it in a level
01:03:04 <Avatar> mekkis might hear me and get ideas
01:03:16 <Ballig> ha
01:03:21 <Avatar> I sort of feel like it should be buried
01:41:12 <Avatar> think I might get a biped one to begin with
01:44:07 <Avatar> can't decide
01:44:07 <Avatar> will decide tomorrow I think
01:44:07 <Avatar> had enough of this bollocks
04:32:50 Mort- has quit (Quit: Bye)
09:38:01 <Jaggedsoul> I hope there's one today...
09:38:44 <tristen> hey jagster
09:38:49 <Jaggedsoul> If anyone wants to play
09:38:51 <tristen> you did wbg yesterday?
09:38:59 <Jaggedsoul> count me in the foray
09:39:07 <Jaggedsoul> hey hey hey!
09:39:23 <tristen> i lolled at the goblin antics
09:39:27 <Jaggedsoul> sup tristen, nope
09:39:34 <Jaggedsoul> yeah
09:39:49 <tristen> actually i think i played wbg with you?
09:39:54 <Jaggedsoul> we did that before -- very funny
09:40:10 <tristen> yeah - there should be more of those
09:41:05 <Jaggedsoul> yeah - if I can't avoid having my character die, I'd rather he die laughing lol
09:41:46 <tristen> sfunny playing a grotty little goblin
09:42:01 <tristen> actually we played a scenario with goblins on the weekend
09:42:09 <Jaggedsoul> tristen, if the powers that be finds he mood to dm today, will you play?
09:42:25 <Jaggedsoul> saw that scenario when I was lurkin
09:42:29 <tristen> yeah ballig has us in the middle of a pretty gnarly scenario
09:42:35 <tristen> he may continue it today
09:42:41 <tristen> canine was playing riose
09:42:54 <tristen> and canine has internets trouble atm
09:43:09 <tristen> so if ballig runs that you could probably step in
09:43:36 <tristen> other than that - maybe they'll kick off a new scenario
09:43:43 <Jaggedsoul> funniest part was when they came tumbling down - pity the one at he bottom lol
09:44:20 <Jaggedsoul> well, I'm doing dirty laundry so I'll stick around
09:44:22 <tristen> lol i nearly fell off my chair laughing at the "ring that let's you climb stuff real good"
09:44:38 <tristen> cool jagged
09:45:49 <Jaggedsoul> lol - how about those dares only reserved for heroes?
09:47:01 <tristen> aye what was it "hide and whack" or something
09:50:25 <Jaggedsoul> i think so
09:50:59 <tristen> hey btw that was bloody good roleplaying in the shadowrealm the other day...
09:51:13 <tristen> did you win your faction mission points?
09:51:35 <Jaggedsoul> just 1 point
09:51:37 <tristen> or were you actually supposed to kill that guy zeliah?
09:51:47 <tristen> zeli-something-or-other?
09:51:56 <Jaggedsoul> I think I bungled up when I let that scoundrel go
09:52:14 <tristen> did you have to kill him or just capture him?
09:52:28 <Jaggedsoul> zelius - that's hard when your character has -2 on all mental aptitudes :)
09:53:47 <tristen> yeah, i think i managed to pull some ridiculous cmb rolls to prevent you killing him :/
09:53:59 <Jaggedsoul> actually, just to silence him, not really kill him. but when I let him go, he'll be unfriendly and whatnot cause I used intimidate on him
09:54:32 <Jaggedsoul> I think the 1 point is for the opal ring
09:55:04 <tristen> i was frantically questioning him before a 20-str orc (half-orc?) could lay his battle-axe into him :D
09:55:21 <tristen> (i had an anti-slaving mission to complete)
09:55:44 <tristen> i don't think he was critical to my mission in the end though...
09:55:50 <Jaggedsoul> hahaha - one of my best games yet and I didnt get the full prestige points
09:56:00 <tristen> still 1 outta 2 ain't bad
09:56:29 <Jaggedsoul> yeah - paging players and dms :)
10:04:12 <Ballig> zzz
10:07:57 <Jaggedsoul> still sleepy ballig
10:08:28 <Ballig> got 7 hours of sleep
10:08:44 <tristen> still 7 outta 8 ain't bad :D
10:09:04 <Jaggedsoul> you're starting to sound like a bot tristen :)
10:09:29 <tristen> !clown around
10:09:33 <Jaggedsoul> crunching out numbers and whatnot lol
10:11:47 <Jaggedsoul> ballig, I'm available to play
10:12:31 <Ballig> what are we playing
10:13:54 <Jaggedsoul> if you dm, me and tristen will play
10:14:11 <Jaggedsoul> just need 1 more :)
10:17:36 <Brunius_AFK> Mekkis, I don't think my opinion is really valid as to whether Avatar is an experienced player.
10:18:11 <Ballig> go to school
10:20:14 <Jaggedsoul> hello guys, I'm around if anybody needs a player
10:30:13 <Jaggedsoul> just doing dirty laundry
10:40:05 <MekkiSScreen> Brunius: it's more whether you'd let him play a master summoner
10:41:02 <tristen> mekkis: i think i've just walked into the conversation, but why wouldn't you [let him play as a master summoner]?
10:49:21 <Thelen> XD
10:49:38 <Thelen> i can probably play
10:49:43 <Thelen> if someone wants to do aomthing at 11
10:50:07 <tristen> howsitgoingthelenshar?
10:51:00 <Thelen> gut gut
10:51:02 <Thelen> goblinsies :D
10:51:26 <tristen> i was lolling with jagged over that a second ago :D
10:51:47 <MekkiSScreen> a master summoner needs to be on-the-ball all the time
10:51:55 <Thelen> XD
10:52:18 <MekkiSScreen> they're dealing with a lot of creatures
10:52:25 <MekkiSScreen> it can slow down combat
10:53:39 <tristen> so it's not specific to avatar you mean? master summoners are a pain in general?
10:54:11 <tristen> (a pain to play i mean)
10:55:34 <tristen> for the dm AND the other players?
10:57:22 <Thelen> yea
10:57:30 <Thelen> inherently things a pain for players are for DM too :D
11:02:11 <Jaggedsoul> Thelen, I can play at 11, Tristen?
11:02:38 <Jaggedsoul> and rest assured, my character is not a master summoner :)
11:03:08 <MekkiSScreen> a
11:03:48 <MekkiSScreen> if the player is really experienced, it's not that much of a problem
11:03:48 <Thelen> i think tristen is around lets ask him :D
11:04:22 <Thelen> oh wait he said already
11:04:34 <Thelen> but only if he's allowed some tea
11:07:15 <Jaggedsoul> hey mort
11:07:28 <Thelen> oh noez we've been mortified!
11:11:55 <MekkiSScreen> I should move diebot to mysql
11:12:02 <MekkiSScreen> rather than sqlite
11:15:29 <tristen> what does diebot do database-wise?
11:15:52 <tristen> save those macros?
11:15:57 <tristen> anything else?
11:16:07 <tristen> recall those macros :D
11:16:18 <Tashes_> Hmm. Someone remind me to wake up thursday morning for Avatar's game!
11:16:26 <MekkiSScreen> the macros aren't in the database
11:16:35 <MekkiSScreen> thay're serialised to taml
11:16:38 <MekkiSScreen> yaml
11:16:46 <Tashes_> Theres a macro for waking me up? trololol
11:17:09 <Mort-> Haha
11:17:21 <Mort-> Mortified
11:17:21 <Thelen> hahaha
11:17:31 <Mort-> Now that sounds so familiar
11:18:01 <tristen> what does diebot do with a db?
11:19:07 <MekkiSScreen> !init Tarrasque
11:19:08 <diebot> MekkiSScreen, (+3 Dex, +4 Improved Initiative): [1d20=13] 20
11:19:22 <Jaggedsoul> so many people in the room, it almost beckoning for a game :)
11:19:22 <MekkiSScreen> !fullattack Tarrasque
11:19:23 <diebot> MekkiSScreen, Bite: [1d20=2] 59; Bite: [4d8=6,7,4,1] 35; horns: [1d20=10] 62, [1d20=20] 72; horn: [1d10=10] 18, [1d10=4] 12; claws: [1d20=16] 68, [1d20=16] 68; claw: [1d12=12] 20, [1d12=2] 10; tail slap: [1d20=15] 67; tail slap: [3d8=5,7,7] 27
11:19:37 <MekkiSScreen> !reincarnate35
11:19:38 <diebot> MekkiSScreen, Roll: 39: Goblin
11:19:40 <tristen> ah! right all that stuff
11:20:10 <tristen> yeah mysql makes the web go round
11:20:13 <MekkiSScreen> !feat Spell focus
11:20:13 <diebot> MekkiSScreen, +1 bonus on save DCs for one school
11:20:18 <tristen> shouldn't be too hard to port no?
11:20:34 <tristen> the sql code should more or less just work
11:21:12 <tristen> but if you haven't abstracted away the db it'll be a pain in the backside
11:21:27 <tristen> porting always sucks...
11:22:42 <Mort-> Give avatar and ballig a break :p
11:22:48 <Mort-> They have been dming
11:23:03 <Mort-> Though maybe sometime in the future
11:23:20 <Mort-> I wouldn't mind gming we be goblins
11:23:35 <Mort-> That one looks fair simple to gm
11:24:07 <Mort-> But an ordinary scenario - i have a long way to in
11:24:10 <Mort-> Go
11:24:27 <Mort-> Too many creative ideas involved
11:25:32 <MekkiSScreen> Mort-: run first steps 2
11:25:47 <Mort-> I never played it before.h
11:25:50 <Mort-> ?
11:26:01 <Mort-> So i have no clue what would be involved
11:26:19 <Mort-> Rather play first
11:26:38 <Mort-> Then gm else i spoil my own fun when i run through it with my character
11:27:12 <MekkiSScreen> your character gets credit when you DM it
11:28:35 <Mort-> I know
11:28:46 <Mort-> But i want to run through it first!
11:30:07 <Mort-> We be goblins is a kinda fun scenario because you just need to be silly
11:30:14 <Mort-> And dying doesn't really matter
11:30:42 <Mort-> Which actually goes to point at the urm combat tactics or lack thereof :p
11:32:17 <Thelen> hehe
11:32:56 <Mort-> But anyway out of fun sake
11:33:05 <Mort-> I have yet to see a ranger go twf
11:33:26 * Mort- thinks drizzt do urden
11:33:58 <Mort-> But so I've heard his character sheet is skewed and the character is totally unplayable
11:34:00 <Mort-> Lol
11:35:38 <MekkiSScreen> anything of that level is really campaign-specific
11:36:13 <Mort-> No i was saying about his stats
11:36:17 <Mort-> Hehe
11:37:43 <Mort-> www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=fr/fx20010117d
11:41:19 <Mort-> But darkelf spell resist is totally awesome
11:47:03 <MekkiSScreen> that's what I meant
11:47:14 <MekkiSScreen> his stats are out-of-context
11:47:55 <Mort-> What do you mean :p
11:51:02 <MekkiSScreen> high level play is very swingy
11:51:21 <MekkiSScreen> it really depends what the DM does, and who's in your party
12:00:27 <Mort-> Im
12:00:29 <Mort-> Hm
12:01:21 <MekkiSScreen> I'm considering starting CoED every second Wednesday evening, starting from 8-Feb
12:04:58 <Jaggedsoul> I'm in - what time?
12:05:48 <MekkiSScreen> 8pm AEST
12:06:17 <MekkiSScreen> that's UTC+10
12:12:35 <Jaggedsoul> so the usual, which is 7am my time
12:24:24 <Mort-> Oh!
12:24:29 <Mort-> But once i get a job
12:24:34 <Mort-> Can't play lol
12:24:46 <Mort-> Don't know when that will be though
12:26:00 <MekkiSScreen> 9pm UTC+11
12:27:49 <Mort-> so yep
12:27:51 <Mort-> I guesss
12:27:55 <Mort-> once I start working
12:27:56 <Jaggedsoul> Mekkis, is that 5pm my time?
12:27:57 <Mort-> it means no gaming
12:27:58 <Mort-> sigh
12:28:27 <Mort-> but so far I havent gotten any sucessful interviews yet
12:28:38 <Mort-> problem is I cant play 6 hrs in a row wihtout pissing parents off
12:28:44 <Mort-> unless I remain out of the house at that time
12:28:47 <Mort-> but this time, I have earphones :P
12:32:17 <Jaggedsoul> I know how that feels, having work
12:32:39 <Jaggedsoul> so I have to do dirty laundry and stuff so as not to piss my wifey ;)
12:35:56 <Thelen> hehehe
12:36:26 <Mort-> seems like the whole party is here..
12:36:29 * Mort- twitches
12:36:33 <Mort-> but again once I get gaming nothing gets done
12:36:34 <Mort-> sigh
12:38:18 * Mort- tail really twitches
12:38:24 * Mort- waves at socks...
12:38:34 <Mort-> "Socks puts her head out of my robe!"

13:13:10 <***> Buffer Playback...
13:13:11 <***> Playback Complete.
13:13:55 <Mekkis> Mort-, it lets you see that your wizard/rogue is probably not what you want
13:14:57 S711 has quit (Quit: For England, James?)
13:15:24 <Mort-> hm thats intersting
13:15:26 * Mort- start studying :D
13:15:49 <Mekkis> like Mytiazair worked out the hard way :)
13:15:59 <Mort-> Ive done some real whacky stuff in my day :P
13:16:07 <Mekkis> aka. throw 25 or so XP at it
13:16:35 <Mort-> dont see..anything wrong on first glance at that
13:16:41 <Mort-> people xclass fighters and clerics..
13:16:42 <Mort-> dont they?
13:17:27 <Mort-> but cleric odenst relaly give anything to the whole thing I suppose
13:17:31 <Mort-> except the ability to CLW
13:17:34 <Mort-> as in wands
13:17:40 <Mort-> which you wwont be using in combat
13:18:29 <Mekkis> in 3.5, the some types of clerics gave you significant bonuses from domains
13:18:38 <Mekkis> eg War domain gave you free weapon focus
13:19:10 <Jaggedsoul> my dwarf's base speed is unmodified by wearing heavy armor
13:19:27 <Jaggedsoul> travel grants me +10 my base speed
13:19:31 <Mort-> ah I see
13:19:33 <Mort-> so you move faster
13:19:51 <Mekkis> it also gives you longstrider as a first level domain spell ;0
13:19:58 <Jaggedsoul> yes, a mobile tank
13:20:05 <Jaggedsoul> mekkis, yep
13:20:11 <Mort-> oh so you move fast :P
13:20:30 <Mort-> dunno though...I somehow think if you create straight at level 8 you're missing out some stuffs
13:20:37 <Mort-> its like trying to run before you learn to walk
13:20:42 <Mort-> I have a feeling Ill fk up :D
13:20:52 <Mort-> not relaly that sure on mechanics of stuff yet..
13:21:08 * Mort- has some idle fantasies about rogues though..again..glass cannon builds, Ill go down at a sneeze
13:21:26 <Jaggedsoul> what I did is just focus on simple mechanics I'm already very familiar
13:21:44 <Jaggedsoul> instead of giving him a lot of complicated stuff
13:21:44 <Mort-> ah okay, Im not really any good at it, again how much do you learn by just being around..for a lil while? :D
13:22:02 <Mort-> also I was wondering if someone would take ranger and fighter together
13:22:07 <Jaggedsoul> I'm a noob myself mort
13:22:10 <Mort-> and screw dex because rangers get twf
13:22:31 <Mort-> but I think the difference between this and most dnd stuff Ive played is most stuff have more levels to play with
13:24:23 <Mort-> and yeah you need to do it til 11..
13:24:36 <Mort-> not going to wor kif you have 12 levels to play with
13:28:26 <MekkiSScreen> Mort-: the other thing is that your character generally needs to work at every level
13:31:11 <Mort-> ok yes
13:31:14 <Mort-> so how do I work?
13:31:16 <Mort-> bake cookies? :D
13:31:20 * Mort- runs around to bake
13:32:16 <Mort-> acutally on a more DnD setting, Id offer myself as a scribe? Im trained in all kinds of esoteric knowledge
13:32:36 <Mort-> religion, arcane, local, geography..you need it you have it :)
13:32:46 <Mort-> All in one blue haired, green eyed package, with dimples included
13:32:47 <Mort-> :)
13:33:00 <Mort-> And of course, a furry critter in her robes
13:33:16 <MekkiSScreen> I mean not be useless :)
13:33:45 <Mort-> hehe
13:33:48 <Mort-> so how do I dayjob it :)
13:34:00 <MekkiSScreen> one thing you need to worry about with cross-classing a wizard is that you lose caster levels
13:34:29 <MekkiSScreen> so you fail against spell resistance
13:35:07 <Mort-> true
13:35:09 <Mort-> what SR :D
13:35:15 * Mort- is nice and blissful about spell resistance
13:36:11 <Mort-> okay so how od I get about getting a day job
13:36:14 <MekkiSScreen> when you cast many types of spells against certain enemies, you need to roll a caster level check
13:36:33 <MekkiSScreen> Mort-: I'm not talking about dayjobs
13:37:00 <MekkiSScreen> if your caster level check is less than their spell resistance, the spell doesn't affect them
13:37:29 <Mort-> true
13:37:41 <Mort-> Im sure somewhere there was a way to increase spell resistance
13:37:43 <Mort-> but I cant remmeber how :D
13:37:54 <Mort-> dc = increase int
13:42:25 <MekkiSScreen> increase levels in wizard
13:42:35 <MekkiSScreen> take spell penetration feat
13:42:39 <MekkiSScreen> play an elf
13:42:50 <MekkiSScreen> take greater spell penetration
13:43:14 <Jaggedsoul> lurkers aplenty :)
13:43:14 <Mort-> I am an elf :D
13:43:39 <Avatar> run a game Jaggedsoul
13:44:14 <Mort-> I dont thik
13:44:18 <Mort-> he ever ran one before :P
13:44:25 <Mort-> unless you want gobblins nope lol
13:45:13 <Avatar> apparently I applied for a position in canberra and attended an interview
13:45:37 <Avatar> Mort-: every GM hadn't run a game before they ran their first game
13:46:38 <canine> not me.
13:46:42 <MekkiSScreen> that's a start
13:46:58 <Avatar> not you what
13:47:24 <canine> there was never a point in history where I had never GMed :|
13:47:38 <Avatar> oh so you have GM'd before
13:47:41 <Avatar> run a game for us
13:47:45 <canine> not in Pathfinder.
13:47:48 <canine> I've GMed WFRP
13:47:56 <Avatar> this is probably mostly the same
13:47:58 <canine> and Vampire
13:48:22 <Mort-> I always think elf whizzies are cool
13:48:31 <Mort-> if nothing else, you can always thwack people on their heads with longsword
13:49:29 <Avatar> check it out, I did apply for this job - on 20/11/2011
13:49:34 <Avatar> rejected almost 2 months later
13:49:54 <Avatar> I wonder if I got an interview invite that I missed
13:50:34 <Jaggedsoul> teach me
13:51:40 <Avatar> you sort of have to teach yourself, and ask specific questions if you need help
13:57:16 <MekkiSScreen> CoED=Cult of the Ebon Destroyers
13:57:33 <Avatar> level 8 characters?
13:57:34 <MekkiSScreen> if you want to play, level your character up to 8th
13:57:40 <Mort-> wooooooow
13:57:49 <Mort-> who has level 8 characters here
13:58:07 <Jaggedsoul> I already created one
13:58:40 <Mort-> u cant create a level 8 character.
13:58:41 <Mort-> can u?
13:58:49 <Mort-> thats not fair..? how bount the leveling process :P
13:59:03 <Avatar> Jaggedsoul: what name
13:59:18 <Avatar> mort the character doesn't carry over to PFS scenarios, only the exp and prestige does
14:03:28 <MekkiSScreen> ja
14:03:29 <MekkiSScreen> ja
14:03:32 <Mort-> ah okay
14:03:34 <Mort-> nevermind
14:03:37 <Mort-> life is about the journey
14:03:39 <Mort-> not the destination :D
14:03:53 * Mort- is philosophical, even if I am a out of control, power hungry fire mage :P
14:04:53 <Jaggedsoul> wait
14:08:05 <Mort-> ?
14:09:22 <Jaggedsoul> Morgrym

15:52:47 <Mort-> But talking about it, if we're going to do firststeps 2..
15:52:49 <Mort-> dungeon crawls and all
15:52:58 <Mort-> maybe I really should get burning hands instead of magic missile
15:53:09 <Mort-> I think I might want to load in a little more holy water..
15:53:14 <Mort-> got 5 vials of alchemist fire
15:54:14 <Ballig> Thelen: like where you play a goblin?
15:54:16 <Ballig> don't think so
15:54:47 <Jaggedsoul> play play play!
15:54:59 <Mort-> hrm
15:55:05 <Mort-> hrm
15:55:19 <Mort-> if wnat to do it should do it in hte morning..becuase I will have to run off in about 4 hrs time or so
15:55:55 <Avatar> that's the standard length of a session
15:56:14 <Jaggedsoul> yay! let's play
15:56:24 <Mort-> urm the goblins thingie
15:56:26 <Mort-> took a while
15:56:32 <Mort-> beisdes I think all of us ran it before?
15:56:53 <Avatar> brunius hasn't
15:57:00 <Mort-> so who hasnt
15:57:02 <Mort-> get inventory here I guess
15:57:06 <Avatar> brunius
15:57:11 <Mort-> brunius, jagged soul
15:57:30 <Mort-> I prolly have about 4 h before I have to runnnz
15:57:46 <Ballig> jaggedsoul has played we be goblins
15:57:52 <Mort-> hrm
15:57:58 <Mort-> so only Brunius I have ot keep an eye out for
15:58:05 <Ballig> er, you played we be goblins last night?
15:58:10 <Mort-> yeah I did :D
15:58:13 <Thelen> Ballig nah something that mort could dm
15:58:15 <Mort-> nah its about me GMing it
15:58:15 <Ballig> oh, you mean have to keep an eye out for him
15:58:16 <Thelen> thats simply
15:58:19 <Thelen> and a bit silly
15:58:21 <Ballig> ahh got you
15:58:26 <Ballig> there's also tashes
15:58:31 <Ballig> and any other new players
15:58:39 <Ballig> I suggest start off by GMing First Steps 1, 2 or 3
15:58:40 <Avatar> DM first steps
15:58:43 <Mort-> ol
15:58:49 <Avatar> 1 is the easiest I think
15:58:49 <Mort-> I think we be goblins easier to GM
15:58:56 <Mort-> less..creative stuff
15:58:56 <Ballig> it isn't
15:58:59 <Mort-> peeps just get silly? :P
15:59:07 <Mort-> jump on stuff
15:59:08 <Mort-> set things on fire? :P
15:59:09 <Ballig> we be goblins is a little hard to GM
15:59:12 <Mort-> really?
15:59:12 <Mort-> hrm
15:59:14 <Ballig> a little
15:59:15 <Ballig> not a lot
15:59:16 <Ballig> but a little
15:59:19 <Mort-> I thought it was a fairly easy scenario
15:59:21 <Ballig> first Steps 1 is the easiest
15:59:24 <Mort-> ah
15:59:29 <Thelen> im lvl 3 now though so couldn't play them?
15:59:30 <Mort-> have I played it before?
15:59:31 <Mort-> not sure..
15:59:33 <Mort-> Im 2
15:59:36 <Mort-> a little high level
15:59:38 <Avatar> WBG might be harder to GM just based on how it's written
15:59:46 <Ballig> Thelen: if you played First Steps you'd have to make a new level 1 character
15:59:49 <Avatar> the 3 times I've seen that last encounter played out, it's played out differently each time
15:59:54 <Mort-> how much mess can a bunch of....
15:59:54 <Avatar> because the book doesn't tell you how to do it properly
15:59:55 <Ballig> or play a level 1 pregen and then make a level 1 character after to apply the credit to
15:59:57 <Mort-> little goblins make
16:00:09 <Mort-> but again most of us have some experience
16:00:13 <Ballig> Mort-: it's just that the book isn't entirely clear about how it's meant to be done
16:00:16 <Mort-> oh okay
16:00:18 <Thelen> haven't played first steps 2
16:00:19 * Mort- ponders
16:00:21 <Ballig> and that last encounter can be confusing
16:00:31 <Mort-> seemed fairly ordered and well run the last round
16:00:39 <Ballig> that's because I'm awesome !
16:00:41 <Mort-> except I had to run for dinner..I get issues :P
16:00:42 <Mort-> agreed
16:00:47 <Ballig> I've been GMing for almost a decade
16:00:55 <Mort-> I cant really do 6 h at a time..unless Im not at home
16:01:09 <Avatar> go for 3 or 4
16:01:19 <Mort-> point is you dont know how long a session will take
16:01:28 <Mort-> you get pokey noisy people like me inside..
16:01:30 <Avatar> sessions take about 5-6 hours
16:01:32 <Mort-> and yeah it takes ages
16:01:33 <Mort-> yup
16:01:38 <Avatar> but you can split it
16:01:43 <Ballig> it goes for as long as the GM want sit to
16:01:50 <Ballig> sometimes we do long sessions just to get through the entire scenario
16:01:56 <Mort-> yeah
16:02:03 <Mort-> most of our sessions have been that way since we're quite...
16:02:13 <Mort-> what was the very first scenario I played?
16:02:17 <Avatar> sometimes I think the long sessions we run should have a forced 1 hour break
16:02:26 <Ballig> city of strangers 2
16:02:34 <Avatar> lol city of strangers 2
16:03:07 <Mort-> ah k
16:03:10 <Mort-> thanks
16:03:22 <Mort-> that one is pretty long
16:04:18 <Mort-> what hapepns if you run low level scenarios on higher character levels but you uptier?
16:05:05 <Ballig> there are restrictions
16:05:16 <Ballig> like a scenario might be tier 1-5
16:05:26 <Ballig> and inside that tier it has subtiers 1-2 and 4-5
16:05:38 <Ballig> you can do subtier 4-5 even with a party of level 1 characters, but you'd probably die
16:05:45 <Ballig> but you can't play either subtier as a level 6 character because you're outside the range
16:06:13 <Mort-> what does uptiering do?
16:06:21 <Mort-> increase the number or levle of the mobs that you fight?
16:06:40 <Ballig> everything is harder (it's designed for characters of that subtier), but the rewards are higher (in terms of gold and potential items)
16:07:18 <Mort-> including whatever saves taht you end up having to make?
16:07:20 <Ballig> so it might increase the levels of the things they're fighting, or the number of creatures they fight, or even the type of creatures
16:07:21 <Mort-> even for information?
16:07:26 <Mort-> oh my
16:07:27 <Ballig> yeah
16:07:27 <Mort-> interesting
16:07:37 <Mort-> so if you run a tier 4-5
16:07:44 <Mort-> on level 2/3 characters?
16:07:56 <Ballig> it will be harder for them
16:07:59 <Ballig> they might die horribly
16:08:01 <Ballig> (they might not)
16:08:19 <Mort-> but if you ran a level 1 scenario like city of strangers, on average party level 2-3
16:08:23 <Mort-> itd be abit too easy right?
16:08:29 <Ballig> city of strangers isn't a "level 1 scenario"
16:08:30 <Mort-> we sort of all..had a great time hiding around buck :P
16:08:33 <Mort-> it isnt..?
16:08:34 <Ballig> it's a 1-5 scenario, I think
16:08:37 <Ballig> with two subtiers, 1-2 and 4-5
16:08:40 <Mort-> I know we sort of...hid around him happily
16:08:51 <Avatar> I think I'm finally going to beat that guy who's been unstoppable in words with friends lately
16:09:04 <Ballig> what word will you be using
16:09:07 <Mort-> hed fire guns, me and nod hid behind him reallycool
16:09:24 <Avatar> what, as my last word
16:09:29 <Ballig> yeah
16:09:31 <Avatar> RUSH
16:09:32 <Ballig> what will your last word be
16:09:34 <Ballig> really
16:09:36 <Avatar> YEP
16:09:38 <Ballig> that's a bit anticlimatic
16:09:43 <Avatar> oh it's climatic alright
16:09:48 <Avatar> because that's what I'll be experiencing when I beat him
16:09:55 <Mort-> scrabble..?
16:09:59 <Avatar> yeah scrabble
16:10:00 <Ballig> I expected something like "euclidean"
16:10:13 <Avatar> that never happens man
16:10:27 <Mort-> oh my
16:10:36 <Mort-> urm I can scrabble as in I have english
16:10:41 <Mort-> but I think scrabble is more then that
16:10:51 <Mort-> like theres some tactical element init
16:10:56 <Mort-> like you can block people etc..
16:11:02 <Mort-> cant remember but my big bro did it to me
16:11:07 <Jaggedsoul> spot on mort
16:11:59 <Avatar> yeah there is
16:12:03 <Avatar> it is like chess but using words
16:12:11 <Mort-> y
16:12:13 <Mort-> ya
16:12:16 <Mort-> I can use the words
16:12:20 <Mort-> but the chess bit I epicallyfail
16:14:01 <Thelen> XD
16:14:20 <Avatar> I might run a scenario I've actually played before on thursday
16:14:25 <Avatar> not sure why I decided to pick a brand new one
16:15:31 <Mort-> I think it spoils your fun
16:15:34 <Mort-> if you do a brand new one
16:15:38 <Mort-> becase you know what it is for you
16:15:46 <Avatar> Brunius: are you about
16:24:24 Tashes has quit (Connection reset by peer)

16:25:25 <Ballig> so does gimp2
16:25:26 <Avatar> it has a browser for thumbnails and everything
16:25:30 <Avatar> forget gimp
16:25:32 <Ballig> and xnview
16:25:39 <Avatar> what is xnview
16:26:09 <Avatar> can xnview resize and whatnot
16:26:19 <Avatar> no
16:26:20 <Ballig> xnview is mostly a viewer
16:26:25 <Avatar> so shh
16:26:30 <Ballig> gimp 2 can though
16:26:37 <Avatar> yeah but gimp sucks abit
16:26:41 <Avatar> psp is wicked
16:26:50 <Ballig> xnview can resize
16:27:41 <Ballig> I actually prefer to use xnview when I can, because it's so lightweight and fast
16:28:19 <Avatar> this one did something really weird with the extraction
16:28:23 <Avatar> it put all the maps onto one image, 5 times
16:28:43 <Ballig> weird
16:28:55 <Avatar> I've heard of that being done before in webpages
16:29:09 <Avatar> bit weird in a pdf
16:46:31 <Avatar> son of a bitch still beat me
16:46:42 <Mort-> aww
16:47:28 <Avatar> he had a J, put it on a double letter score and formed two words with it = 42 points
16:47:31 <Ballig> should have gone with euclidean
16:47:49 <Mort-> hahaha
16:47:54 <Mort-> remind me not to play scrabble with you avatar
16:47:58 <Mort-> probably get trounched
16:48:13 <Avatar> I still haven't played my last move yet, there might be something I can do
16:48:21 <Avatar> but it's 343-327 now
16:49:21 <Avatar> scratch that, I still win
16:49:57 <Avatar> 325-363
16:49:58 <Mort-> bwhahha :D
16:49:59 <Mort-> OKAY
16:50:01 <Mort-> what was teh LAST WORD
16:50:04 <Avatar> I don't know how he had that many points subtracted
16:50:07 <Avatar> RUSH !
16:50:11 <Avatar> (and MALTS)
16:50:13 <Mort-> cant be?
16:50:15 <Mort-> not enough
16:50:21 <Avatar> oh it's enough
16:50:37 <Avatar> the S on a double letter score, no other bonuses
16:51:27 Thawne has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
17:35:07 * Mort- growls and gives up
17:36:40 * Ballig tranquilizes Mort-

18:13:02 <Ballig> will you be wanting to play some sweet PFS on Thursday
18:13:19 <Brunius> Yes. Will you?
18:13:27 <Ballig> yes
18:13:35 <Ballig> Avatar just wanted to know which scenario to prepare
18:13:37 <Mort-> hrrms
18:13:42 <Ballig> if you'll be playing, he'll run a different one
18:13:43 <Mort-> Urm...
18:13:48 <Mort-> what levels is Brunis
18:13:51 <Mort-> and who is he bringing along
18:13:57 <Ballig> all the levels!
18:14:00 <Mort-> haha
18:14:02 <Brunius> 1,3,5
18:14:06 <Brunius> It's great!
18:14:10 <Ballig> I'm 1, 2, 3 and 5
18:14:15 <Mort-> no u see..sneaky little mortails. will probably..read the synopsis of the scenario
18:14:18 <Mort-> but not the comments :P
18:14:27 <Mort-> if its a cold place Im off to buy cold weather suits
18:14:30 <Mort-> well that kind of thing
18:14:36 <Ballig> you will figure all that out at the start of the sceanrio
18:14:37 <Ballig> scenario
18:14:38 <Mort-> so Im not sure if its better to know
18:14:44 <Mort-> city of strangers didnt even get to buy stuff haha
18:14:52 <Mort-> oh but I HAVE MY MULEBACK CORDS :D
18:14:55 <Mort-> I am uber
18:14:57 <Ballig> that's because it was part 2 of a two part scenario
18:14:58 <Mort-> I can carry loads now
18:15:02 <Mort-> ahh
18:15:08 <Mort-> I hate going around unprepared
18:15:11 <Mort-> but shades of ice 2?
18:15:14 <Mort-> could go and buy stuffs
18:15:22 <Mort-> we all ran off with cold weather gear
18:15:34 <Ballig> yeah it depends on the story and scenarios
18:15:41 <Ballig> city of strangers 2 specifically takes place right after city of strangers 1
18:15:52 <Ballig> but you're in the middle of a city, so you can buy equipment during the scenario
18:15:55 <Mort-> being thrown in the wildness really doesnt help me if Im stuck wihtout my horsie..all my camping gear
18:15:58 <Mort-> is on horse :P
18:16:05 <Mort-> my canvas...
18:16:15 <Ballig> :p
18:16:17 <Mort-> my clmbing kit..
18:16:23 <Mort-> grappling arrows..
18:16:25 <Mort-> oh gawd
18:16:26 <Mort-> haha
18:16:54 <Mort-> serve me right for being unable ot carry it all
18:16:55 <Ballig> you can carry them all now!
18:16:58 <Ballig> do you have a masterwork backpack too
18:16:58 <Mort-> yeah I can
18:17:02 <Mort-> first thing I got
18:17:03 <Mort-> bwhahaha
18:17:10 <Mort-> before I got my muleback cords
18:17:11 <Ballig> what's your strength score
18:17:13 <Mort-> 10
18:17:18 <Mort-> I told you I dont take negative scores..
18:17:22 <Mort-> for a reason
18:17:24 <Mort-> 18 str ftw
18:17:36 <Ballig> 19
18:17:38 <Mort-> (Oh no, even more packratish)
18:17:40 <Mort-> ooh
18:17:47 <Ballig> masterwork backpack + muleback cords
18:17:52 <Mort-> Im going to walk around with the hospitals A and E department next
18:17:59 <Ballig> you can carry up to 116 pounds of stuff and remain with a light load
18:18:10 <Mort-> I dont thik Ill reach there
18:18:12 <Mort-> or maybe I will haha
18:18:20 <Ballig> I will get you to carry all my stuff too
18:18:31 <Brunius> how much does a horse weigh?
18:18:36 <Ballig> haha
18:18:37 <Ballig> like 500 pounds
18:18:41 <Brunius> Dammit
18:19:00 <Ballig> sorry
18:19:02 <Ballig> between 1000 and 15000
18:19:14 <Ballig> a pony is 600
18:19:21 <Ballig> er, 1000 and 1500
18:19:23 <Ballig> not 15000
18:19:24 <Ballig> that'd be huge
18:19:45 <Mort-> I cant carry my horse...
18:19:46 <Mort-> WHAT?
18:19:52 <Mort-> youll get me to carry all your stuff..?
18:19:56 * Mort- protests, thats Lemur abuse
18:20:00 <Ballig> not only can you not carry your horse, you would be crushed by it !
18:20:17 <Ballig> yeah, you can carry Artimus' breastplate while he's not wearing it
18:20:42 <Ballig> but it only weighs 30 pounds
18:20:57 <Thelen> XD
18:22:41 <Mort-> nooooo
18:22:45 <Mort-> u wont be making me carry your stuffs..
18:22:50 <Mort-> get your own cords ffs :P
18:23:17 <Ballig> only have 1400 gold
18:23:17 <Ballig> :(
18:23:20 <Mort-> I have no gold now
18:23:23 <Mort-> becuase I bought my cords
18:23:34 <Mort-> theres no use trying to be a doremort
18:23:45 <Mort-> if..you cant carry everything you would want with you
18:24:00 <Ballig> yeah you can carry them for me
18:24:16 <Mort-> 18 100 lbs. or less?
18:24:24 <Mort-> let me see how much weight I chalk up first
18:24:37 <Ballig> 10 strength, +1 masterwork backpack, +8 muleback cords
18:24:49 <Ballig> so you work off 19 for carrying capacity
18:26:25 <Mort-> These crampons, pitons, ropes, and tools give you a +2 circumstance bonus on Climb checks.
18:26:28 <Mort-> k so 116
18:26:32 <Mort-> lets go check how much crap I got
18:27:14 Thawne has quit (Quit: )
18:28:26 <Mort-> can I sell stuff?
18:28:30 <Brunius> Yeah
18:28:31 <Mort-> wtf am I keeping 15 days of trail rations for..
18:28:32 <Mort-> lol
18:28:34 <Mort-> how much do I get bakc
18:28:35 <Brunius> Half price
18:28:38 <Mort-> I mean 10 is fine, but 15?
18:28:41 <Mort-> what a wasteof space..
18:28:49 <Brunius> So if you paid 2gp for it then you get 1gp back
18:29:02 <Brunius> Just remember it all needs to be listed on the chronicle sheets
18:29:18 <Mort-> yeah okay
18:29:24 <Mort-> Ill keep 5 days of rations
18:29:31 <Mort-> figures I can get to another town by then if it came to that
18:29:38 <Ballig> leave it at the lodge
18:29:40 <Ballig> and just take them with you when you need them
18:29:43 <Avatar> I think we already have 6 people for thursday
18:29:45 <Ballig> instead of wasting them by selling them back for half what you paid
18:29:49 <Mort-> oh okay
18:29:54 <Mort-> so I put it at lodge?
18:30:10 <Ballig> yeah
18:30:19 <Ballig> just list it separately on your character sheet "Items left at lodge"
18:30:19 <Mort-> Ill pack my cold weather gear on horse
18:30:27 <Ballig> and just specifically mention to the GM when you're taking it with you
18:30:31 <Ballig> or even leave them on the horse
18:30:34 <Ballig> horses can carry heaps
18:30:46 <Mort-> yeah I will
18:30:50 <Mort-> I can leave them all on horsie
18:30:52 <Brunius> Avatar did you grow your hair
18:30:58 <Brunius> I clearly haven't been stalking you enough
18:30:59 <Mort-> if I need to go on a nature romp then Ill bring htem along
18:31:10 <Avatar> it's been that long for ages man
18:31:13 <Avatar> longer
18:49:29 <Brunius> Nope, not around, Avatar
18:49:35 <Ballig> jerk
18:49:52 <Brunius> your the jerk
18:50:54 <Mort-> lol
18:50:57 <Mort-> when u free :P
18:51:04 <Mort-> need to catch everyone around I suppose
18:51:32 <Avatar> are you around on thursday
18:51:57 <Spaceshot> I'm not gonna be
18:52:06 <Spaceshot> but I bet you expected that
18:52:16 <Avatar> yeah I did
18:52:23 <Avatar> I'm asking brunius because he's played it before
18:52:27 <Spaceshot> haha
18:52:52 <Ballig> sup Alex
18:53:26 <Spaceshot> wha?
18:53:29 <Spaceshot> who?
18:53:32 <Spaceshot> XD
18:56:37 <Spaceshot> Ballig: why you stalking people?
18:57:03 <Ballig> hm? was talking to Thelen
18:57:34 <Spaceshot> I bet
18:58:29 <***> Buffer Playback...
18:58:29 <***> Playback Complete.
18:58:59 <Ballig> yes
18:59:53 <Brunius> What
19:00:00 <Brunius> Played what before?
19:00:30 <Mort-> hehe
19:00:40 <Mort-> I havent even memmed expedious retreat
19:02:01 <Mort-> we be goblins
19:02:03 * Mort- is a gobbie
19:02:21 <Brunius> I haven't played it
19:02:29 <Mort-> hehee
19:02:35 <Ballig> that's not the one he was talking about :p
19:02:39 <Ballig> it was another game, probably one from a convention
19:02:53 <Jaggedsoul> half orc half gobbie monk wizard
19:04:06 <Brunius> First Steps 2?
19:22:23 <Avatar> exped retreat is probably one best kept on a scroll
19:22:45 <Avatar> yeah 1 min/level
19:22:54 <Avatar> that's an encounter, you wont' need longer than that
19:30:43 <Mort-> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/alternate-classes/antipaladin/archetypes/paizo---antipaladin-archetypes/knight-of-the-sepulcher
19:30:47 <Mort-> wtf this oune sounds like mighty good fun
19:30:48 <Mort-> lol
19:30:55 <Brunius> antipaladins aren't allowed in PFS
19:31:17 <Spaceshot> because you are required to be evil
19:31:42 <Mort-> I kno w :(
19:31:45 <Mort-> but I have fantasies..
19:31:47 <Mort-> of being EVIL
19:31:51 * Mort- gives the evil villian laugh
19:32:05 <Avatar> I really hate all the gnome racial traits
19:32:10 <Mort-> y
19:32:12 <Mort-> gnomes are cute
19:32:16 <Avatar> if I were to make a gnome, I think I would use all their alternates
19:32:53 <Spaceshot> can't use swiviblin
19:33:08 <Avatar> what
19:33:17 <Mort-> depp gnomes
19:33:20 <Mort-> deep gnomes are uber
19:33:22 <Mort-> spell resist...
19:33:28 * Mort- gets a dreamy look in her eyes
19:33:57 <Spaceshot> I prefer dream gnomes
19:34:02 <Ballig> big possibility
19:34:20 <Avatar> halflings are pretty superior in comparison to gnomes
19:34:34 <Avatar> table of 7 doesn't work does it
19:34:50 <Spaceshot> nope
19:34:51 <Brunius> Halflings are bamf
19:34:53 <Spaceshot> don't get spells :P
19:34:55 <Avatar> you're supposed to split that into a 4 and a 3
19:35:06 <Avatar> or a 3 and a 3 if one of the 4 becomes a GM
19:35:11 <Brunius> Frodo was a halfling, so halfings are far superior
19:35:20 <Mort-> frodo got his finger bitten off..
19:36:03 <Avatar> it's a 1-2 4-5 scenario, so could just uptier it I guess
19:36:09 <Brunius> Arcanacon attendees - Looks like I won't be there the friday
19:36:13 <Spaceshot> frodo was a hobbit
19:36:15 <Spaceshot> differnt
19:36:17 <Spaceshot> different*
19:36:33 <Brunius> Yes, but that's purely to avoid legal disputes
19:36:41 <Spaceshot> somewhat
19:36:52 <Thelen> which sceanrio?
19:36:59 <Spaceshot> the issue with halflings, they are more suited towards weapon users
19:37:07 <Spaceshot> whilst gnomes are more suited towards casters
19:37:23 <Spaceshot> and small characters who use weapons are at a disadvantage damage wise
19:37:24 <Avatar> well it's a good one
19:37:27 <Avatar> brunius has hit it on the head
19:37:35 <Avatar> frodo is a halfling therefore halflings are superior
19:37:44 <Mort-> because gnomes have + cons
19:37:46 <Mort-> which is a tank trait
19:37:50 <Mort-> while dex is more of a caster trait
19:37:54 <Spaceshot> nope
19:37:59 <Mort-> total weight
19:38:00 <Mort-> 44,5
19:38:04 <Mort-> who wants to load stuff
19:38:08 <Spaceshot> dex is more weapon user
19:38:11 <Mort-> on the whizzie
19:38:11 <Avatar> can you take some more
19:38:15 <Spaceshot> con is more everyone :P
19:38:17 <Mort-> 116 - 44.5
19:38:22 <Brunius> Come on netherwart!
19:38:24 <Avatar> what
19:38:25 <Brunius> GROW FASTER
19:38:32 <Mort-> 71.5 lbs extra
19:38:33 <Spaceshot> netherwart? MMO?
19:38:41 <Mort-> anyone wants to weigh down the wizzie?
19:38:42 <Avatar> is that with muleback cords
19:38:50 <Brunius> Minecraft.
19:38:53 <Avatar> nobody can really give you anything outside of a scenario
19:38:54 <Spaceshot> oh
19:38:58 <Mort-> yeah
19:38:58 <Spaceshot> yea haven't touched that in months
19:38:59 <Mort-> just saying
19:39:03 <Mort-> if anoyne wants me to carry stuff
19:39:07 <Mort-> since I got my fancy new cords
19:39:08 <Brunius> 1.1 has just been released
19:39:12 <Avatar> muscley mort
19:39:15 <Mort-> hehe
19:39:19 <Spaceshot> << at a blank
19:39:28 <Mort-> well I couldve used the canvas last scenario..
19:39:31 <Mort-> but..I oculdnt carry it along
19:39:40 <Mort-> as I said ALL my miscallaneous gear is on my horsie
19:39:57 <Mort-> stuff I need for immediate combat its on me
19:40:34 <Mort-> oh
19:40:36 <Mort-> oil works on swarms right?
19:41:07 <Avatar> to do what
19:41:25 <Avatar> light them on fire
19:41:47 <Avatar> is 1.1 like, the real 1.0
19:41:53 <Mort-> yep
19:41:58 <Mort-> I have flint, tinder, and a torch
19:41:59 <Mort-> bwhahahhaa
19:42:05 <Mort-> I also have alchemist fire
19:42:05 <Brunius> Yeah, pretty much
19:42:07 <Mort-> if it comes ot that
19:42:10 <Avatar> haha
19:42:51 <Avatar> you might get lucky with a nice GM
19:42:55 <Avatar> alchemical fire definitely works
19:43:02 <Brunius> I'm very tempted to order one single die at arcanacon
19:43:10 <Brunius> Because i totally need more d20s
19:43:17 <Brunius> Do you have dice Avatar?
19:43:32 <Brunius> Or will you need to borrow mine again? :P
19:44:30 <Mort-> so you throw alchemical fire
19:44:32 <Mort-> ranged touchattack?
19:44:34 <Avatar> yeah man I have had dice for ages
19:44:35 <Avatar> borrowing dice really sucks
19:44:36 <Brunius> I haven't played a game at the same con as you for ages
19:44:40 <Mort-> acutally Im more interested in what happens...if it misfires :D
19:44:41 <Mort-> hahaha
19:44:49 <Avatar> I don't remember when I bought them
19:44:58 <Avatar> it was at one of the cons
19:45:02 <Avatar> it hits another square instead
19:45:17 <Brunius> It's great
19:45:17 <Avatar> you can actually get dice that, instead of having numbers, it has directions
19:45:21 <Avatar> like N, NW etc
19:45:29 <Brunius> I have scatter dice for 40k :D
19:45:50 <Brunius> So they probably work nearly as well
19:45:54 <Mort-> Using Splash Weapons
19:45:54 <Mort-> Make a ranged attack against an unoccupied grid intersection (AC 5 plus range penalties.)
19:45:54 <Mort-> You Hit: Creatures in all adjacent squares are dealt splash damage. No creatures take direct hit damage.
19:45:54 <Mort-> You Miss: First, roll 1d8 to determine the misdirection of the throw.
19:45:54 <Mort-> 1 - Falls short (straight line towards the thrower.)
19:45:54 <Mort-> 2 through 8 - Count around the target creature or grid intersection in a clockwise direction.
19:45:54 <Mort-> Then, count a number of squares in the indicated direction equal to the number of range increments thrown. The thrown object lands that number of spaces away from the target.
19:45:54 <Mort-> Finally, the item deals splash damage (if any) to all creatures in the square it lands in and in all adjacent squares.
19:46:06 <Mort-> point is...I throw it at the nice swarm ahead, and it falls shot...
19:46:07 <Mort-> ooops?
19:46:12 <Mort-> we allget splattered instead of the swarm? :P
19:46:24 <Spaceshot> Brunius: I think he means the direction dice from bloodbowl XD
19:46:29 <Brunius> Nuu
19:46:34 <Brunius> He means scatter dice.
19:47:05 <Spaceshot> scatter dice is different than direction dice
19:47:17 <Brunius> No shit?
19:47:29 <Brunius> [19:46:49] <Brunius> I have scatter dice for 40k :D
19:47:30 <Brunius> [19:47:10] <Brunius> So they probably work nearly as well
19:47:34 <Brunius> Nearly as well
19:47:36 <Spaceshot> [07:16.35] <@Avatar> you can actually get dice that, instead of having numbers, it has directions
19:47:39 <Spaceshot> XD
19:50:50 <Mort-> I serusly dont like splash though...
19:50:58 <Mort-> as in cone stuff, though Im getting better wtih it
19:51:02 <Spaceshot> splash is a bit average
19:51:04 <Mort-> burnng hands...? MMph
19:51:05 <Spaceshot> unless you're an alchemist
19:51:22 <Mort-> nah. I am Mort the unatural critter exterminator.
19:51:33 <Mort-> do you have a critter of unatural orgin?
19:51:39 <Mort-> dial up the resident wizzie number today!
19:51:53 <Mort-> Will deal with any unatural critters that you have problems with
19:52:23 <Mort-> Also will deal with nasty casters in a hurry, and cases of too many mobs..however the regular gobbie is your problem :P
19:53:33 <Brunius> I think I will just bring one set of dice to this con
19:53:41 <Brunius> Maybe two if one set goes really badly
19:54:55 <Ballig> use electronic dice
19:55:00 <Brunius> No.
19:55:18 <Ballig> do it
19:55:21 <Ballig> use electronic dice
19:55:25 <Brunius> No.
19:55:38 <Mort-> will also run like hell when faced with a monk:P
19:55:45 * Mort- zips off
19:55:57 <Ballig> I just saw the last line
19:55:59 <Ballig> and that was a bit worrying
19:56:34 <Avatar> I don't know if the GMs will let you
19:56:38 <Mort-> which part :P
19:56:39 <Ballig> they wouldn't :p
19:56:44 <Avatar> imagine if you showed up with your own pre-programmed dice
19:56:45 <Mort-> the zipping off?
19:56:48 <Ballig> haha
19:56:53 <Avatar> on your nokia phone
19:57:04 <Ballig> I was more thinking those electronic dice you can buy that just display a random number on them
19:57:05 <Brunius> Ha
19:57:08 <Ballig> but even those you could reprogram
19:57:14 <Ballig> so that if you pressed the button a certain way it would "roll" high
19:57:29 <Avatar> "everyone roll perception" "look at that.... 20 again !"
19:57:33 <Brunius> Ha
19:58:23 <Ballig> haha
19:58:36 <Ballig> "That's my fourth critical hit in a row! Ha ha! What are the odd?!"
19:58:42 <Ballig> +s
20:18:02 <***> Buffer Playback...
20:18:02 <***> Playback Complete.
20:18:08 <Avatar> 3d6+10, mort, I think it is
20:18:12 <Ballig> yeah that's it
20:18:28 <Ballig> (as long as you don't hold me to that the next time you GM for Bobbob)
20:18:57 <Avatar> you know me, by the book
20:19:04 <Ballig> it's 3d6+30
20:20:30 <Avatar> are you paying attention mort
20:20:54 <Avatar> she's missing the best part of this conversation
20:22:28 * Mort- pokes
20:22:29 <Mort-> what?
20:22:32 <Mort-> I went out..
20:22:39 <Mort-> 3d6+30?
20:22:41 <Mort-> to get changed
20:22:44 <Mort-> Im leaving the house soon
20:22:51 <Mort-> why does smal lsize help charg
20:22:55 <Mort-> nevermind. IOll read cavalier
20:23:06 <Ballig> because cavaliers charge on a mount
20:23:09 <Mort-> but its so funny
20:23:13 <Ballig> if you are medium, then you are large size on a horse
20:23:14 <Mort-> you mean a gnome charges right up to you
20:23:17 <Mort-> and pwns your bum? :P
20:23:17 <Ballig> and it's really hard to get around as a large creature
20:23:24 <Mort-> ah I see
20:23:26 <Mort-> but your a gnome
20:23:28 <Ballig> as a small character my cavalier rides a wolf, and is just medium
20:23:29 <Mort-> u ride a pony?
20:23:30 <Mort-> wolf
20:23:31 <Mort-> :D
20:23:32 <Mort-> cool :D
20:23:36 <Mort-> so you're one square?
20:23:38 <Avatar> mekkis' gnome does it on a druid, on a flying mount, and gets even more damage
20:23:40 <Ballig> yeah one square
20:23:44 <Mort-> oh man. Tiny, but fierce
20:23:46 <Mort-> but wow
20:23:48 <Mort-> GNOMES
20:23:52 <Mort-> flying mounts
20:23:55 <Mort-> can I get a griffin? :P
20:23:55 <Ballig> Mekkis gets more damage because he has 2 more strength
20:23:56 <Mort-> lol
20:23:58 <Mort-> ah k
20:24:06 <Avatar> a lot more damage though isn't it
20:24:14 <Ballig> it's due to the strength, though
20:24:19 <Ballig> because two-handed is 1.5 strength modifier
20:24:23 <Ballig> and then charge is x3 that
20:24:55 <Ballig> actually he has more strength than that, he has +4
20:24:57 <Ballig> and Bobbob has +2
20:25:26 <Mort-> but flying moutn
20:25:27 <Ballig> so my damage bonus from strength is +3, and his is +6
20:25:29 <Mort-> doesnt it affect the gameplay alot?
20:25:32 <Ballig> and then x3 means a difference of +9
20:25:34 <Mort-> imagine, you can FLY anywhere you want
20:25:41 <Mort-> fly from city to city
20:25:49 <Mort-> no more goblins on the floor..
20:25:50 <Ballig> yeah it does affect gameplay a lot
20:25:52 <Mort-> fly above them!
20:25:57 <Ballig> it's basically easy mode
20:25:59 <Mort-> no more brigand problems
20:26:03 <Mort-> yeah
20:26:09 <Mort-> shouldnt be allowed flying mounts :P
20:26:16 <Ballig> I agree, at that level
20:26:20 <Brunius> Mort- You can have that pseudodragon as a familiar
20:26:22 <Mort-> you skip 3/4 the encounters
20:26:23 <Mort-> I will
20:26:26 <Mort-> when I get to 4
20:26:29 <Mort-> I intend too
20:26:30 <Mort-> to
20:26:36 <Brunius> I just reread the additional resources page
20:26:36 <Mort-> oh man..but poor socks :(
20:26:40 <Mort-> I like socks..
20:26:40 <Brunius> You need improved familiar
20:30:10 <Mort-> yeah
20:30:15 <Mort-> will get it when time comes..
20:30:55 <Mort-> but its level 7
20:30:56 <Mort-> not yet
20:30:59 <Mort-> Ill keep socks :D
20:34:16 <Mort-> u can use small elementals as familiarS?
20:35:29 <Brunius> Can you?
20:43:04 <Avatar> 6 isn't too low a str score is it

20:43:48 <Avatar> 6 isn't too low a str score is it
20:51:01 <Ballig> for what
20:51:07 <Avatar> summoner
20:51:09 <Ballig> you should go 5
20:51:18 <Avatar> you recko
20:51:18 <Avatar> n
20:51:19 <Ballig> gnome with base 7 strength
20:51:40 <Avatar> I don't think that really helps me point buy
20:51:54 <Ballig> it'll give you heaps more to work with!
20:51:56 <Avatar> could only really put it in int without sacrificing something else
20:52:04 <Avatar> for 1 more skill point and 1 more language
20:52:06 <Ballig> and you will still be able to carry 16 pounds of equipment

20:52:24 <Avatar> are you rattling my chain or are you serious
20:52:29 <Ballig> I'm rattling your chain
20:52:41 <Avatar> you think 6 is too low
20:52:44 <Ballig> a bit
20:52:53 <Avatar> for a halfling?
20:52:56 <Avatar> everything weighs half as much
20:52:57 <Ballig> a single hit from a shadow could kill you
20:53:08 <Avatar> I don't think Snake will run into a shadow
20:54:29 <Ballig> okay :p
20:54:48 <Avatar> I could lower my dex back down to compensate for the new boost I got
20:55:04 <Avatar> but then I still get one more wasted point
20:55:07 <Ballig> what stats are you looking at, pre racial modifier
20:55:25 <Avatar> 8/14/14/10/12/16
20:55:38 <Spaceshot> what class?
20:55:38 <Avatar> halfling is -2 str, +2 dex, +2 cha
20:55:41 <Avatar> summoner
20:55:41 <Ballig> summoner
20:55:44 <Spaceshot> heh
20:55:46 <Spaceshot> synth?
20:55:47 <Ballig> so wisdom is a summoner's main stat?
20:55:48 <Ballig> no
20:55:53 <Ballig> er
20:55:54 <Avatar> cha
20:55:55 <Ballig> charisma, sorry
20:55:56 <Ballig> not wisdom
20:56:09 <Ballig> what do you use wisdom for
20:56:16 <Avatar> seeing things
20:56:22 <Avatar> I guess I could drop that
20:56:25 <Ballig> perception, basically?
20:56:28 <Avatar> but str seems much less helpful
20:56:30 <Avatar> yeah
20:57:04 <Spaceshot> wis is also will save
20:57:07 <Ballig> you know you're going to freak out about carrying capacity
20:57:16 <Avatar> not after I get muleback cords
20:57:18 <Spaceshot> but I don't see both perception and will save making a 14 wisdom worth it
20:57:23 <Ballig> that will be level 2 minimum
20:57:25 <Avatar> and armor weighs half as much!
20:57:27 <Ballig> like after 5 scenarios
20:57:34 <Avatar> this is like a medium character with a 12 str
20:57:42 <Avatar> or a 10 maybe
20:57:50 <Avatar> I'll have a crossbow maybe
20:57:53 <Ballig> I play a small character too you know :p
20:57:58 <Spaceshot> just give your eidolon your excess gear
20:58:06 <Avatar> yeah but I don't freak out over your character's carrying capacity
20:58:16 <Avatar> my eidolon is a serpent
20:58:22 <Avatar> I don't think he can carry shit
20:58:38 <Ballig> ha
20:58:39 <Ballig> buy an exotic backpack
20:59:26 <Avatar> you make a good point about the wisdom, they could be better spent in str
21:00:08 <Spaceshot> why str?
21:00:15 <Avatar> which would give me 26lb instead of 20lb
21:00:22 <Ballig> http://www.decodeunicode.org/data/glyph/196x196/2318.gif
21:00:23 <Avatar> I hate medium loads
21:00:25 <Ballig> what would that symbol mean
21:00:27 <Ballig> on a list of equipment
21:00:33 <Ballig> between the quantity and item name
21:00:45 <Avatar> weight I guess
21:00:52 <Spaceshot> weight or pg number
21:00:53 <Avatar> I thought it meant quantity actually
21:00:56 <Ballig> there's already a weight column
21:01:51 <Ballig> I think it might mean "point of interest"
21:01:57 <Ballig> but I'm not sure what that would mean, still, in this use
21:03:24 <Avatar> enhancement bonus
21:03:33 <Avatar> like enhancement 'point'(s)
21:03:35 <Avatar> get it
21:03:46 <Ballig> it's regular equipment
21:03:49 <Ballig> there's a separate area for magic items
21:03:50 <Avatar> as in 'I'm interested' in enhancement 'points'
21:04:54 <Avatar> my charisma might not actually need to be as high as it is
21:04:55 <Ballig> I am interested in insight bonuses
21:05:05 <Ballig> what do you use charisma for
21:05:14 <Avatar> summoning monsters
21:05:34 <Avatar> needs to be at least 16
21:05:51 <Ballig> do you get regular spells
21:05:57 <Avatar> summoner spells
21:06:36 <Avatar> wow that is unclear
21:06:52 <Spaceshot> how is it unclear?
21:07:16 <Spaceshot> if it's unclear, don't take it XD
21:07:49 <Avatar> might drop it down
21:07:57 <Ballig> do you expect to use the Summon Monster spell-like ability
21:08:07 <Avatar> hardly ever, if ever
21:08:14 <Avatar> if things go badly I might use it
21:08:17 <Ballig> what about other spells the summoner has
21:08:19 <Ballig> I interpret it as being any d20 roll, not just vs. fear
21:08:26 <Spaceshot> any d20 roll
21:08:30 <Spaceshot> only rerolling a 1
21:08:33 <Avatar> the thing is summoners don't get many casts per day at all
21:08:34 <Ballig> yeah
21:08:42 <Avatar> 1,2 and 3 slots at levels 1 2 and 3
21:08:43 <Ballig> yeah
21:08:44 Mort- has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
21:08:45 <Spaceshot> they do if you don't have an eidolon
21:08:46 <Ballig> 1 first level spell
21:08:55 <Ballig> why would you be a summoner without an eidolon
21:09:17 <Spaceshot> well they did make eidolons way too strong compared to the alternative
21:09:24 <Spaceshot> which is awesome summoner monster spell-likes
21:10:14 <Mort-> Eternal Hope: Gnomes rarely lose hope and are always confident that even hopeless situations will work out. Gnomes with this racial trait receive a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against fear and despair effects. Once per day, after rolling a 1 on a d20, the gnome may reroll and use the second result. This racial trait replaces the defensive training and hatred racial Traits.
21:10:15 <Mort-> yeah
21:10:16 <Mort-> 1 only
21:10:19 <Mort-> how likely is that?
21:10:20 <Mort-> not really
21:10:25 <Ballig> 5% chance every time you roll
21:10:50 <Avatar> it's sort of like improved critical though
21:11:09 <Mort-> Ranger: Add DR 1/magic to the ranger’s animal companion. Each time the ranger selects this benefit, the DR/magic increases by +1/2 (maximum DR 10/magic). If the gnome ever replaces his animal companion, the new companion gains this DR.
21:11:09 <Avatar> only not with a guaranteed success on that extra number
21:11:11 <Mort-> this is coool though
21:11:17 <Mort-> but again, higher level monsters are all magic?
21:11:42 <Avatar> I don't think they're all anything
21:11:50 <Mort-> as inconsidered as magic attack
21:11:53 <Mort-> DR is ubbberrrr...
21:12:18 <Mort-> iamgine your average guy with a pointy stick
21:12:24 <Mort-> sticks your lion and bounces..
21:12:26 <Mort-> becuase of DR
21:12:40 Spaceshot_tm2 ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
21:12:58 <Avatar> I can't bring myself to play a gnome
21:13:25 <Jaggedsoul> DR is great
21:13:27 Spaceshot has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
21:13:46 <Mort-> gnome ranger. Mort incarnation part 2. :P
21:13:52 <Mort-> but gnomes arent suited to be rangers
21:14:21 Jaggedsoul has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
21:14:22 <Jaggedsoul> I created an 7th level armor master with adamantine full-plate and 30 ft base speed
21:14:27 <Ballig> I don't like gnomes either
21:14:28 <Mort-> waaaaaow
21:14:38 <Mort-> u dont like shorties :P
21:14:43 <Jaggedsoul> good luck hitting me and if you do, good luck damaging me
21:14:43 <Mort-> but the DR on animal companion is useful
21:14:51 <Mort-> more likely
21:14:52 <Ballig> gnome in fact was one of the worst choices for a cavalier
21:14:54 <Ballig> but I chose it at random
21:14:54 <Mort-> some nasty spell caster
21:15:02 <Ballig> -2 strength on a melee character
21:15:03 <Mort-> will sling fireballs at you
21:15:06 <Mort-> hehe
21:15:15 <Mort-> but the two weapon fighting style for ranger...
21:15:18 <Mort-> dex lots, str not so much
21:15:52 <Ballig> I'm talking about my cavalier :p
21:16:01 <Mort-> yrsh
21:16:04 <Mort-> yeah cavaliers need str :(
21:16:05 <Avatar> but it worked out because of small size right
21:16:07 * Mort- sniffs
21:16:08 <Mort-> nah
21:16:14 <Mort-> I bet his base dmg isnt reallly that good still
21:16:18 <Avatar> really
21:16:23 <Ballig> yeah, quite by luck really
21:16:24 <Avatar> tell her how much damage you do ballig
21:16:28 <Ballig> I could have ended up having issues like Thawne in CotE
21:16:30 <Avatar> on a charge
21:16:39 <Ballig> I don't know, like 1d6 or something
21:23:06 <Mekkis> Spaceshot_tm2, you haven't proven yourself to be adept enough before playing one
21:24:43 <Spaceshot_tm2> this about the summoner reference?
21:25:36 <Spaceshot_tm2> because mekkis, I really don't give a fuck about your views on subjects inwhich I dont care about your views on
21:25:38 <Spaceshot_tm2> given or not
21:26:21 <Ballig> settle
21:26:35 <Spaceshot_tm2> I'm very calm and collected
21:26:45 <Spaceshot_tm2> just stating some facts is all
21:54:15 <Avatar> roll one up spaceshot
21:54:54 <Spaceshot_tm2> why?
21:54:58 <Spaceshot_tm2> I doubt I'd ever use it
21:55:21 <Brunius> So you can prove Mekkis wrong
21:55:34 <Avatar> and you might end up using it
21:55:37 <Avatar> if it's ready to go
21:55:38 <Spaceshot_tm2> I don't care about mekkis' view or not
21:55:49 <Avatar> neither do I
21:55:50 <Avatar> just do it anyway
21:55:58 <Spaceshot_tm2> not that was for brunius
21:56:06 <Avatar> I know
21:56:12 <Avatar> I'm making characters I may never use
21:56:17 <Avatar> but you never know, I might
21:56:35 <Spaceshot_tm2> good for you
21:56:55 <Ballig> GREAT for him
21:56:56 <Avatar> well that's why I'm suggesting you should try
21:57:04 <Avatar> I'm not having a go at you
21:57:27 <Spaceshot_tm2> never said you were
22:03:08 <Spaceshot_tm2> have better things to do with my brain power XD
22:03:11 <Spaceshot_tm2> atm
22:03:48 <Ballig> that's a lie
22:03:48 <Spaceshot_tm2> clearly you know my life
22:05:37 <Avatar> you don't understand how good it would be to roll up a summoner
22:06:42 <Spaceshot_tm2> I'll find the meaning of life? all my problems will be solved? life's mysteries unravelled before my eyes?
22:06:55 <Ballig> the second one
22:07:33 <Spaceshot_tm2> so it'll solve all my issues?
22:07:54 <Ballig> yes, if all your issues in some way stem from not having a level 1 summoner for pathfinder society
22:08:15 <Spaceshot_tm2> I like your logic

22:17:50 <Avatar> and Barmaley hasn't
22:17:55 <Spaceshot> yay, more 40k talk XD
22:17:57 <Avatar> maybe we should do a couple of first steps tables before anything else
22:18:41 <Barmaley> what havent i?
22:18:57 <Barmaley> and what did 40k ever do to you, man? :, (

22:27:13 <Barmaley> avatar, i just took a loot at the character sheet, it looks pretty confusing
22:27:20 <Avatar> what part
22:27:20 <Barmaley> do i have to read the whole core book first?
22:27:26 <Avatar> no
22:27:34 <Avatar> start with choosing a class you think you'd like to play
22:28:07 <Barmaley> yeah but i dont know what the options are
22:28:09 <Barmaley> or where
22:28:10 <Tashes> Did hydra find his way in here while i was out?
22:28:13 <Barmaley> im looking at this right now http://dnd.ballig.net/charsheets/Character%20Sheet%20Template%20%28Pathfinder%20Society%29.txt
22:28:23 <Avatar> didn't see any Hydra
22:28:30 <Tashes> k
22:28:34 <Tashes> i'll pester him tomorrow
22:28:41 <Avatar> sweet
22:28:42 <Tashes> baby's sleeping now
22:28:50 <Avatar> are you not going to come if hydra ends up not coming
22:29:00 <Tashes> i'll come regardless
22:29:05 <Avatar> damn right !
22:29:10 <Tashes> ;o
22:29:54 <Tashes> unless shit happens and i'm painting the house or going to the vet or pushing a car or something.
22:30:55 <Avatar> yeah that's fine
22:32:10 <Barmaley> do i need the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play (PFRPG) PDF ?
22:32:24 <Avatar> yes
22:32:25 <Avatar> it's free
22:32:34 <Avatar> despite the fact it looks like you have to pay for it
22:32:42 <Barmaley> is there any way to get it without having to make an paizo account for it?
22:32:51 <Avatar> you need a paizo account anyway

22:35:56 <Ballig> where the threat of dwarf porn is real
22:36:28 <Barmaley> that puts my worries to rest, tashes

22:43:50 <Ballig> I mean really, what do we know about them
22:43:54 <Ballig> except that they both live in adelaide

22:44:16 <Ballig> haha oh no
22:44:16 <Avatar> and opposite attracts
22:44:19 <Ballig> not a half hour drive
22:44:23 <Tashes> adelaide's a long straight city.
22:44:24 <Avatar> opposites* attract
22:44:27 <Tashes> it's more like three hours
22:44:27 <Avatar> yeah I see it now

22:46:06 <Tashes> Ballig, only 'cos the usa threw me out
22:46:18 <Ballig> :p
22:46:30 <Ballig> that's why you're meant to do a quickie greencard marriage while you're there
22:46:30 <Avatar> I'd get you to defect closer this way, but you seem to have a thing for opposites
22:47:15 <Barmaley> oh lord, this thing is 33 huge pdf pages long
22:47:18 <Barmaley> gonna take a while
22:47:31 <Avatar> you don't have to read it all
22:47:34 <Avatar> go to chapter 2
22:47:43 <Avatar> there's steps there on how to create your character
22:48:09 <Avatar> it doesn't say to, but you should choose your class first
22:48:17 <Avatar> then go back and choose your abilities and race
22:50:46 Spaceshot has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
22:51:49 <Barmaley> k senks, ill try that
22:53:05 <Avatar> ask us for anything, but if it gets to be too much, you can just use a pregen character instead
22:55:33 <Barmaley> it says that i shall choose the race and classes from from the core rulebook
22:57:32 <Barmaley> but i dont have that :(
22:57:45 <Avatar> it's on the getting started page
22:59:18 <Barmaley> Pathfinder SRD?
22:59:43 <Avatar> any of those 3
23:00:00 <Avatar> one you pay for and looks pretty, one is free and is no frills, the other is an online wiki
23:00:32 <Barmaley> ah right
23:00:49 <Barmaley> what, dwarves get -2 charisma? blasphemy
23:00:59 <Barmaley> their beards should be worth a t least 50
23:01:17 <Avatar> yeah but looks alone a charismatic person does not make
23:02:25 <Barmaley> hmmm
23:03:14 <Barmaley> i wont be getting anything with the word half- in it
23:03:20 <Barmaley> beside halflings
23:03:25 <Barmaley> that would be an insult to tolkien
23:03:49 <Barmaley> and gnomes are stuff of fairy tales
23:04:12 <Barmaley> and omg they have +2 charisma, riiiiiiight
23:05:50 <Avatar> they'll charm your pants once they tell you about their gnomish reroll
23:06:22 <Barmaley> fairy tales
23:06:51 <Avatar> oh it's no fairy tale
23:07:00 <Avatar> although you wouldn't be faulted for beliving it is
23:07:04 <Avatar> believing*
23:08:15 <Barmaley> human adulthood - 15 years........
23:08:26 <Avatar> + at least 1
23:08:46 <Avatar> where are you located
23:09:43 <Barmaley> are there any restrictions as to what class i can choose as a dwarf
23:10:21 <Avatar> nope
23:10:23 <Avatar> pick your favourite
23:10:28 <Avatar> that's why you choose class first
23:10:36 <Barmaley> ah k
23:11:49 Spaceshot ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
23:12:36 <Barmaley> and every choice i make i have to write down on my char sheet, right?
23:14:18 <Avatar> of course
23:16:57 Spaceshot has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
23:17:23 <Barmaley> is it advisable to start with a core class as a nub? or could i also choose a base class too?
23:22:12 <Avatar> whatever you like really
23:22:16 <Avatar> what classes are you looking at
23:22:18 <Avatar> on your shortlist
23:22:59 <Barmaley> inquisitor
23:23:06 <Tashes> <Avatar> I might run a scenario I've actually played before on thursday
23:23:06 <Tashes> <Avatar> not sure why I decided to pick a brand new one
23:23:09 <Tashes> you should run the one i'm in
23:23:56 <Avatar> you're in either of them, since you've played hardly anything
