00:11:50 <Mekkis> yay for 104 questions
00:11:57 <Mekkis> brought to you by gov.au
00:15:09 <matt> Haha.
00:15:29 <Mekkis> it seems to be in fashion for job interviews
00:15:46 <matt> Our prime minister eats babies. Top that
00:17:06 <matt> Hey Mekkis Do you think a cleric is a good idea? I've been kicking aroun that idea but now sure
00:17:15 <matt> Not sure
00:17:23 <Mekkis> no idea
00:17:33 <Mekkis> I don't have much experience with clerics in pathfinder
00:17:48 <Mekkis> and my 3.5e experience was tainted by a bunch of 3.5e splat
00:17:53 <Mekkis> o
00:17:56 <matt> Ahh.
00:17:57 <Mekkis> except for Ghandi
00:17:59 <matt> Haha
00:18:00 <Mekkis> he was great!
00:18:12 <Mekkis> macros don't always work
00:18:20 <Mekkis> and in some case, they're detrimental
00:19:04 <matt> Ya. Idk. I think it will help players staying alive. I might do one. Oh I'll get my friend to sign up as well
00:19:48 <Avatar> clerics raise a party's survivability considerably
00:19:49 <matt> I think he has 3 pfs char of various levels
00:20:28 <Mekkis> http://montecook.livejournal.com/251404.html
00:20:32 <Mekkis> he left WotC!
00:20:42 <matt> Combat cleric makes more sense right?
00:20:48 <Mort-> going to zz sooon
00:20:53 <Mort-> night alllzzzzzzzzz...
00:20:55 Mort- has quit (Quit: )
00:20:57 <matt> The. Nite
00:21:00 <Avatar> what other cleric is there
00:21:16 <matt> Haha. Healing and buff bitch type
00:21:32 <Hydrazine> I think combat cleric was stronger in 3.5.
00:21:32 <Avatar> just don't make the mistake I made and do a 10 str/10 dex cleric
00:21:46 <Avatar> and keep in mind even a heal build will need to do more than just heal
00:21:51 <Hydrazine> you don't get heavy armor without a feat now, and the 3/4th bab hurts you some.
00:21:51 Mort- ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
00:22:03 <Avatar> clerics don't get many good spells until level 5+
00:22:32 <matt> They do buff nicely thought
00:22:41 Sachiru has quit (Quit: Shutting Down )
00:23:15 <Avatar> I think you'd be more of a help getting into the thick of it rather than buffing
00:23:52 <Avatar> I don't think most buffs work that well
00:23:52 <matt> Ya true.
00:24:07 <Avatar> witches have two hexes - misfortune (a debuff) and fortune (a buff)
00:24:30 <Avatar> and misfortune is much better because the way they work is that you can only use each hex on a person once every 24 hours
00:24:36 <Avatar> just like how you have spells
00:24:53 <Mort-> Why is it you never have enough hexes
00:24:54 <Avatar> when you use a debuff like misfortune on a bad guy, they are debuffed then they die
00:25:08 <Avatar> when you use a buff like fortune on a party member, they use it up for a short while then it's gone
00:25:25 <Avatar> and you want to use it again later but you can't and you're a buff down
00:25:26 <Hydrazine> I intend to make a witch and give it a shot
00:25:30 <Mort-> Lol
00:25:41 <Avatar> intend to give fortune a shot?
00:25:48 <Hydrazine> Both of them
00:25:53 <Mort-> He wants to be a witch
00:25:55 <Avatar> think about it man
00:25:58 <Avatar> that's what happens
00:26:08 <Mort-> Uh. Do i have to bring a scythe?
00:26:11 <Avatar> say a scenario has 4 encounters and you have to complete them in a day or two
00:26:26 <Avatar> you'll be using misfortune on every single npc you come across
00:26:32 <Avatar> you'll be using fortune once on each party member
00:26:35 <Mekkis> negative energy channeling cleric works nicely
00:26:50 <Mekkis> Mort-, roll up a druid!
00:26:55 <Mekkis> with a scythe
00:26:56 <Mort-> No
00:27:09 <Mort-> Not interested in being a druid
00:27:16 <Mort-> Just doing it because he asked me to
00:27:57 <Mort-> Why would i even want to be a druid
00:28:00 <matt> Is adeuid playable?
00:28:12 <Mort-> I have a higher chance of being a cleric or oracle
00:28:30 <Hydrazine> Druids are playable.
00:28:34 <Hydrazine> Whats wrong with them?
00:28:35 <Mort-> If they are gnomes riding on rocs sure :p
00:28:37 <Mekkis> druids are very playable
00:28:40 <Hydrazine> Its easy. Be small. Get a roc.
00:28:46 <Mort-> Lol but i dunno
00:28:51 <Mekkis> Hydrazine, doesn't work anymore :)
00:28:56 <Hydrazine> Oh?
00:28:58 <Mort-> They also come with charge
00:29:05 <Mort-> You need ant haul
00:29:09 <Mekkis> Heirloom Weapon doesn't give you a masterwork weapon :S
00:29:17 <Avatar> I'm playing a druid
00:29:21 <Mort-> Rocs do not have shoulder slots!
00:29:30 <Avatar> a druid archetype, but that's only because I don't like the default druid setup personally
00:29:36 <Avatar> everyone thinks I'm crazy to choose what I chose
00:29:41 <Mekkis> Mort-, you're not saying things correctly
00:30:01 <Mekkis> As of the errata in April 2012, Rocs no longer have shoulder slots :)
00:30:02 <Avatar> don't advise matt to create a grolschmir
00:30:10 <Mort-> Yeah
00:30:19 <Mort-> I'm typing by cell
00:30:28 <Avatar> Mekkis: as of the errata in april 2012, rocs officially don't have shoulder slots
00:30:31 <matt> Do you use your druid summon a lot
00:30:41 <Mekkis> matt, never used it
00:30:43 <Avatar> but let's face facts, they never had them
00:30:51 <Mekkis> Grolschmir has 13 wisdom
00:30:55 <Mort-> He thinks he is a charging gnome
00:31:03 nodwik_sleep_then_work ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
00:31:07 <Mekkis> he's an Eagle Knight
00:31:18 <Hydrazine> More like a Roc Knight
00:31:22 <Mekkis> Every Andoran should have a falcon
00:31:28 <Mekkis> Grolschmir just found a big one
00:31:51 <Avatar> and a big lance
00:32:18 <Mekkis> no. That was inherited
00:32:22 <Mekkis> he now has three lances!
00:32:53 <Mekkis> and the Hide of Enkendu!
00:34:33 <mortswishytail> Who is he
00:34:37 <mortswishytail> I don't bony
00:34:39 <mortswishytail> Know
00:35:10 * Mort- is a noob
00:38:46 <Mort-> Whats that hide
00:39:00 <Mekkis> Enkendu
00:39:04 <Mekkis> the dragon
00:39:57 farda12 ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
00:40:09 <farda12> (( Hi ))
00:40:22 <Hydrazine> Hi.
00:40:35 <farda12> Can I ask a question?
00:40:42 <Hydrazine> I guess I can't stop you.
00:40:53 <farda12> Im here to play D&D but what is PFS? I heard it first time
00:41:14 <Hydrazine> Pathfinder!
00:41:19 <farda12> Oh
00:41:20 <Hydrazine> What sort of D&D have you played?
00:41:23 <farda12> I just see it
00:41:38 <farda12> Well actually I never played before but I read almost everything about it
00:41:48 <Hydrazine> Which edition?
00:41:58 <farda12> 4
00:41:59 <Hydrazine> It matters. Possibly quite alot.
00:42:08 <farda12> Oh ok
00:42:24 <farda12> So what is the time right now in the servers
00:42:30 <Hydrazine> We mostly play Pathfinder here, which is alot closer in rules to D&D 3.5
00:42:47 <Hydrazine> Which is on the surface close to 4E, and below it completely something else.
00:43:01 <farda12> hmm good Ill learn about it
00:43:16 <farda12> Ill complete some character sheets
00:43:20 <Hydrazine> I think its something like midnight for channel server time.
00:43:23 <Mort-> Bring him the book hydra
00:43:25 <Mort-> Lol
00:43:32 <Mort-> I'm on cell
00:43:35 <Mort-> And lazy
00:43:41 <Hydrazine> Do I look like a book deliveryman to you?
00:44:05 <Mort-> Yes
00:44:12 * Mort- starts hiding
00:44:19 <Hydrazine> So check this out.
00:44:19 <Hydrazine> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/newbie_guide.htm
00:44:34 <Mort-> See?
00:44:49 * Mort- throws hydra a cookie
00:44:53 <farda12> Thanks Ill check it till the game time
00:45:23 <Hydrazine> What game?
00:45:33 <Mort-> Next game is scheduled next weekend
00:45:41 <Mort-> You have a whole week to read :d
00:45:55 <Hydrazine> Another useful resource: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/
00:46:34 <Hydrazine> Ideally you'd get (somehow) either physical or pdf versions of the actual books and read those. Start with the core rulebook.
00:46:49 <Mort-> For that
00:46:52 <Mort-> There is uh
00:46:56 <Mort-> Google :-)
00:46:57 <Hydrazine> But that site has alot of very good stuff, and mostly accurate. Though not everything is pathfinder society legal.
00:47:22 <Hydrazine> They also update from game changes and errata very quickly, which i like.
00:47:32 <Mekkis> the paizo site is one place to get the books, if you don't mind paying a little
00:47:47 <Mort-> Shh there is Google!
00:47:54 * Mort- squeaks
00:48:10 <Hydrazine> I figured this new person is a smart fellow/lady that can figure out a way to get a book they desire.
00:48:30 <Hydrazine> If you do want to play Pathfinder with us, cool. Feel free to ask questions here.
00:48:30 <Mekkis> I think Avatar still has an xdcc server
00:48:35 <Mort-> I can't say stuff.
00:54:04 <Mekkis> you guys need to convince Itzamna to change his path
00:54:13 <Avatar> old news mekkis
00:54:15 <Mekkis> or he'll be an asmodeus-worshipping slaver
00:54:25 <Mort-> Never got a chance
00:54:28 <Mort-> To even see him
00:54:28 <Avatar> it's been all over g+
00:54:29 <Mekkis> yes you did
00:54:35 <Mort-> No
00:54:40 farda123 ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
00:54:42 <Mort-> That was before you started
00:54:49 farda12 has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
00:54:50 farda123 is now known as farda12
00:54:52 <Mort-> On the slavery business
00:54:54 <Hydrazine> Are you asking me to consciously interfere with a character's roleplay, Mek?
00:55:10 <Mort-> Well he got tainted by someone bad
00:55:29 <Mort-> We need to find that inquisitor in question and crate him up
00:55:32 <Mort-> Kidding.
00:55:39 <Mort-> Just smack him over the head
00:56:08 <Mort-> Mek let other people intefere with him
00:56:10 <Mort-> :d
00:56:15 <Mekkis> Hydrazine, I'm asking your character to try and influence my character... Itzamna is very influencable
00:56:23 <farda12> test
00:56:29 <Hydrazine> Howdy Farda.
00:56:30 <Mekkis> failed
00:56:33 <farda12> Good
00:56:36 <Mort-> We need to sit in the same scenario first
00:56:45 <Hydrazine> I don't believe I currenctly have anyone in Itzamna's level range, Mekkis.
00:56:45 <farda12> Just trying to test the colored text
00:56:52 <Mekkis> oh
00:56:55 <Mort-> And we haven't seen itz for weeks
00:56:55 <Mekkis> that TPK
00:57:00 <Mort-> Lol
00:57:03 <Mort-> ^^
00:57:13 <Hydrazine> My highest is currently a 2.
00:57:36 <Mort-> Well there is mort.
00:58:06 <Mort-> "Currently on vacation"
00:58:56 <Hydrazine> I'll be alot further on making a witch once I get base stats worked out.
00:59:43 <Avatar> I have a what now?
00:59:44 <Mort-> 18 int :p
00:59:50 <Avatar> what's an xdcc server
01:00:55 <MekkisScreen> avatar
01:01:15 <MekkisScreen> minecraft server should be up at 108.174.58.2
01:01:20 <Avatar> cool
01:01:20 <MekkisScreen> chicago
01:01:22 <Mort-> 10 for all stats except for cons dex and int
01:01:42 <Mort-> Go elf and get 18 int 16 dex 12 cons
01:02:00 <Avatar> an easy way to start point buy is to just pick 4 stats you like and set them as 14, keep the other two at 10
01:02:00 <MekkisScreen> I'll get DNS for it working later...
01:02:20 <Avatar> don't really need it, it saves servers
01:02:34 <MekkisScreen> yeah, but I do :/
01:02:39 <Avatar> port ?
01:02:48 <MekkisScreen> 25565
01:02:52 <MekkisScreen> I think
01:02:53 <MekkisScreen> oh
01:02:55 <Hydrazine> Have you done so on anyone?
01:03:03 <MekkisScreen> centos has iptables by default
01:03:17 <MekkisScreen> or not
01:03:19 <Avatar> yeah, on my last 4 or so characters
01:03:23 <Avatar> once I figured out it was possible
01:03:29 <Avatar> is it up yet
01:03:32 <Avatar> I don't keep them there
01:03:40 <Mort-> Mort stats are that of 18 16 12
01:03:40 <MekkisScreen> should be
01:03:43 <Avatar> you put them at 14 and then you start rejigging them
01:03:46 <Avatar> can't poll it
01:03:56 <Mort-> Dump stats all 10
01:04:05 <Avatar> good way to keep a healthy con too
01:04:15 <Avatar> because it'll almost guaranteed be one of the 14s
01:04:22 <Avatar> you might decide to lower it to 12, but you're unlikely to go to 10
01:04:34 <Avatar> 12 is okay, 14 is better
01:04:48 <Avatar> I've seen bad things happen with a 10 con more than once
01:05:18 <Avatar> even a bad character will probably do okay with a 14 con
01:05:18 <Mekkis> http://www.10news.com/news/15221470/detail.html
01:05:39 <Mekkis> 12 12 12 12 14 15
01:06:05 <Avatar> haha
01:06:28 <Avatar> Mekkis: that looks like hardcore hurt me plenty stats
01:07:00 <Mekkis> Avatar, that's Itzamna's stats
01:07:26 <Avatar> does itzamna meet the other criteria
01:07:44 <Avatar> no, he's a summoner
01:09:19 <Avatar> for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about: https://plus.google.com/107575178826235648519/posts/Jm4WWKJcjVp
01:10:23 <Mekkis> for those of you who are new to this, before you consider taking that advise, answer the following question: "Have you ever felt that PFS was too easy?"
01:11:56 <Avatar> Mekkis: not working
01:15:03 <Avatar> I'm not suggesting everyone go on hurt me plenty rules at all
01:17:03 <Avatar> I don't think I'm gamey enough to ever create one
01:17:37 <Avatar> <Mekkis> I mean, when your modifiers are: -2 if making a full attack, +1 if blessed, +1 if hasted, +2 if fighting a human, +1 if within 30', -4 if shooting into cover; and your damage is +2+2d6 if fighting a human, +1 if within 30'
01:17:40 <Avatar> just noticed this
01:17:53 <Avatar> you don't have to keep track of all of that, and some of it you can prepare for quite well
01:18:28 <Avatar> some of it you probably shouldnt' prepare for - like bless and haste and cover
01:18:36 <Avatar> they're very situational
01:19:08 <Avatar> things like full attack and point blank shot and fighting humans is all related to your weapon and can be used at any time
01:19:17 <Avatar> those are the ones that generally don't change and you can prep
01:19:44 <Mekkis> I've only thought the game was too easy once
01:20:01 <Avatar> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/viewchar.php5?char=308 - check the weapons section
01:20:06 <Mekkis> and that was when Mytiazair cast Shadow Projection and was utterly invulnerable for the entire scenario
01:20:27 <Avatar> as long as you know what deadly aim and rapid shot are (which are explained under feats), you're set to go with that kind of setup
01:22:48 <Avatar> I have an excellent question
01:22:53 <Avatar> why are gnomes more popular than halflings
01:24:59 <Hydrazine> The crazy.
01:25:10 <Hydrazine> What makes this question excellent?
01:26:25 <Mekkis> because there's no such thing as an evil gnome!
01:26:49 <Mekkis> they have spell-like abilities!
01:27:14 <Hydrazine> The fact that you haven't encountered one says more about either how sneaky gnomes can be, or your judgement of character, than the presence or lack of, evil gnomes.
01:28:27 <Mort-> Cool :-)
01:33:08 <Avatar> Hydrazine: it's a big mystery
01:33:32 <Avatar> I've never seen a gnome in PFS use a spell like ability
01:34:05 <Avatar> I think I've seen one of mekkis' gnomes try to use dancing lights in a way that doesn't fit the spell description at all
01:38:37 <Hydrazine> Maybe they just tell you they can use spell like abilities.
01:38:42 <Hydrazine> Its a great big racial joke.
01:38:44 <MekkisScreen> Avatar, try now
01:39:04 <Hydrazine> This is what happens when stereotypes get out of hand, people.
01:39:41 <MekkisScreen> avatar, you shouldn't prepare for it before the game, but if during the game, the cleric casts bless, you should cater for that BEFORE it's your turn
01:41:55 <Avatar> yeah before it's your turn
01:42:10 <Avatar> easy enough to add +1 to attacks and/or damage when it comes up
01:42:42 <Avatar> I mean you can just pencil in a +1 next to those on your char sheet
01:42:55 <Avatar> you say whiteboard, but it's not rocket science :P

02:37:19 <Brunius> Avatar, is there some minecraft server going?
02:37:44 <Avatar> Mekkis started to set one up and it didn't work and he didn't reply
02:38:21 <Brunius> It works for me
02:38:26 <Brunius> 108.174.58.2
02:38:49 <Brunius> Can't tell if the lag is local or server induced though

03:33:07 <Steven> AFK!
03:34:13 <Mort-> Losin a battle to the z monster
03:34:18 <Mort-> While at work :(
03:34:59 <Steven> I had to change my shirt
03:35:09 <Steven> she splashed me with tons of water
03:35:15 <Steven> I probably deserved it
03:35:25 <Steven> somebody... im not going to say who... goosed her
03:35:57 <Steven> her dad designs buildings
03:36:11 <Steven> not like sky scrapers, just regular ones
03:37:16 <Mort-> Water isn't bad
03:37:26 <Mort-> I could use some on my face now
03:37:38 <Mort-> Before i lose the battle to the z monster
03:39:49 <Mort-> Gah
03:47:42 <Avatar> Mekkis: this server is too laggy
03:48:22 <Steven> sam came and sat down on my lap al wet after her shower
03:48:46 <Mort-> Avatar pwenty puease will you start 3 h early ?
03:49:01 * Mort- tries the puppy eyes trick on avatar
03:49:03 <Steven> so now my pants are wet. I seriously think shes tryin to get me naked.
03:49:32 <Steven> I am going to be taking off for the night guys, have fun. Mort.. good luck with that
03:49:46 <Mort-> If it happens. Don't tell me about it
03:49:55 * Mort- covers her ears
03:51:17 <Avatar> mort: no probably not
03:55:36 <Mort-> Why not :(
03:55:53 <Mort-> Hydra and matt and his friend are counting on you :(
03:56:14 <Mort-> You did start games at 9 am by time before :o
03:57:00 <Mort-> Basically if time is set at current. Matt needs to make a will save to stay awake to plan
03:57:02 <Mort-> Play
03:57:21 <Mort-> Failure to do so means only me and hydra = can't run lol
03:58:56 matt has quit (Quit: Colloquy for iPhone - http://colloquy.mobi)
03:59:09 <Mort-> I'm not subject to will save falling asleep on the times early or late on sat
03:59:29 <Avatar> I'll fail my will save if I have to wake up that early
04:00:30 <Avatar> I don't mind if someone else wants to run a game at 10 if that's easier
04:04:42 <Avatar> people really need to decline a session saying with a reason
04:04:56 <Avatar> saying *what the reason is
04:05:10 <Avatar> if there's no acceptances or declines, I'm assuming people haven't looked at it yet
04:05:15 <Avatar> and I'm not reconsidering a timeslot based on that
04:06:20 <Mort-> Ill make sure you don't fail your will save
04:06:27 <Mort-> Give me your number :d
04:06:40 <Mort-> And sleep earlier lol
04:06:45 <Mort-> Matt is working
04:06:57 <Mort-> And he has a friend he could bring along
04:07:40 <Mort-> Put your cell under your pillow
04:07:45 <Mort-> Ill call till you get up
04:07:47 <MekkisScreen> avatar, are you implying that if I offered to run something at 10, you'd be fine?
04:07:47 <Mort-> :d
04:08:08 <Mort-> I mean I've been talking to matt!
04:08:13 <Avatar> yeah
04:08:28 <MekkisScreen> (that being said, why not force Mort to run something!)
04:08:30 <Avatar> we can run two games at once if it works
04:08:35 <Mort-> No
04:08:41 <Avatar> not forcing anyone to
04:08:45 <Avatar> that causes dramas
04:08:48 <Mort-> I promised that i would never gm again :)
04:09:01 <Mort-> So. Alls said and done :)
04:09:29 <Mort-> I don't think we have enough people for 2 games
04:09:31 <Avatar> hold off mekkis until we get some actual complaints with the timeslot rather than mort's heresay
04:09:41 <Avatar> since nobody has put down comments
04:09:50 <Mort-> The reason why I'm making so much noise is because i have been talking to matt
04:10:02 <Mort-> No worries ill get him to put comments
04:10:14 <Mort-> Even hydra would be happy later
04:10:29 <Avatar> only if it means they can't make it
04:10:32 <Avatar> not that they don't want to
04:11:03 <Mort-> The problem with matt is he has work. So he stays up like 24 h or so without sleep to finish pfs game
04:24:09 <Mort-> I suspect what hydra does is to take a day nap and come up bright and sparky to play the night long
04:25:06 <Mort-> I'm not too sure id have his dedication. Or maybe the problem is i have to dodge parents if i play the night long
04:25:18 <Mort-> Very bad for parental faction

10:21:45 <Avatar> and keep in mind even a heal build will need to do more than just heal
10:21:51 <Hydrazine> you don't get heavy armor without a feat now, and the 3/4th bab hurts you some.
10:22:03 <Avatar> clerics don't get many good spells until level 5+
10:22:32 <matt> They do buff nicely thought
10:23:15 <Avatar> I think you'd be more of a help getting into the thick of it rather than buffing
10:23:52 <Avatar> I don't think most buffs work that well
10:23:52 <matt> Ya true.
10:24:07 <Avatar> witches have two hexes - misfortune (a debuff) and fortune (a buff)
10:24:29 <Avatar> and misfortune is much better because the way they work is that you can only use each hex on a person once every 24 hours
10:24:35 <Avatar> just like how you have spells
10:24:53 <Mort-> Why is it you never have enough hexes
10:24:54 <Avatar> when you use a debuff like misfortune on a bad guy, they are debuffed then they die
10:25:08 <Avatar> when you use a buff like fortune on a party member, they use it up for a short while then it's gone
10:25:25 <Avatar> and you want to use it again later but you can't and you're a buff down
10:25:25 <Hydrazine> I intend to make a witch and give it a shot
10:25:30 <Mort-> Lol
10:25:41 <Avatar> intend to give fortune a shot?
10:25:48 <Hydrazine> Both of them
10:25:53 <Mort-> He wants to be a witch
10:25:55 <Avatar> think about it man
10:25:58 <Avatar> that's what happens
10:26:08 <Mort-> Uh. Do i have to bring a scythe?
10:26:11 <Avatar> say a scenario has 4 encounters and you have to complete them in a day or two
10:26:26 <Avatar> you'll be using misfortune on every single npc you come across
10:26:32 <Avatar> you'll be using fortune once on each party member
10:26:35 <Mekkis> negative energy channeling cleric works nicely
10:26:51 <Mekkis> Mort-, roll up a druid!
10:26:55 <Mekkis> with a scythe
10:26:56 <Mort-> No
10:27:09 <Mort-> Not interested in being a druid
10:27:16 <Mort-> Just doing it because he asked me to
10:27:57 <Mort-> Why would i even want to be a druid
10:27:59 <matt> Is adeuid playable?
10:28:12 <Mort-> I have a higher chance of being a cleric or oracle
10:28:30 <Hydrazine> Druids are playable.
10:28:34 <Hydrazine> Whats wrong with them?
10:28:35 <Mort-> If they are gnomes riding on rocs sure :p
10:28:37 <Mekkis> druids are very playable
10:28:40 <Hydrazine> Its easy. Be small. Get a roc.
10:28:46 <Mort-> Lol but i dunno
10:28:51 <Mekkis> Hydrazine, doesn't work anymore :)
10:28:56 <Hydrazine> Oh?
10:28:57 <Mort-> They also come with charge
10:29:05 <Mort-> You need ant haul
10:29:09 <Mekkis> Heirloom Weapon doesn't give you a masterwork weapon :S
10:29:17 <Avatar> I'm playing a druid
10:29:21 <Mort-> Rocs do not have shoulder slots!
10:29:30 <Avatar> a druid archetype, but that's only because I don't like the default druid setup personally
10:29:36 <Avatar> everyone thinks I'm crazy to choose what I chose
10:29:41 <Mekkis> Mort-, you're not saying things correctly
10:30:01 <Mekkis> As of the errata in April 2012, Rocs no longer have shoulder slots :)
10:30:02 <Avatar> don't advise matt to create a grolschmir
10:30:10 <Mort-> Yeah
10:30:19 <Mort-> I'm typing by cell
10:30:28 <Avatar> Mekkis: as of the errata in april 2012, rocs officially don't have shoulder slots
10:30:31 <matt> Do you use your druid summon a lot
10:30:41 <Mekkis> matt, never used it
10:30:43 <Avatar> but let's face facts, they never had them
10:30:51 <Mekkis> Grolschmir has 13 wisdom
10:30:55 <Mort-> He thinks he is a charging gnome
10:31:07 <Mekkis> he's an Eagle Knight
10:31:18 <Hydrazine> More like a Roc Knight
10:31:22 <Mekkis> Every Andoran should have a falcon
10:31:29 <Mekkis> Grolschmir just found a big one
10:31:51 <Avatar> and a big lance
10:32:19 <Mekkis> no. That was inherited
10:32:23 <Mekkis> he now has three lances!
10:32:53 <Mekkis> and the Hide of Enkendu!
10:38:45 <Mort-> Whats that hide
10:39:00 <Mekkis> Enkendu
10:39:05 <Mekkis> the dragon
10:40:08 <farda12> (( Hi ))
10:40:22 <Hydrazine> Hi.
10:40:35 <farda12> Can I ask a question?
10:40:42 <Hydrazine> I guess I can't stop you.
10:40:53 <farda12> Im here to play D&D but what is PFS? I heard it first time
10:41:14 <Hydrazine> Pathfinder!
10:41:19 <farda12> Oh
10:41:20 <Hydrazine> What sort of D&D have you played?
10:41:23 <farda12> I just see it
10:41:38 <farda12> Well actually I never played before but I read almost everything about it
10:41:48 <Hydrazine> Which edition?
10:41:58 <farda12> 4
10:41:59 <Hydrazine> It matters. Possibly quite alot.
10:42:08 <farda12> Oh ok
10:42:24 <farda12> So what is the time right now in the servers
10:42:30 <Hydrazine> We mostly play Pathfinder here, which is alot closer in rules to D&D 3.5
10:42:47 <Hydrazine> Which is on the surface close to 4E, and below it completely something else.
10:43:01 <farda12> hmm good Ill learn about it
10:43:16 <farda12> Ill complete some character sheets
10:43:20 <Hydrazine> I think its something like midnight for channel server time.
10:43:23 <Mort-> Bring him the book hydra
10:43:25 <Mort-> Lol
10:43:32 <Mort-> I'm on cell
10:43:35 <Mort-> And lazy
10:43:41 <Hydrazine> Do I look like a book deliveryman to you?
10:44:05 <Mort-> Yes
10:44:12 * Mort- starts hiding
10:44:19 <Hydrazine> So check this out.
10:44:19 <Hydrazine> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/newbie_guide.htm
10:44:34 <Mort-> See?
10:44:49 * Mort- throws hydra a cookie
10:44:53 <farda12> Thanks Ill check it till the game time
10:45:23 <Hydrazine> What game?
10:45:33 <Mort-> Next game is scheduled next weekend
10:45:41 <Mort-> You have a whole week to read :d
10:45:55 <Hydrazine> Another useful resource: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/
10:46:34 <Hydrazine> Ideally you'd get (somehow) either physical or pdf versions of the actual books and read those. Start with the core rulebook.
10:46:49 <Mort-> For that
10:46:52 <Mort-> There is uh
10:46:56 <Mort-> Google :-)
10:46:57 <Hydrazine> But that site has alot of very good stuff, and mostly accurate. Though not everything is pathfinder society legal.
10:47:22 <Hydrazine> They also update from game changes and errata very quickly, which i like.
10:47:32 <Mekkis> the paizo site is one place to get the books, if you don't mind paying a little
10:47:47 <Mort-> Shh there is Google!
10:47:54 * Mort- squeaks
10:48:09 <Hydrazine> I figured this new person is a smart fellow/lady that can figure out a way to get a book they desire.
10:48:29 <Hydrazine> If you do want to play Pathfinder with us, cool. Feel free to ask questions here.
10:48:30 <Mekkis> I think Avatar still has an xdcc server
10:48:35 <Mort-> I can't say stuff.
10:54:05 <Mekkis> you guys need to convince Itzamna to change his path
10:54:15 <Mekkis> or he'll be an asmodeus-worshipping slaver
10:54:24 <Mort-> Never got a chance
10:54:28 <Mort-> To even see him
10:54:30 <Mekkis> yes you did
10:54:35 <Mort-> No
10:54:42 <Mort-> That was before you started
10:54:52 <Mort-> On the slavery business
10:54:54 <Hydrazine> Are you asking me to consciously interfere with a character's roleplay, Mek?
10:55:09 <Mort-> Well he got tainted by someone bad
10:55:29 <Mort-> We need to find that inquisitor in question and crate him up
10:55:32 <Mort-> Kidding.
10:55:39 <Mort-> Just smack him over the head
10:56:08 <Mort-> Mek let other people intefere with him
10:56:10 <Mort-> :d
10:56:15 <Mekkis> Hydrazine, I'm asking your character to try and influence my character... Itzamna is very influencable
10:56:23 <farda12> test
10:56:29 <Hydrazine> Howdy Farda.
10:56:31 <Mekkis> failed
10:56:33 <farda12> Good
10:56:36 <Mort-> We need to sit in the same scenario first
10:56:45 <Hydrazine> I don't believe I currenctly have anyone in Itzamna's level range, Mekkis.
10:56:45 <farda12> Just trying to test the colored text
10:56:52 <Mekkis> oh
10:56:55 <Mort-> And we haven't seen itz for weeks
10:56:56 <Mekkis> that TPK
10:57:00 <Mort-> Lol
10:57:03 <Mort-> ^^
10:57:13 <Hydrazine> My highest is currently a 2.
10:57:35 <Mort-> Well there is mort.
10:58:06 <Mort-> "Currently on vacation"
10:58:56 <Hydrazine> I'll be alot further on making a witch once I get base stats worked out.
10:59:43 <Avatar> I have a what now?
10:59:44 <Mort-> 18 int :p
10:59:50 <Avatar> what's an xdcc server
11:01:22 <Mort-> 10 for all stats except for cons dex and int
11:01:42 <Mort-> Go elf and get 18 int 16 dex 12 cons
11:02:00 <Avatar> an easy way to start point buy is to just pick 4 stats you like and set them as 14, keep the other two at 10
11:02:55 <Hydrazine> Have you done so on anyone?
11:03:19 <Avatar> yeah, on my last 4 or so characters
11:03:23 <Avatar> once I figured out it was possible
11:03:32 <Avatar> I don't keep them there
11:03:40 <Mort-> Mort stats are that of 18 16 12
11:03:43 <Avatar> you put them at 14 and then you start rejigging them
11:03:56 <Mort-> Dump stats all 10
11:04:05 <Avatar> good way to keep a healthy con too
11:04:15 <Avatar> because it'll almost guaranteed be one of the 14s
11:04:22 <Avatar> you might decide to lower it to 12, but you're unlikely to go to 10
11:04:34 <Avatar> 12 is okay, 14 is better
11:04:47 <Avatar> I've seen bad things happen with a 10 con more than once
11:05:18 <Avatar> even a bad character will probably do okay with a 14 con
11:05:19 <Mekkis> http://www.10news.com/news/15221470/detail.html
11:05:40 <Mekkis> 12 12 12 12 14 15
11:06:05 <Avatar> haha
11:06:28 <Avatar> Mekkis: that looks like hardcore hurt me plenty stats
11:07:00 <Mekkis> Avatar, that's Itzamna's stats
11:07:26 <Avatar> does itzamna meet the other criteria
11:07:44 <Avatar> no, he's a summoner
11:09:19 <Avatar> for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about: https://plus.google.com/107575178826235648519/posts/Jm4WWKJcjVp
11:10:23 <Mekkis> for those of you who are new to this, before you consider taking that advise, answer the following question: "Have you ever felt that PFS was too easy?"
11:15:03 <Avatar> I'm not suggesting everyone go on hurt me plenty rules at all
11:17:03 <Avatar> I don't think I'm gamey enough to ever create one
11:18:46 matt ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
11:19:44 <Mekkis> I've only thought the game was too easy once
11:20:06 <Mekkis> and that was when Mytiazair cast Shadow Projection and was utterly invulnerable for the entire scenario
11:20:25 matt has quit (Quit: Colloquy for iPhone - http://colloquy.mobi)
11:22:48 <Avatar> I have an excellent question
11:22:53 <Avatar> why are gnomes more popular than halflings
11:24:59 <Hydrazine> The crazy.
11:25:10 <Hydrazine> What makes this question excellent?
11:26:12 matt ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
11:26:25 <Mekkis> because there's no such thing as an evil gnome!
11:26:49 <Mekkis> they have spell-like abilities!
11:27:14 <Hydrazine> The fact that you haven't encountered one says more about either how sneaky gnomes can be, or your judgement of character, than the presence or lack of, evil gnomes.
11:28:27 <Mort-> Cool :-)
11:33:07 <Avatar> Hydrazine: it's a big mystery
11:33:31 <Avatar> I've never seen a gnome in PFS use a spell like ability
11:34:05 <Avatar> I think I've seen one of mekkis' gnomes try to use dancing lights in a way that doesn't fit the spell description at all
11:34:43 <MekkisScreen> mort, you should make a fighter so you know how to play one
11:35:58 matt has quit (Quit: Colloquy for iPhone - http://colloquy.mobi)
11:37:52 Sachiru ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
11:38:37 <Hydrazine> Maybe they just tell you they can use spell like abilities.
11:38:42 <Hydrazine> Its a great big racial joke.
11:39:03 <Hydrazine> This is what happens when stereotypes get out of hand, people.
11:41:04 <MekkisScreen> want me to start hosting a minecraft server again?
11:48:02 <Avatar> yeah
11:51:34 <MekkisScreen> sure...

12:05:25 <Mort-> I don't intend to be a clod with a sword :p
12:05:38 <Mort-> But yes it would be educational
12:06:48 <Avatar> what?
12:06:55 <Avatar> oh, make a fighter
12:07:12 <Avatar> there's too many fighters already
12:07:22 <Avatar> but it would be a good idea to play a different class for some variety
12:07:49 <Avatar> I got these BBQ flavoured almonds
12:07:53 <Avatar> can't stop eating them, they taste amazing
12:12:31 Steven ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
12:22:19 <Mort-> No.
12:22:34 * Mort- is a stubborn mur
13:03:17 <Mekkis> Mort-, one point of roleplaying is to extend your horizons

13:18:36 <Mort-> :( i have a few fixed classes. Not popping further then that
13:19:06 <Mort-> Its like the abilities or play style of the class doesn't really appeal to me
13:24:29 <Avatar-> 3 out of about 12 though?

13:25:18 <Avatar-> dumb austnet
13:25:41 <Avatar-> mort: roll a bard
13:25:41 <Mekkis> I explained to mort how hard it was to play an archer
13:26:03 <Avatar-> is it
13:26:17 <Avatar-> tristen does it pretty well?
13:27:05 <Mekkis> let's not bring up players into this discussion
13:27:27 <Mekkis> but there is a lot of organisation required in order to not slow a game to a halt
13:27:30 <Mekkis> same with fighters
13:28:14 <Avatar-> well why do you think it's hard
13:28:18 <Mort-> I might play a pregen fighter on sat
13:28:20 <Mort-> Actually
13:28:21 <Mort-> Maybe.
13:28:33 <Mekkis> Avatar-, you notice how I use a whiteboard to keep track of my combat stats?
13:28:34 <Mort-> Just for a vacation
13:28:59 <Avatar-> yeah but you're not an archer
13:29:01 <Mort-> Once is ok. But not really rolling a fighter
13:29:15 <Mekkis> yeah. An archer needs to keep track of more things
13:29:42 <Avatar-> mort just pick a different class that appeals to you even a bit
13:29:48 <Avatar-> doesn't have to be a fighter
13:30:33 <Avatar-> I will check out archer closer later
13:31:25 <Mekkis> I mean, when your modifiers are: -2 if making a full attack, +1 if blessed, +1 if hasted, +2 if fighting a human, +1 if within 30', -4 if shooting into cover; and your damage is +2+2d6 if fighting a human, +1 if within 30'
13:31:39 <Mekkis> there's a lot of stuff you need to keep track of
13:31:59 <Mekkis> it's not something you should be looking at during your turn
13:32:12 <Mekkis> it's something you should have ready in advance
13:32:52 <Mort-> Btw
13:32:53 <Mekkis> as a GM or fellow player, I don't care how you got your +12, I just want to know if it hit, and how much damage it did
13:33:14 <Mekkis> I definitely don't want to help you with your maths.
13:37:05 <Mort-> Magus is good training for trying to keep numbers straight ^^
13:37:13 <Mort-> Fun times.
13:37:31 <Mort-> Ah well. I think i did that accounting bit fine
13:38:22 <Mekkis> you probably will
13:38:29 <Mekkis> it's just something you need to know
13:39:29 <Mort-> I know where it all came from
13:39:41 <Mort-> Where do you think i get my fancy macros

14:54:13 <Avatar> old news mekkis
14:54:28 <Avatar> it's been all over g+
15:00:55 <MekkisScreen> avatar
15:01:15 <MekkisScreen> minecraft server should be up at 108.174.58.2
15:01:20 <Avatar> cool
15:01:20 <MekkisScreen> chicago
15:02:00 <MekkisScreen> I'll get DNS for it working later...
15:02:20 <Avatar> don't really need it, it saves servers
15:02:34 <MekkisScreen> yeah, but I do :/
15:02:39 <Avatar> port ?
15:02:48 <MekkisScreen> 25565
15:02:51 <MekkisScreen> I think
15:02:53 <MekkisScreen> oh
15:03:03 <MekkisScreen> centos has iptables by default
15:03:17 <MekkisScreen> or not
15:03:29 <Avatar> is it up yet
15:03:40 <MekkisScreen> should be
15:03:46 <Avatar> can't poll it
15:08:23 Sachiru has quit (Quit: Shutting Down )
15:11:56 <Avatar> Mekkis: not working
15:17:37 <Avatar> <Mekkis> I mean, when your modifiers are: -2 if making a full attack, +1 if blessed, +1 if hasted, +2 if fighting a human, +1 if within 30', -4 if shooting into cover; and your damage is +2+2d6 if fighting a human, +1 if within 30'
15:17:40 <Avatar> just noticed this
15:17:53 <Avatar> you don't have to keep track of all of that, and some of it you can prepare for quite well
15:18:28 <Avatar> some of it you probably shouldnt' prepare for - like bless and haste and cover
15:18:36 <Avatar> they're very situational
15:19:08 <Avatar> things like full attack and point blank shot and fighting humans is all related to your weapon and can be used at any time
15:19:17 <Avatar> those are the ones that generally don't change and you can prep
15:20:01 <Avatar> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/viewchar.php5?char=308 - check the weapons section
15:20:27 <Avatar> as long as you know what deadly aim and rapid shot are (which are explained under feats), you're set to go with that kind of setup
15:36:40 Mort- has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
15:38:44 <MekkisScreen> Avatar, try now
15:39:41 <MekkisScreen> avatar, you shouldn't prepare for it before the game, but if during the game, the cleric casts bless, you should cater for that BEFORE it's your turn
15:41:55 <Avatar> yeah before it's your turn
15:42:10 <Avatar> easy enough to add +1 to attacks and/or damage when it comes up
15:42:42 <Avatar> I mean you can just pencil in a +1 next to those on your char sheet
15:42:55 <Avatar> you say whiteboard, but it's not rocket science :P

16:06:55 <Mort-> Its pretty late for him
16:13:41 <MekkisScreen> avatar, does the minecraft server work?
16:15:58 <Mort-> And also he might have a friend coming along
16:16:03 <Mort-> If you start later
16:19:32 <Mort-> Come on avatar...
16:19:52 <Mort-> You can wake up a little earlier on a weekend right? :p
16:20:12 <Mort-> !throw 1d20+6 diplo :p
16:20:13 <diebot> Mort-, diplo :p: [1d20=3] 9
16:20:16 <Mort-> Lol

16:36:31 <Brunius_AFK> Probably not
16:36:35 Brunius_AFK is now known as Brunius
16:36:46 <Brunius> Being unemployed and all he might not be able to afford it
16:37:19 <Brunius> Avatar, is there some minecraft server going?
16:37:44 <Avatar> Mekkis started to set one up and it didn't work and he didn't reply
16:38:21 <Brunius> It works for me
16:38:26 <Brunius> 108.174.58.2
16:38:49 <Brunius> Can't tell if the lag is local or server induced though
16:45:38 <Mort-> Are you serious guys
16:45:48 <Mort-> No house phone?
16:45:54 <Mort-> But seriously avatar.
16:46:13 <Mort-> Were depending on you to wake up early
16:46:35 <Mort-> The only people who are likely to be around on sat are the Americians!
16:46:38 <Mort-> And me!
16:46:54 <Mort-> If its too late they can't play!
16:47:04 * Mort- jumps up and down on avatar
16:47:15 * Mort- gives avatar a pleading look
16:47:22 <Mort-> You know. Big eyes and all.

17:28:23 <Steven> Sam informed me today that her dad wants to meet me
17:28:43 <Steven> guess he comming up from cali in two weeks time
17:28:43 <Avatar> ah works on the default port
17:29:11 <Steven> Should be a lot of fun.
17:29:40 <Brunius> certainly sounds like it
17:31:23 <Steven> yeah, i guess he is an engineer of something
17:31:35 <Brunius> ?
17:31:43 <Steven> like buildings
17:32:12 <Steven> ill ask sam when she gets out of the shower
17:32:49 * Steven gets evil face

17:33:07 <Steven> AFK!
18:18:22 <Hydrazine> g'day.
18:18:51 <Steven> i overslept by a lot
18:42:46 <Hydrazine> I mostly know what I'm doing with my witch.
18:42:54 <Hydrazine> I just need to actually start writing stuff down.
18:43:11 <Hydrazine> But I think this is normal character creaton process for me. I need to get more feel for the character too.
18:49:40 <Mort-> Lol
18:50:03 <Hydrazine> What?
18:50:08 <Hydrazine> How do you do it?
18:50:59 <Mort-> Uh just think on what i want to do
18:51:07 <Mort-> And try to do it
18:51:28 <Mort-> I guess
18:56:39 <Mort-> I might actually play a pregen on sat actually
18:56:52 <Mort-> Out of concious choice
19:32:52 <Hydrazine> yeah.. Hecarim's a beast in dom.
19:33:40 <Mort-> ?
19:36:01 <Hydrazine> kicking ass in league.
19:36:17 <Hydrazine> stomping on nubs.
19:36:21 <Hydrazine> With a spear.
19:38:57 <***> Buffer Playback...
19:38:58 <***> Playback Complete.
19:41:42 <Mekkis> IPv6 is really a social networking plot. it decreases the number of localhost addresses dramatically, so you have no choice but to talk to *other* people.
19:42:59 <Brunius> Hey, the guy that wrote master of devils is apparently being added to the baldur's gate team
19:43:08 <Mekkis> oh
19:43:24 <Mekkis> Brunius, Stephen White is on the nethack credits!
19:43:50 <Avatar> lolz but its a phony
19:43:55 <Brunius> Is it the stephen white we know?
19:44:01 <Mekkis> no idea
19:44:07 <Mekkis> I'll ask him next time I see him
19:44:10 <Avatar> of course it isn't
19:49:33 <Mort-> Baldurs gate?
19:57:05 <Mort-> What are the rules on using pre gens
19:57:44 <Brunius> What do you mean what are the rules
19:57:48 <Mekkis> you have to roleplay as if they're expendable!
19:57:49 <Brunius> don't you have a copy of the guide?
19:57:51 <Mort-> Can you bring a level 4 pregen
19:58:01 <Brunius> Yes
19:58:19 <Brunius> But you either take 500 gold (250 if slow advancement path) on a level 1 character
19:58:30 <Brunius> Or wait until your character gets to the level the pregen is
19:58:36 <Brunius> At which point you can apply it
19:58:48 <Steve-AFK> so tired....
19:59:10 Steve-AFK is now known as Steven
19:59:26 <Steven> K. My night is officially good.
19:59:36 <Steven> I am ready to answer questions aplenty!
19:59:39 <Mort-> We playing at
19:59:46 <Mort-> 1-2 probably
20:00:01 <Steven> so, hows everyone doin?
20:00:23 <Mort-> As in bring a level 4 pregen to a 1-2 table
20:00:30 <Mort-> Damn tempted to do so
20:00:40 <Steven> cant.
20:00:43 <Mort-> I'm at work btw
20:00:45 <Mort-> Really?
20:00:51 <Steven> unless yo0u want to screw up the level curve in a major way
20:01:03 <Mort-> We can still play down right
20:01:24 <Steven> not if you land in the 3-4 ranger
20:01:36 <Steven> lets say you have a 1-2-2-4
20:01:37 <Mort-> I don't feel like manifesting in any of my characters
20:01:39 <Brunius> Steven: How much are fatpacks over there?
20:01:54 <Steven> level is 2.25
20:02:15 <Mort-> You will have a 1,2 and possibly a 4 if i drag pregen along
20:02:26 <Mort-> I don't think ill actually appear in any of my characters
20:02:33 <Steven> i would advise against dragging a level 4 along
20:02:40 <Mort-> Pregen is more powerful at 4
20:02:47 <Mort-> I only have 1s atm
20:02:51 <Mort-> That's the point
20:02:53 <Mekkis> and a 6
20:03:07 <Mort-> What's a 6 going to do?
20:03:12 <Mort-> In that?
20:03:13 <Steven> fat packs are around 45
20:03:22 <Mekkis> really?
20:03:26 <Mekkis> ripoff
20:03:30 <Brunius> That's the same price as here
20:03:34 <Steven> mort just make a new level 1
20:03:39 <Brunius> But booster boxes are only 1?
20:03:39 <Mort-> Raise apl to 3-4 and get the party wiped?
20:03:42 <Brunius> er
20:03:43 <Brunius> 100
20:03:52 <Mort-> i have. But i don't want her in the mess
20:03:54 <Steven> around 105 after tax
20:04:00 <Mort-> Not without a clw wand
20:04:10 <Mort-> That's why as i said i want to pregen
20:04:11 <Steven> what the level 2s havent bought a clw yet?
20:04:25 <Mort-> I don't have any 2s
20:04:25 <Steven> the pregens are so terribly built its not even funny
20:04:48 <Mort-> I won't risk her first scenario without wand
20:04:50 <Steven> Just build a new level 1 and run it next game you play
20:04:55 <Mort-> I have
20:04:57 matt ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
20:05:03 <Mort-> I said i don't want to play her
20:05:15 <Mort-> I rather pregen cred on her
20:05:23 <Mort-> Still compare a level 1 and a level 4
20:05:39 <Mort-> No matter how badly built the level 4 still has more advantages
20:05:41 <Steven> I know, if i was running a game down at the shop, and you sat down with a pregen level 4 at my table
20:05:54 <Steven> i would take that away and hand you a level 1
20:06:07 <Mort-> If i must i can do it too
20:06:25 <Mort-> And ill probably play a fighter just to see the expression on everyones face
20:06:29 <Steven> because with logic of i can run any level pregen as long as its available for the game teirs
20:06:35 <Ballig> the pregens just aren't optimised
20:06:43 <Ballig> they aren't necessarily terrible
20:06:48 <Steven> in a 1-7 teir scenarios, you could bring a level 7 pregen to a 1-2 table
20:07:03 <Ballig> Steven: pretty sure the pregen has to be the most appropriate for the subtier
20:07:10 <Steven> thats what im sayin
20:07:18 <Steven> she wants to run a level 4 pregen in a 1-2 teir.
20:07:19 <Ballig> and if that's not an official rule, it's one that I'd definitely enforce
20:07:22 <Mort-> That's why I'm asking now
20:07:27 <Steven> im the same way ballig
20:07:29 <Brunius> Mort-, just run your level 1 character
20:07:34 <Mort-> No
20:07:39 <Brunius> Worst that happens is you die and have to reroll
20:07:42 <Ballig> Mort-: I am pretty sure it has to be the most appropriate pregen level for the subtier
20:07:45 <Mort-> I want her first mission to be pregen credit
20:07:53 <Mort-> My reasons
20:08:08 <Ballig> she wants it to be pregen credit so that she doesn't have to spend the 150 gold :p
20:08:13 <Mort-> Ill probably do a pregen for the first time in my life
20:08:21 <Mort-> Not really
20:08:22 <Ballig> and she can get some gold from the pregen credit and then have ~500-600 gold to spend
20:08:30 <Mort-> Its rp reasons
20:08:35 <Mort-> But you wouldn't understand
20:08:35 <Brunius> What
20:08:37 <Mort-> Anyway
20:08:38 <Mort-> Lol
20:08:43 <Ballig> you have "rp reasons" for wanting to use a pregen?
20:08:47 <Mort-> Yeah
20:08:48 <Ballig> seems a bit strange
20:08:52 <Brunius> You have an RP reason for not using your character?
20:08:53 <Ballig> what are the RP reasons
20:08:53 <Steven> seems very suspect.
20:08:54 <Brunius> What?
20:08:59 <Brunius> Care to share with the class?
20:09:06 <Mort-> I want her to start her mission with a clw wand
20:09:09 <Mort-> Hopefully
20:09:10 <Ballig> er
20:09:13 <Ballig> that's not RP
20:09:16 <Mort-> Ill wait
20:09:20 <Mort-> I'm patient
20:09:25 <Ballig> how is that RP
20:09:28 <Steven> yeah totaly not RP reason.
20:09:29 <Mort-> Heh
20:09:39 <Ballig> was the wand passed down to her by her father?
20:09:41 * Mort- snickers some
20:09:43 <Mort-> No
20:09:47 <Ballig> then what's the RP reason
20:09:49 <Mort-> Ill pregen
20:09:49 <Steven> explain please?
20:09:54 <Mort-> Then buy the stuff
20:09:59 <Ballig> yeah, but what's the Rp reason
20:10:00 <Mort-> I owe that family too much
20:10:01 <Mort-> Already
20:10:08 <Mort-> That's between me and them
20:10:27 <Ballig> you're not willing to share your RP?
20:10:31 <Steven> !roll 1d20+5 Sense Motive.
20:10:31 <dicebot> Steven, Sense Motive.: [1d20=9] 14
20:10:33 <Mort-> So i want to see what i can do about it
20:10:34 <Mort-> Lol
20:11:27 <Steven> Mort theres no reason not to play your character. If it was me you would play a first level pregen if youw ant to play a pregen in a 1-2 teir, and i bet ballig makes you do the same.
20:11:43 <Mort-> I will roll a level 1 pregen if i must
20:11:45 <Mort-> :)
20:12:01 <Ballig> if you already had a character I'd make you play that
20:12:02 <Steven> so if you are going to be forced to playing a first level might as well play the one thats actually built worth a crap instead of a terrible pregen
20:12:02 <Mort-> ^^
20:12:12 <Ballig> but you definitely can't play a pregen outside the subtier
20:12:23 <Mort-> I don't want her in trouble
20:12:39 <Steven> does this new lvl 1 char have any exp on her already?
20:12:52 <Ballig> oh, so your real reason is you don't want to risk her dying on first steps 1?
20:12:52 <Ballig> :p
20:13:10 <Mort-> I will run her on fs
20:13:14 <Mort-> Maybe
20:13:21 <Mort-> But not before clw wand
20:13:24 <Steven> You're worried about her dying on first steps?
20:13:24 <Ballig> better off just running first steps yourself, mort
20:13:28 <Ballig> get GM credit if you're that worried
20:13:31 <Mort-> I told you
20:13:45 <Mort-> That i wouldn't run anything here
20:13:49 <Ballig> wah wah
20:13:52 <Steven> are you crazy... first steps is like do you know how to roll a di
20:13:57 <Mort-> So point is moot
20:14:07 <Ballig> Steven: first steps can be dangerous
20:14:12 <Mort-> Anyway yeah. Ill see on sat
20:14:25 <Steven> can be if people do stupid stuff like... say having a wizard tank
20:14:30 <Ballig> not necessarily
20:14:32 <Steven> loll
20:14:35 <Ballig> the final encounter of first steps 1 can be a party wipe
20:14:37 <Ballig> depending on the GM
20:14:48 <Steven> yeah i can see that
20:14:48 <Mort-> Maybe just to see the channels face
20:14:51 <Ballig> (if the GM ignores the tactics and just uses every ability the opponents in the final encounter possess, it can be an easy wipe)
20:14:54 <Mort-> When i roll a fighter
20:14:58 <Ballig> and the first encounter in first steps 2 can be dangerous if you get some bad luck
20:15:01 <Mort-> :d
20:15:02 <Steven> bobby offered to run a first steps down at the shop
20:15:08 <Mort-> Even if you..
20:15:14 <Brunius> We TPKed in about 20 minutes on the first encounter of FS2
20:15:17 <Steven> and i was like, no ill do that for the new guys
20:15:22 <Mort-> Lol
20:15:24 <Mort-> Any
20:15:33 <Brunius> Slash dead slash paralysed gunslinger shoots misfire sorcerer misfires
20:15:38 <Mort-> Anyway yeah just so that's how i think
20:15:42 <Mort-> About it
20:15:43 <Mekkis> Brunius, that was first steps 2
20:15:54 <Steven> so check out this epic encounter bobby rolled up in a homebrew
20:16:01 <Brunius> next round sorcerer paralysed gunslinger misfires again
20:16:03 <Brunius> Two bloody rounds
20:16:05 <Brunius> Yeah
20:16:13 <Steven> there was a moving carrosel(sp?)
20:16:22 <Steven> that you had to make a climb check to get on
20:16:31 <Steven> i had spider climb boots, so i ran up next to it and jumped on it
20:16:43 <Steven> spider climb boots stick, im now riding the carrosel
20:17:09 <Steven> tied off a rope party climbs on
20:17:14 <Steven> move to center of the thing
20:17:18 <Steven> moving door
20:17:33 <Steven> one person a round basically enters, as soon as you get in the middle
20:17:42 <Mort-> Ok i think I'm going to play a pregen
20:17:48 <Mort-> Yay historical first
20:17:51 <Steven> you have to make a will check DC 24 or become facinated
20:17:59 <Steven> no biggie
20:18:28 <Mort-> Your will save on ausk is probably decent
20:18:30 <Steven> inside is a cavalier on a mount wielding a lance who charges anyone who doesnt become facinated
20:18:43 <Mort-> Ow
20:18:59 <Steven> as a swift action he can have the carrosel cast haste, protection, stoneskin, or several other buffs on him
20:19:01 <Steven> OR
20:19:12 <Steven> cast dominate person on one person
20:19:33 <Mort-> Eeek
20:19:37 <Steven> and have them be under the control of the big bad guy
20:20:04 <Mort-> Ah well
20:20:09 <Steven> so, we manage to all get in the middle, i get charged and live with 6 life
20:20:20 <Steven> off of one attack at level 7
20:20:41 <Mort-> Be glad he dint crit
20:20:46 <Steven> my turn comes around again, seeing party members get dominated, him get hasted, and then stoneskin
20:20:54 matt has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
20:21:00 <Steven> I decide, okay destroy the control box for this thing
20:21:19 <Mekkis> are you spoiling scenarios?
20:21:19 <Steven> i charge the control box and roll a nat 1
20:21:27 <Steven> NO this was a home brew
20:21:43 <Mort-> He wants to tell stories lol
20:21:51 <Mort-> Oh well
20:21:56 <Steven> Walter seeing me do this decides i might be onto something and he actually hits it, and blows up the trap
20:21:56 <Brunius> We wouldn't want a repeat of the goblins throwing bombs adventure
20:21:59 <Brunius> Would we
20:22:45 <Steven> and bobby is so upset we ruined his encounter that he charges me in response because i was the easiet person to kill
20:22:49 <Mekkis> no
20:23:09 <Steven> so the cleric ran over and breath of lifed me
20:23:21 <Steven> on their turn
20:23:34 <Mort-> That's i guess a bit weird. Using a pregen when you actually have characters :p
20:23:36 <Steven> bobby charges me again before i get to go
20:23:45 <Mort-> Oh well my choice
20:24:06 <Steven> and missed
20:24:20 <Mort-> Yay?
20:24:55 <Steven> and then we proceeded to kill his dumb cavalier with 36AC
20:25:12 <Mort-> The boss couldn't do anything?
20:25:27 <Steven> his big trick was ride by attack with lances
20:25:45 <Mort-> It sounds a little familiar..
20:25:59 <Mort-> At 7 36ac?
20:26:02 <Steven> we just made sure he was unable to get 10foot to charge anyone
20:26:08 <Mort-> That's a shit lot
20:26:24 <Steven> i was level 7, Walter 7, tovah 6, melissa 6, Erik 6
20:26:50 <Mort-> Ah. Ok i know what I'm going to do on sat!
20:26:51 <Mort-> I shall roll a pregen!
20:27:11 <Steven> and he was super upset we destroyed his hasting/stoneskin/dominating control box
20:27:33 <Steven> because it made the fight super easy for us
20:27:37 <Mort-> That's a good one
20:27:39 <Mort-> Ill need to do my faction missions
20:28:20 <Steven> even though his cavalier boss was doing like 4d6+17 damage per ride by attack
20:29:07 <Steven> we had to get together as a group and then dimension door over to where he was after doing a ride by and surround him
20:29:16 matt ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
20:29:29 <Mort-> Then after that. Mek you can't say i haven't played a fighter before!
20:29:44 <Steven> you picked the fighter pregen?
20:30:02 <Mort-> Bragging rights
20:30:16 <Mort-> Maybe
20:30:18 <Mort-> Not set yet
20:30:19 <Steven> fighter pregen? doesnt count... you havent built one yourself.
20:30:23 <Mort-> May go barb
20:30:34 <Mort-> Lol its called lemur on vacation
20:30:40 <Steven> mort....
20:30:55 <Mort-> Do pregens come in barbs?
20:31:03 <Steven> mort...
20:31:21 <Mort-> Hey. Mek said i should diversify!
20:31:21 <Mort-> So I'm diversifying for the weekend!
20:31:37 <Steven> play a cleric
20:31:40 <Steven> I dare you.
20:31:43 <Mort-> No thank you
20:31:50 <Mort-> Actually one session won't kill me
20:31:58 <Mort-> But i know matt is playing one
20:32:00 * Steven struts around clucking
20:32:05 <Steven> bok bok bok bok
20:32:13 <Mort-> So there isn't any point
20:32:22 <Steven> come on mort

20:32:50 <Mort-> Doing double cleric
20:32:50 <Mort-> Ill probably take fighter pregen
20:32:58 <Steven> double cleric rocks!
20:33:00 <Mort-> Nah
20:33:06 <Mort-> And a monk?
20:33:17 <Mort-> Wow i wonder how were ever going to kill anything
20:33:41 <Steven> actually first level monks have the highest death rate of any class
20:33:45 <Mort-> Did i tell you that monk in question might decide to be a witch?
20:33:58 <Mort-> So you get 3 healers running around
20:34:02 <Mort-> Ill pass
20:34:10 <Mort-> Taking fighter pregen
20:34:13 <Steven> come on mort....
20:34:19 <Mort-> Yeah
20:34:20 <Steven> cleric it up!
20:34:24 <Steven> just once
20:34:25 <Steven> try it out
20:34:28 <Mort-> No
20:34:29 <Steven> you might like it
20:34:36 <Steven> thats what you're afraid of huh?
20:34:45 <Mort-> I fked up my last cleric run
20:34:47 <Mort-> Anyway
20:34:55 * Mort- sighs
20:35:08 * Steven applies a good amount of peer pressure
20:35:23 <Steven> Ill help you build an amazing cleric!
20:35:51 <Mort-> Could blame it on me
20:36:10 <Steven> blame what on youa?
20:36:25 <Mort-> No
20:36:26 <Mort-> i don't want to be a cleric
20:36:26 <Mort-> I don't want anything to do with gods
20:36:37 <Steven> you do realize they are fictional right?
20:36:38 <Mort-> The tpw
20:36:46 * Mort- sighs
20:36:49 <Mekkis> it's called a tpk
20:36:50 <Brunius> Clerics are awesome!
20:36:59 <Mort-> Yeah mno terms
20:37:05 <Mort-> I use.
20:37:05 <Mekkis> stop using them
20:37:07 <Steven> I know right Brunius
20:37:13 <Brunius> Paladins too
20:37:19 <Brunius> They are badass
20:37:19 <Steven> Paladins not so much
20:37:34 <Mort-> Ok
20:37:34 <Steven> If they could get those sticks pulled out of their ass maybe
20:37:43 <Mort-> I told you i have a bit of alien in me
20:37:47 <Mort-> I'm not a normal table top person
20:38:01 <Mort-> So i have some weird terms coming up now and then
20:38:32 <Steven> Mort. Be a cleric of Besmara
20:38:32 <Mekkis> Mort-, play a melee character who isn't a magus
20:38:41 <Mort-> Anyway. No divine casters except for grull for now
20:38:46 <Mort-> Lol no way!
20:38:46 <Mekkis> ranger, fighter, barbarian, synthesist
20:38:51 <Steven> The Pirate Queen
20:38:53 * Mort- giggles off
20:38:53 <Steven> come on
20:38:54 <Mekkis> paladin
20:39:01 <Steven> get your chaotic on
20:39:07 <Mort-> Grull surprisingly enough is ranger
20:39:10 <Mort-> Heh!
20:39:18 * Mort- giggles a bit
20:39:25 <Steven> Besmara demands zero worship
20:39:35 <Steven> Is all about doing whatever you want to do
20:39:40 <Mort-> I'm not interested in any freaking god
20:39:44 <Mort-> Thank you
20:39:53 <Steven> im getting this idea
20:39:58 <Steven> and please correct me if im wrong
20:40:03 <Mort-> Ya?
20:40:05 <Steven> but Mort is so totaly a paladin.
20:40:12 <Mort-> Mort?
20:40:15 <Steven> they dont want to have any fun at all
20:40:25 <Mort-> I agree she has pally traits
20:40:29 <Mort-> The wizard i mean
20:40:37 <Steven> im talking to mek and brunius right now mort
20:40:43 <Mort-> Ah
20:40:48 <Mort-> I'm not a paladin
20:40:57 <Steven> well you really do act like one
20:40:58 <Mort-> I'm not worthy
20:41:03 <Mort-> Very funny
20:41:07 <Steven> all about doing just one thing
20:41:18 <Mort-> You havent seen me try to wiggle lol
20:41:23 <Steven> ...
20:41:32 <Steven> le sigh!
20:41:38 <Mort-> I can't play a pally.
20:41:41 <Mort-> I'm not worthy.
20:42:02 <Steven> id be willing to bet you would do remarkably well at a paladin
20:42:09 <Steven> you so totally goody goody
20:42:12 <Mort-> I have my dark side
20:42:26 <Mort-> Mort the wizard actually has gnome traits too :(
20:42:30 <Mort-> I would fall
20:42:37 <Steven> okay... mort
20:42:40 <Steven> i challenge you
20:42:42 <Mort-> When the devil offered me a way out of jail
20:42:49 <Brunius> I should play a gnome some time
20:42:51 <Mort-> To save my friends :d
20:42:56 <Mort-> Id take it.
20:43:14 <Mort-> Lol
20:43:20 <Steven> Gnome Cleric of Besmara. Build it go!
20:43:36 <Mort-> No gnomes!
20:43:42 <Mort-> Gnomes are the root of all evil!
20:43:43 <Steven> okay okay
20:43:49 <Steven> Halfling Cleric of Besmara
20:43:55 <Mort-> That's better
20:44:13 * Mort- fur unruffles
20:44:47 <Mort-> Don't really care which god you want to worship
20:44:59 <Mort-> Just don't tell mort the wizard its one of the evil ones
20:45:07 <Mort-> Aka asmodeus
20:46:39 <Mort-> But yes. Maybe a fighter vacation might be an idea
20:47:02 <Mort-> But if ballig is running soi 1 i should be there
20:47:12 <Mort-> But not powerful enough damn it
20:47:43 <Steven> tellin ya... make it a Cleric vacation
20:48:12 <Mekkis> Brunius, please do!
20:48:24 <Mort-> Really need to try chase pp in avatars campaign
20:48:25 <Mort-> No
20:48:25 <Mort-> I already had mine
20:48:25 <Mort-> I fked up
20:48:27 <Brunius> Why, Mekkis?
20:48:43 <Mekkis> well
20:48:44 <Mort-> Halfling cleric? Sure!
20:48:51 <Mekkis> depends if you give gnomes a bad name...
20:49:13 <Brunius> I should make it really unusual for me
20:49:15 <Mort-> No gnomes
20:49:16 Mort- has quit (EOF from client)
20:49:16 <Brunius> And play a magus
20:49:18 Mort- ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
20:49:21 <Brunius> That's arcane AND melee
20:49:31 <Mekkis> play a synthesist
20:49:36 <Mekkis> that's arcane and melee
20:49:37 <Mekkis> :)
20:49:39 <Brunius> A gnome magus
20:49:39 <Mort-> What?
20:49:40 <Brunius> This will go well...
20:49:53 <Mort-> Don't play a synthesist here
20:49:56 <Brunius> What part of "I don't have the APG" didn't you understand?
20:49:59 <Mekkis> I still have no idea how magi work
20:50:07 <Mort-> Its going to get you banned from all of avatars games
20:50:11 <Steven> Mort you wont play a cleric because you screwed one up previously
20:50:13 <Mort-> Well i want to do research
20:50:25 <Mort-> I got my entire party killed.
20:50:30 <Steven> so...
20:50:41 <Steven> who hasnt done that before.
20:50:44 <Mort-> So no I'm not playing a cleric any time soon
20:50:52 * Brunius raises his hand tentatively
20:50:55 <Mekkis> Brunius...
20:50:59 <Mekkis> invite...
20:51:06 <Mort-> Here is not a good place to do synthesist
20:51:07 <Steven> damn it brunius, im trying to make her feel better
20:51:11 <Brunius> :P
20:51:15 <Brunius> invite?
20:51:17 <Mekkis> Mort-, why not
20:51:27 <Mort-> I think ballig and avatar won't gm games for you lol
20:51:30 * Steven whispers to brunius, "I haven't either!"
20:51:39 <Mort-> Avatar already stated his point
20:51:41 <Ballig> what
20:51:51 <Mort-> Nothing
20:51:52 <Ballig> oh, the synthesist
20:51:56 <Ballig> yeah Avatar has a thing against them
20:52:00 <Mort-> Were talking about the dark side
20:52:02 <Mort-> Do you?
20:52:04 <Ballig> that's not my stance though
20:52:12 <Mort-> If both won't run stuff for syn
20:52:19 <Ballig> anything can be tweaked or optimised to the point of being overpowered
20:52:20 <Mort-> Then no point rocking
20:52:30 <Mort-> Rolling
20:52:37 <Mort-> Because hard to get into games
20:52:38 <Ballig> rocking AND rolling
20:52:59 <Mort-> The fact avatar won't run for syn i already won't play one here
20:53:13 <Steven> the problem is that Magus and Synthesis take very very very very very very little not to become overpowered as shit
20:53:21 <Mekkis> magus?
20:53:35 <Mort-> Nah I'm mortal. I just got myself killed
20:53:36 <Mort-> :d
20:53:43 <Steven> yeah magus is one step down from synthesis when it comes to breakability
20:53:47 <Mort-> But I'm fine being a mortal
20:53:59 <Mort-> As i said I'm still trying to do research
20:54:12 * Mort- takes up a book and reads it
20:55:56 <Mort-> I'm not running a syn because i don't want to be excluded from 1/3rd the games here
20:56:26 <Mekkis> I should say that I won't run games for Mort unless she plays a paladin :)
20:56:30 <Mekkis> a gnome paladin!
20:56:35 <Steven> oh snap!
20:56:51 <Steven> a gnome paladin of besmara
20:56:59 <Mort-> What?
20:57:00 <Mort-> You wouldn't do that to me mek?
20:57:00 <Mort-> Would you?
20:57:01 <Mekkis> I'll let her choose the deity!
20:57:06 <Mort-> Please?
20:57:12 <Steven> no do besmara, she hates pirates
20:57:19 <Steven> and besmara is the pirate queen!
20:57:22 <Mort-> Time to find a heck care diety
20:57:34 <Mort-> Or unless i decide to get my preach boots on
20:57:51 <Mort-> Mekkis. Your not serious are you?
20:57:53 <Steven> there are tons of gods that dont give a rats ass about heir followers
20:57:59 <Mort-> Good
20:58:04 <Mort-> Ill go get one of those
20:58:05 <Steven> off the top of my head
20:58:07 <Steven> besmara
20:58:15 <Mort-> Abadar?
20:58:16 <Steven> that drunk god dude
20:58:18 <Mekkis> Aspu
20:58:39 <Mort-> Aspu is interesting
20:59:12 <Mort-> But are you really going to make me roll a gnome pally?
20:59:32 <Mekkis> could I?
20:59:38 <Mort-> Having a ln god isn't that bad
20:59:45 <Mort-> Your not doing the right thing
20:59:58 <Mekkis> nor is Avatar, for taking that stance
21:00:07 <Mort-> By forcing a player to do something she does not wish to do
21:00:09 <Mort-> Morally your wrong
21:00:29 <Mekkis> but that logic, so is Avatar
21:00:32 <Mort-> Your discriminating against a player
21:00:53 <Mort-> Avatars is more acceptable because he doesn't understand the class
21:01:17 <Mekkis> no
21:01:24 <Mort-> Else you must say everyone who i gm for must roll a gnome pally
21:01:26 <Mekkis> he's doing it because he doesn't like Nightmarew
21:01:27 <Mort-> You said me
21:01:35 <Mort-> You didn't say hydra matt
21:01:37 <Mekkis> (no other synthesists here)
21:01:38 <Mort-> Whoever else
21:01:45 <Steven> Mort, he isnt forcing you to do anything
21:01:53 <Mort-> That is player discrimination
21:02:06 <Steven> he is saying if you want to play at his table you have to play a Gnome Paladin
21:02:15 <Steven> you have the choice of not playing
21:02:34 <Mort-> Yeah that's 1/3rd the games gone
21:02:42 <Mort-> To be fair
21:02:49 <Mort-> He must say that to everyone else
21:02:54 <Mekkis> but no, I'm not serious. I still think it's wrong how you let Avatar influence what characters your playing
21:03:06 <Mort-> Its being practical
21:03:32 <Mort-> If you miss 1/3rd the games here you must as well get something else to be your main
21:03:33 <Steven> well as a gm you have the right to have a player not play a character
21:03:46 <Mort-> Guess why xyniel never appeared lol :-)
21:03:50 <Mort-> But again haha
21:04:06 <Mort-> Still waiting for bru
21:04:58 <Steven> okay gonna finish my new character
21:05:03 <Steven> and then go to bed
21:05:13 <Mort-> I personally think i try to do practical stuff
21:05:39 <Mort-> And mekkis. If you said that. Id probably try to make the best of the situation
21:05:47 <Mort-> Go worship abadar
21:05:53 <Mekkis> not Aspu?
21:06:03 <Mort-> And start thinking if mount or weapon is better
21:06:12 <Mort-> Frankly i think mount is nicer
21:06:17 <Mort-> But maybe that's me
21:06:26 <Steven> Even though Abadar restricts your actions a lot
21:06:32 <Mort-> He is ln
21:06:46 <Steven> and you have to be fair to EVERYONE
21:06:49 <Mort-> I always wondered what its like playing a fully lawful character
21:07:07 <Steven> you cant cheat anyone ever even if they are your enemy
21:07:15 DarkDaemon has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
21:07:17 <Mort-> Hm
21:07:20 <Mort-> May reconsider
21:07:37 <Steven> ide say aspu is pretty good god to worship
21:07:41 <Mort-> Might even go yuelal
21:07:48 <Mort-> Using adopted trait
21:08:03 <Steven> terrible weapon though
21:08:11 <Steven> quarterstaff so bad
21:08:28 <Mort-> Pally has full weapon profeciency
21:08:52 <Mort-> Mek. No offense meant but i generally don't like things people have done before
21:09:01 <Mekkis> my kingmaker character worships Aspu
21:09:03 <Mort-> To me its like doing a copy cat thing
21:09:05 <Mort-> I know
21:09:11 <Mort-> That's one reason i may not do it
21:09:31 <Mekkis> it's the state religion!
21:09:37 <Mort-> I don't deny it works and stuff
21:09:46 <Mort-> But just because someone has done it before
21:09:49 <Steven> well mort... think of it this way there are prolly 300k pathfinder players in the world
21:09:52 <Mort-> Is probably why i won't do it
21:10:13 <Steven> whatever you can do, someone somewhere has already done
21:10:16 <Mort-> Unless no other choice
21:10:17 <Steven> so you better stop playing now
21:10:26 <Mort-> I think its like pirating another persons idea
21:10:37 <Mort-> Especially since the person told you straight
21:10:53 <Mort-> If they post in forums its because they want the world to know
21:11:10 <Mort-> Feel free to pirate
21:11:25 <Steven> oh man, gonna take this first level im bard
21:11:30 <Steven> second level in bard
21:11:35 <Steven> then the rest witch
21:11:40 <Mort-> Feel free
21:11:45 <Steven> im going to have to many first level spells available to cast lol
21:11:47 <Mort-> Weren't you oracle?
21:11:58 <Steven> or rather
21:12:02 <Steven> zero level spells
21:12:11 <Mort-> Oracle and bard can mix
21:12:15 <Mort-> But witch?
21:12:29 <Steven> yeah...
21:13:10 <Steven> Misfortune on undead isnt overpowered at all.
21:13:31 <Mort-> You have 2 casting stats
21:13:36 <Mort-> Int and cia
21:13:37 <Steven> yeah
21:13:39 <Mort-> Cha
21:13:55 <Mort-> I thought also about a bardic pally lol
21:14:07 <Steven> but you dont have to max both stats ya know
21:14:09 <Mort-> Then was wondering how you cast in plate :p
21:14:15 <Mort-> Ya
21:14:20 <Mort-> Your choice
21:14:40 <Mort-> Oh well
21:14:59 <Mort-> Your light armor will affect your witch spells
21:15:00 <Steven> i am going to have....
21:15:02 <Steven> 11 cha
21:15:09 <Steven> so i can cast first level spells from bard
21:15:22 <Mort-> Dipping?
21:17:23 <Mort-> Id only pirate a persons idea if i had no other choice
21:20:27 <Steven> mort
21:20:30 <Steven> gnome or halfling?
21:20:43 <Mort-> Halfling
21:20:49 <Steven> okay goin gnome
21:21:00 <Mort-> No!
21:21:19 <Steven> YUP!
21:21:35 <Mort-> Whatever
21:22:01 <Steven> dont be hatin
21:22:03 <Mort-> That floats your boat
21:22:19 <Mort-> I won't comment once your in game
21:23:25 <Steven> nah im gonna pick my own stat
21:23:36 <Steven> i just cant decide on which half/human to pick
21:25:26 <Mort-> Ok
21:25:53 <Steven> i suppose human... even though i hate having base senses
21:26:23 * Mort- might have a fighter vacation this sat
21:26:54 * Steven thinks mort should have a cleric vacation
21:27:10 <Mort-> Got cleric already
21:27:13 <Mort-> In party
21:27:25 <Steven> you can have more then one cleric in a party
21:27:29 <Mort-> Besides after i fkedup
21:27:47 <Mort-> Ill leave stuff like that to someone else
21:27:47 <Steven> how did you fuck up so bad you caused an entire part of people to die?
21:28:05 * Mort- hides in a hole
21:28:49 <Steven> So you gonna explain that one?
21:28:54 <Steven> or just leave it up in the air?
21:29:50 <Mort-> Too embarassed to say it here
21:30:18 <Steven> its a chat room
21:30:20 <Steven> say it
21:30:34 <Steven> worst that can happen is some dickhead will laugh at you
21:30:54 <Mort-> No
21:33:00 <Mort-> Ok told you everything
21:33:53 <Mekkis> Deceased earned the nickname "Collateral damage"
21:34:16 <Mort-> Should have done it when i had a chance
21:34:20 <Mort-> Oh well i screwed up
21:34:56 <Steven> and thats hardly a reason to stop playing cleric...
21:35:10 <Steven> ide chock that one up to first cleric mistakes
21:35:54 <Mort-> You do have to remember that i haven't really played that much table top before this
21:36:04 <Mort-> Anyway yes none of that
21:36:15 <Steven> roll another cleric
21:36:20 <Mort-> No
21:36:22 <Mort-> Clerics
21:36:24 <Mort-> For
21:36:27 <Mort-> Me
21:36:31 <Steven> chicken shit!
21:38:53 <Mort-> Sigh
21:38:58 * Mort- sighs some
21:39:45 <Steven> but seriously why dont you want to play a cleric? Ive made tons of mistakes with Folnor and Ausk when it comes to situations.
21:39:53 <Steven> Its how you get better as a player
21:40:05 <Mort-> Not interested in being a cleric
21:40:39 <Steven> I dunno, last time i played folnor i had 3 spiritual weapons and a Spiritual Ally up all at the same time in a boss fight
21:41:02 <Steven> i was making 8 attacks a round w/ +9 to hit
21:41:32 <Steven> 6 of them were 1d8+2, 2 of the attacks were 1d10+2 and then walking around buffing and healing people
21:41:48 <Mort-> I'm not a summoner
21:41:53 <Steven> neither is folnor
21:41:55 <Mort-> Anyway
21:42:03 <Steven> just saying, Clerics are fun
21:42:05 <Mort-> Not studying that field
21:42:08 <Mort-> No thank you
21:42:10 <Steven> you get to do crazy stuff
21:42:24 * Mort- tail droopp
21:42:30 <Steven> like having weapons that will attack people on their own
21:42:38 * Steven hugs Mort.
21:42:46 <Steven> its okay...
21:43:10 <Steven> but im totaly going to make you play a cleric if i can ever get CA working on my computer
21:43:29 * Steven cackles maniacly
21:45:23 <Steven> I love Half orc bard feats!
21:45:31 <Steven> War Singer
21:45:37 <Steven> so bad ass
21:46:08 <Steven> Prerequisites: Cha 13, bardic performance class feature, half-orc or orc.
21:46:09 <Steven> Benefit: When you use bardic performance with audible components on a battlefield (any area where a combat involving a dozen or more combatants is taking place), the range or area of your chosen performance is doubled. In addition, the DC for saving throws against your bardic performance is increased by +2 for creatures of the orc subtype, regardless of where the performance occurs.
21:48:44 <Mort-> Lol
21:49:09 <Mort-> No?
21:49:30 <Mort-> I have mek threatening to make a gnome pally out of me
21:49:39 <Steven> YUP!
21:49:43 <Mort-> Now you want to make a cleric out of me :(
21:49:51 <Steven> better hope i never start gming here
21:50:01 * Mort- is a abused mur
21:50:16 <Steven> oh dont get that way
21:50:38 <Steven> i havent even told you about how im going to eventually have you make a pirate
21:50:43 * Steven cackles maniacly
21:50:45 <Mort-> No
21:50:47 <Mort-> You can't
21:50:51 <Steven> YUP!
21:50:56 <Mort-> I am a shining beacon of light
21:51:03 <Mort-> I will not fall to the dark side
21:51:11 <Steven> yeah... all the way till we start up a pirate campaign!
21:51:41 <Mort-> Pirate campaign
21:51:59 <Mort-> I will play xyniel
21:52:07 Fish ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
21:54:47 <Steven> i dont know who that is
21:55:41 <Mort-> She is syn
21:55:47 <Mort-> That's why you never see her
21:56:24 <Steven> you realize that a pirate campaign would be a home brew game righta?
21:57:23 <Steven> and synthesists while powerful are not that great in home brews because dms get to completely customize an encounter, which might be anti summoner
21:57:42 <Mort-> Yeah its ok
21:57:54 <Mort-> I mean I'm fine being what i am
21:58:09 <Mort-> What happens if you walk into an anti magic field though
21:58:27 <Steven> dunno i dont play summoners
21:58:43 <Mort-> That's one thing i worry about
21:59:03 <Mort-> Being dumped into the water once I'm fused doesn't really faze me
21:59:34 matt has quit (Quit: Colloquy for iPhone - http://colloquy.mobi)
21:59:49 <Steven> there are other ways to hurt a summoner a lot
22:00:13 <Mort-> I know some of them :(
22:00:17 <Steven> we have a person who rocks a synthesist
22:00:17 <Mort-> Live with it
22:00:26 <Mort-> Ill rock too
22:00:38 <Steven> and they got destroyed by an earth elemental
22:00:51 <Steven> it was not pretty
22:01:12 <Steven> cause the earth elemental sealed the room
22:01:26 <Steven> and the synth was all alone
22:01:32 <Steven> because they felt invulnerable
22:01:52 <Steven> and went off on their own for a bit
22:02:04 <Steven> and started to attack the synth, so the synth decided to fly
22:02:17 <Steven> and the elemental just waited till the synth ran out of fly
22:02:26 <Steven> and then attacked from under the ground repeatedly
22:02:28 <Mekkis> I've played a synthesist, and a summoner.
22:03:03 <Steven> that was when i showed up and used a stoneshape to make anew door
22:03:17 <Mekkis> how do you do that?
22:03:32 <Steven> its a spell
22:03:37 <Steven> we were under ground
22:03:40 <Mekkis> that affects a very small area
22:03:52 <Steven> not when you're level 17
22:03:59 <Mort-> Syn should be able to fly on their own
22:04:14 DarkDaemon ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
22:04:16 <Mekkis> even then
22:04:25 <Mekkis> it's like a power drill. not like a bulldozer
22:04:38 <Mort-> They don't need magic to fly
22:04:40 <Mort-> They have wings
22:04:48 <Mekkis> 27 cubic feet is 3'x3'x3'
22:04:50 <Mekkis> small
22:05:16 <Steven> you cannot stay in your eidilon form for multiple days w/o taking serious negatives
22:05:40 <Mort-> Fatigue?
22:06:14 <Steven> and mekkis all it needed to do was make it through like 1.5 feet of stone
22:06:28 <Steven> the earth elemental stone shaped the door closed
22:06:34 <Steven> i stone shaped it back open
22:06:50 <Steven> i should stop using the word door
22:07:21 <Steven> cause it was more of just a hallway that ended in a room
22:10:08 <Mort-> Need rope trick to nap
22:10:53 <Steven> it was just an example of how the DM was screwin with the synth
22:11:23 <Steven> it was a pretty craptacular thing to do imo
22:11:30 <Mort-> Umd rope trick and nap stack
22:11:31 <Mort-> Lol
22:12:14 <Steven> yeah at first the syn tried to fight, but wasnt making headway
22:12:37 <Steven> so they used a send message to tell the party were they were
22:12:46 <Mort-> How bad was the earth elf
22:12:49 <Mort-> Ele
22:12:52 <Steven> it was bad
22:12:56 <Steven> we didnt even fight it
22:13:02 <Mort-> Syn generally can outreach everyone
22:13:07 <Mort-> And stuff
22:13:28 <Steven> yeah, but how are you goint to damage something that wont surface unless its to attack you
22:13:44 <Mort-> Hm
22:13:47 <Mort-> Ready action
22:14:00 <Mort-> Your reach > his hopefully
22:14:18 <Steven> it wouldnt surface unless you are within reach though
22:14:54 <Mort-> Be in range then aoo a grapple?
22:15:11 <Mort-> But trying to grapple an earth ele is...
22:15:18 <Steven> a bad idea
22:15:28 <Mort-> Some pack grab on their suits
22:15:30 <Mort-> Really?
22:15:44 <Mort-> I spend too much time with a monk who gropes everything
22:15:47 <Steven> yeah... they have slam attacks and ungodly strength
22:16:20 <Mort-> Syn usually have godly ac though
22:16:24 <Steven> usually in 30+ range
22:16:26 <Mort-> And no dismissal?
22:17:10 <Steven> made the save if i remember correctly
22:17:17 <Steven> it had like +14 to will save
22:17:20 <Mort-> Wow
22:17:35 <Steven> yeah synth was not doing good
22:17:58 <Steven> he readied attacks to move whenever the earth elemental would apear
22:18:06 <Mort-> Ah
22:18:18 <Steven> because the earth elemental kept 'falling' from the ceiling above the synth
22:18:24 <Mort-> How do you kill that thing
22:18:45 <Mort-> Imprisionment?
22:18:51 <Steven> action economy i would suppose, i stoneshapped the door and then we left
22:19:12 <Steven> the synth was exploring a ruin all by himself
22:19:20 <Steven> and ran into the thing
22:19:24 <Mort-> Ah
22:20:15 <Steven> with the spells i remember having
22:20:26 <Steven> probably could have used my jug of endless water
22:20:32 <Steven> stone shaped the door closed
22:20:40 <Steven> and then filled the room like 40 foot deep
22:20:55 <Mort-> Lol hopefully he dissolves?
22:20:59 <Steven> and then went and swam around waiting for it to show up
22:21:05 <Mort-> There was one use of a holy water cannon
22:21:09 <Steven> no, but it would give us a medium to work in
22:21:33 <Steven> cause standing on the floor with an earth elemental is just a bad idea
22:22:03 <Mort-> Yeah earth glide
22:22:34 * Mort- is a stubborn mur
22:22:51 <Steven> but yeah there was no reason to fight it
22:23:08 <Steven> wasnt part of any story line
22:23:16 <Steven> other then kill the annoying Synthesist
22:23:40 <Steven> we were fighting some Uber Vamp
22:24:00 <Steven> and his society of super annoying vamps
22:24:00 <Mort-> Why did the gm hate the synthesist
22:24:04 <Mort-> They are harmless
22:24:16 <Steven> i think it was probabaly the shit ton of attacks
22:24:20 <Steven> massive armor
22:24:22 <Mort-> 7
22:24:24 <Mort-> Actually
22:24:27 <Steven> and huge HP pool
22:24:27 <Mort-> ^^
22:25:11 <Steven> not 100% on that, but to challenge that character
22:25:31 <Mort-> Yeah syn are cool
22:25:38 <Steven> the rest of us were struggling so hard in every fight
22:25:43 <Mort-> Now how do you get your claws to ghost touch
22:26:08 <Steven> it was not fun, which is why we stopped playing it.
22:26:18 <Steven> cause the douche refused to reroll
22:26:19 Sachiru ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
22:26:32 <Mort-> Really too borked?
22:27:01 <Steven> well we were fighting bad guys that would do like 60-80 damage on a non crit hit
22:27:02 <Mort-> As a syn will you really get that?
22:27:18 <Steven> with like +25-30 to hit
22:27:21 <Mort-> God
22:27:30 <Steven> because otherwise there was no way to hit the guy
22:27:56 <Mort-> If you want to fk up a syn
22:28:00 <Steven> and so when the nasties would hit the rest of us it was like well there goes 4/5 of my life pool
22:28:02 <Mort-> Remove his suit
22:28:19 <Steven> they get saves against shit like that unfortunently
22:28:34 <Steven> The synthesist was increadibly well built
22:28:43 <Steven> and i cant fault him for making an amazing character
22:28:47 <Steven> and for wanting to play it
22:28:54 <Mort-> There are weaknesses
22:29:09 <Mort-> Can tell you about it since i was planning on rolling one
22:29:18 <Mort-> Try a whole bunch of wriaths
22:29:28 <Steven> nah, i stay away from synthesists
22:29:32 <Steven> no desire to play one
22:29:48 <Mort-> If you want to kill one
22:29:54 <Mort-> Wriaths.
22:30:00 <Steven> i dont need to kill one
22:30:07 <Steven> if i were ever to GM a world
22:30:13 <Steven> ide just outlaw synthesists
22:30:18 <Mort-> Lol
22:30:27 <Mort-> In pirate world
22:30:35 <Steven> yeah in pirate world... no synthesists
22:30:35 <Mort-> I would be a syn
22:30:41 <Mort-> What?
22:30:47 * Mort- wails loudly
22:30:56 * Steven grins broadly
22:31:25 <Mort-> I want to be a syn
22:31:57 <Steven> I think im going to put the campaign over in moscow on hold for a while, since joe is making things super difficult
22:32:27 <Steven> joe=maker of the world but terrible GM who was replaced by steve
22:32:28 <Mort-> But yeah
22:32:42 <Steven> He made a great world
22:32:45 <Mort-> Another person who won't let me run a syn
22:32:55 <Mort-> Guess why we never see xyniel?
22:32:56 <Steven> Drow=Neutral society instead of Evil society
22:33:13 <Steven> cause joe loves his drow
22:33:40 <Steven> and after it was revealed he thinks his job as a gm is to torture players
22:33:48 <Steven> by killing one every few sessions
22:33:58 <Steven> it was decided someone else would take over
22:34:11 <Mort-> Vol
22:34:12 <Mort-> Lol
22:34:22 <Steven> and now he is super mad
22:34:27 <Mort-> Heh
22:34:34 * Mort- shrugs
22:34:35 <Steven> cause i made the story into the "Fall of the Drow"
22:35:22 <Steven> and their group is just a group of people exploring the Underdark, they will eventually meet up with some priests
22:35:28 <Steven> of that spider god lady
22:35:32 <Mort-> Syn is extremely flavorful for pirate campaign
22:35:35 <Mort-> Loth
22:36:22 <Steven> yeah her, and is going to lul them into exposing more and more people to her, and eventuall corrupt the race
22:36:27 <Steven> or at least that was the plan
22:36:28 <Steven> but now
22:36:44 <Steven> going pirate campaign so i dont have to hear joe cry about how im bastardizing his world
22:36:53 <Mort-> Poor xyniel. Get lots of doors closed to her because she is a syn :(
22:37:07 <Steven> take it to PFS group
22:37:21 <Mort-> Not with avatar around
22:37:36 <Mort-> Mek also knows I'm eating cheese
22:37:49 <Mort-> He helped me with some cheese
22:38:11 <Steven> i keep getting distracted
22:38:19 <Steven> i need to finish my spells
22:39:17 <Mort-> But yes ill never get to see xyniel.
22:41:14 <Steven> Tap inner beauty seems pretty funny
22:41:30 <Mort-> Problem is i don't know how to rp her
22:41:32 <Mort-> Really
22:41:33 <Steven> +2 insight to cha and cha skill chesks
22:41:51 <Mort-> Was focused on how she is supposed to function
22:42:02 <Mort-> Combat wise. Didn't think character wise
22:43:16 <Steven> uhhhh yeah picking this spell
22:43:22 <Steven> Invigorate
22:43:26 <Steven> amazing buff spell
22:43:38 <Steven> This spell banishes feelings of weariness. For the duration, the subject takes no penalties from the fatigued or exhausted conditions. The effect of invigorate is merely an illusion, however, not a substitute for actual rest or respite. When the spell ends, the subject takes 1d6 points of nonlethal damage, along with the return of the original condition(s). A creature can be under the effects of only one invigorate spell at a time; if it is cast
22:43:38 <Steven> a second time on that creature, the first immediately ends.
22:43:52 <Steven> 10m/level
22:45:05 <Steven> okay spells done
22:45:13 <Steven> i need to go nap, see you all later gater!
22:45:25 <Mort-> Damn
22:45:43 <Mort-> Begining to wonder if i should play a pregen on sat
22:52:44 <Mekkis> Mort-, I really don't mind if you play a synthesist
22:58:39 <Hydrazine> hi.
22:58:44 <Mort-> Hi
22:58:50 <Mort-> You don't mind
22:58:58 <Mort-> Avatar and Steven do
22:59:04 <Mort-> So. I won't be rolling one
22:59:26 <Mort-> Besides uh mek you already know in details what I'm up to
22:59:42 <Mort-> Hi hydra. I feel like playing a pregen on sat
23:03:17 <Mekkis> Mort-, one point of roleplaying is to extend your horizons
23:04:35 <Avatar> why don't you roll up a character to play and use that as a pregen
23:05:58 matt ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
23:06:03 <Mort-> I told you i want her first level to be given by a pregen
23:06:13 <Mort-> Her first scenario
23:06:14 Mort- has quit (Quit: Bye)
23:06:21 Mort- ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
23:06:26 Mort- has quit (Quit: Bye)
23:06:28 Mort- ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
23:07:22 <Avatar> that doesn't make any sense
23:08:05 <Mort-> Not to you but yes to me
23:08:40 <Hydrazine> Just does, I guess.
23:08:53 <Mort-> Heh
23:18:36 <Mort-> :( i have a few fixed classes. Not popping further then that
23:19:06 <Mort-> Its like the abilities or play style of the class doesn't really appeal to me
23:24:29 <Avatar-> 3 out of about 12 though?
23:24:41 <Mekkis> Avatar, do you remember the scenario in which Asmel died?
23:25:18 <Avatar-> dumb austnet
23:25:26 <Mort-> Qfp 1
23:25:30 <Mort-> I don't forget
23:25:41 <Avatar-> mort: roll a bard
23:25:42 <Mekkis> I explained to mort how hard it was to play an archer
23:26:03 <Avatar-> is it
23:26:12 <Mekkis> Mort-, the question was aimed at Avatar
23:26:17 <Avatar-> tristen does it pretty well?
23:26:38 <Mort-> I thought you wanted the answer
23:26:53 <Mekkis> I wanted to know if Avatar remembered it
23:27:06 <Mekkis> let's not bring up players into this discussion
23:27:27 <Mekkis> but there is a lot of organisation required in order to not slow a game to a halt
23:27:30 <Mekkis> same with fighters
23:27:37 nodwik_sleep_then_work ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
23:28:14 <Avatar-> well why do you think it's hard
23:28:18 <Mort-> I might play a pregen fighter on sat
23:28:20 <Mort-> Actually
23:28:21 <Mort-> Maybe.
23:28:33 <Mekkis> Avatar-, you notice how I use a whiteboard to keep track of my combat stats?
23:28:34 <Mort-> Just for a vacation
23:28:59 <Avatar-> yeah but you're not an archer
23:29:01 <Mort-> Once is ok. But not really rolling a fighter
23:29:16 <Mekkis> yeah. An archer needs to keep track of more things
23:29:42 <Avatar-> mort just pick a different class that appeals to you even a bit
23:29:48 <Avatar-> doesn't have to be a fighter
23:29:55 matt has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
23:30:33 <Avatar-> I will check out archer closer later
23:31:25 <Mekkis> I mean, when your modifiers are: -2 if making a full attack, +1 if blessed, +1 if hasted, +2 if fighting a human, +1 if within 30', -4 if shooting into cover; and your damage is +2+2d6 if fighting a human, +1 if within 30'
23:31:39 <Mekkis> there's a lot of stuff you need to keep track of
23:32:00 <Mekkis> it's not something you should be looking at during your turn
23:32:12 <Mekkis> it's something you should have ready in advance
23:32:51 <Avatar> yeah
23:32:52 <Mort-> Btw
23:32:53 <Mekkis> as a GM or fellow player, I don't care how you got your +12, I just want to know if it hit, and how much damage it did
23:33:08 <Mekkis> tier 1-2, right?
23:33:15 <Mekkis> I definitely don't want to help you with your maths.
23:33:26 <Avatar> yeah I think it was 1-2
23:33:43 <Mekkis> you might want to revise a post you made on the boards concerning that
23:33:52 <Mekkis> http://paizo.com/forums/dmtz5i18?Rookie-mistakes-leading-to-TPKs#30
23:34:10 <Avatar> oh woops
23:34:26 <Mekkis> :s
23:34:30 <Avatar> it won't let me edit that post anymore
23:34:37 <Avatar> not sure why I thought I'd done 4-5 for that
23:34:47 <Mekkis> I was thinking of posting as Asmel in that thread :S
23:35:08 <Avatar> did it upset you
23:35:15 <Mekkis> not really
23:35:49 <Mekkis> did you see how I ran City of Strangers 1?
23:36:08 <Avatar> no I didn't watch that game
23:36:32 <Mekkis> probably the largest change to tactics I've done
23:36:33 <Avatar> can you restart the minecraft server
23:36:43 <Mekkis> sure
23:36:47 <Mekkis> what's the IP?
23:37:05 <Mort-> Magus is good training for trying to keep numbers straight ^^
23:37:06 <Avatar> 108.174.58.2
23:37:13 <Mort-> Fun times.
23:37:24 <Mekkis> thanks
23:37:31 <Mort-> Ah well. I think i did that accounting bit fine
23:37:31 <Mekkis> that's what I get for not putting it in DNS
