00:00:01 <Hydrazine> Go see if theres anything alive in there.
00:00:21 <Mekkis> come back when there isn't
00:00:28 <Mekkis> 'night
00:00:44 <Hydrazine> I don't think its unreasonable to have a way of reading a yes/no answer from this, even without magic.
00:01:26 <Hydrazine> I mean, police dogs are trained to look for things and alert their handler when they've found it.
00:02:15 <Hydrazine> And an instruction to look for something without any action based on this seems.. well, half assed.
00:04:12 <Urist> true
00:04:41 <Hydrazine> Like the command: "Mort, find me a pencil."
00:06:34 <Urist> so i should give specific orders like: " can you smeel any threats in this room? is so Heel"
00:06:42 <Urist> smell*
00:07:52 <Hydrazine> Well, my whole speech was pretty much that the seek trick shows that you can have an animal companion go and look for things alive/animated.
00:08:10 <Hydrazine> But it doesn't say anything about what they do if they find anything.
00:09:00 <Urist> so what do you suggest?
00:10:03 <Hydrazine> That seek implies that a companion could have an if/then action attached to it.
00:10:42 <Hydrazine> A drug-sniffing dog that reacts the same way to a bag full of crack as it does to a bag full of socks isn't being useful.
00:11:38 <Hydrazine> The same dog that barks or growls or scratches or something, upon finding the stuff, is doing its job.
00:12:11 <Urist> would squeal give us away too much?
00:12:35 <Hydrazine> So I suggest that the seek trick should be treated like it includes, at the very least, communication about the results of the search. A simple yes/no.
00:13:02 <Hydrazine> I don't think having it sit still for no, and run in circles for yes is unreasonable.
00:13:56 <Urist> but if it found a bunch of undead skeletons it would be a bit odd if it runs in circles
00:14:18 <Hydrazine> why?
00:14:39 * Mort- was afk but gives hydrazine a stick instead
00:14:51 <Hydrazine> Did I tell you to give it to me?
00:14:54 <Mort-> (What is a pencil?)
00:15:01 <Hydrazine> Exactly my point.
00:15:08 <Hydrazine> A command to find something with no other action is silly.
00:15:22 <Urist> ok, gotcha
00:16:22 <Mort-> Mighty fists work
00:16:32 <Urist> so if it does find a threat the running in circles could serve as a distraction
00:16:42 <Mort-> But strength is cheaper to add damage and attack rating
00:16:56 <Mort-> However mighty fists lets you overcome dr
00:17:09 <Mort-> Do i get a cookie?
00:17:14 <Mort-> For magic
00:17:54 <Mort-> I was thinking of carrying gmw around then realized if i wanted magic attacks ill just lesser evo surge it
00:18:01 <Mort-> Not an issue
00:18:11 <Mort-> Greater magic fang excuse me
00:18:48 <Mort-> Wouldn't argue that an eidolon has no neck slot really
00:19:19 <Mort-> And maybe a wand of reduce person is a good idea instead of rod of wonder
00:19:35 <Mort-> Again - 6 levels to go
00:19:48 <Mort-> Long time
00:21:46 <MekkisScreen> what third level spells should Itzamna get?
00:21:54 <MekkisScreen> D-Door?
00:21:59 <MekkisScreen> GMF?
00:22:06 <MekkisScreen> SM4?
00:22:33 <MekkisScreen> Black tentacles?
00:22:51 <MekkisScreen> Evolution surge
00:23:07 <MekkisScreen> the problem with summoners is that their spell list is too good :)
00:24:43 <Urist> so my character creation is finally done? thanks for all your help everyone
00:27:21 <Mort-> Evo surge
00:27:31 <Mort-> Gmf i think maybe
00:27:46 <Mort-> Ddoor is a good one too
00:27:51 <Mort-> But you already have it
00:27:53 <Mort-> Np
00:28:02 <Hydrazine> I meant more like it goes, it looks, comes back, and then either sits or runs around.
00:28:08 <Hydrazine> Not at the enemy.
00:28:09 <Mort-> Hydra is cool though
00:28:34 <Urist> ah, but what if it doesnt come back?
00:28:58 <Hydrazine> Overall this is a much bigger speech than I ever thought I would give about animal handling.
00:29:19 <Hydrazine> Could tie a string to it, give it a pull to come back if hes gone too long?
00:29:27 <Hydrazine> Or run in, because its probably found trouble.
00:30:36 <Urist> ok
00:32:21 <Mort-> Screw it give me an imp for scouting any day
00:32:22 <Mort-> :
00:32:26 <Mort-> :p
00:33:18 <Mort-> Screw it why does the dark side get all the goodies
00:33:42 <Hydrazine> Because you never read the Book of Exalted Deers.
00:33:46 <Hydrazine> Deeds.
00:34:31 <Mort-> What does it contain
00:34:51 Sachiru has quit (Quit: Shutting Down )
00:34:57 <Hydrazine> It was a 3.x splat book full of content specifically for good characters.
00:35:11 <Mort-> Aw
00:35:13 <Hydrazine> A pretty good bit of it was crazy overpowered.
00:35:17 <Mort-> Lol
00:35:29 <Hydrazine> But the one that really stands out, is the vow of poverty monk.
00:35:32 <Mort-> I'm thinking of having an earth elemental familiar
00:35:36 <Mort-> Oh that one
00:35:47 <Hydrazine> Yeah, Exalted Deeds is where it came from.
00:35:49 <Mort-> Send him in using earth glide
00:36:10 <Mort-> Then poke nose up and down again all in one round
00:36:12 <Mort-> Possible?
00:36:36 <Mort-> Or worst case just use tremor sense from the ground to see how many pings
00:36:46 <Hydrazine> Just to give you an idea, Mort.
00:37:00 <Mort-> In 6 seconds would you notice an earth elemental doing a submarine thing,g
00:37:05 <Mort-> ?
00:38:03 <Mort-> Damn there was something i wanted to check out
00:38:09 <Mort-> But can't remember what it was
00:38:18 <Hydrazine> A level 10 Vow of Poverty character has.. +7 AC bonus, +1 natural armor, 5 bonus feats, from a special list, +2 good magic on any attack, +1 all saves...
00:38:59 <Hydrazine> +2 base ability bonus, endures heat and cold, does not need to eat..
00:39:03 <Mort-> So what can they not do
00:39:15 <Mort-> What do you pay for the vow
00:39:20 <Mort-> No magic items?
00:40:46 <Hydrazine> No magic items, very few possessions at all, donate your share profit to some form of charity.
00:41:22 <Hydrazine> oh yeah, I forgot the dr 5/magic.
00:43:25 <Mort-> True strike abuse - checked
00:43:37 <Mort-> Gmf and aomf stack or not. Checked
00:44:54 <Hydrazine> +8 AC most likely beats whatever you might have gotten from gear anyway, being a monk.
00:49:05 <Urist> nice im going afk
00:50:34 <Mort-> Mekkis
00:50:53 <Mort-> How did myz cast when using shadow projection
01:08:30 <Mort-> Try a syn :p
01:08:39 <Mort-> More shij
01:08:40 <Mort-> T
01:15:07 <Mort-> Night all
01:36:06 <Hydrazine> I have tea!
01:37:53 <Mort-> Eschew components?
01:41:39 OrangeShark ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
01:44:04 Urist has quit (Ping timeout: 181 seconds)
01:51:46 <OrangeShark> Hydrazine you still there?
01:51:50 <Hydrazine> ?
01:51:56 <Hydrazine> Just finished my tea.
01:52:20 <OrangeShark> ah, i was going to ask you one more thing about my character
01:52:31 <Hydrazine> Hit me.
01:53:00 <OrangeShark> initivate, how much do i get
01:53:19 <Hydrazine> Just dex mod unless you got something specific.
01:53:25 <OrangeShark> i get +2 underground but above ground how much?
01:53:45 <OrangeShark> ok so its +1(+3)
01:54:05 <Hydrazine> Mhm.
01:54:14 <OrangeShark> thanks
01:54:37 <Hydrazine> So you understand the risks of trying to cast spells or ranged attack while you're in melee?
01:54:38 <OrangeShark> and coze gets +1?
01:54:57 <OrangeShark> i think so, its just a bad idea
01:55:27 <Hydrazine> Would you like a practical example?
01:56:14 <OrangeShark> please
01:57:16 <Hydrazine> So for the purpose of the example you and Coze end up in a fight against two hogs with strikingly similar stats to Coze. Mostly because these are convieniently closeby stat blocks.
01:57:41 <Hydrazine> Coze and one hoggy face off and we're going to ignore them for now. The other one comes right at you.
01:58:18 <Hydrazine> He attacks, and lets just say he misses. It is now your turn. Pick a spell you want to cast.
01:58:33 <OrangeShark> ok...
01:58:53 <OrangeShark> Flare
01:59:20 <OrangeShark> if i had it prepared?
01:59:24 <Hydrazine> Even though its your turn, because your casting a spell in melee range, piggy gets an attack of opportunity on you.
01:59:52 <OrangeShark> ok, so he attacks
02:00:12 gorvital ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
02:00:13 <Hydrazine> This represents him taking advantage of a good situation; you aren't defending properly because you're wiggling your fingers in the steps of calling down magical doom, or something like that.
02:00:22 <Hydrazine> !throw 1d20+3
02:00:23 <diebot> Hydrazine, 1d20+3: [1d20=2] 5
02:00:37 <OrangeShark> he misses
02:00:41 <Hydrazine> Crap attempt.
02:00:51 <OrangeShark> try again
02:01:08 <Hydrazine> You cast just fine. Lucky though, note that this gets more dangerous as you level up and the melee combatants you face will outpace your AC gains.
02:01:21 <Hydrazine> Lets say for the sake of example piggy hits.
02:01:27 <Hydrazine> !throw 1d6+1 damage
02:01:27 <diebot> Hydrazine, damage: [1d6=2] 3
02:01:38 <Hydrazine> You take three damage. Not much, but not bad for level 1 fighting.
02:01:41 <OrangeShark> will i be flatfooted, i ill be back in 15 mins igtg again
02:02:06 <Hydrazine> Bah
02:02:26 <OrangeShark> sorry, i need to but i will be back
02:21:36 MincedSushi ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
02:21:56 <Hydrazine> Its Sushi!
02:22:08 <MincedSushi> It's Hydra! :D
02:22:15 <MincedSushi> How be you?
02:22:51 <Hydrazine> Awake.
02:23:00 <Hydrazine> I've been helping Shark here make a character.
02:23:03 <MincedSushi> Are you really?
02:23:13 <Hydrazine> Oh, also I had some comment about how much you'd appreciate his name.
02:23:29 <MincedSushi> I did actually!
02:23:33 <Hydrazine> What, you don't think I can be helpful?
02:23:43 <MincedSushi> I noticed it when I was looking at the scheduled game
02:24:03 <MincedSushi> That comment was aimed at being awake xD
02:24:07 <Hydrazine> I have a friend who goes by OpalMonkey. After your discussion on names I find it more amusing.
02:24:19 <MincedSushi> Isn't it ><
02:24:37 <Hydrazine> I also had a pretty thorough rant about the seek trick in handle animal. What would you say is reasonable use of this?
02:24:51 <MincedSushi> I stand by my assertion on naming conventions
02:25:06 <Hydrazine> I like mine.
02:25:10 <MincedSushi> Well give me the gist of your rant
02:25:21 <Hydrazine> In another game, my alternates are Meclizine and Diazane.
02:25:23 <MincedSushi> What purpose are you looking of the seek trick?
02:25:51 <Hydrazine> Well, my issue is that RAW do not include the animal DOING anything with the information he gains on a seek.
02:25:58 <Hydrazine> Which strikes me as bloody stupid.
02:26:46 <Hydrazine> I seek your opinion on this before I go into the further details of my rant.
02:28:35 <MincedSushi> I would rule that the animal enters and area and makes active perception or survival checks based on how you are using it.
02:28:46 <Hydrazine> And then?
02:28:57 <MincedSushi> Whatever would lead you to find the intended target
02:29:16 <MincedSushi> And then it gives a tell that it found the target at which you give it another command?
02:29:31 <Hydrazine> 'communicates this to his handler' a fair paraphrase?
02:29:43 <MincedSushi> Yes
02:29:57 <MincedSushi> More than accurate
02:30:01 <Hydrazine> I completely agree. That was the bulk of my rant, highly simplified.
02:30:53 <Hydrazine> The specific discussion stemmed from whether or not our new player's druid could send his small boar companion with stealth, perception, and seek, to tell us if theres anything interesting around the next corner.
02:31:20 <Hydrazine> by anything interesting I mean something either obviously alive or moving.
02:31:37 <Hydrazine> Which I thought was a pretty cool use of an animal companion.
02:31:44 <MincedSushi> Yes absolutly he could
02:32:10 <MincedSushi> When he teaches the animal the trick he sets the tell
02:32:13 <Hydrazine> So I went and had a look and saw that there doesn't seem to be clarity in RAW that Piggy could come back and give us an answer about it.
02:32:21 <Hydrazine> Then I got mad and had a spew.
02:33:56 <MincedSushi> Yea...
02:34:17 <MincedSushi> The problem is it isn't clar
02:34:30 <MincedSushi> It infers that you make active perceptions
02:34:40 <MincedSushi> And nothing else
02:35:14 <MincedSushi> However that's not how animals are trained to seek in real life.
02:36:05 <MincedSushi> So I have to include the one small detail in that that it doesn't implicitly mention
02:38:55 <MincedSushi> I could certainly see how someone might rule against a tell. Which would make the trick near useless. It would be reserved for tracking on a large scale instead and only that.
02:43:56 <MincedSushi> Honestly since the handle animal skill says the tricks are not limited to the ones there. Teach him " Seek with a tell." Problem solved.
02:51:47 <OrangeShark> hey, sorry i had to do some work, so i took 3 points of damage
02:52:48 <MincedSushi> xD
02:52:56 <MincedSushi> And such is the way of things
02:53:07 <MincedSushi> It's good to meet you Shark
02:55:38 <OrangeShark> haha, nice to meet you too sushi :)
02:58:03 <OrangeShark> so, how are you?
02:59:09 <MincedSushi> Breakfast :D
02:59:10 <Hydrazine> Ah.
02:59:37 <MincedSushi> So are you new around these parts or just been away for awhile?
02:59:44 <Hydrazine> Yeah, so you take 3 points of damage. Now you have to make a concentration check in order to maintain the focus necessary to finish your spell.
03:00:03 <OrangeShark> i just started, ok so i
03:00:04 <Hydrazine> the DC is 10+damage taken+ spell level. So for this example, 13.
03:00:29 <Hydrazine> The roll is d20+caster level+main casting stat.
03:00:37 exBoomerET ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
03:00:48 <OrangeShark> !throw 1d20
03:00:49 <diebot> OrangeShark, 1d20: [1d20=3] 3
03:00:55 <Hydrazine> So 1d20+5.
03:00:55 <OrangeShark> damn
03:01:04 <Hydrazine> Thats an 8.
03:01:07 <OrangeShark> ook
03:01:11 <Hydrazine> Which does not beat 13.
03:01:21 <Hydrazine> Which means you just wasted a spell, and did absolutely nothing.
03:01:50 <OrangeShark> ah, ok, but i have unlimited orisons?
03:01:56 <Hydrazine> Yes.
03:02:15 <Hydrazine> But for the most part orisons aren't really what you want to be casting in combat anyway.
03:02:17 <OrangeShark> so, i never do spells at melee range
03:02:39 <Hydrazine> And it just gets harder to do at higher levels, and with higher level spells, even bigger resources wasted.
03:03:06 <OrangeShark> ok, so can we continue the example?
03:03:22 <OrangeShark> does he roll to attack now?
03:03:24 <Hydrazine> Also note that next its the boar's turn, and he gets his regular attack. So hes effectively hitting you twice in one round, and you aren't doing anything to him at all yet.
03:03:31 <Hydrazine> assuming you don't move, yep.
03:03:58 <OrangeShark> ok, but im not flat footed this time right?
03:04:09 <Hydrazine> You weren't flat footed before either.
03:04:24 <Hydrazine> So the lesson here, is tht you don't just cast in melee.
03:04:38 <Hydrazine> You either take the concentration check to not get hit doing it, or you get out of melee first.
03:04:42 <OrangeShark> oh, sorry, exactly i wont do that in the future
03:04:55 <Hydrazine> The first comes with risk though.
03:05:23 <OrangeShark> what concentration checks?
03:05:23 <Hydrazine> To not get hit while casting, is the same roll against DC 15+2xspell level.
03:05:42 <Hydrazine> so 1d20+5 against.. for a level one spell, 17.
03:06:09 <Hydrazine> Kinda bad odds, yeah?
03:06:34 <OrangeShark> yeah really bad
03:06:45 <OrangeShark> i plan not getting close and personal anyway
03:06:57 <OrangeShark> on getting*
03:07:20 <OrangeShark> but i have a spear and shield if i do
03:08:11 <Hydrazine> I'll be back. Feel free to leave questions for me.
03:08:43 <OrangeShark> ok, where should my concentration checks be in skills?
03:09:10 <MincedSushi> It isn't a skill
03:09:44 <OrangeShark> ok, thanks
03:09:56 <MincedSushi> It's something fundamental to being a caster. Something similar to save DCs.
03:10:19 <OrangeShark> ok, thanks
03:10:21 <MincedSushi> Of course there are blank spots all over your sheet you can just fill it in for funs
03:10:35 <MincedSushi> No problem
03:11:08 <OrangeShark> so its 1d20+5.
03:11:15 <OrangeShark> ?
03:11:30 <OrangeShark> sorry heres my char sheet
03:11:35 <MincedSushi> You have an 18 wis right?
03:11:42 <OrangeShark> i do
03:11:47 <MincedSushi> Then yes it would be
03:12:04 <OrangeShark> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/viewchar.php5?char=451
03:12:08 <OrangeShark> thanks
03:12:33 <MincedSushi> Going for a more caster druid I see.
03:12:41 <OrangeShark> i am
03:12:45 <MincedSushi> Dwarf druid xD
03:12:49 <MincedSushi> I love it
03:13:07 <OrangeShark> haha, i was orignally thinking gnome
03:13:55 <MincedSushi> gnome is fun but a dwarf druid is honestly quite original
03:14:05 <MincedSushi> Will be fun to think up story there ^^
03:14:11 <OrangeShark> but if i had to use a sling or spear i couldnt
03:14:24 <OrangeShark> haha will
03:14:38 <OrangeShark> i could say i hate the dwarven society
03:15:11 <MincedSushi> UM skill focus is only a +3 toa skill
03:15:32 <OrangeShark> and always wanted to leave, and search adventure in the wilds
03:16:03 <OrangeShark> thanks i changed it
03:16:30 <MincedSushi> Not a big fan of a communist social class with a ruling monarchy?
03:17:05 <MincedSushi> Dwarves social structures is so weird xD
03:17:15 <OrangeShark> no the economic state as such just the industrial side
03:17:29 <OrangeShark> mining is unnatural
03:18:07 <OrangeShark> and being a druid im not a big fan
03:18:34 <OrangeShark> but that doesnt resolve how i became a druid
03:18:57 <OrangeShark> i could say always like the natural caverns of the underdark
03:19:13 <OrangeShark> and came into contact with a faerie
03:19:51 <OrangeShark> who told me to leave on a quest to bring natural order to the world
03:20:16 <OrangeShark> and that goods with my allignment
03:20:38 <OrangeShark> goes*

03:38:25 <MincedSushi> since we got 6 hours roleplay can definitily be a part of it
03:38:52 <MincedSushi> With pfs you will see more combat than roleplay
03:39:07 <OrangeShark> nice :)
03:39:22 <OrangeShark> and you dont have to go out of your way for me
03:39:45 <OrangeShark> if you want to run the higher one , do
03:40:52 <MincedSushi> Would nto be an issue
03:41:10 <Hydrazine> Someone'll let me know if the game tonight has room?
03:41:14 <MincedSushi> Most people want to do a lower one to get their new chars some play time.
03:41:48 <exBoomerET> Yea, my 1st level can't play the 6-7 tier of course.
03:42:43 <OrangeShark> cool, and ofc hydra ill be on this if there is room
03:42:43 <Hydrazine> I have two level ones!
03:42:56 <Hydrazine> And a level 2.
03:42:59 <OrangeShark> what are they?
03:43:34 <OrangeShark> class wise and race
03:44:02 <exBoomerET> <- Human cleric
03:44:27 <Hydrazine> My level two is a wrestling monk.
03:44:38 <OrangeShark> nice, who is your god/goddess?
03:44:57 gorvital ([email protected]) has left #d&d
03:45:01 <Hydrazine> My level 1s are a skill/social rogue, and a crazy witch of bad mojo.
03:45:33 <MincedSushi> If there's room I'd like in. I have a polearm fighter and a wizard for play
03:45:41 <Hydrazine> A polearm fighter huh>
03:45:47 <Hydrazine> Those're getting popular these days.
03:45:49 <exBoomerET> <- Desna
03:45:49 * Hydrazine fistbump.
03:46:24 <Hydrazine> I find it quite interesting though how the polearm fighters all seem to work quite differently.
03:46:38 <Hydrazine> I like how you get variety even in a rather specfic fighter archetype.
03:46:47 <Hydrazine> Whats the plan for yours?
03:46:56 <MincedSushi> I've always enjoyed polearms
03:47:22 <MincedSushi> I actually learned spear forms as a kid and spears really are my iconic weapon as a result
03:48:04 <MincedSushi> I plan to go half and half with vivsector alchemist
03:52:03 <MincedSushi> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/viewchar.php5?char=434
03:52:46 <Hydrazine> Something different every time.
03:53:11 <MincedSushi> o/
03:54:05 <exBoomerET> Parney: http://www.pfrpg.com.au/viewchar.php5?char=422
03:54:29 <MincedSushi> You get the sneak attack of a rogue and the buffs a caster while only losing 2 bab
03:54:51 <exBoomerET> On my sheet, what does CR 1/2 mean? Is that the same CR that monsters have? But I'm only .5?
03:55:03 <MincedSushi> I thought parney has played 3 games now
03:55:13 <exBoomerET> Nope, just two :(
03:55:25 <MincedSushi> You shouldn't have that cr 1/2 there xD
03:55:36 <MincedSushi> IT means nothing for your sheet
03:55:49 <exBoomerET> Ok, that was generated from Hero Lab.
03:55:53 <Hydrazine> Yeah.
03:56:00 <Hydrazine> I'm gonna label it extra crap.
03:56:02 <Hydrazine> And go with that.
03:56:07 <exBoomerET> Hahahaha, ok.
03:56:16 Forevernade has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
03:56:50 <Hydrazine> Interesting, Sushi. I wish to see this in action.
03:57:35 <Hydrazine> I like that we have three different polearm fighters who all work completely differently.
03:58:29 <MincedSushi> Of course~ The reach weapons all have a very different set of abilities
03:58:46 <Hydrazine> Not even really discussing weapon specifics.
03:59:07 <MincedSushi> xD
03:59:28 <MincedSushi> kay~
03:59:54 <Hydrazine> We got Jerus, who fights by tripping enemies to keep them away and protect his friends, and then hitting really hard and bringing cleave to chop through multiple enemies.
04:00:15 <MincedSushi> .:nodnod:.
04:01:04 <Hydrazine> Salv's preferred combat style is setting up a 15 (or it might be 20) foot combat patrol area, and working over any poor bastard who dares move or do anything provoking in it.
04:01:48 <MincedSushi> lol
04:02:36 <Hydrazine> And then we got your new one, whose going to do something different. Can't wait.
04:03:22 <Hydrazine> Funny how our past sticks with us. When I was younger, I did a bit of martial arts and kick boxing. I love monks.
04:03:30 <Hydrazine> Dying to see the upcoming changes for them.
04:05:34 <MincedSushi> Changes in the works for them?
04:05:42 <Hydrazine> So I have heard.
04:06:55 <MincedSushi> Hmmm...
04:07:23 <MincedSushi> I doubt they are going to be super errated. Maybe some really major archetypes?
04:07:25 <Hydrazine> http://paizo.com/forums/dmtz5nkc?Core-Rulebook-on-Amazon-is-5th-Printing#38
04:08:34 <Hydrazine> The fact that you immediately look towards major archetypes as changes I think is part of the statement that the base class by itself has problems.
04:09:00 <OrangeShark> will the update be free?
04:10:07 <MincedSushi> Not nessecarily
04:10:12 <Hydrazine> Well, the entire pathfinder system as a whole, I would say updates more like an online game patches.
04:10:30 <MincedSushi> I like the monk class as it is but it needs mroe stats than 20 point buy will get you to work
04:10:32 <Hydrazine> They post errata and such that apply changes to the rules as printed in the books. These are legal rules.
04:10:51 <Hydrazine> I agree, Sushi.
04:11:16 <MincedSushi> I only say archtypes and the like because logically making my entire monk class that's printed useless would piss me off and Iw ouldn't be the only one.
04:11:56 <Hydrazine> Well, the post I linked to is specifically about whether they can put monk changes into the next printing of the book.
04:12:04 <MincedSushi> YOu honestly need at least a 16 in str, dex, and wis
04:13:04 <Hydrazine> I think the overall problem is that the monk as a class has a ton of very good defensive benefits, and what appears at the surface to be some decent offense
04:13:19 <Hydrazine> but trying to actually have both at the same time is difficult at best.
04:14:06 <MekkisScreen> Mort-: want to hear some cheesy bullshit?
04:14:30 <MincedSushi> Yes
04:14:36 <Mort-> Sure
04:14:37 <Mort-> Lol
04:14:40 <MekkisScreen> ok
04:14:43 <MincedSushi> That sums it up nicely
04:14:44 <MekkisScreen> half-orc archer
04:14:50 <Mort-> You know i always have a ear for cheese
04:14:56 <MekkisScreen> toothy racial trait to get the bite attack
04:15:02 <Mort-> I think hydra should listen
04:15:03 <MekkisScreen> combat expertise.
04:15:27 <MekkisScreen> in your full attack action, declare combat expertise, firing off your bow at the enemy
04:15:35 <Mort-> Yeah was considering it on kharn who is my home game thug
04:15:38 <MekkisScreen> then attack an adjacent square with your bite to allow it to work
04:15:40 <Mort-> But too late now
04:15:58 <Mort-> Aoo for using range?
04:16:02 <Hydrazine> Thank you.
04:16:15 <Mort-> Attacking an adjacent square?
04:16:26 <Mort-> How can you attack an empty square
04:17:01 <Mort-> Why couldn't you just use combat expertise straight
04:17:10 <MincedSushi> Hydra, I have to admire your economy of words and the eloquence that follows. It more than allows anyone to understand the points at which you try to get across.
04:17:21 <Mort-> Without even attacking adjacent square
04:18:14 <MincedSushi> That's three times today alone :D
04:18:54 <Hydrazine> I play a monk currently, and I have fun with him. I had to use some severe stat min/maxing and some clever building to get him where he is now.
04:19:54 <Hydrazine> Hes overall very strong against singular humanoid opponents, offensive and defensively, through a very heavy grapple focus. But if that doesn't work.. Hes pretty weak.
04:20:22 <OrangeShark> well you dont want him too op
04:21:05 <OrangeShark> knowing the boundaries keep it fun i think
04:21:30 <MincedSushi> The problem is most any other class min/maxd to that level are far stronger
04:21:44 <MekkisScreen> because you need a melee attack
04:21:48 <OrangeShark> oh, ok
04:22:02 <MekkisScreen> combat expertise is +AC -melee attack
04:22:11 <MincedSushi> For monk to work for it's inteded purpose you almost have to minmax
04:22:26 <MincedSushi> Which shows a focus on stats that was prevelent in 3.5
04:22:42 <MincedSushi> Pathfinder wanted to do away with that focus.
04:22:50 <Hydrazine> A monk just doesn't get the same milage out of a 20 point buy as his peers.
04:24:19 <Avatar> that is cheesy
04:24:29 <Hydrazine> Low strength and you can't hit anything. When a fight comes around, and it will, monks are supposed to melee. Its why they get flurry and big unarmed damage dice, no? But low str and you can't.
04:24:36 <MekkisScreen> and it's BS
04:24:59 <Hydrazine> Low dex and your AC suffers. You can't just slap on full plate to get around it.
04:25:08 <OrangeShark> i understand
04:25:17 <Hydrazine> Low wisdom, same thing. And it affects your ki, and stunning DCs.
04:25:39 <Hydrazine> Low con and you get taken down the first time something actually does get through your ac.
04:26:48 <Hydrazine> I think they also suffered really hard from the somewhat recent flurry errata.
04:27:13 <OrangeShark> do monks get the ferocity as a feat?
04:27:22 <Hydrazine> ferocity?
04:27:30 <Hydrazine> You mean like your boar?
04:27:40 <MincedSushi> brb guys
04:27:44 MincedSushi has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
04:28:08 <OrangeShark> yeah, it said creature i wasnt thinking
04:28:22 Forevernade ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
04:28:52 <Hydrazine> There is a feat for similar. Pretty sure anyone can take them.
04:28:59 <Hydrazine> Diehard.
04:31:40 <OrangeShark> its a good feat
04:32:06 <Hydrazine> Takes two feats to get to it though.
04:32:21 <Hydrazine> Everyone evaluates feat taxes differently.
04:32:41 <Hydrazine> Atleast one person around here thinks I'm crazy for taking cleave just to get cleaving finish.
04:33:07 <Hydrazine> But if I had a nickel for every time Jerus was a total badass in a fight by cleaving down two guys in a turn..
04:33:17 <Hydrazine> Well, he could probably buy a new weapon or something.
04:33:59 <Mort-> Lol
04:34:11 <Mort-> Say you need someone beside you to use it
04:34:34 <Mort-> I need help with armor spikes
04:34:48 <OrangeShark> yeah its a good domino effect but the -2 to ac is a bit harsh
04:35:13 <Hydrazine> No. I don't use cleave. I use cleaving finish. No penalty.
04:37:13 <OrangeShark> that is good, but what is the draw back?
04:37:25 <Hydrazine> What draw back?
04:37:49 <Hydrazine> Its more specific. I can't do it whenever. It only works when an opponent is taken down from an attack.
04:38:05 <OrangeShark> ah, just reread,
04:42:16 MincedSushi ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
04:43:54 <OrangeShark> so i know i sound like a broken record but my first game is in an hour and im pysched, any last minute advice?
04:44:11 <Hydrazine> Actually, there is something.
04:44:14 <Hydrazine> Its really important.
04:44:16 OrangeShark has quit (EOF from client)
04:44:22 <exBoomerET> Oops
04:44:25 <Hydrazine> ...So he leaves.
04:46:04 Urist ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
04:46:17 <Hydrazine> So aslong as you rememeber that, you should be fine!
04:46:36 <Urist> haha funny could you repaste that
04:46:41 <Urist> :)
04:46:44 <Hydrazine> Lol. I waited.
04:46:46 <exBoomerET> Yes, and if that doesn't work, you could always try my idea.
04:46:47 <Hydrazine> I was gonna say.
04:46:56 <Hydrazine> Make sure you have fun.
04:47:43 <Urist> thanks, im sure i will :)
04:48:18 <exBoomerET> Didn't see sheet, you have a cross-bow right?
04:48:26 <Hydrazine> Hes a druid, sling.
04:48:38 <exBoomerET> Ahh, ok.
04:48:48 <Urist> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/viewchar.php5?char=451
04:48:58 <Hydrazine> Boomer's covering the base that all characters should pack a ranged weapon.
04:49:16 <Urist> ah,
04:49:19 <Hydrazine> Because you never know when the enemy is just too damn far away. Or when theres something inconvinient between.
04:49:32 <Hydrazine> I think I'm gonna pick up some javelins on Jerus.
04:50:10 <Hydrazine> Because I don't quite want to spend the money on an appropriate strength composite bow, and hes strong enough to get better use out of thrown.
04:50:11 <exBoomerET> What VTT are you using? I assume it's from the Google+ PFS group?
04:50:31 <Urist> VTT?
04:50:38 <Urist> mIRC
04:50:47 <exBoomerET> How you doing mapping?
04:51:08 <exBoomerET> Or is it all IRC?
04:51:12 <Hydrazine> Depends on whose doing it.
04:51:15 <Urist> maptool i think
04:51:17 <Hydrazine> Hes trying to play, not DM, Boomer.
04:51:30 <Hydrazine> So yeah, you either need maptools or CA.
04:51:49 <Urist> i dl'ed both just incase
04:52:09 <Urist> can never be too prepared
04:52:14 <exBoomerET> Or Tabletop Forge, or d20pro, or TTopRPG, or roll20, and adnauseum.
04:52:34 <exBoomerET> Oops, forgot Klooge, FantasyGrounds II
04:52:45 Urist has quit (EOF from client)
04:53:44 <Brunius> I should stop spamming ChanOP when I connect to the server
04:53:51 Urist ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
04:54:35 <Urist> just hope my internet stays stable haha
04:55:17 <Hydrazine> My serious suggestions, read over the whole combat chapter once or twice. Not necessarily because I think combat is the most important part of the game, but it is where rules are likely to swamp the unprepared, and probably more likely to kill your character than say, trying to ford a river.
04:57:19 <Hydrazine> Even though rivers can be dangerous, I think it has more.. room for error than say, a particularly bad step in combat that can get you three axes in the face.
04:57:26 <exBoomerET> That, and the class section dealing specifically with druids and spells (osirons, channeling, etc)
04:57:44 <Hydrazine> Druids channel?
04:58:16 <exBoomerET> Uh, I just assumed they did.
04:58:17 <MincedSushi> Hey man. Little Timmy died everytime I tried to ford the river!
04:58:31 <exBoomerET> Belay my last.
05:00:16 <Hydrazine> Yeah, boomer has a point. The key to being an effective caster, is understanding that your spells are very powerful tools, and being careful to A, pack the tools you think you will need, and B, to know when the situation is right to use them.
05:01:09 <Hydrazine> And point A is why I avoid prepared spell casters. I never pick the right stuff.
05:01:34 <MincedSushi> xD
05:02:19 <MincedSushi> Well wizards with bonded items get one spontaneous spell :D
05:02:30 <MincedSushi> Very helpful ina jam
05:02:41 <Hydrazine> Mort has this trick she does, with using area effect spells in timing and position to catch alot of bad guys and none of the good guys.
05:02:45 <Hydrazine> I find it rather impressive.
05:03:31 <exBoomerET> Damn kickstarter
05:03:41 <MincedSushi> You din't see me with Rezzie the other night did you?
05:04:32 <Hydrazine> Ezren?
05:04:35 <MincedSushi> I showed her a thing or two... She needs to be less timid.
05:04:38 <MincedSushi> Yes
05:04:48 <Hydrazine> I think I was there for that.
05:04:53 <Hydrazine> Maybe.
05:05:06 <MincedSushi> You should ahve been on jerus
05:05:06 <Hydrazine> Hey, when is today's game supposed to be?
05:05:20 <Hydrazine> ..Wasn't I?
05:05:29 <MincedSushi> 9pm est
05:05:45 <MincedSushi> I don't know if you let someone else play him xD
05:05:51 <MincedSushi> I never assume these things
05:06:15 <Hydrazine> Never!
05:06:43 <Hydrazine> I mean, me and Jerus got sick together.
05:06:50 <Hydrazine> Thats like player-character bonding yo.
05:07:04 <MincedSushi> lol
05:07:21 <Hydrazine> Me and my character got nauseated together, Boomer.
05:07:25 <Hydrazine> It was.. uncanny.
05:07:50 <MincedSushi> xD
05:08:23 <exBoomerET> Hehehe
05:08:28 <Urist> damn its 9 pm est, that another 6 hours my bad haha
05:08:45 <exBoomerET> I think I was the only one that didn't get sick the last game I played.
05:08:59 <exBoomerET> I thought it was hilarious, I was the only person in the room.
05:09:02 <Hydrazine> As in you the player?
05:09:05 <MincedSushi> ??
05:09:10 <exBoomerET> So I ran out screaming like a little girl.
05:09:19 <exBoomerET> Yes, my player.
05:09:24 <exBoomerET> Well, Parney
05:09:49 <Hydrazine> I mean, boomer, that I, the player, and my charactr Jerus, got sick together.
05:09:50 <Urist> how does fear work?
05:10:09 <Hydrazine> I puked my guts out, got back to my chair... rolled a fort save, and Jerus got nauseated.
05:10:50 <exBoomerET> Was it something you ate?
05:11:17 <exBoomerET> You weren't doing 40 degree rolls at 400 feet were you?
05:11:42 <exBoomerET> That would scare the bejesus out of me.
05:11:45 <MincedSushi> lol
05:11:55 <MincedSushi> No me and him were having a skype drinking contest
05:12:10 <MincedSushi> I never asked what you were drinking Hydra
05:15:25 <Hydrazine> Its about as bad as Sohei having to attack the ground with half of their flurry, Mekkis, because since its like twf, you can't make all the attacks with a singular weapon, and you can't hold two polearms.
05:16:43 <Hydrazine> Appleton Special.
05:17:20 <Hydrazine> http://www.beveragewarehouse.com/images/products/3656.gif
05:17:23 <MincedSushi> Rum
05:17:25 <MincedSushi> Nice
05:18:03 <Hydrazine> I think it was more the fish than the rum.
05:18:09 <Hydrazine> But really, a bit of both.
05:18:17 <MincedSushi> Fish?
05:18:28 <MincedSushi> I'm not sure I understand at all
05:18:32 <Hydrazine> Had some fish for dinner that night.
05:18:40 <MincedSushi> ah~
05:18:53 <MincedSushi> I'm more a whiskey fan
05:18:56 <MincedSushi> maybe scotch
05:19:18 <MincedSushi> For gaming I only dirnk the cheap stuff though.
05:19:54 <Hydrazine> Well, it was either that or the wrey and nephew overproof.
05:20:01 <Hydrazine> And I wanted to be sensible.
05:20:05 <Hydrazine> So I took the appleton.
05:22:06 <Hydrazine> http://www.ministryofrum.com/rumdetails.php?r=398
05:22:42 <MincedSushi> Oh wow
05:22:47 <Hydrazine> See what I mean?
05:22:49 <MincedSushi> THat's some strong booze!
05:23:41 <MincedSushi> I know nothing fo rum but I'm certain it doesn't normal go over 80 proof
05:24:13 <exBoomerET> Hahahaha, not aged.
05:24:50 <exBoomerET> 125 proof, ug.
05:25:15 <MincedSushi> I'm guessing ti tastes just like rubbing alcohol?
05:26:14 <Urist> Hydra, you know that example we did earlier, could i have taken a move action then cast flare? Also, that is some strong rum, what is it % wise?
05:27:23 <exBoomerET> It's 62.8% alcohol, or 125.6 proof
05:28:35 <Urist> thats insane! my usual, JB is 40% and i taught that was high haha
05:28:49 <Urist> Jim Beam
05:28:54 <Hydrazine> Yeah. This is why I drank the appleton instead.
05:29:04 <Hydrazine> Because if I drank that, I wouldn't be playing D&D.
05:29:22 <Hydrazine> Its actually not the strongest I've had.
05:29:41 <Urist> true, have you ever tried absense?
05:30:08 <Urist> sorry absinthe
05:30:19 <MincedSushi> We used to have absinthe parties
05:30:48 <Hydrazine> http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f220/ookichinpoko/DSC00368.jpg
05:31:04 <Hydrazine> I took that. Granted its blurry as hell, but thats because I had already had some before.
05:31:27 <Hydrazine> http://www.marketviewliquor.com/product/polmos-spirytus-rektyfikowany-rectified-spirit-192prf-cordials-750ml.html?utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=versafeed&utm_term=22425&utm_campaign=food+beverages+tobacco+beverages+liquor+spirits&utm_content=polmos+spirytus+rektyfikowany+rectified+spirit+192prf+750ml&v_traceback=c0611_0700_f0611_0702
05:31:29 <Hydrazine> But its that.
05:32:28 <MincedSushi> That's the same amount of alcohol as my rubbing alchohol in the bathroom
05:32:32 <MincedSushi> . . .
05:32:43 <Urist> that spirytus stuff would kill you
05:32:56 <Hydrazine> I ever tell you about my visit to Japan, Sushi?
05:33:05 <MincedSushi> No you haven't
05:33:10 <MincedSushi> What part?
05:33:58 <Hydrazine> So my boat pulled into Yokosuka if thats how you spell it, like 3 weeks after my 21st.
05:34:32 <Hydrazine> I actually turned 21 the day we LEFT Sasebo, which means I didn't get to do anything at all fun on it.
05:34:57 <Hydrazine> So my first night in Yokosuka, me and the boys go bar hopping.
05:35:33 <MincedSushi> Oh gawd
05:35:34 <Hydrazine> And we end up in this bar that's quite literally this old lady's apartment living room. It seated about 7, if you squished in close.
05:35:54 <exBoomerET> Hahaha
05:36:02 <Hydrazine> And upon hearing about the bad news concerning my birthday, she prepared me a special drink
05:36:32 <Hydrazine> She called it the 'Narita Express'. This drink consisted of 151, absinthe, and that Spirytus.
05:36:48 <MincedSushi> Oh my
05:36:49 <Hydrazine> I don't remember the actual quantities of each. It wasn't my first drink of the night.
05:37:01 <MincedSushi> I'm googling this now
05:37:24 <Hydrazine> For you math nerds, Those are, in proof: 151, ~140ish, and 196.
05:37:52 <Hydrazine> I remember that it tasted like licorice and fire.
05:37:56 <Hydrazine> I remember I had maybe two more.
05:38:06 <Hydrazine> I remember drinking alot of water. And then I don't remember much.
05:38:21 <MincedSushi> lol
05:38:24 <MincedSushi> I bet not
05:38:32 <Hydrazine> But I hear I did some karaoke.
05:39:12 <Urist> haha, while in japan...
05:39:40 <Hydrazine> And I do remember the immediate vicinity of the front gate of the base.
05:39:48 <MincedSushi> http://www.drunkt.com/craziest-drink-ive-had/?
05:39:52 <Urist> but its made from snake venom?
05:40:20 <MincedSushi> Habu sake is
05:40:24 <MincedSushi> That much I know
05:40:29 <exBoomerET> Did you ever have a 'Nuke Waste'
05:41:07 <Hydrazine> I clearly remember approaching it, the front gate, worried that the guards would catch on to how shitface drunk I was and give trouble.
05:41:14 <exBoomerET> Only place I know of that serves it is the Horse & cow in San Diego and H&C in Vallejo (which no longer exists)
05:41:20 <exBoomerET> They were Submariner bars
05:41:36 <Hydrazine> No, never had one. I didn't do Sub bars.
05:41:52 <Hydrazine> I think she told me it was absinthe and not habu sake, but maybe it was.
05:41:53 <MincedSushi> Never heard of that one either
05:42:00 <MincedSushi> All the bars around here are really safe
05:42:36 <MincedSushi> You could probably substitute absinthe
05:42:44 <Hydrazine> The dumbest drink I ever tried..
05:42:57 <Hydrazine> Was a straight shot of Devils Springs vodka.
05:43:10 Mort- has quit (*.net *.split)
05:43:10 Avatar has quit (*.net *.split)
05:43:11 MekkisScreen has quit (*.net *.split)
05:43:11 S711 has quit (*.net *.split)
05:43:11 <Hydrazine> Which is very close in proof to spirytus.
05:43:24 <Hydrazine> It says on the bottle, "DO NOT DRINK THIS STRAIGHT"
05:43:37 <Hydrazine> So ofcourse we took it as a challenge. Turns out they were right. I had a sore throat for a week.
05:43:52 <Urist> haha, id say so

05:44:34 <Hydrazine> I don't regret the Narita Express. That was fun, that was adventure. The straight devil's springs, that just fucking hurt.
05:45:26 <MincedSushi> I want one so badly
05:46:01 <Hydrazine> habu sake?
05:46:08 <Hydrazine> How about instead, a koala?
05:46:08 <Hydrazine> http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f220/ookichinpoko/DSC00166.jpg
05:47:13 <exBoomerET> I had my picture taken w/ a Koala when we were in .au
05:47:56 <Hydrazine> I used to work next to the Death Star.
05:47:57 <Hydrazine> http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f220/ookichinpoko/bs.jpg
05:48:29 <exBoomerET> Which plant is that?
05:48:36 <Hydrazine> D1G.
05:49:01 <exBoomerET> Nuke school?
05:49:12 <Hydrazine> Mhm.
05:49:18 <Hydrazine> We called it the Dig ball.
05:49:25 <Hydrazine> In winter, it had Digalanches.
05:49:44 <Hydrazine> See all those buildings close to it? Those aren't there anymore.
05:49:54 <exBoomerET> I used to think it hilarious the antics of people who would break into nuke plants, and run their car into the cooling tower thinking it was the reactor.
05:50:05 <exBoomerET> Dumb shit liberals
05:50:09 <Hydrazine> Heh.
05:50:18 <Hydrazine> I think overall though it goes back to the education system.
05:50:36 <Hydrazine> They don't teach average joe dick about nuclear power or radiation.
05:50:59 <Hydrazine> Which is why everything can get so exaggerated.
05:52:31 <exBoomerET> In order to bad-mouth nuclear energy, I think you need to know at least how a coffee maker heats up your water.
06:00:11 <exBoomerET> I'm all for the green-house effect, screw the left.
06:00:24 <exBoomerET> Hot babes, less clothes. Need I say more?
06:01:12 <Hydrazine> Thats what I missed about Florida when I left it.
06:04:01 <exBoomerET> I love working here at GAP, so happy I don't work in sausage factories anymore!
06:09:12 <Mort-> Urk
06:09:24 <Mekkis> Hydrazine, take a level of synthesist
06:09:26 <Mekkis> then you can :)
06:09:32 <Mekkis> or alchemist
06:12:03 <Hydrazine> Having to take another classes to make a monk work says that the monk just doesn't work.
06:12:53 <Hydrazine> I am going to go have a swim. Later folks.
06:13:43 <Mekkis> if you knew monk didn't work, why did you roll one up?
06:14:18 <Hydrazine> Trying to work around it. I guess I could specify that example to sohei.
06:18:26 <Mekkis> the workaround is either to have an accommodating GM who allows it, to take some levels in other classes, or give up
06:19:28 <mortswishytail> Hoku works fine
06:19:40 <Hydrazine> Provided the target can be grappled.
06:19:43 <mortswishytail> Against one guy at a time that is
06:19:47 <mortswishytail> What can't be
06:19:55 <mortswishytail> You grab anything that moves
06:20:01 <mortswishytail> Crocs.
06:20:04 <Hydrazine> Something too big, for example.
06:20:10 <mortswishytail> Ghouls
06:20:35 <mortswishytail> That's why you need the spring loaded wrist sheathed
06:20:45 <mortswishytail> And a potion of enlarge person
06:20:49 <mortswishytail> Matter settled
06:21:22 <mortswishytail> What was pin rules
06:21:31 <mortswishytail> One size larger or same size only
06:22:34 <Mort-> Mekkis
06:22:54 <Mort-> Would you allow a floating disc to cars
06:23:02 <Mort-> Carry players?
06:23:10 <Mort-> Like luggage
06:23:16 <Mekkis> probably
06:23:31 <Hydrazine> Why not?
06:23:39 <Hydrazine> If its within size and weight limits..
06:26:33 <Mort-> Will be ^^
06:27:17 * Mort- has plans!
06:27:17 <Mort-> If it is not directed it maintains a distance of 5 ft from you
06:27:35 <Mort-> So its next to you or a 5 ft gap away
06:27:44 <Hydrazine> adjacent.
06:27:51 <Hydrazine> 5ft away IS the next square.
06:27:55 <Mort-> Next to you?
06:28:12 <Mekkis> hey
06:28:19 <Mekkis> give your eidolon UMD and a wand!
06:28:29 <Mekkis> wow
06:28:31 <Mekkis> that's a cool idea
06:30:22 <Mort-> That is good
06:30:34 <Mort-> If you're doing a master summoner
06:30:41 <Mort-> They have half evo points
06:31:06 <Mort-> Making them not too good combatants
06:33:20 <Mort-> If not otherwise directed, it maintains a constant interval of 5 feet between itself and you.
06:33:33 <Mort-> So is it next to you or not
06:35:04 <Hydrazine> so if a game square is a 5ft square. two objects at the center of two adjacent squares are.. 5 ft away from eachother, yes?
06:36:17 <Hydrazine> I think a better question is: Does the game include anything at all for measuring horizontal distances in less than 5 foot increments?
06:37:26 <Mort-> Imo yes
06:37:35 <Mort-> This is for kalara
06:37:52 <Mort-> Unless jerus would like mort to move him?
06:38:08 <Mort-> That can be arranged as well
06:38:08 <Hydrazine> I think Jerus gets around just fine on his own.
06:38:34 <Mort-> Ah i suppose so
06:38:55 <Mort-> I'm seeing who i get to push around :p
06:39:04 <Mort-> Or drag into the melee with me
06:39:23 <Avatar> you're thinking too mechanically hydrazine
06:39:56 <Mort-> Id just say next to me at a point i choose
06:40:00 <Avatar> there's loose rules saying you can occupy the same square based on size, and swarms can occupy the same square obviously, and you can move through other people's squares by "moving around" them
06:40:18 <Avatar> exactly how far away each thing is moot isn't it
06:40:27 <Hydrazine> My point is it can't be closer than 5 ft away without being in the same square. And since its atleast 5 feet away, it must be in an adjacent square.
06:41:02 <Avatar> pretty much
06:41:11 <Avatar> there are times when you can have a 6ft or 8ft space
06:41:21 <Avatar> but either way they still have to be adjacent or moving through
06:41:44 <Hydrazine> Not sure how I feel about this approach though, Mort.
06:41:46 <Avatar> like when there's something cylindrical in the room
06:42:19 <Hydrazine> I think it comes from the difference between thinking about turns as actions occurring within the same 6 seconds and thinking of turns in order of events.
06:43:05 <Hydrazine> for example, if you're on a horse, your horse double-moves. Can you then use your turn to jump off the horse and go further, in the same direction?
06:45:38 <Mort-> I would say yes if you got your quick dismount right
06:45:45 <Mort-> But that's me for you
06:45:48 <Hydrazine> I would say no.
06:46:06 <Hydrazine> In order to ride a horse for the horse's entire double move, you had to be on the horse for the whole turn.
06:46:14 <Mort-> Ok
06:46:22 <Hydrazine> Otherwise, you dismount somewhere along the way, and the horse goes on without you.
06:46:27 <Mort-> But its my turn to push the other person around
06:46:50 <Hydrazine> and its the horse's turn carry a rider for a double move.
06:46:57 <Mort-> Thing is just get the rules hammered out and ill roll with them
06:47:06 <Hydrazine> but both these turns are the same space of time, yes?
06:47:11 <Mort-> Does that mean the other person does not get a full round action?
06:47:16 <Mort-> Yes/mo
06:47:28 <Mort-> Say i move just before him
06:47:39 <Mort-> Use my move action to direct the disc
06:47:55 <Mort-> With the person on top to wherever i chowpd
06:47:57 <Mort-> Choose
06:49:02 <Hydrazine> Then during part of this turn, hes spending time moving on something else.
06:49:30 <Hydrazine> Would you also say that someone doing this could be carried adjacent to an enemy, and full attack on their turn?
06:50:49 <Mort-> Yes that was what i was aiming for
06:50:54 <Mort-> The latter
06:51:15 <Mort-> The former is nice but not really necessary
06:51:45 <Hydrazine> A mounted combatant cannot take a full attack in a turn where his mount is moving linearly towards the enemy, since for part of the turn, the rider was not at the enemy to attack them.
06:51:56 <Hydrazine> Do you see how this is very similar?
06:54:51 <Mekkis> hehe
06:56:25 <Avatar> wow
06:56:33 <Avatar> I just took a test for a job on windows xp competency
06:56:37 <Avatar> I got 100%
06:56:40 <Mekkis> oh no
06:56:46 <Avatar> but apparently the global average is 77%
06:56:48 <Mekkis> how do you set up filesharing on windows XP?
06:56:57 <Avatar> no man it was shit like "open my computer"
06:57:04 <Avatar> "create a new folder called 'Letters'"
06:57:17 <Mekkis> was there a question on "what command do you use to enable IPv6 on windows XP"?
06:57:23 <Avatar> the global average is 77%
06:57:29 <Avatar> no
06:57:38 <Avatar> shit like "open my computer"
06:57:47 <Hydrazine> empty the recycle bin?
06:57:52 <Avatar> yep empty the recycle bin was one
06:57:58 <Mekkis> I would congratulate you... but it's BS
06:58:16 <Avatar> yeah I'm not after congratulations, I am bewildered that the global average is 77%
06:58:35 <Hydrazine> You would congratulate him, but its rather like congratulating him for wiping his own bum, something you expect anyone of his age to be able to do?
06:58:47 <Mekkis> pretty much, Hydrazine
06:59:13 <Mekkis> How do you turn off "idiot mode" on windows XP?
06:59:27 <Hydrazine> uninstall XP?
06:59:47 <Avatar> does XP have idiot mode
06:59:52 <Mekkis> yes
06:59:56 <Mekkis> it's on by default
07:00:06 <Avatar> I don't recall that
07:00:12 <Avatar> except for uh
07:00:18 <Avatar> hide file extensions for known file types
07:00:27 <Avatar> which is really microsoft being idiots
07:01:19 <Mekkis> turning it off involves: 1) Changing the theme to windows classic; 2) Turn off Hide File Extensions for known file types; 3) Turn on Show Hidden Files; 4) Change the folder view to Details; 5) Turn off the welcome screen; 6) Turn on nolmhash in the registry
07:01:41 <Avatar> oh yeah, windows classic isn't default in XP
07:01:56 <Avatar> this test was in idiot mode
07:02:00 <Mort-> Well i was eating a burger
07:02:02 <Mekkis> yuck
07:02:20 <Mort-> And sigh my agent wants me to apply for a job
07:02:27 <Mekkis> windows 7 has more steps
07:02:49 <Mort-> And I'm sort of busy these few days with me bringing my office work own
07:02:52 <Mort-> Home
07:03:15 <Mort-> I've already skipped my weekly pfs session on table to
07:03:20 <Mort-> Top
07:03:40 <Mort-> And I'm sick. On top of everything else
07:03:43 <Avatar> aren't you playing on saturday
07:04:27 <Mort-> I would have been playing my thug yesterday had i not decided it was better to go home and do office worn
07:04:29 <Mort-> Work
07:04:30 <Mort-> Gah
07:05:01 <Mort-> I also didn't feel like talking much in real life with this flu on
07:05:20 <Mort-> I only have 24 h in a day fk it
07:05:48 <Mort-> Am i really supposed to push several nights without sleep?
07:05:53 <Mekkis> no
07:05:54 * Mort- growls
07:06:04 <Mekkis> but you're not supposed to take work home if they're not paying oyu
07:06:17 <Mekkis> or you might end up a crispy lemur
07:06:19 <Mort-> You do what you must when you must
07:06:28 <Mort-> Well that is true
07:06:37 <Mort-> No ones catching me at it so far
07:07:33 <Mort-> But there is simply no way i can get that much work done on time
07:08:05 <Mort-> How do you type out a ninety page document, edit 1000 other documents
07:08:15 <Mort-> All before the weekend comes?
07:09:28 <Mort-> Well by sat all this would have blown over
07:09:36 <Mort-> Whether i live through it or not
07:09:52 <Mort-> So screw it I'm going to spend sat partying
07:10:30 * Mort- moper
07:10:39 * Mort- mopes.
07:10:48 <Mort-> Is there a cloning spell for myself?
07:10:56 <Mort-> So we can do stuff double time?
07:11:32 <Mort-> I mean there's no way i can get all this done on time
07:11:39 <Mort-> Gawd damn it
07:12:41 <Mort-> Its hard being a mur
07:13:20 <Mort-> I probably should have spent last weekend doing office work instead of pfs ><
07:13:34 <Mort-> Again. I had a great time that i don't regret :p
07:14:48 <Mort-> Well again i was intending to get some office work done but my cousins comp was down
07:14:54 <Mekkis> Mort-, regular expressions?
07:15:17 <Mort-> What regular expressions
07:15:27 <Mekkis> I'm not sure
07:15:34 <Mekkis> what documents do you need to edit?
07:15:45 <Mort-> Its all on the office server
07:16:05 <Mekkis> what edits do you need to make?
07:18:45 exBoomerET has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
08:11:20 <Urist> Hello?
08:25:30 <Avatar> yo
08:26:25 <MincedSushi> hey
08:30:43 <Avatar> urist: skill focus is +3, not +4
08:31:20 <Urist> ok, will change it
08:32:08 <Avatar> you can ditch the specialisation/opposed schools bit next to SPELLS because that's for wizards only
08:32:20 <Avatar> same with DEITY bonuses, because you're not a cleric
08:32:57 <Urist> ok
08:34:42 <Urist> any other mistakes or am i good to play?
08:35:30 <Urist> have one question though
08:35:48 <Avatar> you're good to play, everything you're doing now is optimising I think
08:36:30 <Urist> can i do a move action then a cast action to prevent an attack of opertunity?
08:36:49 <Urist> cast spell action*
08:37:12 <Avatar> you mean if someone is in melee with you?
08:37:22 <Urist> yes
08:37:38 <Avatar> people in melee have a "threat" range, which is usually every square adjacent to them
08:37:55 <Avatar> if you move out of it normally with your 20/30ft speed, then you provoke an attack of opportunity just by moving
08:37:57 <Urist> but if i move to the 5ft back from them
08:38:04 <Avatar> but you can take a 5ft step to avoid provoking an aoo
08:38:11 <Avatar> 5ft steps never provoke
08:38:38 <Urist> cool, so what do you think i should optimise?
08:39:52 <Urist> but i can do thst in one go?
08:39:58 <Urist> that*
08:40:05 <Urist> round*
08:58:16 <Avatar> have a look at this: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/races/core-races/dwarf
08:58:22 <Avatar> scroll down to alternate racial traits
08:58:24 <Avatar> near the bottom
08:58:50 <Avatar> see if there's any of those you might prefer
09:03:48 <Urist> what about steel soul?
09:04:16 <Avatar> whatever you like man
09:04:22 <Avatar> you don't have to ask
09:04:46 <Urist> but i already have two already
09:04:56 <Avatar> two what
09:05:19 <Avatar> steel soul isn't on that list
09:05:23 <Avatar> did you click the link
09:05:49 <Urist> i did
09:05:57 <Avatar> steel soul is a feat
09:06:06 <Avatar> scroll down to where it says Alternate Racial Traits
09:06:11 <Mort-> Urgh
09:06:18 <Mort-> Feel sick
09:06:23 <Mort-> Again i am sick
09:06:33 <Urist> you ok mort?
09:06:40 <Avatar> you sound sick
09:06:47 <Urist> haha
09:06:53 <Mort-> I'm not
09:06:54 <Mort-> Ok
09:07:07 <Mort-> I have a flu. Would love to call in sick
09:07:07 <Avatar> it seemed for a moment maybe you were ok
09:07:15 <Avatar> call in sick if you are sick
09:07:17 <Mort-> So i can pfs instead of work
09:07:19 <Avatar> that's what calling in sick is for
09:07:32 <Avatar> just make sure you're getting the rest you need to get better
09:07:34 <Mort-> But that's really not right.
09:07:49 <Mort-> If i can pfs i definitely can work
09:07:52 <Avatar> sometimes you can rest and play depending on how sick you are
09:07:55 <Avatar> but you are still sick
09:08:08 <Avatar> yeah but if you go to work you can make other people sick and you won't be productive
09:08:15 <Avatar> and you'll either stay sick or get worse
09:08:29 <Avatar> better you stay home and get better and go back when you're 100%
09:08:53 <Avatar> if you can get better while playing pfs, then you can do that, but only if you're sure you're getting the rest you need
09:09:06 <Mort-> Nah. The company saw me go to the doctor yesterday
09:09:21 <Avatar> it's not about whether they believe you or not
09:11:09 <Mort-> Ill go to work
09:11:16 * Mort- groans
09:11:21 <Avatar> and make other people sick
09:11:31 <Mort-> If i had a fever i would stay at home
09:11:41 <Avatar> so you aren't really sick then
09:11:50 <Mort-> Yeah but there is already another guy coughing in the corner
09:12:01 <Mort-> I told you I'm not really very sick
09:12:13 <Avatar> oh it sounded like you were sick
09:12:18 <Mort-> If there wasn't a pfs game on Google group
09:12:19 <Avatar> you are ok though
09:12:30 <Mort-> We wouldn't be having this discussion :d
09:12:38 <Mort-> Sniffing and coughing some
09:12:51 <Avatar> so you are ok
09:13:24 <Avatar> urist: did you find that list
09:13:30 <Urist> i have 2 dwarven traits, Zest for Battle and Tunnel Fighter
09:13:42 <Avatar> those are "traits"
09:13:48 <Avatar> "racial traits" are different
09:13:52 <Urist> so do i pick two more?
09:14:03 <Avatar> no, you can pick replacements for the racial traits you have
09:14:14 <Avatar> did you find the list
09:14:19 * Mort- sighs. Yes avatar. Yes.
09:14:20 <Urist> i did
09:14:28 <Avatar> what's the first one listed there
09:14:31 <Avatar> just so we're on the same page
09:14:34 <Mort-> I just want to look for an excuse to stay home to pfs
09:14:48 <Avatar> then go to work
09:16:28 * Mort- whines
09:16:40 <Avatar> Urist?
09:16:57 <Urist> sorry im being a bit dim atm, so i replace these with what exactly
09:17:02 <Urist> ?
09:17:06 <Avatar> what is the first one listed there, first?
09:17:17 <Avatar> you said you found the list
09:17:25 <Urist> Ancient Enmity
09:17:31 <Avatar> cool
09:17:42 <Avatar> on your sheet under misc bonuses
09:17:46 <Avatar> you've listed your racial traits
09:17:54 <Urist> Im looking at Magic Resistant
09:18:15 <Avatar> see at the end of the description for magic resistant, it says it replaces the hardy trait
09:18:24 <Urist> oh, ok ill change them now
09:18:33 <Avatar> make sure you're happy with replacing it
09:18:46 <Avatar> sometimes it can look good but it'll replace something else that's good
09:18:49 <Mort-> Magic resistant mek said
09:18:55 <Mort-> That its a waste of time
09:18:57 <Urist> im not really, ill replace something else
09:19:04 <Avatar> let him take what he wants
09:19:10 <Mort-> Because people you fight always have more levels then you
09:19:15 <Mort-> He told me before
09:19:19 <Mort-> I wanted to do it once
09:19:23 <Mort-> I believe him.
09:19:29 <Avatar> do you have a dwarf character
09:20:54 <Urist> i do, ill pick Lorekeeper
09:20:58 <Mort-> No
09:21:11 <Mort-> But i do what mek tells me to do
09:21:23 <Mort-> Except roll gnomes
09:21:38 <Urist> its better than greed
09:23:06 <Avatar> yeah lorekeeper looks superior to greed
09:28:18 <Mort-> What's lorekeepdr
09:28:33 <Mort-> I'm slow and lazy today
09:28:34 <Urist> after reading knowledge hisory it doesnt look to good
09:29:01 <Avatar> it is good
09:29:12 <Urist> explain, please
09:29:20 <Avatar> all the knowledge skills will give you extra information that you'd rather know about than not know about
09:29:34 <Avatar> it's like a free clue with a successful roll
09:29:39 <Mort-> Like if you saw a mort
09:29:46 <Avatar> not like if you saw a mort
09:29:49 <Avatar> don't confuse the newbies
09:29:52 <Mort-> Time to do knowledge nature :p
09:30:19 <Mort-> Then you will realise morts love chocolate chip cookies
09:30:28 <Urist> my knowledge nature is good +7
09:30:34 <Mort-> And will follow you around if you give them one :d
09:30:47 <Mort-> Do you get what knowledges are for?
09:31:08 <Urist> but seriously, knowledge history does do anything really
09:31:32 <Avatar> I just told you man
09:31:35 <Mort-> You go to a place
09:31:40 <Urist> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/skills/knowledge
09:31:40 <Avatar> [09:29] <Avatar> all the knowledge skills will give you extra information that you'd rather know about than not know about
09:31:40 <Avatar> [09:29] <Avatar> it's like a free clue with a successful roll
09:31:41 <Mort-> There is a haunt there
09:31:55 <Avatar> I wasn't joking :P
09:32:02 <Urist> oh, ok cool
09:32:19 <Mort-> Knowlegdge history may tell you how the haunt came into please
09:32:21 <Mort-> Place
09:32:36 <Mort-> Thus maybe a clue how to stop it
09:32:43 <Mort-> But for sheer monster identifications
09:33:06 <Mort-> You want planes dungeoneering
09:33:17 <Avatar> mort relax
09:33:18 <Mort-> Religon and nature
09:33:21 <Avatar> we're talking racial traits
09:33:29 * Mort- jumps up and down
09:33:38 * Mort- is excitable
09:33:49 <Avatar> out of control
09:34:00 * Mort- sniffs
09:51:12 <Mort-> Ah
09:51:21 * Mort- fluffs
09:52:01 <Mort-> Sushi you around?
10:01:39 <Mort-> My brother played a Fighter who acted more like a classical Paladin. He was Lawful Good in action, and when he felled the ogre and routed the goblins, he took up his treasures and went to town. He gave gold old widows, and rode children around on his steed, and he donated to churches, and fed the, clothed the cold, and paid for medicines and healing for the sick. He did this just because it was what his character did. Not because he was mechanically obligate
10:01:44 <Mort-> Oh
10:01:53 * Mort- eyes widen with wonder
10:07:52 <Urist> hey mort-?
10:08:08 <Mort-> Ye?
10:08:21 <Mort-> I'm usually trolling boards
10:08:30 <Mort-> Avatar says i scare people
10:08:32 <Mort-> :(
10:09:09 <Urist> dont say that, just be yourself
10:09:46 <Hydrazine> She does. Thats the scary part.

10:13:34 <Mort-> I am myself
10:24:26 <MekkisScreen> I dislike it when people stereotype on class
10:24:32 <MekkisScreen> it's horrible
10:25:19 <Mort-> Ah
10:26:13 <Avatar> so do I, except when we're talking about synthesists
10:30:36 * Mort- has a bite and 2 claws
10:33:57 <MekkisScreen> the synthesist is one of the best options for disassociating class with character
10:36:59 <Mort-> Actually i like summoners a lot now
10:37:12 <Mort-> You can do all kinds of stuff with them
10:37:26 <Mort-> Anything your imagination can come up with
10:38:59 <Mort-> How does true strike work with multiple attackq
10:41:53 <Mort-> Urist look sharp and get ready to get on skype
10:42:03 * Mort- nips urist
10:42:09 <Avatar> did you actually stay home to play pfs instead of going to work even though you're not sick
10:42:28 <Urist> i dont know the GM's skype
10:42:57 <Urist> wel i do but my skype wont find it
10:43:02 <Urist> well*
10:43:18 <Avatar> it's a bit late to try and fix it as the game is supposed to start
10:43:33 <Urist> i have 20 mins
10:43:49 <Avatar> what's your skype name
10:44:40 <Avatar> you've definitely got the right one
10:45:33 <Urist> mrjack.anderson
10:46:33 <Urist> i do
10:47:08 <Avatar> I've messaged him to add you
10:47:16 <Urist> thanks man
10:47:27 <Mort-> Ok
10:47:32 <Mort-> Good luck
10:47:50 <Urist> Cheers Mort-
10:48:07 * Mort- tries to cast bless on urist but realises she doesn't have any divine caster levels
10:48:18 <Urist> haha
10:48:31 * Mort- casts infernal healing on urist instead ^^
10:48:32 <Avatar> and that you can't cast anything, since this is reality
10:48:35 MincedSushi has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
10:48:46 <Mort-> Heh true
10:48:49 <Avatar> he's added you urist
10:48:50 <Mort-> Im off to work
10:49:36 <Urist> really? are you sure he got the right jack?
10:49:59 <Avatar> I added you too, did you get that
10:49:59 <Mort-> Get what i mean by character separation? :p
10:50:17 <Avatar> you didn't say anything about character separation
10:50:28 <Urist> nope try my email, its [email protected]
10:50:58 <Mort-> I told him not use same character name as his irc nick
10:51:18 <Avatar> yeah I definitely added you, it matches the username
10:51:19 <MekkisScreen> A theory would suggest that real cops do smash-in-the-front-door
10:51:20 <MekkisScreen> searches in order to prove they're not vampires. It might cause far
10:51:20 <MekkisScreen> less stress if they could simply show people the cop's reflection in a
10:51:21 <MekkisScreen> mirror instead.
10:51:29 <Avatar> look harder for the invite
10:51:36 <Mort-> Lol
10:51:49 <Mort-> Cops aren't vampires
10:52:01 <Mort-> They don't have sunlight sensitivity
10:53:06 <Urist> oh i had the skype offline im an idiot haha
10:53:25 <Mort-> But some folklore states that mirrors show your true form
10:53:40 <Avatar> did you find it
10:53:47 <Mort-> So should i look into a mirror i would have 4 paws and a tail?
10:53:53 * Mort- muses

12:59:49 <Mort-> And mekkis. How could you
13:00:04 <Mort-> Fried mur? :(
13:00:37 <Mort-> You're a wicked sick bastard to consider eating a cool fluffy mur like me :(
13:00:44 <MekkisScreen> is it really fried if incinerated by a breath weapon?
13:01:50 <Mort-> But?
13:01:55 <Mort-> I'm a mur!
13:02:07 <OrangeShark> i fell kinda angry was looking forward to it and all, but enough ranting hows is everyone?
13:02:08 <Mort-> I've done you no wrong :(
13:02:16 <Mort-> Why are you doing it
13:02:16 <MekkisScreen> you recommended a subpar dish!
13:02:21 <Mort-> What?
13:02:25 <Mort-> Its your tastes
13:02:36 <MekkisScreen> the Ipoh is rather bland
13:02:40 <Mort-> We have good ipoh hor fun here
13:02:47 <Mort-> Its your tastes. Not my fault
13:02:58 <Mort-> Seriously.
13:03:14 <Mort-> Or maybe they do it badly there
13:03:18 <MekkisScreen> not my fault I prefer toasted lemur
13:03:54 <OrangeShark> oh a lemur, i was wondering what a mur was haha
13:04:13 * Mort- wails loudly and hides behind hydrazine
13:04:41 <Mort-> Well seriously mek. Next time you ask for food advice i won't give you any :)
13:04:41 <MekkisScreen> She's actually a lemure
13:04:52 <MekkisScreen> not a lemur
13:04:54 <Mort-> No. There is no e
13:05:15 <Mort-> Else i may get smited by nosey pallies
13:05:20 <Mort-> I am a lemur.
13:05:27 <Mort-> Without the e at the back
13:05:35 <MekkisScreen> that's what she wants you to think!
13:07:00 <OrangeShark> what kind? one of those stripped ones with the yellow eyes
13:07:20 <Mort-> The one from magadascar
13:07:28 <OrangeShark> touche
13:07:29 <Mort-> With huge eyes and a fluffy tail
13:07:42 <Mort-> A mouse lemur

13:07:54 <MekkisScreen> Nope
13:07:57 <MekkisScreen> she's a lemurewe
13:07:59 <Mort-> You need to keep monsters away from me.
13:08:03 <MekkisScreen> lemure even

13:59:34 <MekkisScreen> what should I get for Perfection?
13:59:41 <MekkisScreen> I'm thinking a belt of strength
13:59:56 <MekkisScreen> unless amulet of mighty fists works
14:16:21 <Mort-> Mighty fists work
14:16:40 <Mort-> But strength is cheaper to add damage and attack rating
14:16:55 <Mort-> However mighty fists lets you overcome dr
14:17:13 <Mort-> For magic
14:17:53 <Mort-> I was thinking of carrying gmw around then realized if i wanted magic attacks ill just lesser evo surge it
14:18:00 <Mort-> Not an issue
14:18:10 <Mort-> Greater magic fang excuse me
14:18:46 <Mort-> Wouldn't argue that an eidolon has no neck slot really
14:19:18 <Mort-> And maybe a wand of reduce person is a good idea instead of rod of wonder
14:19:33 <Mort-> Again - 6 levels to go
14:19:47 <Mort-> Long time
14:21:45 <MekkisScreen> what third level spells should Itzamna get?
14:21:53 <MekkisScreen> D-Door?
14:21:57 <MekkisScreen> GMF?
14:22:04 <MekkisScreen> SM4?
14:22:32 <MekkisScreen> Black tentacles?
14:22:50 <MekkisScreen> Evolution surge
14:23:06 <MekkisScreen> the problem with summoners is that their spell list is too good :)
14:27:19 <Mort-> Evo surge
14:27:30 <Mort-> Gmf i think maybe
14:27:45 <Mort-> Ddoor is a good one too
14:27:50 <Mort-> But you already have it
14:38:02 <Mort-> Damn there was something i wanted to check out
14:38:08 <Mort-> But can't remember what it was
14:43:23 <Mort-> True strike abuse - checked
14:43:36 <Mort-> Gmf and aomf stack or not. Checked
14:50:33 <Mort-> Mekkis
14:50:51 <Mort-> How did myz cast when using shadow projection
15:37:52 <Mort-> Eschew components?

18:14:55 <MekkisScreen> toothy racial trait to get the bite attack
18:15:01 <Mort-> I think hydra should listen
18:15:01 <MekkisScreen> combat expertise.
18:15:26 <MekkisScreen> in your full attack action, declare combat expertise, firing off your bow at the enemy
18:15:34 <Mort-> Yeah was considering it on kharn who is my home game thug
18:15:37 <MekkisScreen> then attack an adjacent square with your bite to allow it to work
18:15:38 <Mort-> But too late now
18:15:57 <Mort-> Aoo for using range?
18:16:14 <Mort-> Attacking an adjacent square?
18:16:25 <Mort-> How can you attack an empty square
18:16:59 mekkis_tablet has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
18:17:00 <Mort-> Why couldn't you just use combat expertise straight
18:17:20 <Mort-> Without even attacking adjacent square
18:21:43 <MekkisScreen> because you need a melee attack
18:22:01 <MekkisScreen> combat expertise is +AC -melee attack
18:24:18 <Avatar> that is cheesy
18:24:35 <MekkisScreen> and it's BS

20:09:11 <Mort-> Urk
20:09:22 <Mekkis> Hydrazine, take a level of synthesist
20:09:25 <Mekkis> then you can :)
20:09:31 <Mekkis> or alchemist
20:12:02 <Hydrazine> Having to take another classes to make a monk work says that the monk just doesn't work.
20:13:41 <Mekkis> if you knew monk didn't work, why did you roll one up?
20:14:17 <Hydrazine> Trying to work around it. I guess I could specify that example to sohei.
20:18:24 <Mekkis> the workaround is either to have an accommodating GM who allows it, to take some levels in other classes, or give up

20:20:03 <Hydrazine> Something too big, for example.
20:20:09 <mortswishytail> Ghouls
20:20:34 <mortswishytail> That's why you need the spring loaded wrist sheathed

20:27:15 * Mort- has plans!
20:27:16 <Mort-> If it is not directed it maintains a distance of 5 ft from you
20:27:34 <Mort-> So its next to you or a 5 ft gap away
20:27:43 <Hydrazine> adjacent.
20:27:50 <Hydrazine> 5ft away IS the next square.
20:27:53 <Mort-> Next to you?
20:28:10 <Mekkis> hey
20:28:17 <Mekkis> give your eidolon UMD and a wand!
20:28:27 <Mekkis> wow
20:28:30 <Mekkis> that's a cool idea
20:30:21 <Mort-> That is good
20:30:33 <Mort-> If you're doing a master summoner
20:30:40 <Mort-> They have half evo points
20:31:05 <Mort-> Making them not too good combatants
20:33:19 <Mort-> If not otherwise directed, it maintains a constant interval of 5 feet between itself and you.
20:33:32 <Mort-> So is it next to you or not
20:35:03 <Hydrazine> so if a game square is a 5ft square. two objects at the center of two adjacent squares are.. 5 ft away from eachother, yes?
20:36:15 <Hydrazine> I think a better question is: Does the game include anything at all for measuring horizontal distances in less than 5 foot increments?
20:37:25 <Mort-> Imo yes
20:37:34 <Mort-> This is for kalara
20:37:51 <Mort-> Unless jerus would like mort to move him?
20:38:07 <Mort-> That can be arranged as well
20:38:07 <Hydrazine> I think Jerus gets around just fine on his own.
20:38:33 <Mort-> Ah i suppose so
20:38:53 <Mort-> I'm seeing who i get to push around :p
20:39:03 <Mort-> Or drag into the melee with me
20:39:22 <Avatar> you're thinking too mechanically hydrazine
20:39:55 <Mort-> Id just say next to me at a point i choose
20:39:58 <Avatar> there's loose rules saying you can occupy the same square based on size, and swarms can occupy the same square obviously, and you can move through other people's squares by "moving around" them
20:40:17 <Avatar> exactly how far away each thing is moot isn't it
20:40:26 <Hydrazine> My point is it can't be closer than 5 ft away without being in the same square. And since its atleast 5 feet away, it must be in an adjacent square.
20:41:00 <Avatar> pretty much
20:41:10 <Avatar> there are times when you can have a 6ft or 8ft space
20:41:20 <Avatar> but either way they still have to be adjacent or moving through
20:42:29 <Hydrazine> Not sure how I feel about this approach though, Mort.
20:42:29 <Avatar> like when there's something cylindrical in the room
20:42:29 <Hydrazine> I think it comes from the difference between thinking about turns as actions occurring within the same 6 seconds and thinking of turns in order of events.
20:42:30 <Urist> i dont know the GM's skype
20:42:58 <Urist> wel i do but my skype wont find it
20:43:04 <Urist> well*
20:43:20 <Avatar> it's a bit late to try and fix it as the game is supposed to start
20:43:35 <Urist> i have 20 mins
20:43:48 <Hydrazine> for example, if you're on a horse, your horse double-moves. Can you then use your turn to jump off the horse and go further, in the same direction?
20:43:50 <Avatar> what's your skype name
20:44:41 <Avatar> you've definitely got the right one
20:45:34 <Urist> mrjack.anderson
20:45:36 <Mort-> I would say yes if you got your quick dismount right
20:45:44 <Mort-> But that's me for you
20:45:47 <Hydrazine> I would say no.
20:46:05 <Hydrazine> In order to ride a horse for the horse's entire double move, you had to be on the horse for the whole turn.
20:46:12 <Mort-> Ok
20:46:21 <Hydrazine> Otherwise, you dismount somewhere along the way, and the horse goes on without you.
20:46:26 <Mort-> But its my turn to push the other person around
20:46:34 <Urist> i do
20:46:48 <Hydrazine> and its the horse's turn carry a rider for a double move.
20:46:56 <Mort-> Thing is just get the rules hammered out and ill roll with them
20:47:05 <Hydrazine> but both these turns are the same space of time, yes?
20:47:09 <Avatar> I've messaged him to add you
20:47:10 <Mort-> Does that mean the other person does not get a full round action?
20:47:15 <Mort-> Yes/mo
20:47:17 <Urist> thanks man
20:47:27 <Mort-> Say i move just before him
20:47:29 <Mort-> Ok
20:47:33 <Mort-> Good luck
20:47:38 <Mort-> Use my move action to direct the disc
20:47:51 <Urist> Cheers Mort-
20:47:54 <Mort-> With the person on top to wherever i chowpd
20:47:55 <Mort-> Choose
20:48:08 * Mort- tries to cast bless on urist but realises she doesn't have any divine caster levels
20:48:19 <Urist> haha
20:48:33 * Mort- casts infernal healing on urist instead ^^
20:48:33 <Avatar> and that you can't cast anything, since this is reality
20:48:47 <Mort-> Heh true
20:48:50 <Avatar> he's added you urist
20:48:52 <Mort-> Im off to work
20:49:01 <Hydrazine> Then during part of this turn, hes spending time moving on something else.
20:49:28 <Hydrazine> Would you also say that someone doing this could be carried adjacent to an enemy, and full attack on their turn?
20:49:37 <Urist> really? are you sure he got the right jack?
20:50:00 <Avatar> I added you too, did you get that
20:50:01 <Mort-> Get what i mean by character separation? :p
20:50:18 <Avatar> you didn't say anything about character separation
20:50:29 <Urist> nope try my email, its [email protected]
20:50:48 <Mort-> Yes that was what i was aiming for
20:50:52 <Mort-> The latter
20:51:00 <Mort-> I told him not use same character name as his irc nick
20:51:14 <Mort-> The former is nice but not really necessary
20:51:20 <Avatar> yeah I definitely added you, it matches the username
20:51:21 <MekkisScreen> A theory would suggest that real cops do smash-in-the-front-door
20:51:21 <MekkisScreen> searches in order to prove they're not vampires. It might cause far
20:51:21 <MekkisScreen> less stress if they could simply show people the cop's reflection in a
20:51:22 <MekkisScreen> mirror instead.
20:51:30 <Avatar> look harder for the invite
20:51:37 <Mort-> Lol
20:51:43 <Hydrazine> A mounted combatant cannot take a full attack in a turn where his mount is moving linearly towards the enemy, since for part of the turn, the rider was not at the enemy to attack them.
20:51:50 <Mort-> Cops aren't vampires
20:51:54 <Hydrazine> Do you see how this is very similar?
20:52:02 <Mort-> They don't have sunlight sensitivity
20:53:07 <Urist> oh i had the skype offline im an idiot haha
20:53:26 <Mort-> But some folklore states that mirrors show your true form
20:53:41 <Avatar> did you find it
20:53:48 <Mort-> So should i look into a mirror i would have 4 paws and a tail?
20:53:54 * Mort- muses
20:54:49 <Mekkis> hehe
20:56:24 <Avatar> wow
20:56:31 <Avatar> I just took a test for a job on windows xp competency
20:56:36 <Avatar> I got 100%
20:56:39 <Mekkis> oh no
20:56:44 <Avatar> but apparently the global average is 77%
20:56:46 <Mekkis> how do you set up filesharing on windows XP?
20:56:56 <Avatar> no man it was shit like "open my computer"
20:57:03 <Avatar> "create a new folder called 'Letters'"
20:57:16 <Mekkis> was there a question on "what command do you use to enable IPv6 on windows XP"?
20:57:21 <Avatar> the global average is 77%
20:57:28 <Avatar> no
20:57:37 <Avatar> shit like "open my computer"
20:57:46 <Hydrazine> empty the recycle bin?
20:57:51 <Avatar> yep empty the recycle bin was one
20:57:56 <Mekkis> I would congratulate you... but it's BS
20:58:14 <Avatar> yeah I'm not after congratulations, I am bewildered that the global average is 77%
20:58:34 <Hydrazine> You would congratulate him, but its rather like congratulating him for wiping his own bum, something you expect anyone of his age to be able to do?
20:58:45 <Mekkis> pretty much, Hydrazine
20:59:11 <Mekkis> How do you turn off "idiot mode" on windows XP?
20:59:25 <Hydrazine> uninstall XP?
20:59:46 <Avatar> does XP have idiot mode
20:59:50 <Mekkis> yes
20:59:54 <Mekkis> it's on by default
21:00:04 <Avatar> I don't recall that
21:00:11 <Avatar> except for uh
21:00:16 <Avatar> hide file extensions for known file types
21:00:26 <Avatar> which is really microsoft being idiots
21:01:17 <Mekkis> turning it off involves: 1) Changing the theme to windows classic; 2) Turn off Hide File Extensions for known file types; 3) Turn on Show Hidden Files; 4) Change the folder view to Details; 5) Turn off the welcome screen; 6) Turn on nolmhash in the registry
21:01:39 <Avatar> oh yeah, windows classic isn't default in XP
21:01:55 <Avatar> this test was in idiot mode
21:01:58 <Mort-> Well i was eating a burger
21:02:00 <Mekkis> yuck
21:02:18 <Mort-> And sigh my agent wants me to apply for a job
21:02:25 <Mekkis> windows 7 has more steps
21:02:48 <Mort-> And I'm sort of busy these few days with me bringing my office work own
21:02:51 <Mort-> Home
21:03:14 <Mort-> I've already skipped my weekly pfs session on table to
21:03:19 <Mort-> Top
21:03:39 <Mort-> And I'm sick. On top of everything else
21:03:42 <Avatar> aren't you playing on saturday
21:04:26 <Mort-> I would have been playing my thug yesterday had i not decided it was better to go home and do office worn
21:04:28 <Mort-> Work
21:04:29 <Mort-> Gah
21:05:00 <Mort-> I also didn't feel like talking much in real life with this flu on
21:05:18 <Mort-> I only have 24 h in a day fk it
21:05:47 <Mort-> Am i really supposed to push several nights without sleep?
21:05:51 <Mekkis> no
21:05:53 * Mort- growls
21:06:02 <Mekkis> but you're not supposed to take work home if they're not paying oyu
21:06:15 <Mekkis> or you might end up a crispy lemur
21:06:18 <Mort-> You do what you must when you must
21:06:26 <Mort-> Well that is true
21:06:35 <Mort-> No ones catching me at it so far
21:07:32 <Mort-> But there is simply no way i can get that much work done on time
21:08:04 <Mort-> How do you type out a ninety page document, edit 1000 other documents
21:08:12 <Mort-> Wee
21:08:13 <Mort-> All before the weekend comes?
21:08:16 <Mort-> How's it?
21:09:27 <Mort-> Well by sat all this would have blown over
21:09:34 <Mort-> Whether i live through it or not
21:09:50 <Mort-> So screw it I'm going to spend sat partying
21:10:29 * Mort- moper
21:10:38 * Mort- mopes.
21:10:46 <Mort-> Is there a cloning spell for myself?
21:10:52 Brunius has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
21:10:55 <Mort-> So we can do stuff double time?
21:11:31 <Mort-> I mean there's no way i can get all this done on time
21:11:37 <Mort-> Gawd damn it
21:12:39 <Mort-> Its hard being a mur
21:13:19 <Mort-> I probably should have spent last weekend doing office work instead of pfs ><
21:13:33 <Mort-> Again. I had a great time that i don't regret :p
21:14:21 <Avatar> I think I know what's making you sick mort
21:14:24 <Avatar> too much red cordial
21:14:47 <Mort-> Well again i was intending to get some office work done but my cousins comp was down
21:14:53 <Mekkis> Mort-, regular expressions?
21:15:15 <Mort-> What regular expressions
21:15:25 <Mekkis> I'm not sure
21:15:32 <Mekkis> what documents do you need to edit?
21:15:44 <Mort-> Its all on the office server
21:16:03 <Mekkis> what edits do you need to make?
21:16:37 <***> Buffer Playback...
21:16:38 <***> Playback Complete.
21:17:07 <Mort-> Change the logo and some contents of it
21:17:09 <Mort-> But i rather do that manually - if i just did a raw find and replace thing it would all get fked up
21:17:23 <Mekkis> so, use regular expressions
21:17:26 <Mort-> Insert the logo and letterhead onto some documents.
21:17:39 <Mort-> What's regular expressions?
21:17:49 <Mekkis> I'd use LaTeX for the insertion of logo and letterhead
21:18:10 <Mekkis> methods for replacing text
21:19:11 <Mort-> Also avatar pass me morts chronicle sheet
21:19:15 <Mort-> Lol
21:19:16 <Mort-> Your a programmer :p
21:19:17 <Mort-> For last Sundays pastor
21:19:19 <Mort-> Party
21:19:19 <Mort-> I'm not
21:19:23 <Mort-> When i get home
21:19:38 <Mort-> And the text. I suggest you read it through before you try to replace it
21:19:40 <Mekkis> stop complaining, lest I replace your job with a ten line shell script
21:20:00 <Mort-> Hm. Could i execute that 10 line script? :p
21:20:22 <Mort-> I'm already cheating with the document I'm supposed to type out...
21:20:36 <Mort-> I used ocr and I'm just doing copy and paste :p
21:20:44 <Mekkis> what?
21:20:49 <Mekkis> adding a letterhead to a document?
21:21:03 <Mort-> The hard part is getting the (a) and (b) to align
21:21:42 <Mekkis> is that all you're doing?
21:21:47 <Mort-> Sigh. I guess its nice to have more geek
21:21:50 <Mort-> Well yes
21:21:51 <Mekkis> I've WRITTEN a script to do that!
21:22:03 <Avatar> I linked it to you
21:22:04 * Mort- ><s
21:22:17 <Mekkis> it's about 10 lines long
21:22:25 <Mekkis> actually it's 11 lines
21:22:40 * Mort- sighs
21:22:49 <Mekkis> (well, one line is commented out)
21:23:10 <Mekkis> so really ten lines
21:23:21 <Mort-> Also need to use my own discretion to change some words in there
21:23:22 <Mort-> Like australia was supposed to be changed to international
21:23:32 <Mekkis> oh
21:23:39 <Mekkis> s/australia/international/g
21:23:42 <Mekkis> one line
21:23:43 <Mort-> Thx
21:23:49 <Mort-> But sometimes if you change the words it won't make sense
21:23:50 <Mort-> Yay I'm rich
21:23:56 <Mekkis> so?
21:23:59 <Mekkis> add the letterhead
21:24:01 <Mort-> And saving for a wand of persist
21:24:12 <Mekkis> and see if that's what your boss really wants
21:24:41 <Avatar> rod
21:25:01 <Mort-> Like they are refering
21:25:02 <Mort-> To australian standards of blah
21:25:02 <Mort-> I'm not sure if there is an international standard of blah either
21:25:09 <Mort-> Or they say . In australia the sun is very hot so everyone must wear sunscreen
21:25:22 <Mort-> If you replace australia with international
21:25:25 <Mort-> It won't make sense
21:25:32 <Mekkis> true that
21:25:44 <Mekkis> but adding the letterhead is a ten line script
21:25:52 <Mekkis> actually, it's ten lines of LaTeX
21:25:53 <Mort-> And you won't know until you read the bloody document
21:26:01 <Mort-> He wants me to add letter head and
21:26:37 <Mekkis> actually
21:26:55 <Mekkis> shouldn't you only be adding the letterhead as you're sending it out to the client, or printing it out?
21:27:12 <Mort-> Edit the australia to international
21:27:12 <Mort-> And a few changes of that type
21:27:12 <Mort-> And there are 1077 documents to run through
21:27:15 <Mort-> I'm up to 614 atm
21:27:18 <Mort-> Waow
21:28:13 <Mort-> He wants them ready for printing
21:28:22 <Mort-> I think
21:28:30 <Mekkis> well
21:28:34 <Mekkis> do the letterhead last
21:28:36 <Mekkis> with the LaTeX
21:28:48 <Mekkis> I pasted it in the other channel
21:28:48 <Mort-> Lol. Ill do it all together i think
21:30:04 <Mort-> I dunno
21:31:23 <Mort-> Didn't see it anyway
21:31:42 Brunius ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
21:31:57 <Mort-> Hi bru :(
21:32:04 <Brunius> Hi Mort- :(
21:32:10 <Mekkis> hi Brunius
21:32:10 * Mort- is a moping mur
21:32:16 <Brunius> hi Mekkis
21:32:21 <Mekkis> I just replaced Mort-'s job with ten lines of LaTeX code!
21:32:30 <Brunius> ...
21:32:37 <Brunius> I doubt it.
21:32:57 <Mort-> Ya
21:32:59 <Mort-> Stick .
21:33:02 <Mekkis> that I wrote last year
21:33:04 <Mort-> Fancy stick
21:33:06 <Brunius> On an unrelated note, what does a bios freezing in the middle of startup usually mean?
21:33:08 <Mekkis> to replace someone else's job
21:33:15 <Mort-> Yeah
21:33:16 <Mort-> But i didn't see it
21:33:16 <Mort-> And how to use it anyway
21:33:16 <Mort-> I believe him. But i probably wasn't there
21:33:16 <Mekkis> fucked up hardware
21:34:15 <Brunius> I started it up. Got up to "Memory testi"
21:34:22 <Brunius> Unplug everything except mouse and screen
21:34:26 <Brunius> Starts up completely
21:34:32 <Brunius> This mobo is wierd, Mekkis.
21:34:35 <Brunius> And it's your fault
21:34:48 <Mekkis> I was using it at work for over a year
21:35:26 * Mort- wags her tail at the channel
21:35:42 * Mekkis punts Mort-
21:36:20 <Mort-> Go ahead. I'm a lazy mur and deserve to be punted :(
21:36:29 <Mort-> I can't finish my work on time :(
21:37:39 <Avatar> maybe you need to stay home and rest so you can go back to work more productive when you feel well
21:38:33 <Mort-> I should have stayed at home to pfs today :p or not since the game was cancelled due to technical difficulties
21:40:24 <Avatar> pretty you staying home should have had nothing to do with whether the game had technical difficulties or not
21:40:31 <Avatar> pretty sure*
21:41:15 <Mort-> Lol

21:44:16 <Mort-> You're not getting one!
21:44:24 <Mort-> I stay off alcohol!
21:44:28 <Mort-> You should too!
21:44:35 <Mort-> Alcohol is bad for you!
21:44:44 <Mekkis> brb
21:44:57 <Mekkis> getting scotch and considering toasting a lemur
21:45:16 <Hydrazine> Hey, alot of our species survived harder times because of alchohol.
21:45:22 * Mort- growls at mekkis
21:45:34 <Hydrazine> We figured out how to make beer and wine before we learned how to sterilize water.
21:45:36 <Mort-> My kingdom called me the nun before :p
21:45:42 <Mort-> For my behavior..
21:45:47 <Mort-> All my quirks
21:45:52 <Hydrazine> ...What would you say the alignment of a nun might be?
21:45:55 <Hydrazine> Perhaps something like..
21:45:57 <Hydrazine> Lawful good?
21:45:59 <Mort-> Like going no alcohol
21:46:20 <Mort-> And no screwing each other up in public
21:48:27 <Mort-> If you want to screw each other make sure i don't see it
21:48:28 <Mort-> Ah well
21:48:28 <Mort-> Toasting a lemur
21:48:28 <Mort-> Ffs...
21:48:28 <Mort-> Anyway hydra. I have taken alcohol before
21:48:28 * Mort- sighs
21:48:28 <Mort-> But generally i don't drink.
21:48:55 <Mort-> Look on the bright side. I haven't gotten hungover yet
21:50:06 <Mort-> A little tipsy - yes. Hungover? No

22:35:08 <Mekkis> Brunius, when do your school holidays start?
22:36:00 <OrangeShark> Mort- you there?
22:36:24 <Mekkis> for an archer, is str or dex more important?
22:43:20 <Hydrazine> I would say dex. need accuracy to do damage. plus archery in D&D tends to lean towards lots of attacks, and thus attack penalties.
22:43:49 <Mort-> I am now
22:43:51 <Mort-> What's up
22:43:54 <Mort-> I'm here
22:44:27 <Mort-> Oh dear
22:44:32 <Mort-> game cancelled?
22:44:39 <Mort-> Due to technical difficulties
22:45:10 <Mort-> I can't really help i have no maptools here and i don't know the gm side of maptools
22:46:15 <Avatar> definitely dex
22:46:27 <Avatar> dex is essential, str is a luxury
22:46:45 <MekkisScreen> mort, is Ipoh soup good?
22:46:51 <MekkisScreen> for lunch?
22:47:14 <Mort-> Yes
22:47:26 <MekkisScreen> ok
22:47:37 * MekkisScreen orders
22:48:30 <Mekkis> I know in D&D str was pretty important
22:48:57 <Hydrazine> Actually, I think I think the difference just gets bigger and bigger as you level.
22:49:29 <Hydrazine> For weapon based conbat in general, its not the damage dice that really go up, its the modifiers.
22:49:55 <Hydrazine> Current Jerus swings 1d12+16. theory level 11 Jerus swings 1d12+28.
22:50:26 * MekkisScreen considers fried lemur
22:50:32 <Hydrazine> Archery, you'll get more from deadly aim than you will from high strength.
22:50:34 <Hydrazine> Pretty early on.
22:50:41 * MekkisScreen considers fried mort
22:50:41 <OrangeShark> how did you know?
22:51:00 <Hydrazine> Then you throw in all the archery feats, and strength should become pretty secondary.
22:51:05 <MekkisScreen> what "technical limitations"?
22:51:44 <OrangeShark> we couldnt connect to the server
22:52:09 <MekkisScreen> it's a CGN isn't it
22:52:19 <MekkisScreen> or a NAT of some sort
22:52:23 <MekkisScreen> use IPv6
22:52:24 <OrangeShark> CGN?
22:52:31 <MekkisScreen> carrier grade nat
22:53:05 <OrangeShark> its a bit late to start now but thanks
22:54:03 <OrangeShark> i was really looking forward to it aswell but ah well
22:55:19 <Mekkis> mainly because 3.5 doesn't have deadly aim
22:59:27 * Mort- hugs orange shark
22:59:39 <Mort-> First time i heard that happen though
22:59:50 <Mort-> And mekkis. How could you
23:00:06 <Mort-> Fried mur? :(
23:00:39 <Mort-> You're a wicked sick bastard to consider eating a cool fluffy mur like me :(
23:00:45 <MekkisScreen> is it really fried if incinerated by a breath weapon?
23:01:52 <Mort-> But?
23:01:56 <Mort-> I'm a mur!
23:02:08 <OrangeShark> i fell kinda angry was looking forward to it and all, but enough ranting hows is everyone?

23:02:37 <MekkisScreen> the Ipoh is rather bland
23:02:41 <Mort-> We have good ipoh hor fun here
23:02:48 <Mort-> Its your tastes. Not my fault

23:07:50 <Mort-> Totally harmless
23:07:56 <MekkisScreen> Nope
23:07:58 <Urist> ah, does he use a instrument at all or just the bow?
