01:49 <Hydrazine> What does the bard need, Mek?
17:12 <Mort-> Charisma? :p
17:40 <Mort-> If i were to run bard i would try for rdd
18:09 <Mort-> Night all anyway
18:18 <Mort-> Working till 11 pm to get stuff done
18:26 <Hydrazine> See ya Mort.
19:00 <Urist> what is the Melee check of a small humanoid? base + str + size, but is the size +4 or -1?
19:15 <Urist> cya Mort-
19:24 <Hydrazine> For an attack, Urist ?
19:31 <Urist> yep
19:35 <Hydrazine> From a small character?
19:36 <Hydrazine> +1
19:56 <Urist> thank you, and for range?
20:03 <Urist> the same?
20:10 <Urist> except dex
20:15 <Hydrazine> replace str with dex.
20:30 <Urist> thank you
25:26 <Mort-> Does salt work on ulcers?
25:39 <Mort-> I have one and its irritating the fk out of me
29:12 <Hydrazine> No idea.
30:33 <Avatar> there used to be bonjela cream that worked brilliantly
30:47 <Avatar> they since developed something even better since then I think
30:53 <Avatar> but I preferred the old stuff
41:03 OrangeShark ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
42:04 <Hydrazine> I wonder if an Orange Shark would eat one fish.
42:06 <Hydrazine> And then two fish.
42:10 <Hydrazine> Red fish, and blue fish.
42:26 Urist has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
50:43 <OrangeShark> haha, i think i would eat yellow fish and red fish
51:25 <Hydrazine> Hoku would wrestle a shark.
51:26 <Hydrazine> No fear.
52:25 <OrangeShark> hehe, hey man is a ranger proficient in heavy armour?
54:35 <Avatar> check under ranger
56:23 <OrangeShark> ah, just mediun thanks
56:31 <OrangeShark> medium*
58:28 <Hydrazine> I still miss clerics in full plate.
58:50 <Avatar> I thought clerics were OP in 3.5 because of that
59:00 <Avatar> a good party was a party of clerics
59:30 <Avatar> I couldn't put my finger on what it was, but removing that proficiency did the job
01:12 <Hydrazine> Probably right.
01:24 <Hydrazine> I hadn't played enough clerics to really get a feel of it.
02:36 Fish has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
06:19 <Hydrazine> I think I only played a cleric in 3.5 once.
37:14 <Hydrazine> So did you play last night, Shark?
39:29 <OrangeShark> No, it didnt go ahead, technical difficulties
40:09 <OrangeShark> i was looking forward to it as well
40:25 <Hydrazine> Shame.
40:35 <Hydrazine> I was eager to hear news for your first pathfinder game
42:02 <OrangeShark> the worst thing about it was that i came in late, and i felt like i was stepping on peoples toes, you know?
42:17 <Hydrazine> I know the feeling.
42:36 <Hydrazine> But I think I've played with.. pretty much everyone here, and a fair chunk of the google groups guys too.
42:40 <Hydrazine> We're all pretty chill.
42:59 <OrangeShark> yeah, they all seemed pretty cool
43:47 <OrangeShark> i just have to get over my timidness to speak out, but i say that will come with time
43:49 <Hydrazine> You're all ready to play too! Worked hard to make a character, learned you some rules..
44:10 <Hydrazine> No shame in being a little shy around new people, in a new environment.
44:19 <OrangeShark> i know, i know all the combat rules now,
44:24 <OrangeShark> yeah true
44:28 <Hydrazine> Yeah?
44:37 <Hydrazine> All of em? Man.
44:39 <OrangeShark> well the basics
44:41 <Hydrazine> Took me ages to get that.
45:25 <Hydrazine> You all ready to 5 ft step your way through combat? As a druid who rather fight at range, you're gonna need to, I think.
45:31 <OrangeShark> like full actions , free actions, speed actions, standard actions and move actions
45:52 <Hydrazine> Good starting point, to know how much you can do.
46:24 <OrangeShark> yeah i will with the sling, and buff Coze with the magic fang spell
46:56 <Hydrazine> Try really hard not to get surrounded.
47:09 <Hydrazine> My witch got in a world of trouble, first time she got flanked.
47:44 <OrangeShark> also i was wondering, you know if you move to an adjacent square its a standard action, then if i cast a spell ill be 10 ft away from the melee yeah?
47:58 <OrangeShark> like the hogs example yesterday
48:15 <OrangeShark> if i moved first then casted i would have been fine?
48:25 <Hydrazine> Yes. But only 5ft away.
49:05 <Hydrazine> Which is the problem with being flanked. There isn't a square you can 5' to that isn't in danger.
49:16 <OrangeShark> but i was going to use flare on it then go in with the spear and shield, and it would prevent the attack of opertunity
49:40 <OrangeShark> why not the one directly behind you?
49:49 <Hydrazine> If there an enemy on each side?
50:17 <OrangeShark> ah, i see, well ill try to make sure that doesnt happen
50:47 <Hydrazine> Precisely.
51:13 <OrangeShark> thanks for the tips man, you have been much help
51:20 <Hydrazine> Oh, and flare doesn't mean they can't hit you. It just means they have a worse chance at it.
51:40 <OrangeShark> yeah, but its a good defensive move, i think?
52:06 <Hydrazine> Most of the orisons are intentionally not very worthwhile in combat. Or spellcasters in general would be even more dangerous.
52:44 <Hydrazine> Not if you have to stand next to it to do so.
53:26 <OrangeShark> yeah, it would be best to use it on an enemy in melee with another ally
54:49 <OrangeShark> so if i was in a situation like that what should i do?
55:28 <OrangeShark> if im in melee or flanked.
56:45 <Hydrazine> You could pull melee weapons and try to go toe to toe at it, though I don't think thats the best idea for your druid.
57:45 <Hydrazine> Against a singular enemy, assuming you have the space for it, you could continuously step back and sling, repeatedly.
57:57 <OrangeShark> ill try to see what would have happened if i went in for the kill, alright ill roll for init
58:42 <OrangeShark> !throw 1d20+1
58:43 <diebot> OrangeShark, 1d20+1: [1d20=16] 17
59:02 <Hydrazine> !throw 1d20+1 initiative
59:03 <diebot> Hydrazine, initiative: [1d20=19] 20
59:12 <OrangeShark> haha ok
59:17 * Hydrazine gores.
59:32 <Hydrazine> !throw 1d20+3 attack; 1d6+1 damage
59:33 <diebot> Hydrazine, attack: [1d20=20] 23; damage: [1d6=5] 6
59:40 <Hydrazine> Uh oh.
59:44 <Hydrazine> Nat 20.
59:45 <Hydrazine> !throw 1d20+3 attack; 1d6+1 damage
59:46 <diebot> Hydrazine, attack: [1d20=19] 22; damage: [1d6=1] 2
59:50 <OrangeShark> but it has to get past my ac
00:00 <Hydrazine> AC is?
00:05 <OrangeShark> the first one anyway
00:16 <OrangeShark> 19
00:36 <Hydrazine> A natural 20 on the attack roll hits, regardless of AC.
00:48 <OrangeShark> i know but the first one
00:54 <Hydrazine> Was a 20.
01:09 <Hydrazine> Hydrazine, attack: [1d20=20]
01:14 <OrangeShark> i taught it was initative not attack
01:24 <Hydrazine> Ah. That was before.
01:42 <OrangeShark> i taught it was roll init then roll attack
01:58 <Hydrazine> Similarly, a natural 1 on the attack misses. Even if its a brick wall and you're a level 20 fighter.
02:12 <OrangeShark> or am i wrong?
02:17 mortswishytail ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
02:19 <Hydrazine> You roll initiative once in a fight, just to get the ordering.
02:28 <OrangeShark> yeah, nat 1 is a miss and nat 20 is a crit?
02:42 <Hydrazine> you got a 17, i got a 20 on the initiative. So I went ahead.
03:01 Mort- has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
03:02 <OrangeShark> yeah so should it be each person rolls init, then the winner rolls attack,
03:07 <Hydrazine> critical threat. A nat 20 hits, regardless. But you follow it with a confirm roll.
03:16 <Hydrazine> If the confirm roll beats AC, then its a crit.
03:27 <OrangeShark> it wasnt a nat 20 it was a 17?
03:46 <OrangeShark> oh, ok
03:48 <Hydrazine> Its a very high end fighter class feature, to ignore the second part and just crit on a 20 period.
04:18 <OrangeShark> what if the dice rolls a 20 on its own without mods
04:18 <Hydrazine> So I rolled a n20, for a total of 23, and then a 22 on the confirm.
04:24 <Hydrazine> Which beats AC, and means a crit.
04:34 <Hydrazine> Make sense?
06:08 <OrangeShark> sorta, if your dice total adds to 20 or you get a nat 20 its  hits, and if you get a nat 20 or 20 on against AC its a Crit? 
06:45 <OrangeShark> but if the roll is <20 its a miss
06:52 <OrangeShark> if the AC is 20
07:58 <Hydrazine> If attack roll is either A: higher than AC, or B: a 20 on the dice, its a hit.
08:47 <Hydrazine> If its a critical threat (20 for these weapons but not always) you make another attack roll to confirm. If that beats AC, its a crit.
09:19 <OrangeShark> yeah some weapons it is 18-20
09:27 <Hydrazine> I think this is what you're saying, but I'm trying to make sure its really clear.
09:54 <Hydrazine> Indeed.
10:11 <OrangeShark> or a longsword 19-20
10:12 <Hydrazine> With the right feats or magic weapons, you can get it all the way to 15-20.
10:39 <OrangeShark> ok, so lets say i roll attack on my spear
10:58 <Hydrazine> You took 8 points of damage from the boar.
11:04 <Hydrazine> Since hes already adjacent, no move action.
11:09 <Hydrazine> Take your turn.
11:24 <OrangeShark> ok im on1 health
11:37 <OrangeShark> sorry 2 hp
11:48 <Hydrazine> Mhm.
12:06 <OrangeShark> i move back a step
12:21 <OrangeShark> and sling him
12:40 <Hydrazine> sling away!
12:56 <OrangeShark> !throw 1d20+4 range:
12:57 <diebot> OrangeShark, range:: [1d20=1] 5
13:04 <OrangeShark> WHY!
13:16 <Hydrazine> Lets just go ahead and say the dice are against you here.
13:36 <OrangeShark> ok roll for damage 
13:50 <OrangeShark> !throw 1d4+0
13:51 <diebot> OrangeShark, 1d4+0: [1d4=3] 3
14:16 <OrangeShark> so i hit him for 3 and he still has 14 left
14:21 <OrangeShark> hp
14:44 <Hydrazine> Probably going to lose this. The boar isn't a fair fight one on one.
15:16 <OrangeShark> yeah, how about me and Coze agains the boar
15:19 <OrangeShark> ?
15:49 <Hydrazine> Still feel like you need the practice?
20:17 <OrangeShark> yeah, haha
20:37 <OrangeShark> i have a tactic
20:48 * Hydrazine boar
20:51 Hydrazine is now known as boar
21:18 * boar oinks and squeals, looking around for things to be a boar at.
21:20 <OrangeShark> ok, so where do we start 20ft away from each other
21:25 <boar> Sure.
21:40 <OrangeShark> ok we are both in sight
21:48 <OrangeShark> roll for Init
22:07 <OrangeShark> !throw 1d20+1 Urist
22:07 <diebot> OrangeShark, Urist: [1d20=10] 11
22:23 <OrangeShark> !throw 1d20+1 Coze
22:23 <diebot> OrangeShark, Coze: [1d20=19] 20
22:39 <OrangeShark> nice Coze got a 20
23:30 <boar> Using a standard bestiary boar, not a companion clone.
23:33 <OrangeShark> so does that mean he goes first no matter what the boar gets?
23:51 <OrangeShark> ok gotcha
23:54 <boar> !throw 1d20 initiative
23:54 <diebot> boar, initiative: [1d20=11] 11
24:08 <OrangeShark> ok, Urist and boar reroll
24:14 <boar> With initiative, ties go to the highest modifier
24:22 <boar> So you win that one.
24:29 <OrangeShark> ah, so i win coz i have +1
24:34 <boar> Precisely.
24:38 <OrangeShark> cool
25:10 <OrangeShark> so Coze takes a move action
25:14 <OrangeShark> 20 ft
25:30 <OrangeShark> and an attack action
25:37 <OrangeShark> gore
26:05 <OrangeShark> !throw 1d20+3
26:05 <diebot> OrangeShark, 1d20+3: [1d20=19] 22
26:09 * boar oinks and squeals, eager to defend his territory from the intruding lump of ham.
26:16 <OrangeShark> haha
26:18 <boar> Attack hits, roll damage.
26:38 <OrangeShark> so it doesn't matter what his AC is?
26:51 <OrangeShark> or is his ac lower than 22?
26:52 <boar> It does, I am telling you that you beat AC.
26:57 <OrangeShark> ok
27:08 <boar> You did roll a 19 after all.
27:30 <OrangeShark> !throw 1d6+1
27:30 <diebot> OrangeShark, 1d6+1: [1d6=1] 2
27:47 <OrangeShark> damn
28:04 * boar takes a tusk in the shoulder, squealing in piggish rage.
28:11 <boar> It is Urist's turn.
28:14 <OrangeShark> ok its Urist turn
28:31 <OrangeShark> so i take a step bak,5ft
28:48 <OrangeShark> and i cast flare
28:49 <boar> So you are now 25ft from boar.
29:06 <OrangeShark> whats the DC, and my roll?
29:16 <OrangeShark> yep
29:30 <OrangeShark> and the spell radius is 25ft
29:36 <boar> You don't roll anything, you just tell me the DC.
29:43 <boar> Its not a radius, its an effect.
30:12 <OrangeShark> Flare: Dazzles one creature (–1 penalty on attack rolls)
30:22 <boar> you say the words and flare happens, at me. Now its my job to either resist it or not.
30:40 <OrangeShark> ok, no concentration needed?
30:50 <boar> No, nothing is stopping you from concentrating.
30:59 <OrangeShark> ah, cool
31:03 <boar> The DC is, and you should put these on your character sheet
31:11 <boar> is 10+spell level+ wisdom mod.
31:16 <boar> So.. 14?
31:21 <OrangeShark> yep
31:25 <OrangeShark> and thank you
32:01 <boar> !throw 1d20+6 fortitude save
32:01 <diebot> boar, fortitude save: [1d20=19] 25
32:18 <boar> Rolled high, made save. Despite your best attempts, boar is not dazzled.
32:41 <boar> Good use. This happens, its a not very high DC, and boars have good fortitude.
32:46 <OrangeShark> would it not be will not fort?
33:00 <boar> Know your spells!
33:08 <OrangeShark> sorry
33:24 <boar> Okay, so heres an example of how you should cast spells in a game.
33:25 <OrangeShark> it doesnt say which are fort, will and reflex
33:44 <boar> "I cast flare at the boar. DC 14 fort save."
33:58 <boar> The spell itself does.
34:02 <boar> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/f/flare
34:32 <OrangeShark> ok, ill write them all down, thanks
34:42 <boar> Making the DM have to look up what YOUR spell does and what sort of save it is, is just bad form, see?
34:57 <OrangeShark> yeah, it would be
35:06 <boar> Anything else?
35:10 <boar> You still got a move action.
35:46 <OrangeShark> no im good
36:00 <OrangeShark> i cant do 2 standard actions?
36:06 * boar shows this other boar whose boss.
36:29 <boar> You can opt to do a movement type action in place of a standard, but not the other way around.
36:40 <OrangeShark> ah, ok
37:09 <boar> !throw 1d20+4 gore the outsider!
37:10 <diebot> boar, gore the outsider!: [1d20=10] 14
37:22 <boar> Does a 14 hit?
37:23 <OrangeShark> my Ac is 20, you miss
37:35 <boar> Coze's, you mean, but yes.
37:43 <boar> I am done.
37:54 <OrangeShark> ok, so Coze's turn
38:13 <OrangeShark> "Urist tells Coze to Gore!"
38:31 <OrangeShark> !throw 1d20+3
38:32 <diebot> OrangeShark, 1d20+3: [1d20=5] 8
38:38 <OrangeShark> i miss
38:43 <OrangeShark> coze*
39:26 <OrangeShark> so its urist turn
39:39 <boar> Go on.
39:47 <OrangeShark> and he Cast Resistance on Coze
39:59 <boar> What does it do?
40:38 <OrangeShark>  Subject gains +1 bonus on saving throws.
40:50 <OrangeShark> i know bad move
41:01 <boar> Are you worried that the boar is going to make him roll saves?
41:49 <OrangeShark> if he gets a crit im worried that hell ned a fort save
42:06 <OrangeShark> need*
42:33 <OrangeShark> so let me rephrase
42:47 <boar> Only if hes dying.
43:11 <OrangeShark> ok, so i wasted a spell
43:18 <OrangeShark> thats my turn
43:24 * boar oinks.
43:48 <boar> !throw 1d20+4 gore the evilpig!; 1d8+4
43:49 <diebot> boar, gore the evilpig!: [1d20=19] 23; 1d8+4: [1d8=8] 12
43:57 <boar> 19 hit?
44:06 <boar> Er, 23.
44:17 <OrangeShark> yep
44:39 <OrangeShark> and now Coze is unconcious
44:51 <boar> I thought he had 13 hp?
45:17 <OrangeShark> he does
45:26 <boar> He took 12.
45:29 <boar> So hes at 1.
45:29 <OrangeShark> my bad again
46:17 <OrangeShark> but 12 is a big amount to take
46:41 <boar> It is.
46:51 <boar> This boar should be a decent challenge for a level 1 party.
46:55 <boar> You're a singlar level 1.
47:24 <OrangeShark> ok, coze turn?
47:31 <boar> yes.
47:56 <OrangeShark> Urist"RETREAT!"
48:31 <OrangeShark> Coze takes 2 move actions , and runs in the diecrtionof his master
48:46 <OrangeShark> direction
48:52 <boar> does he know withdraw?
49:33 <OrangeShark> he knows heel, and come
49:49 <OrangeShark> and defend
50:15 <boar> I'm gonna say they can withdraw.
50:19 <boar> So he moves, how far?
50:50 <OrangeShark> 30 feet, 5 feet behind Urist
51:48 <boar> Alright.Think thats only one move. but hes done
51:54 <OrangeShark> will i change his combat training "work" to "withraw"
52:02 <OrangeShark> yep
52:11 <OrangeShark> my turn
52:59 <OrangeShark> so i step back
53:03 <boar> withdraw is a combat action, I don't think its on the list of animal tricks, but it makes sense. I don't think he really needs work though.
53:05 <OrangeShark> 5ft
53:08 <boar> so, 30ft away now.
53:26 <OrangeShark> and i use my sling
53:45 <OrangeShark> !throw 1d20+2 Sling
53:45 <diebot> OrangeShark, Sling: [1d20=15] 17
53:56 <boar> Hits.
53:59 <OrangeShark> and
54:02 <boar> you can roll two dice at once, you know.
54:09 <OrangeShark> !1d4
54:22 <OrangeShark> !throw 1d4
54:23 <diebot> OrangeShark, 1d4: [1d4=3] 3
54:24 <boar> try it next time, like i did. seperate with a semicolon.
54:33 <OrangeShark> ok, thanks man
54:47 <boar> like so: !throw 1d20+stuff descriptive text; 1d6+stuff descriptive text
55:22 <OrangeShark> nice, ill do it in future
55:46 <boar> i have taken 5 damage.
55:57 <OrangeShark> and have 12 left?
56:15 <boar> Don't know, do you?
56:39 <boar> You might want to use your level 1 spell.
56:41 <OrangeShark> i think it kind of ruins it knowing the enemy stats
56:55 <OrangeShark> yeah i will
56:59 <boar> Thats why you won't know the enemy stats in a real game.
57:13 <boar> So you slung. my turn?
57:45 <OrangeShark> yes
58:15 * boar charges the human.
58:32 <boar> !throw 1d20+6 charge; 1d8+4
58:33 <diebot> boar, charge: [1d20=19] 25; 1d8+4: [1d8=4] 8
58:50 <OrangeShark> i tkae the hit
59:18 <OrangeShark> im on 2 health
59:37 <OrangeShark> ok, so coze's turn
00:08 <OrangeShark> coze doesnt do anything?
00:18 <OrangeShark> or would he go into a rage at that
01:07 <boar> you tell me.
01:33 <OrangeShark> well in the spirit of rp, i'd say he'd get pissed
02:02 <OrangeShark> so he attacks
02:13 <OrangeShark> and can He learn Charge?
03:30 <boar> I think that would be his normal way of engaging a foe.
03:33 <OrangeShark> no gore is
03:47 <boar> but you need atleast ten feet of run up to do so.
03:49 <OrangeShark> his stats say nothing about charge
04:03 <boar> Charging is a special action.
04:16 <boar> its a movement and attack with limitations.
04:16 <OrangeShark> ah, so he can doe it buy he need 10 ft
04:28 <boar> yes
04:33 <OrangeShark> do it but*
04:51 <OrangeShark> ok, so he moves 5ft, to the boar
04:59 <OrangeShark> and uses Gore
05:25 <OrangeShark> !throw 1d20+3 attack;1d6+1
05:26 <diebot> OrangeShark, attack: [1d20=17] 20; 1d6+1: [1d6=2] 3
05:40 <boar> hits. 8 damage total.
06:02 <OrangeShark> 8 damage, not 6?
06:11 <OrangeShark> ok i wont complain
06:22 <OrangeShark> so its Urist turn
06:32 <OrangeShark> and he moves 5 ft back
06:52 <OrangeShark> and uses calm animal on boar
07:09 <boar> I had 5 total last time. so 8 now.
07:22 <boar> What'd I say about spells?
08:15 <OrangeShark> never do them in reach of the enemy to prevent AoO
08:30 <boar> ...what does it do?
08:31 <boar> dc?
08:42 <OrangeShark> and know what the Dc is
08:56 <OrangeShark> ok it is a will dc of 14
09:11 <boar> !throw 1d20+1 will save
09:12 <diebot> boar, will save: [1d20=8] 9
09:15 <boar> failed.
09:20 <boar> What happens?
09:41 <OrangeShark> This spell soothes and quiets animals, rendering them docile and harmless. Only ordinary animals (those with Intelligence scores of 1 or 2) can be affected by this spell. All the subjects must be of the same kind, and no two may be more than 30 feet apart.
10:01 <OrangeShark> so i roll for Coze
10:31 <OrangeShark> !throw 1d20+1 willsave
10:31 <diebot> OrangeShark, willsave: [1d20=15] 16
10:43 <OrangeShark> and he resists it
11:11 <OrangeShark> so he is still mad
11:19 <OrangeShark> ok, your turn
11:51 * boar oinks, calmly though.
12:16 <boar> Thats pretty much it.
12:25 <OrangeShark> ok, Urist turn, and he tells Coze to withdraw
12:27 <boar> I think the smart move now is to just move on.
12:34 <OrangeShark> and thats it
12:36 <boar> Don't need to withdraw, you can just walk away.
12:52 <boar> the boar is no longer threatening, he wouldn't attack.
13:02 <OrangeShark> oh, ok, well i move back 5 feet, still facing the boar
13:11 <OrangeShark> ok, then i walk away
13:26 <OrangeShark> thanks for that
13:26 boar is now known as Hydrazine
13:29 <Hydrazine> Welcome.
13:48 <OrangeShark> but what if i didnt have calm animals, id be dead haha
14:13 <OrangeShark> i was going to use magic fang
14:30 <OrangeShark> at the start, my only level one spell
14:50 <Hydrazine> oh, actually i think you get two.
14:53 <Hydrazine> Based on wisdom.
15:42 <OrangeShark> just one for wisdom?
15:58 <Hydrazine> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/basics-ability-scores/ability-scores
16:05 <Hydrazine> See the chart abilities and spellcasters.
18:02 <Hydrazine> Its entirely reasonable that you could, later on, gain magic items to get your wisdom to 20 or higher, and get even more spells per day.
18:22 <OrangeShark> i do, so i get 2 spells +1
18:41 <OrangeShark> level 1 and 1 level 2
19:02 <OrangeShark> but i cant do them yet
19:09 <OrangeShark> the level 2 that is
20:11 <OrangeShark> yeah?
32:48 <Hydrazine> correct.

11:35 <Mort-> I'm a crazy asian
11:46 <Urist> ...you monster :P
12:04 <Urist> id never eat a shark
12:34 <Mort-> So. When you talk to me. Keep that in mind
12:38 <Mort-> I'm. Different.
13:00 <Urist> i really dont mind that your different
13:14 <Mort-> I seriously don't understand why people wouldn't eat sharks though...
13:23 * Mort- looks boggled
13:38 <Mort-> Sharks fin soup is a delicacy here
13:42 <Urist> arent they endanered?
13:50 <Mort-> So?
13:50 <Urist> endangered?
14:08 <Mort-> Not all species of shark are
14:21 <Urist> so, that's like saying why dont people eat lemur
14:30 <Mort-> If you went to an auzzie fish and chip store
14:56 <Mort-> You asked for dogfish = small species of the shark family
15:09 <Mort-> Lemurs have no meat.
17:02 <Urist> but i would prefer not to eat either
17:40 <Urist> so, mort how are you?
17:53 <Mort-> I'm ok
17:55 <Mort-> I guess
18:06 <Urist> good, you still sick?
18:11 <Mort-> You can ask me about pfs stuff if you like
18:12 <Mort-> Yes
18:20 <Mort-> I have a low fort save
18:29 <Urist> ok, haha nice
18:59 <Mort-> You know. You should summon imps.
19:19 <Urist> remember yesterday when you said i should be a gnome ranger?
19:19 <Mort-> They are invisible. So they can help you steal your cookies!
19:32 <Mort-> Did i ever say that?
19:40 <Mort-> I don't tell people what classes to play
19:47 <Urist> why would i want to steal my own cookies?
19:59 <Urist> you said it in passing
20:05 <Mort-> Think must be mek. Mek always tells people to roll gnomes
20:24 <Mort-> No. You send them to steal other peoples cookies
20:26 <Urist> sorry, must have been
20:47 <Urist> but yeah i did make a gnome char
20:57 <Urist> a ranger
21:13 <Urist> whho rides a roc with a trident
21:24 <Mort-> Lol
21:33 <Mort-> Grolsh brother?
21:44 <Mort-> Ok before you start trying to fly
21:55 <Urist> yep, Collier is his name
21:59 * Mort- gives urist a stern look
22:16 * Mort- gives urist the book on flying
22:19 tashphones ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
22:27 <Urist> thank you
22:29 <Mort-> Read all the rules about flying
22:48 <Mort-> First rule. You can't fly if your mount is carrying a medium load
23:02 <Mort-> How much did you and your armor weigh?
23:16 <Urist> alot :(
23:25 <Mort-> Ok no flying for you
23:42 <Mort-> You will go to ability score allocation on d20
23:57 <Mort-> And decide what constitutes a light load for your mount
23:59 <tashphones> Sennheiser i love you.
24:07 <Mort-> Hi tashes
24:11 <Urist> well he is well im wearing light armour
24:13 <tashphones> Slept the whole way :)
24:16 <Mort-> Ok
24:23 <Mort-> I want your total weight

28:41 <Urist> and a chain vest
28:49 <Mort-> Really?
28:55 <Mort-> Including your armor?
29:07 <Mort-> Chain shirt is 25 lbs
29:16 <Mort-> Say half for a small race
29:19 <Urist> so 60lbs
29:37 <Urist> ok47.5
29:44 <Mort-> Ok you blew the caps.

31:27 <Urist> nice

32:13 <Mort-> Though
32:31 <Mort-> Just use your priestige you get to buy yourself a wand of it
32:36 <Mort-> 2 hs per cast
33:51 <Urist> but what about a medium roc?
34:31 <Mort-> That's a medium roc
34:36 <Mort-> 12 str
34:58 <Mort-> Already looked it up before i talked to you
36:54 <Urist> ah
36:59 <Urist> ok my bad
42:14 tashphones3 has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
45:30 <Mort-> Np
46:07 <Mort-> Ok next. Because you are a ranger. Your companion has your level -3
46:20 <Mort-> So it will be level 4 before you get him around
46:21 <Urist> level -3?
46:38 <Urist> ok
46:38 <Mort-> Yeah
47:05 <Mort-> That's fine. So you decide to go riding on your mount
47:34 <Mort-> Who has 13 cons i think. So he has 10 hp at level 4
49:20 <Mort-> How are you intending to fight off monsters
49:31 <Urist> so does that mean i have to buy him at level 4?
49:32 <Mort-> Get close and stab them?
49:38 <Urist> or find one?
49:45 <Mort-> Getting your mount to bite and talon?
49:45 <Urist> i have a trident
50:00 <Mort-> We assume the moment you do it
50:00 <Urist> its range is 10 ft
50:14 <Mort-> Reach weapon or not
50:18 <Mort-> When you hit ,
50:20 <Mort-> 4
50:31 <Mort-> You just get a mount
50:45 <Urist> ah, ok
50:52 <Mort-> If you want to rp getting one go ahead
51:09 <Mort-> If its not a reach weapon
51:19 <Mort-> It means you get to throw it
51:39 <Mort-> How many tridents did you intend to bring :-)
51:58 <Urist> 1
52:09 <Urist> i dont need more do i?
52:23 <Urist> oh and i have a crossbow(light)
54:00 <Mort-> Reloading a light crossbow is a move action
54:28 <Mort-> I suggest since your a ranger with martial weapon profeciency - take a bow
54:40 <Urist> ok thanks
54:45 <Mort-> Np
54:55 <Mort-> Ok so your mount has 10 hp
55:01 <Mort-> And your flying around
55:03 <Mort-> Happily
56:17 <Mort-> You run into 2 evil wizards planning to take over the world
56:19 <Mort-> :p
57:35 <Urist> ok, and im on my own?
57:38 tashphones ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
59:15 <Mort-> Yeah :p
59:26 <Mort-> they spot you though. And are not happy
59:41 <Urist> i wouldn;t have a clue flee i guess
00:17 <Mort-> Probably but assume they called to their goblin guards to close the cave ent
00:22 <Mort-> So you're stuck with them
00:59 <Hydrazine> Hi Tashes.
01:01 <Mort-> As in the gate to the cave is closed so you can't fly out. Or say one wizard pulls a lever to shut the door behind you
01:02 <Hydrazine> Not home yet?
01:05 <Mort-> Hi hydra
01:14 <Mort-> She said she slept a lot
01:27 <Mort-> I'm trying to teach him how to day
01:28 <Mort-> Fly
01:35 <Urist> well why would i be in this situation?
01:42 <Hydrazine> Does he want to fly?
01:53 <Mort-> You were poking your curious gnome nose around
02:03 <Urist> i wasw bored so i made another char
02:05 <Mort-> He wants to ride on a roc ffs :p
02:27 <Mort-> I already showed him ant haul
02:39 <Mort-> Now I'm trying to show him magic missiles
03:06 <Mort-> And why you shouldn't ride a level 1 roc into combat
03:59 <Urist> even i know magic missiles are lame
04:26 <Mort-> The sick thing. Is that they ignore your ac
04:27 <Urist> but, why would i be in that situation
04:38 <Mort-> Ok here's a true story
04:48 <Urist> so that is a bit game breaking
04:53 <Mort-> Grolsh - a gnome druid.
05:07 <Mort-> Went adventuring with his party
05:11 <Mort-> On a flyig roc
05:35 <Mort-> There was this npc. On a platform 20 ft above the ground.
05:41 <Urist> and went into a dungeon on it
05:42 <Mort-> So he charged. As per normal
05:54 <Urist> yeah
06:03 <Mort-> And his roc got droped by magic missiles
06:18 <Urist> but thats unfair
06:20 <Mort-> Both crashed to the ground. The falling damage nearly killed him and his roc.
06:27 <Mort-> Why?
07:02 <Mort-> That's life man. Did it occur to you that pathfinders don't always live to a ripe old age? :d
07:15 <Urist> true
07:30 <Hydrazine> Jerus died once.
07:36 <Mort-> Monsters are out to kill you. They aren't furry and fluffy like murs here
08:02 <Mort-> We don't walk out of dungeons all the time gloriously
08:04 <Hydrazine> magic missiling a mount in entirely reasonable. I think we had Mort do it once or twice.
08:08 <Urist> Hydra did you have a scroll of res?
08:08 <Mort-> So have i anyway
08:15 <Hydrazine> Yeah, we limp out carrying the body of Kyra.
08:16 <Mort-> I hit the cavalier
08:26 <Mort-> I didn't hit the mount
08:42 <Mort-> But what we did in tengu land was brutal
08:46 <Hydrazine> No, it set Jerus back quite a bit to get back to the world of the living.
08:50 <Hydrazine> It really was.
08:55 <Hydrazine> We messed them birds up.
08:56 <Mort-> Actually did we find the body?
09:05 <Hydrazine> Not last time.
09:05 <Mort-> There was this worm...
09:13 <Mort-> Yeah id say
09:22 <Mort-> I've died before. And didn't get to come back
09:33 <Mort-> So. Urist. Do keep that in mind :p
09:38 <Urist> so if you die you can still use your character?
09:46 <Urist> i will
09:46 <Hydrazine> Money wise, Jerus is atleast six thousand behind where he should be for a level 5.
09:49 <Mort-> Should have coloursprayed the mount on hind sight
09:53 <Mort-> No
10:04 <Hydrazine> If you can afford to get brought back.
10:16 <Hydrazine> Jerus did. Barely.
10:18 <Mort-> Unless you pay from your gear to get brought back
10:23 <Mort-> And some didn't
10:23 <Urist> do you go to limbo yeah?
10:34 * Mort- sighs
10:41 <Hydrazine> Think where you go in the meantime is a pretty personal thing.
10:43 <Mort-> Well technically someone came for my soul
10:56 <Mort-> For all the things i did. While alive
11:08 <Mort-> I wasn't exactly a paragon of virtue
11:11 <Mort-> Lol
11:20 <Urist> ah, a devil
11:24 <Mort-> ^^
11:25 <Urist> or demon
11:27 <Mort-> Thank you
11:29 <Mort-> Devil.
11:37 <Mort-> I was calling on him pretty often
11:47 <Mort-> It happens.
12:05 <Urist> so how did you get your soul back?
12:10 <Mort-> It isn't
12:20 <Urist> a you made a deal
12:33 <Mort-> I've probably gotten devoured by my evil overlord
12:52 <Mort-> So end of story for that character in question
13:01 * Mort- sighs
13:12 <Urist> sorry to hear that
13:21 <Urist> :(
13:36 <Urist> but i have a question, 2 infact
13:54 <Mort-> But i suppose if you play with the devils dice too often you will pay the price
13:59 <Mort-> Yeah. Keep that in mind the next time your group decides to uptier
14:10 <Mort-> Yes?
14:27 * Mort- wags her tail
14:33 <Urist> 1) why did the dm want my paizo number last night, does it go on record?
14:51 <Mort-> Yes it does
14:55 <Hydrazine> To properly give you credit.
15:10 <Mort-> That's how you keep track of conditions like dead :p
15:56 <Mort-> We're educational aren't we
16:13 <Mort-> Btw i heard of a we be goblins game where the entire party tpked :p
16:19 <Urist> yeah i have learnt alot
16:27 <Hydrazine> really?
16:31 <Mort-> It involved the use of flammable substances and fireworks
16:32 <Urist> what is toked?
16:36 <Hydrazine> gobbos was fun.
16:37 <Mort-> Answedd your question?
16:44 <Mort-> Whole party got killed
16:52 <Hydrazine> We be Goblins is a special game where you play as goblins.
16:58 <Mort-> Usually its due to bad tactics on the partys part
16:59 <Hydrazine> Its a blast. I highly recommend it.
17:17 <Urist> what did you have to do?
17:22 <Mort-> But the way they tpked was so true to goblin tradition
17:54 <Mort-> You get someone to run we be goblins and you sign up
18:16 <Mort-> Then you put on a goblin suit and be a goblin
18:21 <Hydrazine> We had to be goblins and goblin stuff.
18:29 <Mort-> Don't expect your group members to act rationally because they are all goblins
18:59 <Urist> i wont get someone to run it but ill definitely join if i see it 
19:05 <Hydrazine> With a good team, its really funny.
19:10 <Urist> taking place
19:11 <Hydrazine> Tash needs to run gobbos.
19:17 <Mort-> Most people let their hair down on that module and as a result you get a whole bunch of silly goblins
19:23 <Mort-> That don't really grasp the idea of combat tactics
19:39 <Mort-> I've heard all kinds of shit happen during that game
19:56 <Urist> yeah, whats the setting?
20:27 <Mort-> Actually i think my group made fairly sensible goblins
20:30 <Mort-> We just acted silly. We actually managed to flank still
20:39 <Mort-> Your chief tells you goblins
20:58 <Hydrazine> To go do secret goblin stuff!
21:09 <Urist> nice
21:14 <Hydrazine> Don't sweat the details of specific games.
21:17 <Mort-> To go to a ship to get fireworks
21:24 <Hydrazine> You'll get there when you get there.
21:27 <Mort-> Ah k
21:50 <Urist> ok, i dont want the suprise to be ruined
22:24 <Mort-> I've said too much
22:27 <Mort-> I love telling tails
22:28 * Mort- offers urist her bushy tail
22:28 <Mort-> Well yeah
22:47 <Mort-> Matt told me by whataps he wanted to be in infernal vaults
22:59 <Mort-> But i think we doing a high level game
23:06 <Hydrazine> When?
23:10 <Mort-> You coming in?
23:13 <Mort-> That's this sat
23:31 <Mort-> Hopefully we see itzamna
23:35 <Mort-> We have a gnome to redeem
23:52 <Hydrazine> Sushi running it?
23:53 <Hydrazine> Huh.
23:57 <Mort-> I don't know what my spell lineup should be
23:58 <Mort-> Yeah
24:02 <Mort-> Sushi running
24:16 <Mort-> Standard glitterdust hideous laughter?
24:24 <Mort-> Or should i load more weird stuff
24:27 <Hydrazine> Well, don't take spell lineup guides from me. I swear I'm cursed.
24:45 <Hydrazine> I get by with Lyta because shes more 'screw the enemy' without using spells.
24:51 <Mort-> I'm considering spectral hand from scroll and ghoul touch
25:04 <Mort-> Like the chill touch i did last game
25:16 <Mort-> I did load fb though
25:44 <Mort-> Its spell economical but for sheer power..not that good
26:16 tashphones2 ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
26:52 <Mort-> Or just stock up on glitterdust
27:01 <Mort-> Its an old favourite that works against almost anyone anyway
27:09 <Mort-> Except aberations
27:35 <Hydrazine> More Tashes.
27:39 <Hydrazine> I wish I could have two.
27:42 <Mort-> Lol
27:57 <Hydrazine> Dress one up as a rescue medic..
28:05 <Mort-> I think ill take out ghoul touch

28:27 <Mort-> If i want to screw humans there is hideous laughter
29:35 <Mort-> And i don't have time this week to go shopping for my wizard
29:42 <Mort-> Busy with work and all
30:01 <Mort-> Wish i could play on Sunday but no its garage sale
31:16 * Mort- sniffs
31:39 <Mort-> I wonder if its possible to bring my lap top there to play
32:15 <Mort-> No mortails. Its a garage sale. You're not playing dnd when you're supposed to help your mom with the store
34:03 <Mort-> Bah i stepped on someones toes coming out of the train
35:41 <Mort-> Oh well guys sometime next month I'm off to italy
35:50 <Mort-> You won't hear from me for 2 weeks
36:04 <Mort-> Missing murs.
36:14 <Hydrazine> For a wedding yes?
36:20 <Mort-> Yeah
36:29 <Mort-> Going to wear a violet dress
37:27 <Mort-> Ah i am a noisy mur.
38:07 <Mort-> Infernal vaults..sounds like you would want to bring cold iron or silver weapons around
38:30 <Mort-> Dismissal but I'm a little low level for that kind of stuff
40:14 <Mort-> Urist. If you see someone mounted its generally a good idea to fk up their mount
40:38 <Mort-> Unfortunately people have a feat called mounted combat :(
40:58 <Mort-> Lets them negate a hit against their mount once per round :(
41:12 <Mort-> Fortunately. It doesn't work vs magic
41:14 <Hydrazine> Once per round. Just means you need to hit him hard and fast.
41:39 <Mort-> Funniest part was the glitterdust
41:41 <Mort-> Charge?
41:48 <Hydrazine> May seem a bit uncouth, but Jerus has done a fair bit of killing horses out from under cavalry that got too sharp.
41:49 <Mort-> You and your horse are blinded.
41:53 <Mort-> Aharid what?
41:59 <Mort-> Charge what? :p
42:09 <Hydrazine> The funniest part.
42:17 <Mort-> Lol
42:17 <Hydrazine> Was the blind rider on a horse that can see.
42:24 <Hydrazine> Next to a seeing rider on a blind horse.
42:26 <Mort-> Ahahaga
42:31 <Mort-> That too
42:41 <Mort-> One of the highlights of my career
42:48 <Hydrazine> That was awesome.
43:04 <Mort-> Like wow royal fk up
43:49 <Mort-> And while they were sorting out the mess we shot their mounts from under them
44:58 <Hydrazine> Oh, Urist, ready action can possibly make your day.
45:23 <Mort-> Yeah. Ready action to hit the inc mount
45:27 <Mort-> :p
45:47 <Hydrazine> Basically, you're allowed to use a standard action to set an if/then statement, and use it to good effect.
45:57 <Mort-> Only if they charged without a reach weapnn though
46:14 <Mort-> Though i think by then it was too late
46:21 <Mort-> You were already enlarged right?
46:22 <Hydrazine> You can say for example, that you sling a rock at this guy as soon as he starts casting a spell.
46:34 <Mort-> Sling magic missiles
46:41 <Hydrazine> Hes a druid, Mort.
46:48 <Mort-> I'm stillj not sure why that didn't work
46:57 <Mort-> Unless that guy had shield on
47:05 <Hydrazine> That way, he starts casting, and if you whack him, chances are he might lose the spell.
47:10 <Mort-> Yeah
47:20 <Hydrazine> Another good one.
47:37 <Mort-> Unless he is a magus maybe. Even so it might be hard
47:40 <Hydrazine> My monk, Hokubi was in a good position, close to, but not in range of a dumb enemy.
47:56 <Mort-> Ready action grapple?
48:00 <Hydrazine> Hes a grappler, my monk. So I readied an action to grab him if he came close enough.
48:14 <Mort-> What did you grab btm
48:18 <Mort-> Btw
48:28 <Mort-> I think i wasn't there that game
48:59 <Hydrazine> So since readied actions happen when trigger action happens, and the ready-er moves in initiative to just before the guy that set it off...
49:13 <Hydrazine> I got him grappled and pinned before he got a turn in. Game over, man.
49:19 <Mort-> Lol
49:32 <Mort-> Ill call hoku grabby
49:38 <Hydrazine> Not Steve Irwin?
49:47 <Mort-> Heh
49:54 <Mort-> Crikey!
50:34 <Mort-> Someone called xyn grabby because she always remembers to lewt
50:55 <Mort-> But first thing she does is to go - anyone wants this
51:09 <Mort-> Then keeps the rest people don't want
51:18 <Mort-> Good chance she can use it anyway
51:23 <Mort-> Umd +9
56:11 <Mort-> All right work work
56:14 <Mort-> Bb
56:23 <Urist> cya 
58:04 <Urist> so hydra how are you?
01:38 <Hydrazine> Not bad.

03:52 <Urist> I do, im in uni

06:05 <Urist> where are you from mort?
07:03 <Urist> yeah i did i bit of d&d in uni so i gotten hooked to it now haha
08:08 <Mort-> Singapore
08:11 <Mort-> Sunny Singapore
08:31 <Mort-> The streets are bright and wide you'll find
08:59 <Mort-> Because in Singapore. Singapore you'll find hapiness
09:03 <Mort-> For everyone
09:16 <Mort-> Welcome down to the river side
09:24 <Mort-> Its an unforgettable sight
09:49 <Mort-> To see the sun rise on a faraway isle turninp
09:58 <Mort-> Darkness into light
10:16 <Mort-> Woot. Couldn't help myself singing that
12:51 <Hydrazine> Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children.
13:43 <Hydrazine> I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against cold, the light that brings dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realm of men..
16:56 <Mort-> Its from somewhere
17:55 <Mort-> The nightwatch
18:09 <Hydrazine> Yes.
18:50 <Mort-> Its so cool
18:58 <Mort-> I could join the nightwatch!
19:05 <Mort-> Would they take me?
19:22 <Urist> do i need to pick a faction?
20:07 <Hydrazine> No, Mort. You're disqualified.
20:23 <Hydrazine> Yes, Urist. Sorry to say it. I think most of the faction stuff is pretty stupid.
20:24 <Mort-> Why!
20:36 <Mort-> I don't mind those vows
20:52 <Hydrazine> You couldn't father children in the first place.
21:07 <Mort-> Imo i think lantern lodge is for people who can knowledge whore
21:18 <Mort-> They don't allow females?
21:26 <Mort-> Wtf mcps!
21:43 <Mort-> Male chauvinist pigs!
21:44 <Hydrazine> They're pretty sexist in Westeros.
21:48 <Mort-> Ill show them!
22:03 * Mort- takes out scimitar and charges
22:07 <Urist> but isnt pathfinders society a faction in itself, or is it just an orgaanisation?
22:47 <Hydrazine> Its a big enough organization to have its own factions.
22:53 <Mort-> Yeah
23:00 <Hydrazine> You don't read those, do you Mort?
23:06 <Mort-> I love qadiran faction missions
23:19 <Mort-> I read what appears in the library
23:40 <Mort-> They give you ample opportunities to do non altruistic shit
23:53 <Mort-> I'm a little tired of goody faction missions atm
24:13 <Urist> none of the factions seem to go with a druid
24:35 <Mort-> Yeah i had a problem for my ranger as well
24:43 <Mort-> I just stuck him into shadow lodge
25:33 <Mort-> Somehow i have this damn feeling grull might end up neutral good :(
25:45 <Mort-> I'm so tired of playing a goody two shoes
25:59 <Mort-> I already have 2 characters out to save the world
26:03 <Mort-> Or so it seems
30:04 * Mort- grows another paw to try become a baddy 3 shoes

32:17 Urist has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
34:03 <Mort-> Hello
34:19 <Mort-> Was just commenting i feel too goody lately
34:34 <Mort-> I need to do some evil deeds!
35:43 <Hydrazine> But Mort, you're a paladin.
37:33 <OrangeShark> Whenever you have a morale bonus to weapon attack rolls, 
37:34 <OrangeShark> 		you also receive a +1 trait bonus on weapon damage rolls.
37:48 <OrangeShark> what does that mean?
38:27 <Hydrazine> Theres several sources to get morale bonuses.
38:46 <Hydrazine> A bard, or a bless spell, for instance. I think, anyway. Not that strong on bard or spell knowledge.
38:47 <OrangeShark> bards?
38:56 Sachiru ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
39:03 <Mort-> Hydra. I summon imps!
39:04 <Hydrazine> I may not know the spellbook, dammit, but I know all sorts of other spell related stuff.
39:13 <Mort-> How can i be a paladin :p
39:26 <Mort-> Or did i summon brownies by mistake :(
42:05 <OrangeShark> Mort have you played the Infernal vault before?
47:18 <Mort-> No
47:28 <Mort-> You can't replay scenarios
47:46 <Mort-> I just tend to read the scenario blurb some
47:55 <OrangeShark> even with differet characters?
48:01 <Mort-> Yes
48:18 <Mort-> That's the sucky part of dying
48:35 <Mort-> You lose xp that way because you can't replay those you have done
48:56 <Mort-> Melee characters are more likely to die then casters imo
49:13 <Mort-> Because if shit happens you're the first to get it
49:28 <Mort-> Ideally you want a syn/pally to tank
49:38 <Mort-> They are nearly indestructable
49:40 <Mort-> Or so
50:40 <OrangeShark> doesnt a barbarian have the most hp?
00:07 <Mort-> Not really
00:13 <Mort-> Because they have 2 lives
00:24 <Mort-> Their eidolon and their own
00:34 <Mort-> + fantastic saves
00:37 <Mort-> And ac
05:31 <Mort-> And generally when you say you're a syn you might get an outright ban :p
09:54 * Mort- ^^s
10:03 <Mort-> Itching to have a game with you though
10:10 * Mort- tail twitches

29:37 <boar> You don't roll anything, you just tell me the DC.
29:44 <boar> Its not a radius, its an effect.
30:13 <OrangeShark> Flare: Dazzles one creature (–1 penalty on attack rolls)
30:23 <boar> you say the words and flare happens, at me. Now its my job to either resist it or not.
30:41 <OrangeShark> ok, no concentration needed?
30:52 <boar> No, nothing is stopping you from concentrating.
31:00 <OrangeShark> ah, cool
31:05 <boar> The DC is, and you should put these on your character sheet
31:13 <boar> is 10+spell level+ wisdom mod.
31:18 <boar> So.. 14?
31:23 <OrangeShark> yep
31:26 <OrangeShark> and thank you
32:02 <boar> !throw 1d20+6 fortitude save
32:02 <diebot> boar, fortitude save: [1d20=19] 25
32:19 <boar> Rolled high, made save. Despite your best attempts, boar is not dazzled.
32:43 <boar> Good use. This happens, its a not very high DC, and boars have good fortitude.
32:48 <OrangeShark> would it not be will not fort?
33:01 <boar> Know your spells!
33:09 <OrangeShark> sorry
33:26 <boar> Okay, so heres an example of how you should cast spells in a game.
33:27 <OrangeShark> it doesnt say which are fort, will and reflex
33:46 <boar> "I cast flare at the boar. DC 14 fort save."
33:59 <boar> The spell itself does.
34:03 <boar> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/f/flare
34:33 <OrangeShark> ok, ill write them all down, thanks
34:44 <boar> Making the DM have to look up what YOUR spell does and what sort of save it is, is just bad form, see?
34:58 <OrangeShark> yeah, it would be
35:08 <boar> Anything else?
35:12 <boar> You still got a move action.
35:48 <OrangeShark> no im good
36:01 <OrangeShark> i cant do 2 standard actions?
36:08 * boar shows this other boar whose boss.
36:31 <boar> You can opt to do a movement type action in place of a standard, but not the other way around.
36:41 <OrangeShark> ah, ok
37:11 <boar> !throw 1d20+4 gore the outsider!
37:11 <diebot> boar, gore the outsider!: [1d20=10] 14
37:24 <boar> Does a 14 hit?
37:24 <OrangeShark> my Ac is 20, you miss
37:37 <boar> Coze's, you mean, but yes.
37:44 <boar> I am done.
37:55 <OrangeShark> ok, so Coze's turn
38:14 <OrangeShark> "Urist tells Coze to Gore!"
38:33 <OrangeShark> !throw 1d20+3
38:33 <diebot> OrangeShark, 1d20+3: [1d20=5] 8
38:40 <OrangeShark> i miss
38:44 <OrangeShark> coze*
39:28 <OrangeShark> so its urist turn
39:40 <boar> Go on.
39:48 <OrangeShark> and he Cast Resistance on Coze
40:00 <boar> What does it do?
40:40 <OrangeShark>  Subject gains +1 bonus on saving throws.
40:51 <OrangeShark> i know bad move
41:02 <boar> Are you worried that the boar is going to make him roll saves?
41:50 <OrangeShark> if he gets a crit im worried that hell ned a fort save
42:08 <OrangeShark> need*
42:34 <OrangeShark> so let me rephrase
42:48 <boar> Only if hes dying.
43:12 <OrangeShark> ok, so i wasted a spell
43:19 <OrangeShark> thats my turn
43:25 * boar oinks.
43:50 <boar> !throw 1d20+4 gore the evilpig!; 1d8+4
43:50 <diebot> boar, gore the evilpig!: [1d20=19] 23; 1d8+4: [1d8=8] 12
43:59 <boar> 19 hit?
44:08 <boar> Er, 23.
44:18 <OrangeShark> yep
44:41 <OrangeShark> and now Coze is unconcious
44:52 <boar> I thought he had 13 hp?
44:58 <MekkisScreen> Mort-: my solution is to just not say I'm a synthesist
45:18 <OrangeShark> he does
45:22 <Mort-> Lol
45:28 <boar> He took 12.
45:30 <boar> So hes at 1.
45:31 <OrangeShark> my bad again
45:41 <Mort-> Depending on how you do it it can be dead obvious
45:56 <Mort-> Once you take any other form then biped
46:08 <Mort-> And your gm will know
46:19 <OrangeShark> but 12 is a big amount to take
46:42 <boar> It is.
46:52 <boar> This boar should be a decent challenge for a level 1 party.
46:57 <boar> You're a singlar level 1.
47:25 <OrangeShark> ok, coze turn?
47:33 <boar> yes.
47:58 <OrangeShark> Urist"RETREAT!"
48:33 <OrangeShark> Coze takes 2 move actions , and runs in the diecrtionof his master
48:47 <OrangeShark> direction
48:53 <boar> does he know withdraw?
49:34 <OrangeShark> he knows heel, and come
49:50 <OrangeShark> and defend
50:16 <boar> I'm gonna say they can withdraw.
50:20 <boar> So he moves, how far?
50:51 <OrangeShark> 30 feet, 5 feet behind Urist
51:49 <boar> Alright.Think thats only one move. but hes done
51:55 <OrangeShark> will i change his combat training "work" to "withraw"
52:03 <OrangeShark> yep
52:12 <OrangeShark> my turn
53:00 <OrangeShark> so i step back
53:05 <boar> withdraw is a combat action, I don't think its on the list of animal tricks, but it makes sense. I don't think he really needs work though.
53:06 <OrangeShark> 5ft
53:10 <boar> so, 30ft away now.
53:27 <OrangeShark> and i use my sling
53:46 <OrangeShark> !throw 1d20+2 Sling
53:46 <diebot> OrangeShark, Sling: [1d20=15] 17
53:57 <boar> Hits.
54:01 <OrangeShark> and
54:03 <boar> you can roll two dice at once, you know.
54:10 <OrangeShark> !1d4
54:23 <OrangeShark> !throw 1d4
54:24 <diebot> OrangeShark, 1d4: [1d4=3] 3
54:25 <boar> try it next time, like i did. seperate with a semicolon.
54:35 <OrangeShark> ok, thanks man
54:49 <boar> like so: !throw 1d20+stuff descriptive text; 1d6+stuff descriptive text
55:23 <OrangeShark> nice, ill do it in future
55:48 <boar> i have taken 5 damage.
55:58 <OrangeShark> and have 12 left?
56:17 <boar> Don't know, do you?
56:40 <boar> You might want to use your level 1 spell.
56:42 <OrangeShark> i think it kind of ruins it knowing the enemy stats
56:56 <OrangeShark> yeah i will
57:01 <boar> Thats why you won't know the enemy stats in a real game.
57:14 <boar> So you slung. my turn?
57:46 <OrangeShark> yes
58:17 * boar charges the human.
58:34 <boar> !throw 1d20+6 charge; 1d8+4
58:34 <diebot> boar, charge: [1d20=19] 25; 1d8+4: [1d8=4] 8
58:52 <OrangeShark> i tkae the hit
59:20 <OrangeShark> im on 2 health
59:39 <OrangeShark> ok, so coze's turn
00:09 <OrangeShark> coze doesnt do anything?
00:19 <OrangeShark> or would he go into a rage at that
01:08 <boar> you tell me.
01:34 <OrangeShark> well in the spirit of rp, i'd say he'd get pissed
02:03 <OrangeShark> so he attacks
02:15 <OrangeShark> and can He learn Charge?
03:25 <boar> I think that would be his normal way of engaging a foe.
03:35 <OrangeShark> no gore is
03:48 <boar> but you need atleast ten feet of run up to do so.
03:50 <OrangeShark> his stats say nothing about charge
04:05 <boar> Charging is a special action.
04:17 <boar> its a movement and attack with limitations.
04:18 <OrangeShark> ah, so he can doe it buy he need 10 ft
04:30 <boar> yes
04:34 <OrangeShark> do it but*
04:52 <OrangeShark> ok, so he moves 5ft, to the boar
05:01 <OrangeShark> and uses Gore
05:26 <OrangeShark> !throw 1d20+3 attack;1d6+1
05:27 <diebot> OrangeShark, attack: [1d20=17] 20; 1d6+1: [1d6=2] 3
05:41 <boar> hits. 8 damage total.
06:04 <OrangeShark> 8 damage, not 6?
06:13 <OrangeShark> ok i wont complain
06:23 <OrangeShark> so its Urist turn
06:33 <OrangeShark> and he moves 5 ft back
06:53 <OrangeShark> and uses calm animal on boar
07:10 <boar> I had 5 total last time. so 8 now.
07:24 <boar> What'd I say about spells?
08:17 <OrangeShark> never do them in reach of the enemy to prevent AoO
08:31 <boar> ...what does it do?
08:32 <boar> dc?
08:43 <OrangeShark> and know what the Dc is
08:57 <OrangeShark> ok it is a will dc of 14
09:13 <boar> !throw 1d20+1 will save
09:13 <diebot> boar, will save: [1d20=8] 9
09:17 <boar> failed.
09:21 <boar> What happens?
09:42 <OrangeShark> This spell soothes and quiets animals, rendering them docile and harmless. Only ordinary animals (those with Intelligence scores of 1 or 2) can be affected by this spell. All the subjects must be of the same kind, and no two may be more than 30 feet apart.
10:03 <OrangeShark> so i roll for Coze
10:32 <OrangeShark> !throw 1d20+1 willsave
10:32 <diebot> OrangeShark, willsave: [1d20=15] 16
10:44 <OrangeShark> and he resists it
11:12 <OrangeShark> so he is still mad
11:20 <OrangeShark> ok, your turn
11:52 * boar oinks, calmly though.
12:17 <boar> Thats pretty much it.
12:26 <OrangeShark> ok, Urist turn, and he tells Coze to withdraw
12:28 <boar> I think the smart move now is to just move on.
12:35 <OrangeShark> and thats it
12:37 <boar> Don't need to withdraw, you can just walk away.
12:54 <boar> the boar is no longer threatening, he wouldn't attack.
13:03 <OrangeShark> oh, ok, well i move back 5 feet, still facing the boar
13:12 <OrangeShark> ok, then i walk away
13:27 <OrangeShark> thanks for that
13:30 <Hydrazine> Welcome.
13:50 <OrangeShark> but what if i didnt have calm animals, id be dead haha
14:14 <OrangeShark> i was going to use magic fang
14:24 <Avatar> if I don't see your character sheet, I still won't GM for you
14:31 <OrangeShark> at the start, my only level one spell
14:50 <Avatar> you can't exactly write down that you're a druid on your sheet and actually be a synthesist, that's not how it works
14:52 <Hydrazine> oh, actually i think you get two.
14:54 <Hydrazine> Based on wisdom.
15:44 <OrangeShark> just one for wisdom?
16:00 <Hydrazine> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/basics-ability-scores/ability-scores
16:06 <Hydrazine> See the chart abilities and spellcasters.
16:12 * Mort- laughs
16:22 <Mort-> Wildshaped!
16:26 <Mort-> Permanently!
16:45 * Mort- looks over her paws and tail
18:03 <Hydrazine> Its entirely reasonable that you could, later on, gain magic items to get your wisdom to 20 or higher, and get even more spells per day.
18:04 <Avatar> you don't have neither paws nor a tail
18:23 <OrangeShark> i do, so i get 2 spells +1
18:42 <OrangeShark> level 1 and 1 level 2
19:03 <OrangeShark> but i cant do them yet
19:10 <OrangeShark> the level 2 that is
20:13 <OrangeShark> yeah?
32:49 <Hydrazine> correct.
48:05 <Mort-> I have both!
48:12 <Mort-> i have furz too!
48:24 * Mort- claws avatar a few times
08:00 <Avatar> you don't have fur or claws
08:44 <OrangeShark> hey bluex
08:54 <Mort-> I have both
08:57 <bluex> hey there 
09:07 * Mort- growls at avatar then bites him
09:49 <OrangeShark> one moment
11:10 <OrangeShark> so blue, how are you?
11:19 <bluex> Good thanks, you?
11:38 <OrangeShark> yeah im good, do you want to make a character?
11:52 <bluex> sure :P
12:09 <OrangeShark> ok, cool firstly go to this page
12:59 <OrangeShark> http://www.pfrpg.com.au
13:02 <Avatar> you don't have any of those
13:13 <Avatar> you can growl and bite I guess
24:14 <MekkisScreen> Avatar: I write "undisclosed" under faction for all of my characters
25:43 <MekkisScreen> I writhe "fighter" when I mean paladin
26:40 Sachiru has quit (Quit: Shutting Down )
28:09 <Mort-> :d
35:18 <Mort-> Now we understand mek speak
35:35 <Mort-> So next time he rolls a fighter we will all be about spellcraft
39:26 <Avatar> then you're not a paladin
39:40 <Avatar> factions are a different story because it's recognised that keeping a faction secret is kosher
39:56 <Avatar> if you're hiding what class you are from a GM, that's not
41:09 <MekkisScreen> 2I write Eagle Knight on Grolschmir's sheet now
43:26 <Mort-> I was never a pally :p
43:54 <Mort-> I'm too mischevious to be one
46:51 <Avatar> that's the point of stepping into character
50:37 <Mort-> No desire to play one
50:44 <Mort-> Im not worthy.
51:08 <Mort-> ill probably fall because i would do anything to save my friends. Include dealing with the devil
14:20 <MekkisScreen> that's a good reason to fall
33:39 <Mort-> Falling is still a stupid thing to do anyway
33:56 <Mort-> So no pally = can't fall
04:48 ForevernadeAFK ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
05:52 Forevernade has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

36:47 <Brunius> Avatar, have you got any spare PSUs lying around?
36:53 <Brunius> Computer cases?
38:13 <Avatar> nope
38:19 <Avatar> I had cases but I threw them out about a montha go
38:29 <Avatar> if my PSU dies, I'm screwed
38:32 <Avatar> it has died once before
38:38 <Avatar> in the past year
39:20 <Brunius> I'm looking into getting all the components for a seperate computer, so that if my brother gets really pissed and just starts breaking stuff I won't be affected
39:48 <Brunius> (Today he decided to break the keyboard tray)
39:59 <Avatar> how old is he again
40:06 <Brunius> 13
40:15 <Avatar> what's going on, you weren't this thick when you were 13
40:18 <Brunius> I'm just wondering when he'll grow out of it
40:35 <Brunius> He's about the age I was when I first met you guys
40:38 <Brunius> About a month younger
41:00 <Avatar> I'd actually been hanging onto those cases for years and never ended up using them

53:46 <Mekkis> Brunius, hit him with your model M
53:59 <Mekkis> tell him that it's because he broke the keyboard tray
54:46 <Brunius> hm
04:05 <Mekkis> I think hiding class and HP from other players is a good move
08:49 <Hydrazine> I hide HP.
09:16 <Hydrazine> And Jerus tells people exactly what he does.
13:34 <Avatar> until you're into the negatives
16:54 <Mekkis> especially when you're in the negatives
17:44 <Avatar> I think you'd be quite okay to not hide your hp when you get into the negatives
32:17 Steven has quit (Quit: )
33:43 <Mekkis> that doesn't help building tension
34:30 <Mekkis> it's the difference between "Buck's hit, we'd better rush out and save him asap", and "Oh, he's on -1, he'll probably stabilise, but we've got at least 10 rounds before he packs it in"
41:13 <Avatar> no argument there, but you may not be being saved asap
41:50 <Avatar> if you're on -13 out of -14, and the team is thinking you might be ok for a round or two, well, oops
41:50 <Mekkis> wouldn't you rather die?
42:00 <Avatar> absolutely not
42:05 <Avatar> too stupid a reason
42:06 <Mekkis> like Asmel did?
42:18 <Avatar> asmel didn't have a choice in the matter if I recall
42:28 <Avatar> thanks to a 10 con :P
42:34 <Mekkis> I could have kept my mouth shut
42:55 <Avatar> didn't asmel die before there was a chance
43:06 <Avatar> that's not the same thing
44:49 <Avatar> different story if he had 11 con, for example
45:17 <Avatar> the only time it's worth saying I'd rather die is if it puts your team at risk
47:35 <Mort-> I haven't really told people my hp for a long while
47:50 <Mort-> Just either jab me with stick or not
48:20 <Avatar> I think it's good if it's limited
50:19 <Mort-> I think i haven't done that for last 5 games at measures
50:21 <Mort-> Least
50:51 <Avatar> you've never had to
51:11 <Avatar> when was the last time you were in the negatves
51:18 <Mort-> Uh.. true. I don't front line much
51:25 <Mort-> That last time i died :d
51:39 <Mort-> Wouldn't have made a difference anyway
51:53 Urist ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
51:54 <Avatar> or would it ?
51:59 <Mort-> Anyway you don't see me front lining
52:03 <Mort-> Tpk dude
52:10 <Mort-> None of us got out heh
52:15 <Avatar> maybe no tpk if you were communicating hp
52:20 <Mort-> No
52:40 <Avatar> would've helped, surely
52:43 <Mort-> I knew perfectly what was going on on the hp side
52:48 <Mort-> Not really
52:57 <Avatar> how could you perfeclty know if you weren't communicating them
53:18 <Mort-> Because i was playing both cleric and khaz back then
53:31 <Mort-> So technically i know both our hps
53:42 <Avatar> what about the other two
53:56 <Mort-> And I've played with hydra long enough to know his
53:58 <Mort-> As well
53:59 <Avatar> you don't understand it's a team effort mort
54:06 <Avatar> if one dies, all can die
54:13 <Mort-> And i know how much a level 1 has on hp
54:36 <Mort-> Yeah but its still up to the player if they want to tell hp or not
54:42 <Mort-> Last time i used to tell
54:47 <Mort-> But now i don't
55:01 <Avatar> up to the player, but it affects the team if you don't
55:14 <Mort-> Most of the games i play in no one says hp
55:15 <Avatar> so if it's not cool with everyone, you should really be communicating it
55:21 <Mort-> I think i prefer it better that way
55:35 <Mort-> Its more realistic and that's what deathwatch is for
55:42 <Avatar> if you keep it to yourself, you're not just risking yourself, you're risk their characters
55:52 <Mort-> I won't keep it to myself
56:01 <Mort-> Ill just ask you to hit me with stick
56:34 <Mort-> And just tell you when to stop hitting me with stick
56:38 <Mekkis>  you're also not metagaming
56:54 <Mort-> I try not to?
57:27 <Mort-> I haven't seen anyone say their hp for ages really
57:28 <Ballig> wand healing only works outside of combat
57:32 <Mort-> Yeah
57:42 <Mort-> But in ill just give a call out anywam
57:45 <Mort-> Anyway
57:49 <Ballig> sure, you can argue that it's "metagaming" to say what your hp is
57:50 <Mort-> Or just run and hide
57:57 <Ballig> but how else are you meant to abstract knowing just how hurt someone /looks/?
58:01 <Mort-> I haven't seen it for a long while
58:06 <Ballig> you need to keep in mind that a lot of combat is abstracted, and you can't get around that
58:25 <Ballig> you can find a way to do it that better suits your style of play
58:32 <Mort-> I mean really. I haven't seen anyone say their hp for a long while
58:32 <Ballig> but I wouldn't suggest just shutting up and never saying anything
58:45 <Mort-> I haven't said my own hp for at least 5 games
58:53 <Ballig> are you actually listening to me mort
59:00 <Mort-> Sigh
59:01 <Ballig> or are you just continuing to spout bullshit by rote?
59:03 <Mort-> Fine i will
59:07 <Mort-> Bb

00:23 Ballig has quit (austnet.org!NickOP (Kill requested by Ballig1))
00:26 Ballig1 is now known as Ballig
03:09 <Hydrazine> I don't think its necessary to read off HP as a flat number.
03:26 <Ballig> nothing is necessary
03:36 <Ballig> it's also not necessary to have a sword, or to play D&D
03:40 <Tashes> You're not necessary
03:57 <Hydrazine> Jerus, in character, sometimes says things like, "I've had worse," or "I'm hurtin' pretty bad", or "HELP!"
03:59 <Ballig> your face is not necessary
04:15 <Hydrazine> Which I think does well to communicate health without feeling metagamey.
04:26 <Avatar> yeah but you, out of character, will say what you're on when you're in the negatives 
04:28 <Ballig> Hydrazine: that is fine in part, but you're basically removing a character's ability to see how hurt you are in his own right
04:34 <Ballig> without needing your character to voice it
04:48 <Ballig> I think if you don't want to state hp, think up some descriptive ways to get it across without your character needing to voice it
05:09 <Ballig> but again, communicating health isn't /metagaming/ - it's combat abstraction
06:00 <Ballig> you can find ways to roleplay it more without needing to be that abstract, but I don't think it should be called metagaming if you don't do that
06:07 <Ballig> because it places a stigma on other people
06:38 <Ballig> consider what would happen if your GM refused to tell you how much damage you had taken
06:45 <Ballig> because knowing your hp is metagaming right?
07:06 <Ballig> if it's metagaming for OTHER people to know it, why isn't it metagaming for YOU to know it?
08:18 * slimjim unzips his trousers unravels his schlong into a coiled sword and strikes paul_banks across the nose
08:28 <Ballig> `ban slimjim
08:29 * ChanOP sets ban on *!*[email protected].*
08:29 ChanOP has kicked slimjim from #d&d ((Ballig) You are banned)
13:12 <Urist> hey everyone
13:56 <Ballig> sup
15:05 <Urist> nothing much, how are you?
15:42 <Ballig> that's a little existential
16:38 <Ballig> might as well ask why I am!
16:58 <Urist> true, but i was just being polite
30:38 <Urist> so, why are you ;)
30:59 <Urist> :P*
33:32 paul_banks has quit (Quit: the earth is doomed)
34:30 <Mekkis> probably because he hasn't found a good scotch
41:32 <Urist> i have a concern, when i tried to play 2 days ago, there was something upwith the server, but also i didnt really knew how maptools work, i have it downloaded but am still uncertain on a few things, like why i only have five tokens, 2 dragons, 2 eagles and an elf?
52:16 <Ballig> you'd have to talk to Sushi, he's the only one here that uses maptools as far as I'm aware
56:37 <Mekkis> that's all you need right?
56:43 <Mekkis> two dragons, two eagles and an elf
03:06 <Urist> haha, i hope not, there is also 2 wolfs a mage and 2 heros

13:31 <Mekkis> anyone know of health dangers of ozone?
16:00 Fish has quit (Ping timeout: 181 seconds)
17:36 Fish_ is now known as Fish
28:05 <Hydrazine> To start, you can't process it like O2.
28:26 <Hydrazine> So breathing pure ozone if you could find it, is just as bad as breathing pure nitrogen.
28:33 <Hydrazine> I belive there are further problems than this.

51:04 <tashphones2> In what context mekkis?
51:32 <Mekkis> in the context of plasma balls
51:55 <tashphones2> Cos like.. Plants love it. But people notsomuch. And it'll varnish silver. That makes me sad.
52:07 <Mekkis> varnish or tarnish?
52:11 <tashphones2> Tarnish*
54:23 <tashphones2> One would think the greater problem would be the proximity to a plasma ball...
55:47 <Mekkis> nah
24:41 Fish ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
49:05 <Mekkis> any projections as to which tier is running on Saturday?
57:36 <Avatar> Look at the schedule and see what levels are there
