00:00:13 <Mekkis> it's in Ultimate Combat, so you can do it!
00:10:38 <Mekkis> hmm
00:10:52 <Mekkis> what annoys me about the sorcerer is it feels a lot better at higher levels
00:11:13 <Ballig> mnemonic vestment makes it slightly better at mid levels
00:11:30 <Mekkis> oh
00:11:31 <Mekkis> that item
00:11:45 <Ballig> it's pretty crazy
00:11:48 <Mekkis> I will agree with that
00:12:39 <Mekkis> but 9 scenarios before you hit the ability to cast second level spells is painful
00:12:56 <Ballig> yeah
00:12:59 <Mekkis> Brunius, when you get second level spells, there are heaps of good ones to choose from
00:13:12 <Mekkis> I think I'll just go arcane bloodline
00:13:27 <Mekkis> !spell Litany of Righteousness
00:13:27 <diebot> Mekkis, LITANY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS evocation ([good, language-dependent]) inquisitor 3, paladin 2 1 swift action Range: close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Duration: 1 round Save: no SR:yes
00:13:28 <diebot> Calling down a litany of anathema, you make an evil more susceptible to the attacks of good creatures. If the target is evil, it takes double damage from attacks made by creatures with a good aura (from a class feature or as a creature with the good subtype). If the target also has the evil subtype; when it is hit with attacks made by creatures
00:13:28 <diebot> with a good aura, it is also dazzled for 1d4 rounds. If this spell targets a nonevil creature (or one that lacks the evil subtype), it has no effect, and the spell is wasted. While subject to this spell, the target cannot be the target of another spell that has the word "litany" in the title.
00:14:01 <Brunius> Like I need more 'screw evil' effects
00:14:13 <Mekkis> !spell Saddle Surge
00:14:15 <diebot> Mekkis, SADDLE SURGE transmutation ([]) paladin 2 1 standard action Range: personal Duration: 1 round/level (D); see text Save: SR:
00:14:15 <diebot> You and your mount form a perfect synergy that endows both of you with advantages based upon how far you travel each round. For every 5 feet your mount moves in a given round, you gain a +1 competence bonus on Ride checks and both you and your mount gain a +1 morale bonus on damage rolls made with weapons or natural attacks for 1 round. For
00:14:15 <diebot> instance, if your mount traveled 40 feet in a round, you would gain a +8 bonus on Ride checks and you and your mount would both gain a +8 bonus on damage rolls for 1 round, to a maximum bonus equal to your caster level. You must be mounted to enjoy the benefits of this spell. If you dismount, get knocked off, or take any other action that separates
00:14:15 <diebot> you from your mount, the spell immediately ends.
00:14:27 <Mekkis> I mean, sorcerer at 14th level would be great
00:14:57 <Brunius> That would be nice, if I get a chance to ride around
00:15:41 <Mekkis> better when you're using a bow
00:16:08 <Mekkis> all your arrows get a large damage bonus
00:32:21 <Steven> what spell are you waiting all the way till 14th to get?
00:33:18 <Ballig> greater shadow conjuration
00:36:08 <Steven> i remember playing a game where the boss spammed shadow conjuration
00:36:17 <Steven> fireballs and all sorts of other things
00:36:24 <Steven> and folnor made every save
00:36:47 <Steven> it was most annoying for the GM
00:39:59 <Mekkis> Steven, no spell in particular
00:40:24 <Mekkis> just that sorcerers feel like one-trick ponies until then
00:40:48 <Steven> right...
00:40:53 <Ballig> what's the trick
00:41:11 <Mekkis> epends on the sorcerer
00:49:05 <Avatar> yo
00:49:23 <Brunius> yo
00:49:27 <Brunius> check yo pms
00:51:13 <Mekkis> meh. Fire always works
00:51:21 <Mekkis> yo
00:52:04 <Avatar> why do GMs only get credit for GMing a scenario once
00:52:54 <Brunius> To keep people buying scenarios
00:52:55 <Mekkis> I'm not sure. I personally think it's a bad thing
00:53:15 <Mekkis> I think we should be encouraging GMs to run scenarios multiple tiems
00:53:23 <Avatar> if I run out of scenarios to GM and they don't have any new ones to run, I will stop running them
00:53:34 <Mekkis> really?!
00:53:37 <Avatar> yep
00:53:50 <Avatar> I don't want to rerun scenarios for no credit
00:54:08 <Mekkis> I've GMed a bunch of scenarios for no credit. I actually prefer GMing scenarios I've GMed before
00:54:14 <Brunius> You're aware credit isn't the only thing to come out of PFS, Avatar?
00:54:28 <Avatar> yes brunius I am aware that credit is not the only thing to come out of pfs
00:54:39 <Mekkis> put me down for running Sanos Abduction, starting at 9am AEST, next Saturday pleasem Avatar
00:55:20 <Mekkis> unless you're planning on running something
00:56:26 <Avatar> I'm playing next saturday
00:56:36 <Mekkis> what and where?
00:56:38 <Avatar> what tier is sanos abduction
00:56:43 <Avatar> portal of the sacred rune
00:56:43 <Mekkis> 3-7
00:57:21 <Mekkis> and who :P
00:57:33 <Avatar> tetsu's running it
00:58:56 <Steven> devils disagree
02:06:41 Steven has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
05:28:47 Steven ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
05:38:45 <Steven> i always view them as a money sink if you are swimming in it
05:39:16 <Steven> after Ausk finishes The Ruby Pheonix Tourny he will have something like 53k
05:39:56 <Steven> so unless something else catches my eye i will probably buy one of those for him
05:40:35 <Avatar> I would sooner upgrade my belt of dex
05:40:46 <Avatar> cheaper I think
05:40:56 <Brunius> RPT has about a bajillion items on the chronicle
05:40:59 <Avatar> yeah, 12000gp
05:41:10 <Steven> oh yeah dex is good
05:41:25 <Avatar> I feel dirty upgrading my already high attack/damage
05:41:31 <Steven> almost as good as an extra attack lol
05:41:41 <Avatar> yeah I had no plans to upgrade it further
05:42:26 <Avatar> sniper goggles would be cool for a gunslinger, if they did more than just help sneak attack
05:44:32 <Avatar> 4000gp for low light vision isn't terrible
05:48:07 <Avatar> !item shoes of lightning leaping
05:48:08 <diebot> Avatar, SHOES OF LIGHTNING LEAPING [moderate transmutation] CL:6 feet 10500gp, 1lb
05:48:08 <diebot> These short black shoes fit tightly around the wearer's feet and bear designs of leaping arcs of lightning and wild winds. Once per day on command, a creature wearing these boots can transform into lightning and move up to 50 feet in a straight line, re-materializing at the far end of the lightning bolt. Creatures in the path of the lightning take
05:48:08 <diebot> 6d6 points of electricity damage and objects take damage as per the lightning bolt spell. If the lightning strikes an object or barrier and fails to burst through it, the creature wearing the boots appears next to the impacted object and is staggered for 1 round. Movement while in lightning form does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
05:48:15 <Avatar> tell me THAT'S not cool
05:48:33 <Mekkis> that is cool
05:48:47 <Ballig> cool but potentially overpriced
05:48:56 <Avatar> you reckon?
05:48:57 <Mekkis> not really
05:49:07 <Avatar> how is it overpriced
05:49:16 <Mekkis> you need one form of "escape from grapple"
05:49:30 <Mekkis> sure, it's a little more expensive than Cape of the Monteback
05:49:34 <Avatar> I saw another one that lets you teleport 30ft away from a grapple
05:49:36 <Ballig> other than it just being a lightning bolt, the movement aspect will end up being hard to use
05:49:36 <Mekkis> but not that much
05:49:48 <Ballig> how often do you get 50 feet of movement in a straight line that won't make you hit a wall or some other object
05:49:50 <Ballig> and stagger you for a round
05:50:11 <Mekkis> up to 50'
05:50:28 <Avatar> yeah the idea is that 50' is enough to get away though
05:50:31 <Avatar> solid point
05:50:34 <Ballig> yeah because if you hit a barrier before 50 feet you don't move 50 feet
05:50:37 <Ballig> you can't be like "I will only make my lightning bolt 10 feet"
05:50:50 <Mekkis> really?
05:50:52 <Avatar> it says up to 50 feet
05:51:00 <Ballig> yes, because if you hit a barrier you don't go the full 50
05:51:06 <Ballig> it doesn't say you can choose how long to make it
05:51:22 <Mekkis> no. it says if you hit a barrier but don't break through it
05:51:28 <Avatar> that's not how I read it
05:51:41 <Avatar> open to interpretation either way though
05:51:49 <Ballig> so you think you can move only 10 feet with it, if you choose?
05:51:53 <Mekkis> I do
05:52:02 <Avatar> yeah I'd say you could
05:52:02 <Ballig> I disagree with you
05:52:30 <Avatar> I'm going to forum that one
05:52:35 <Mekkis> thanks, Avatar
05:52:44 <Mekkis> Mytiazair might want to buy one
05:52:59 <Mekkis> he doesn't have a "get out of grapple" method yet
05:53:02 <Avatar> wish I'd taken note of what the other item I was looking at was that does 30ft
05:53:07 <Avatar> and gnomes can do 400ft with it
05:53:21 <Mekkis> (other than 'Cast dimension door' and hope to make the concentration)
05:53:31 <Mekkis> I'll search
05:54:09 <Mekkis> !item boots of escape
05:54:10 <diebot> Mekkis, BOOTS OF ESCAPE [moderate conjuration] CL:5 feet 8000gp, 1lb
05:54:10 <diebot> These sturdy leather-soled cloth boots have straps at the ankles and calves to ensure a snug fit. Once per day, when the wearer of the boots is grappled, pinned, or entangled, she may transfer herself to any spot within 30 feet as if using a dimension door spell. A gnome wearing these boots may instead transfer herself up to 400 feet away.
05:54:17 <Avatar> that's it
05:54:24 <Avatar> both feet slots
05:54:34 <Mekkis> I should add a search function
05:55:03 <Avatar> that description sounds much the same as the shoes
05:55:18 <Avatar> except there's no mention of consequences for teleporting less than 30ft
05:57:18 <Mekkis> !item escape ladder
05:57:24 <diebot> Mekkis, ESCAPE LADDER [moderate transmutation] CL:7 none 4000gp, 1lb
05:57:24 <diebot> The description is too long to send over IRC. View http://nl.ti4200.info/vpsirc/items/escape_ladder.html
05:57:31 <Ballig> the boots of escape are pretty clear - you choose a spot within 30 feet
05:58:49 <Avatar> any spot within 30 feet, yeah
06:00:01 Sn0uu ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
06:01:41 <Mekkis> I'd probably go with the shoes of leaping rather than the boots of escape or the monteback cape
06:04:38 <Mekkis> I think a "get out of a grapple" item is required after about level 7.
06:04:54 <Mekkis> not actually sure what the level where its required is though
06:05:03 <Avatar> yeah that's buck's achilles heel and I don't like it
06:05:20 <Avatar> in fact I think it got him semi close to death once or twice
06:05:30 <Avatar> you'd think I'd learn
06:05:42 <Mekkis> Snickers almost died to it in the Market
06:05:49 <Mekkis> Itzamna was there
06:05:57 <Avatar> yeah I won't forget that
06:05:58 <Mekkis> Perfection bravely saved her
06:06:14 <Avatar> itzamna almost killed her
06:06:30 <Mekkis> hey
06:06:36 <Avatar> hey nothing !
06:06:49 <Mekkis> Itzamna TOLD you to do plan A when encountering that sort of enemy
06:06:55 <Mekkis> aka "run the fuck away"
06:07:08 <Avatar> you can't go ahead with plan A before the party agrees
06:07:18 <Mekkis> sure you can
06:07:26 <Avatar> then you're responsible
06:07:29 <Avatar> it's on you
06:07:31 <Mekkis> yes
06:07:46 <Avatar> why are you considering the shoes over the cape
06:07:54 <Avatar> the cape looks better
06:08:00 <Mekkis> because I'm wearing a cloak already
06:08:05 <Mekkis> I think
06:08:07 <Avatar> resistance
06:08:09 <Avatar> ?
06:08:12 <Mekkis> I think
06:08:18 <Mekkis> !find Mytiazair
06:08:19 <dicebot> Mekkis, http://www.pfrpg.com.au/viewchar.php5?char=148

06:09:12 <Mekkis> ok...
06:09:19 <Mekkis> hmmm
06:10:38 <Mekkis> Ballig, could you perhaps make !find discount any characters for inactive campaigns, or perhaps give diebot readonly access to some of tables?
06:12:05 <Avatar> http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2p663?Shoes-of-Lightning-Leaping-Must-move-50ft-or#3
06:14:28 <Mekkis> uploaded, Avatar
06:15:09 <Avatar> sif not get improved iron will
06:16:16 <Mekkis> isn't it obvious that I only got iron will to meet the prereqs?
06:17:00 <Avatar> prereqs for what
06:17:10 <Mekkis> Master Spy, I think
06:17:26 <Avatar> if you're getting iron will you may as well get improved
06:17:35 <Avatar> the only reason you don't get improved is because it requires you to pick up iron will
06:17:35 <Mekkis> !feat improved iron will
06:17:36 <diebot> Mekkis, IMPROVED IRON WILL []Prereq: Iron Will. Your clarity of thought allows you to resist mental attacks.
06:17:36 <diebot> Benefit: Once per day, you may reroll a Will save. You must decide to use this ability before the results are revealed. You must take the second roll, even if it is worse. Source: Core
06:17:48 <Avatar> that's a shirt reroll right there
06:17:56 <Mekkis> I'll just use my shirt reroll then
06:18:25 <Avatar> it's like having 2 shirt rerolls
06:18:34 <Avatar> cmon do I need to explain rerolls to you
06:18:37 <Steven> imma go shooting
06:18:37 <Avatar> you are like the king of rerolls
06:18:54 <Mekkis> like having the Diviner preroll, the gnomish reroll, the reroll boon and the shirt reroll?
06:20:28 <Brunius> At 6pm?
06:20:36 <Steven> its noon here
06:20:54 <Avatar> yes
06:21:08 <Brunius> So you're in -7
06:21:08 <Mekkis> I've never had a character with all four of them
06:21:24 <Steven> no
06:21:25 <Mekkis> closest is Grolschmir, with three
06:21:44 <Brunius> -8?
06:21:47 <Brunius> Dammit, I don't know.
06:22:13 <Steven> yup
06:24:48 <Avatar> there's a lot of pretty good cloaks
06:25:05 <Mekkis> yeah
06:25:26 <Avatar> one that gives low light vision, darkness on command and then lowlight vision and darkvision during that darkness, 10000gp
06:25:28 <Mekkis> I hate cloaks of resistance
06:25:39 <Mekkis> what's it called?
06:25:41 <Avatar> that's mass blindness once per day
06:25:46 <Avatar> cloak of the duskwalker
06:25:55 <Mekkis> !item cloak of the duskwalker
06:25:56 <diebot> Mekkis, CLOAK OF THE DUSKWALKER [faint illusion] CL:3 shoulders 10000gp, 1lb
06:25:56 <diebot> This dark, velvety cloak billows with a dramatic flourish in its wearer's wake. The cloak grants its wearer low-light vision. Once per day, on command, the wearer can surround herself with darkness, as the darkness spell. While this darkness is active, the cloak also grants the wearer darkvision 60 feet as well as low-light vision.
06:26:02 <Mekkis> better because of no save, right?
06:26:19 <Steven> my character ausk has a cloak of resistance +2
06:26:25 <Mekkis> unfortunately Darkness has a bunch of mechanical issues
06:26:37 <Mekkis> Steven, so does Mytiazair. I still don't like them
06:27:31 <Steven> always a decent cloak to have when your other cloaks aren't giving a desired effect
06:27:48 <Avatar> it's too much of a default go-to
06:27:54 <Avatar> just to increase the numbers
06:28:03 <Avatar> you need something that has an effect
06:28:07 <Mekkis> I feel it gets in the way of getting a "cool" item
06:28:14 <Avatar> of all the choices that are there, cmon
06:28:48 <Mekkis> I was really happy when they moved all the enhancement to ability items into the headband and the belt slots
06:29:10 <Mekkis> that's one big improvement of Pathfinder over 3.5
06:29:19 <Avatar> what were they in 3.5
06:29:41 <Sn0uu> rable
06:30:05 <N2H4> all kinds of stuff.
06:30:12 <Mekkis> Headband of intellect, cloak of charisma, peripet of wisdom, gloves of dex, gloves of +2 str, belt of +4 and +6 str, peripet of con iirc
06:30:44 <N2H4> I remember the cloak of charisma, and I thought dex was boots, but I could be wrong.
06:30:54 <Mekkis> dex was gloves
06:30:57 <N2H4> and yeah, belt was traditionally str.
06:31:04 <Steven> gloves
06:31:06 <Mekkis> only for +4 and +6
06:31:11 <Mekkis> gloves for +2
06:31:28 <Steven> str was gauntlets
06:31:36 <Mekkis> for +2
06:31:41 <Steven> yup
06:31:48 <Mekkis> but a belt for +4 and +6
06:31:52 <Mekkis> so no upgrading :)
06:32:32 <Steven> when they put them all into two different slots, it made it so people couldn't just stat boost like mad
06:32:54 <Mekkis> it also opened the other slots up for Cool Stuff
06:33:01 <Steven> yup
06:33:11 <Mekkis> the other solution is what happened with the Magic Item Compendium on p234
06:34:11 <Mekkis> "Here's a table of generic boring stuff you can shove onto your items"
06:34:21 <Avatar> that's right
06:34:33 <Steven> i think imma go to the store
06:34:39 <Steven> buy some biscuits and gravy making
06:34:45 <Mekkis> but some people like Avatar and Ballig didn't like it
06:36:15 <N2H4> We used to use the table for ordering custom made magic items in 3.5 sometimes.
06:36:37 <N2H4> Turns out power scaling goes nuts when your players pretty much design their own items.
06:36:52 <Steven> go figure
06:36:58 <Mekkis> well, it's better than the one in the DMG
06:37:06 <N2H4> especially since bonuses to skill checks are pretty damn cheap.
06:37:31 <Steven> i know i am going to make a custom item in walters homebrew
06:37:43 <N2H4> If you got a character design that can make a few skill checks do all kinds of things, you're halfway into broken-ville.
06:37:57 <Mekkis> skills aren't on the table
06:38:18 <N2H4> Skill bonuses?
06:38:52 <Mekkis> http://nl.ti4200.info/~mekkis/MICp234.pdf
06:39:05 <Steven> that will let me cast fickle winds on myself
06:39:19 <N2H4> There was a table like this in 3.5 somewhere.
06:39:21 <N2H4> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items#Table-Estimating-Magic-Item-Gold-Piece-Values
06:39:27 <Mekkis> yes
06:39:29 <Mekkis> in the DMG
06:39:35 <Mekkis> not the word ESTIMATING
06:39:45 <Mekkis> note*
06:40:12 <N2H4> Yep. And if you let players use it to order up stuff, shit gets crazy.
06:40:26 <Mekkis> sure
06:42:17 <Avatar> there are bracers which let you use glibness once per day
06:42:21 <Mekkis> reminds me of http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#mantleofEpicSpellResistance
06:42:23 <Avatar> 7900gp
06:43:00 <Avatar> I think snickers has just under 20000gp too
06:44:45 <Mekkis> snickers has the Cape, right?
06:45:02 <Avatar> no she has a catching cape which she's never ended up using
06:45:21 <Avatar> pretty good buy, once-off 20% miss chance for an encounter, 250gp or something
06:45:37 <Mekkis> I thought she learnt from that time in the market
06:46:09 <Avatar> she learnt about how you are an unreliable party member
06:46:09 <Mekkis> she learnt about how you are an unreliable party member
06:47:31 <Avatar> +20 to bluff once per day without needing UMD is pretty sexy when you already have a lot of ranks in bluff
06:47:38 <Avatar> usually you don't need to make it more than once per day anyway
06:49:30 <Avatar> snickers already has 16 on bluff, glibness would boost that to +36
06:49:37 <Avatar> what kind of lies can you tell with 1d20+36

10:32:36 <fued> which adc
10:32:46 <Sn0uu> Ashe :)
10:32:48 <fued> nope lol
10:32:55 <fued> i think ashe is terrible haha
10:33:17 <fued> only reason to pick her, is if your team has absolutely no initiation
10:43:09 <Ballig> what's adc
10:43:26 <Brunius> analogue-digital convertor.
10:43:35 <Ballig> it all makes sense now
10:43:35 <Brunius> (conversion?)
10:44:14 <Brunius> Attack Damage Carry
10:44:17 <Sn0uu> we just did easy bots in 10 mins mid
10:45:06 <N2H4> yo.
10:45:48 <N2H4> ashe? Yeah, shes okay, but not fantastic. There are much stronger picks.
10:45:48 <Sn0uu> sup
10:45:53 <Sn0uu> like
10:45:57 <Sn0uu> wait...
10:46:11 <Sn0uu> what would be the next best ADC thats snowy or icy?
10:46:15 <Sn0uu> by default :p
10:46:27 <N2H4> None of them.
10:46:32 <Sn0uu> Ashe it is
10:46:35 <Mekkis> most of them work
10:46:54 <N2H4> Ashe, Sej, and Anivia have the cold market cornered.
10:47:15 <Sn0uu> but I need a cold ADC
10:47:26 <Mekkis> most ADCs don't care about the cold
10:47:33 <Mekkis> just don't get them too wet
10:47:50 <Sn0uu> o_O
10:47:51 <N2H4> But I can't expect much out of you if you're gonna play for aesthetics. Hell, even my sister got past that.
10:48:02 <Sn0uu> :p
10:48:04 <Sn0uu> but its FUN!
10:48:07 <Sn0uu> -whine-
10:48:22 <N2H4> When she first started playing, she'd only play the pretty girls. Then she started experimenting with other stuff.
10:48:24 <Brunius> Wouldn't cold make them work better?
10:48:29 <N2H4> Turns out the best pick for her is Garen.
10:48:50 <Mekkis> depends how cold, Brunius
10:49:24 <Brunius> -273 ?
10:50:57 <Sn0uu> bahahaha
10:50:58 <Sn0uu> thats awesome
10:50:59 <Mekkis> even -150 is enough to do some damage, depending on what support circuitry you're using
11:01:52 <Sn0uu> oh
11:12:43 <Ballig> Mekkis: do you think that the summoner's ability to summon monsters as a standard action is equal in power to the summoner's eidolon?
11:13:31 <Mekkis> I've never thought on comparing them on power. At 1st and 2nd level, no.
11:14:08 <Mekkis> Higher than that, potentially. Assuming you'd be splashing out on Augment summoning / sacred summons etc
11:14:53 <Ballig> I'm disappointed that master summoner is no longer legal
11:14:59 <Mekkis> whether or not it's "equal in power", I'd still attest that it's powerful enough to play.
11:23:48 <fued> garens a best pick for someone? isnt he the worst champ in the game? lol
11:27:54 <Sn0uu> aha! so Ashe is better
11:28:08 <Sn0uu> It makes me sad that I can
11:28:20 <Sn0uu> 't remember ever playing a D&D char past lvl 2
11:31:13 <Mekkis> it is
11:33:04 <Sn0uu> I'm not even sure it's actually happened
11:33:20 <fued> u never played baldurs gate/nwn?
11:33:21 <fued> lol
11:33:37 <Sn0uu> I love BG
11:34:36 <Mekkis> it's not really D&D though
11:34:38 <Mekkis> it's close

11:35:59 <Mekkis> Hammer the gap
11:36:54 <fued> hoping to release the kickstarter for my game in a day or two
11:37:36 <fued> was supposed to be tonight, be had an artist/designer flake out and quit
11:38:16 <Ballig> hammer the gap doesn't seem that great to me
11:39:01 <Ballig> it seems like the poor man's weapon specialization
11:39:01 <Mekkis> I agree, Ballig
11:39:17 <Mekkis> at least you don't need to be a fighter
11:39:30 <Ballig> yeah it's easier to get
11:39:47 <Ballig> I think there are usually better options though
11:40:16 <Mekkis> I would be surprised if there is any time when there isn't
11:40:23 <Mekkis> hmm
11:40:28 <Mekkis> full-attacking a wall
11:40:50 <Ballig> how often are you strapped for time when attacking a wall
11:41:09 <Mekkis> it's happened. Twice I think
11:41:36 <Mekkis> trapped in a room filling with water
11:42:36 <Steven> i could see hammer the gap being decent if you had a monk that could hit frequently
11:44:16 <Ballig> it's not necessarily restricted to melee either
11:44:45 <Ballig> should be able to combine it with rapid shot
11:46:02 <Mekkis> hmm
11:46:22 <Sn0uu> What HAPPEN?@?@?!?!?!!?
11:47:03 <Sn0uu> be had? :s
11:47:15 <Ballig> are you high
11:47:36 <Sn0uu> oh, we*
11:47:37 <Mekkis> Somebody set us up the bomb !!
11:48:51 <Sn0uu> YES
11:49:08 <Sn0uu> send out the zigz!
11:49:36 <Steven> yeah i think hammer the gap could be really awesome with say a gunslinger
11:49:36 <Mekkis> you missed the "we get signal" bit

12:39:21 <BoomerET> Hello everyone
12:39:36 <Ballig> sup boomz
12:40:46 <BoomerET> Living the good life here in Paradise.
12:40:50 <BoomerET> You?
12:40:57 <Ballig> where's Paradise
12:42:03 <BoomerET> Northern California
12:42:38 <Ballig> why is that Paradise
12:43:03 <BoomerET> Because it's where I live silly.
12:43:20 <BoomerET> Everyplace I am is Paradise.
12:43:32 <BoomerET> When I was in Brisbane, that was Paradise :)
12:44:05 <Ballig> no it wasn't because Mekkis was also there
12:44:06 <Ballig> ha ha ha
12:44:37 <Brunius> Didn't you live there once
12:44:55 <Ballig> once
12:46:36 <BoomerET> I only spent about a month there, but it was probably one of the best times of my life.
12:47:13 <BoomerET> An IRC guy I've known since '96 (from .au) committed suicide recently, no idea why.
12:47:26 <Ballig> was he in Brisbane
12:47:32 <Ballig> was it Mekkis
12:47:33 <Ballig> is Mekkis a ghost
12:47:36 <BoomerET> We were co-founders of an N64 release group. Never met in person.
12:48:55 <BoomerET> seems like I haven't played PFS in months
12:48:57 <Ballig> what does an N64 release group do
12:49:42 <Brunius> Release N64s
12:49:49 <BoomerET> um, it's a kind word for pirates
12:50:03 <Ballig> are you a pirate
12:50:14 <Brunius> Can I have a cannon
12:50:19 <BoomerET> not anymore
12:50:19 <N2H4> Do you have a parrot? A peg leg? A hook?
12:50:21 <Ballig> do you have a parrot
12:50:33 <BoomerET> Argh
12:53:22 <Ballig> don't you mean Arr
12:53:23 <BoomerET> But I do go on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride every time we go to Disneyland (a few times a year)
12:55:51 <Steven> do you know the song?
13:01:17 <BoomerET> We have the CD in my wife's van.
13:04:47 <Steven> last time i went to disney land
13:04:58 <Steven> we rode on pirates of the cari
13:05:16 <Steven> and my brother and i sung the song at the top of our lungs the whole way through
13:07:01 <fued> bloody pirates!
13:07:07 <Steven> indeed!
13:08:10 <BoomerET> Hahahahaha
13:08:41 <fued> meh my games are f2p anyway, pirates dont usually bother with those
13:09:03 <Steven> why would we want something not worth money?
13:09:55 <fued> for the benefits it provides
13:11:23 <Steven> but with money we can just steal whatever benefits we want and keep our money too
13:11:48 <Steven> cause pirates are thieves
13:16:15 BoomerET has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
13:17:02 <fued> they are also free advertisment
13:17:24 <fued> not the most effective source, but still there
13:57:49 <N2H4> Theres probably a couple cases where pirating has lead to more success than other forms of advertising.
13:58:40 Steven has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
14:00:45 <Mekkis> when did they first call it piracy?
14:01:23 <N2H4> What is 2003, Alexs?
14:01:51 <N2H4> Internet Trivia for 400.
14:17:48 <Mekkis> anyone looked at the mythic adventures playtest?

14:55:41 <Mekkis> Brunius, consider
14:55:52 <Mekkis> !spell Litany of Sloth
14:55:53 <diebot> Mekkis, LITANY OF SLOTH enchantment (compulsion[language-dependent, mind-affecting]) antipaladin 1, inquisitor 1, paladin 1 1 swift action Range: close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Duration: 1 round Save: no SR:yes
14:55:53 <diebot> With a litany against the wages of sloth, you slow the target's defenses. The target cannot make attacks of opportunity or cast spells defensively. While subject to this spell, the target cannot be the target of another spell that has the word "litany" in the title.
14:55:55 <Mekkis> for Bairaq
14:57:11 <Brunius> It's a swift action, so I can do it anytime?
14:58:20 <N2H4> any time you don't do other swift actions.
14:59:39 <Mekkis> you can do one a turn
14:59:40 BoomerET ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
14:59:53 <Mekkis> it's in Ultimate Combat, so you can do it!
15:12:39 <Mekkis> Brunius, when you get second level spells, there are heaps of good ones to choose from
15:13:07 <Mekkis> !spell Litany of Righteousness
15:13:08 <diebot> Mekkis, LITANY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS evocation ([good, language-dependent]) inquisitor 3, paladin 2 1 swift action Range: close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Duration: 1 round Save: no SR:yes
15:13:08 <diebot> Calling down a litany of anathema, you make an evil more susceptible to the attacks of good creatures. If the target is evil, it takes double damage from attacks made by creatures with a good aura (from a class feature or as a creature with the good subtype). If the target also has the evil subtype; when it is hit with attacks made by creatures
15:13:08 <diebot> with a good aura, it is also dazzled for 1d4 rounds. If this spell targets a nonevil creature (or one that lacks the evil subtype), it has no effect, and the spell is wasted. While subject to this spell, the target cannot be the target of another spell that has the word "litany" in the title.
15:13:41 <Brunius> Like I need more 'screw evil' effects
15:13:53 <Mekkis> !spell Saddle Surge
15:13:55 <diebot> Mekkis, SADDLE SURGE transmutation ([]) paladin 2 1 standard action Range: personal Duration: 1 round/level (D); see text Save: SR:
15:13:56 <diebot> You and your mount form a perfect synergy that endows both of you with advantages based upon how far you travel each round. For every 5 feet your mount moves in a given round, you gain a +1 competence bonus on Ride checks and both you and your mount gain a +1 morale bonus on damage rolls made with weapons or natural attacks for 1 round. For
15:13:56 <diebot> instance, if your mount traveled 40 feet in a round, you would gain a +8 bonus on Ride checks and you and your mount would both gain a +8 bonus on damage rolls for 1 round, to a maximum bonus equal to your caster level. You must be mounted to enjoy the benefits of this spell. If you dismount, get knocked off, or take any other action that separates
15:13:56 <diebot> you from your mount, the spell immediately ends.
15:14:37 <Brunius> That would be nice, if I get a chance to ride around
15:15:21 <Mekkis> better when you're using a bow
15:15:48 <Mekkis> all your arrows get a large damage bonus
15:48:45 <Avatar> yo
15:49:03 <Brunius> yo
15:49:08 <Brunius> check yo pms

15:51:45 <Avatar> why do GMs only get credit for GMing a scenario once
15:52:09 BoomerET has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
15:52:34 <Brunius> To keep people buying scenarios
15:52:35 <Mekkis> I'm not sure. I personally think it's a bad thing
15:52:55 <Mekkis> I think we should be encouraging GMs to run scenarios multiple tiems
15:53:04 <Avatar> if I run out of scenarios to GM and they don't have any new ones to run, I will stop running them
15:53:13 <Mekkis> really?!
15:53:18 <Avatar> yep
15:53:31 <Avatar> I don't want to rerun scenarios for no credit
15:53:48 <Mekkis> I've GMed a bunch of scenarios for no credit. I actually prefer GMing scenarios I've GMed before
15:53:54 <Brunius> You're aware credit isn't the only thing to come out of PFS, Avatar?
15:54:08 <Avatar> yes brunius I am aware that credit is not the only thing to come out of pfs

19:32:48 <fued> left

19:33:05 <Sn0uu> Ashe :)
19:33:08 <fued> nope lol
19:33:14 <fued> i think ashe is terrible haha
19:33:37 <fued> only reason to pick her, is if your team has absolutely no initiation
19:43:29 <Ballig> what's adc
19:43:46 <Brunius> analogue-digital convertor.
19:43:54 <Ballig> it all makes sense now
19:43:55 <Brunius> (conversion?)
19:44:33 <Brunius> Attack Damage Carry

19:46:08 <Sn0uu> sup
19:46:13 <Sn0uu> like
19:46:17 <Sn0uu> wait...
19:46:30 <Sn0uu> what would be the next best ADC thats snowy or icy?
19:46:34 <Sn0uu> by default :p
19:46:47 <N2H4> None of them.
19:46:52 <Sn0uu> Ashe it is
19:46:55 <Mekkis> most of them work
19:47:14 <N2H4> Ashe, Sej, and Anivia have the cold market cornered.
19:47:34 <Sn0uu> but I need a cold ADC
19:47:46 <Mekkis> most ADCs don't care about the cold
19:47:53 <Mekkis> just don't get them too wet
19:48:10 <Sn0uu> o_O
19:48:11 <N2H4> But I can't expect much out of you if you're gonna play for aesthetics. Hell, even my sister got past that.
19:48:22 <Sn0uu> :p
19:48:24 <Sn0uu> but its FUN!
19:48:27 <Sn0uu> -whine-

19:49:44 <Brunius> -273 ?
19:51:16 <Sn0uu> bahahaha
19:51:18 <Sn0uu> thats awesome
19:51:19 <Mekkis> even -150 is enough to do some damage, depending on what support circuitry you're using
19:58:35 <Avatar> buck has a little over 20000gp
19:58:45 <Avatar> maybe I should get a ring of invisibility
19:59:14 <Brunius> Do it
19:59:18 <Brunius> Do you really need it
19:59:24 <Avatar> most certainly don't
19:59:27 <Avatar> what do you do with 20000gp
19:59:39 <Avatar> I could buy a portable hole
19:59:42 <Brunius> Scrolls?
19:59:50 <Avatar> or hey! a flying carpet
20:00:24 <Avatar> why would you get a flying carpet for 20000gp when a broom of flying is 17000gp
20:01:07 <Avatar> controlled by spoken commands
20:01:09 <Brunius> Because it's a carpet
20:01:11 <Brunius> and not a broom
20:01:14 <Avatar> does that mean it saves actions
20:01:47 <Brunius> Dunno
20:02:11 <Sn0uu> oh
20:03:34 <Avatar> ring of evasion is only 25000gp
20:03:40 <Avatar> maybe I should wait for that, that's one more scenario
20:07:14 <Avatar> um
20:07:22 <Avatar> +10000gp to armor to give it the delving special ability
20:07:31 <Avatar> which lets you burrow through rock
20:07:40 <Avatar> oh wait, soil
20:08:04 <Avatar> that is probably not that good if it can't be used indoors
20:13:03 <Ballig> Mekkis: do you think that the summoner's ability to summon monsters as a standard action is equal in power to the summoner's eidolon?
20:13:51 <Mekkis> I've never thought on comparing them on power. At 1st and 2nd level, no.
20:14:28 <Mekkis> Higher than that, potentially. Assuming you'd be splashing out on Augment summoning / sacred summons etc
20:15:12 <Ballig> I'm disappointed that master summoner is no longer legal
20:15:19 <Mekkis> whether or not it's "equal in power", I'd still attest that it's powerful enough to play.
20:16:13 <Avatar> !find armor of insults
20:16:13 <dicebot> Avatar, no results found. Give me a few minutes to update my database.
20:16:36 <Avatar> !item armor of insults
20:16:39 <diebot> Avatar, ARMOR OF INSULTS [moderate enchantment] CL:7 armor 16175gp, 20lb
20:16:40 <diebot> Each metal bit of this suit of +1 studded leather looks more like a tiny sneering face than a simple stud. Once per day the wearer of the armor may command the mouths to unleash a torrent of verbal abuse directed against every hostile creature within 60 feet who can see and hear the wearer. Each such creature must make a DC 16 Will saving throw to
20:16:40 <diebot> avoid suffering an overwhelming compulsion to attack the wearer for the next 7 rounds. If the creature is unable to attack the wearer on its next turn, or attacking the wearer would put the creature at risk (moving through a threatened square, charging into a pit, and so on) it can act normally that turn. This is a mind-affecting sonic effect, and
20:16:40 <diebot> has no effect on creatures that do not use a spoken language.
20:17:22 <Brunius> 16 is pretty easy to get at your level

20:19:50 <Avatar> I'm using a +1 elven chain at the moment, which is +7 to AC
20:19:58 <Avatar> I could sell that and have enough I think
20:20:01 Steven ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
20:20:16 <Avatar> steven you are missing all the action
20:20:27 <Avatar> armor of insults was a joke
20:20:40 <Avatar> fitting for buck, if it didn't make everything go to attack him
20:21:13 <Steven> say what?
20:21:30 <Avatar> I have 20000gp to spend with my gunslinger
20:23:56 <Steven> cool cool
20:24:08 <fued> garens a best pick for someone? isnt he the worst champ in the game? lol
20:25:01 <Avatar> is celestial armor worth it for an additional +2 to AC and fly once per day
20:25:08 <Avatar> for 22400gp
20:25:13 <Steven> not really
20:25:45 <Steven> doesnt that just block out your dodge bonus from gunslinger ability
20:26:30 <Avatar> what, how
20:26:46 <Steven> isnt celestial armor heavy armor?
20:26:51 <Avatar> no, light armor
20:27:01 <Avatar> !item celestial armor
20:27:02 <diebot> Avatar, CELESTIAL ARMOR [faint transmutation [good]] CL:5 armor 22400gp, 20lb
20:27:02 <diebot> This +3 chainmail is so fine and light that it can be worn under normal clothing without betraying its presence. It has a maximum Dexterity bonus of +8, an armor check penalty of -2, and an arcane spell failure chance of 15%. It is considered light armor and allows the wearer to use fly on command (as the spell) once per day.
20:27:06 <Brunius> Isn't the whole point of it that it's light?
20:27:25 <Avatar> well if it wasn't light that would be a dealbreaker, but that's not why it looks nice
20:27:30 <Steven> ah cool
20:27:45 <Steven> but no, i dont think its worth dropping 20k on
20:28:00 <Avatar> a ring of protection +2 is 8000gp and a potion of fly is 750gp
20:28:14 <Sn0uu> aha! so Ashe is better
20:28:23 <Avatar> yeah probably never worth it
20:28:28 <Sn0uu> It makes me sad that I can
20:28:40 <Sn0uu> 't remember ever playing a D&D char past lvl 2
20:29:03 <Steven> boots of haste?
20:29:11 <Steven> they are like 12k
20:29:21 <Steven> for 10 rounds a day you act as though you had haste?
20:29:24 <Avatar> of speed?
20:29:41 <Steven> yeah thats there name i think
20:30:06 <Avatar> I don't want anything that gives me more attacks
20:30:11 <Avatar> that is too much overpower for a gunslinger
20:30:25 <Steven> thats basically all a gunslinger is
20:30:35 <Steven> tons of attacks
20:30:36 <Avatar> what
20:30:48 <Avatar> that doesn't mean you optimise the shit out of it to give it more attacks when you can give it something else
20:30:52 <Steven> usually all of which hit due to vs touch
20:31:13 <Avatar> my AC is actually already 24
20:31:16 <Avatar> that is pretty good
20:31:29 <Steven> what race?
20:31:32 <Brunius> what level?
20:31:33 <Mekkis> it is
20:31:56 <Steven> you have that thing that lets you fire underwater?
20:32:20 <Avatar> human, level 8
20:32:35 <Avatar> I have dry load catridges
20:32:38 <Steven> goggles of night? give yourself darkvision 60ft
20:33:24 <Sn0uu> I'm not even sure it's actually happened
20:33:39 <Avatar> winged boots are 16000gp for flight 3x a day
20:33:40 <fued> u never played baldurs gate/nwn?
20:33:41 <fued> lol
20:33:56 <Sn0uu> I love BG
20:34:10 <Avatar> what is the difference between flying and "walking on air"
20:34:17 <Avatar> !item slippers of cloudwalking
20:34:19 <diebot> Avatar, SLIPPERS OF CLOUDWALKING [moderate transmutation] CL:11 feet 4400gp, 1lb
20:34:20 <diebot> The wearer of these slippers may walk on air (as the spell air walk) for up to 10 minutes per day, which may be used in 1-minute increments and requires no action to activate. However, she may only walk on air within or on top of natural or magical mist or fog, including fog-like gases such as those created by acid fog, cloudkill, incendiary cloud,
20:34:20 <diebot> or stinking cloud. Walking on top of such clouds carries no danger for the wearer, but walking through the cloud has its normal effect.
20:34:42 <Avatar> on top of fog
20:34:46 <Avatar> that's really dumb
20:34:54 <Steven> yup
20:34:56 <Mekkis> it's not really D&D though
20:34:58 <Mekkis> it's close
20:35:25 <Steven> if i get a vote, goggles of night OR wait till you get 27k and get a manual
20:35:40 <Avatar> yeah you get a vote
20:35:49 <Avatar> do the manuals give you permanent ability boosts
20:36:19 <Mekkis> Hammer the gap
20:37:13 <fued> hoping to release the kickstarter for my game in a day or two
20:37:23 <Steven> they give an inherent bonus
20:37:46 <Avatar> I don't think I would save for a manual for a +1 bonus
20:37:48 <Avatar> despite having a 19 dex
20:37:56 <fued> was supposed to be tonight, be had an artist/designer flake out and quit
20:38:22 <Avatar> goggles of night... I feel like I should just carry a scroll of darkvision with me and hand it to my friendly neighbourhood caster
20:38:25 <Steven> i always view them as a money sink if you are swimming in it
20:38:35 <Ballig> hammer the gap doesn't seem that great to me
20:38:56 <Steven> after Ausk finishes The Ruby Pheonix Tourny he will have something like 53k
20:39:20 <Ballig> it seems like the poor man's weapon specialization
20:39:21 <Mekkis> I agree, Ballig
20:39:36 <Steven> so unless something else catches my eye i will probably buy one of those for him
20:39:38 <Mekkis> at least you don't need to be a fighter
20:39:49 <Ballig> yeah it's easier to get
20:40:06 <Ballig> I think there are usually better options though
20:40:15 <Avatar> I would sooner upgrade my belt of dex
20:40:26 <Avatar> cheaper I think
20:40:36 <Mekkis> I would be surprised if there is any time when there isn't
20:40:36 <Brunius> RPT has about a bajillion items on the chronicle
20:40:39 <Avatar> yeah, 12000gp
20:40:44 <Mekkis> hmm
20:40:48 <Mekkis> full-attacking a wall
20:40:50 <Steven> oh yeah dex is good
20:41:05 <Avatar> I feel dirty upgrading my already high attack/damage
20:41:10 <Ballig> how often are you strapped for time when attacking a wall
20:41:11 <Steven> almost as good as an extra attack lol
20:41:21 <Avatar> yeah I had no plans to upgrade it further
20:41:29 <Mekkis> it's happened. Twice I think
20:41:56 <Mekkis> trapped in a room filling with water
20:42:06 <Avatar> sniper goggles would be cool for a gunslinger, if they did more than just help sneak attack
20:42:56 <Steven> i could see hammer the gap being decent if you had a monk that could hit frequently
20:44:12 <Avatar> 4000gp for low light vision isn't terrible
20:44:36 <Ballig> it's not necessarily restricted to melee either
20:45:05 <Ballig> should be able to combine it with rapid shot
20:46:22 <Mekkis> hmm
20:46:42 <Sn0uu> What HAPPEN?@?@?!?!?!!?
20:47:23 <Sn0uu> be had? :s
20:47:35 <Ballig> are you high
20:47:48 <Avatar> !item shoes of lightning leaping
20:47:48 <diebot> Avatar, SHOES OF LIGHTNING LEAPING [moderate transmutation] CL:6 feet 10500gp, 1lb
20:47:49 <diebot> These short black shoes fit tightly around the wearer's feet and bear designs of leaping arcs of lightning and wild winds. Once per day on command, a creature wearing these boots can transform into lightning and move up to 50 feet in a straight line, re-materializing at the far end of the lightning bolt. Creatures in the path of the lightning take
20:47:49 <diebot> 6d6 points of electricity damage and objects take damage as per the lightning bolt spell. If the lightning strikes an object or barrier and fails to burst through it, the creature wearing the boots appears next to the impacted object and is staggered for 1 round. Movement while in lightning form does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
20:47:56 <Sn0uu> oh, we*
20:47:56 <Avatar> tell me THAT'S not cool
20:47:57 <Mekkis> Somebody set us up the bomb !!
20:48:13 <Mekkis> that is cool
20:48:27 <Ballig> cool but potentially overpriced
20:48:36 <Avatar> you reckon?
20:48:37 <Mekkis> not really
20:48:47 <Avatar> how is it overpriced
20:48:56 <Mekkis> you need one form of "escape from grapple"
20:49:10 <Mekkis> sure, it's a little more expensive than Cape of the Monteback
20:49:11 <Sn0uu> YES
20:49:14 <Avatar> I saw another one that lets you teleport 30ft away from a grapple
20:49:15 <Mekkis> but not that much
20:49:16 <Ballig> other than it just being a lightning bolt, the movement aspect will end up being hard to use
20:49:27 <Sn0uu> send out the zigz!
20:49:28 <Ballig> how often do you get 50 feet of movement in a straight line that won't make you hit a wall or some other object
20:49:30 <Ballig> and stagger you for a round
20:49:50 <Mekkis> up to 50'
20:49:55 <Steven> yeah i think hammer the gap could be really awesome with say a gunslinger
20:49:56 <Mekkis> you missed the "we get signal" bit
20:50:08 <Avatar> yeah the idea is that 50' is enough to get away though
20:50:11 <Avatar> solid point
20:50:14 <Ballig> yeah because if you hit a barrier before 50 feet you don't move 50 feet
20:50:18 <Ballig> you can't be like "I will only make my lightning bolt 10 feet"
20:50:29 <Mekkis> really?
20:50:32 <Avatar> it says up to 50 feet
20:50:41 <Ballig> yes, because if you hit a barrier you don't go the full 50
20:50:46 <Ballig> it doesn't say you can choose how long to make it
20:51:02 <Mekkis> no. it says if you hit a barrier but don't break through it
20:51:08 <Avatar> that's not how I read it
20:51:21 <Avatar> open to interpretation either way though
20:51:29 <Ballig> so you think you can move only 10 feet with it, if you choose?
20:51:33 <Mekkis> I do
20:51:43 <Avatar> yeah I'd say you could
20:51:43 <Ballig> I disagree with you
20:52:10 <Avatar> I'm going to forum that one
20:52:15 <Mekkis> thanks, Avatar
20:52:24 <Mekkis> Mytiazair might want to buy one
20:52:39 <Mekkis> he doesn't have a "get out of grapple" method yet
20:52:42 <Avatar> wish I'd taken note of what the other item I was looking at was that does 30ft
20:52:47 <Avatar> and gnomes can do 400ft with it
20:53:01 <Mekkis> (other than 'Cast dimension door' and hope to make the concentration)
20:53:11 <Mekkis> I'll search
20:53:49 <Mekkis> !item boots of escape
20:53:50 <diebot> Mekkis, BOOTS OF ESCAPE [moderate conjuration] CL:5 feet 8000gp, 1lb
20:53:51 <diebot> These sturdy leather-soled cloth boots have straps at the ankles and calves to ensure a snug fit. Once per day, when the wearer of the boots is grappled, pinned, or entangled, she may transfer herself to any spot within 30 feet as if using a dimension door spell. A gnome wearing these boots may instead transfer herself up to 400 feet away.
20:53:57 <Avatar> that's it
20:54:05 <Avatar> both feet slots
20:54:14 <Mekkis> I should add a search function
20:54:43 <Avatar> that description sounds much the same as the shoes
20:54:58 <Avatar> except there's no mention of consequences for teleporting less than 30ft
20:56:58 <Mekkis> !item escape ladder
20:57:04 <diebot> Mekkis, ESCAPE LADDER [moderate transmutation] CL:7 none 4000gp, 1lb
20:57:04 <diebot> The description is too long to send over IRC. View http://nl.ti4200.info/vpsirc/items/escape_ladder.html
20:57:12 <Ballig> the boots of escape are pretty clear - you choose a spot within 30 feet
20:58:29 <Avatar> any spot within 30 feet, yeah
21:01:21 <Mekkis> I'd probably go with the shoes of leaping rather than the boots of escape or the monteback cape
21:04:17 <Mekkis> I think a "get out of a grapple" item is required after about level 7.
21:04:34 <Mekkis> not actually sure what the level where its required is though
21:04:43 <Avatar> yeah that's buck's achilles heel and I don't like it
21:05:00 <Avatar> in fact I think it got him semi close to death once or twice
21:05:10 <Avatar> you'd think I'd learn
21:05:22 <Mekkis> Snickers almost died to it in the Market
21:05:29 <Mekkis> Itzamna was there
21:05:37 <Avatar> yeah I won't forget that
21:05:38 <Mekkis> Perfection bravely saved her
21:05:55 <Avatar> itzamna almost killed her
21:06:10 <Mekkis> hey
21:06:16 <Avatar> hey nothing !
21:06:29 <Mekkis> Itzamna TOLD you to do plan A when encountering that sort of enemy
21:06:35 <Mekkis> aka "run the fuck away"
21:06:48 <Avatar> you can't go ahead with plan A before the party agrees
21:06:57 <Mekkis> sure you can
21:07:07 <Avatar> then you're responsible
21:07:09 <Avatar> it's on you
21:07:11 <Mekkis> yes
21:07:26 <Avatar> why are you considering the shoes over the cape
21:07:34 <Avatar> the cape looks better
21:07:40 <Mekkis> because I'm wearing a cloak already
21:07:45 <Mekkis> I think

21:15:56 <Mekkis> isn't it obvious that I only got iron will to meet the prereqs?
21:16:40 <Avatar> prereqs for what
21:16:50 <Mekkis> Master Spy, I think
21:17:06 <Avatar> if you're getting iron will you may as well get improved
21:17:15 <Mekkis> !feat improved iron will
21:17:15 <Avatar> the only reason you don't get improved is because it requires you to pick up iron will
21:17:16 <diebot> Mekkis, IMPROVED IRON WILL []Prereq: Iron Will. Your clarity of thought allows you to resist mental attacks.
21:17:17 <diebot> Benefit: Once per day, you may reroll a Will save. You must decide to use this ability before the results are revealed. You must take the second roll, even if it is worse. Source: Core
21:17:28 <Avatar> that's a shirt reroll right there
21:17:36 <Mekkis> I'll just use my shirt reroll then
21:18:06 <Avatar> it's like having 2 shirt rerolls
21:18:14 <Avatar> cmon do I need to explain rerolls to you
21:18:17 <Avatar> you are like the king of rerolls
21:18:33 <Mekkis> like having the Diviner preroll, the gnomish reroll, the reroll boon and the shirt reroll?
21:20:34 <Avatar> yes
21:20:48 <Mekkis> I've never had a character with all four of them
21:21:05 <Mekkis> closest is Grolschmir, with three
21:24:28 <Avatar> there's a lot of pretty good cloaks
21:24:45 <Mekkis> yeah
21:25:06 <Avatar> one that gives low light vision, darkness on command and then lowlight vision and darkvision during that darkness, 10000gp
21:25:07 <Mekkis> I hate cloaks of resistance
21:25:18 <Mekkis> what's it called?
21:25:21 <Avatar> that's mass blindness once per day
21:25:26 <Avatar> cloak of the duskwalker

21:25:36 <diebot> Mekkis, CLOAK OF THE DUSKWALKER [faint illusion] CL:3 shoulders 10000gp, 1lb
21:25:37 <diebot> This dark, velvety cloak billows with a dramatic flourish in its wearer's wake. The cloak grants its wearer low-light vision. Once per day, on command, the wearer can surround herself with darkness, as the darkness spell. While this darkness is active, the cloak also grants the wearer darkvision 60 feet as well as low-light vision.
21:25:41 <Mekkis> better because of no save, right?
21:25:59 <Steven> my character ausk has a cloak of resistance +2
21:26:04 <Mekkis> unfortunately Darkness has a bunch of mechanical issues
21:26:17 <Mekkis> Steven, so does Mytiazair. I still don't like them
21:27:11 <Steven> always a decent cloak to have when your other cloaks aren't giving a desired effect
21:27:28 <Avatar> it's too much of a default go-to
21:27:34 <Avatar> just to increase the numbers
21:27:43 <Avatar> you need something that has an effect
21:27:46 <Mekkis> I feel it gets in the way of getting a "cool" item
21:27:55 <Avatar> of all the choices that are there, cmon
21:28:28 <Mekkis> I was really happy when they moved all the enhancement to ability items into the headband and the belt slots
21:28:50 <Mekkis> that's one big improvement of Pathfinder over 3.5
21:28:59 <Avatar> what were they in 3.5
21:29:46 <N2H4> all kinds of stuff.
21:29:52 <Mekkis> Headband of intellect, cloak of charisma, peripet of wisdom, gloves of dex, gloves of +2 str, belt of +4 and +6 str, peripet of con iirc
21:30:25 <N2H4> I remember the cloak of charisma, and I thought dex was boots, but I could be wrong.
21:30:34 <Mekkis> dex was gloves
21:30:37 <N2H4> and yeah, belt was traditionally str.
21:30:44 <Steven> gloves
21:30:46 <Mekkis> only for +4 and +6
21:30:51 <Mekkis> gloves for +2
21:31:09 <Steven> str was gauntlets
21:31:16 <Mekkis> for +2
21:31:21 <Steven> yup
21:31:28 <Mekkis> but a belt for +4 and +6
21:31:32 <Mekkis> so no upgrading :)
21:32:12 <Steven> when they put them all into two different slots, it made it so people couldn't just stat boost like mad
21:32:34 <Mekkis> it also opened the other slots up for Cool Stuff
21:32:42 <Steven> yup
21:32:51 <Mekkis> the other solution is what happened with the Magic Item Compendium on p234
21:33:51 <Mekkis> "Here's a table of generic boring stuff you can shove onto your items"
21:34:01 <Avatar> that's right
21:34:13 <Steven> i think imma go to the store
21:34:19 <Steven> buy some biscuits and gravy making
21:34:25 <Mekkis> but some people like Avatar and Ballig didn't like it
21:35:55 <N2H4> We used to use the table for ordering custom made magic items in 3.5 sometimes.
21:36:17 <N2H4> Turns out power scaling goes nuts when your players pretty much design their own items.
21:36:32 <Steven> go figure
21:36:33 nosratheno has quit (Quit: Leaving)
21:36:38 <Mekkis> well, it's better than the one in the DMG
21:36:46 <N2H4> especially since bonuses to skill checks are pretty damn cheap.
21:37:11 <Steven> i know i am going to make a custom item in walters homebrew
21:37:24 <N2H4> If you got a character design that can make a few skill checks do all kinds of things, you're halfway into broken-ville.
21:37:37 <Mekkis> skills aren't on the table
21:37:58 <N2H4> Skill bonuses?
21:38:32 <Mekkis> http://nl.ti4200.info/~mekkis/MICp234.pdf
21:38:45 <Steven> that will let me cast fickle winds on myself
21:38:59 <N2H4> There was a table like this in 3.5 somewhere.
21:39:01 <N2H4> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items#Table-Estimating-Magic-Item-Gold-Piece-Values
21:39:07 <Mekkis> yes
21:39:09 <Mekkis> in the DMG
21:39:14 <Mekkis> not the word ESTIMATING
21:39:25 <Mekkis> note*
21:39:41 <BoomerET> Hello everyone
21:39:52 <N2H4> Yep. And if you let players use it to order up stuff, shit gets crazy.
21:39:56 <Ballig> sup boomz
21:40:06 <Mekkis> sure
21:41:06 <BoomerET> Living the good life here in Paradise.
21:41:10 <BoomerET> You?
21:41:17 <Ballig> where's Paradise
21:41:57 <Avatar> there are bracers which let you use glibness once per day

21:43:51 <BoomerET> When I was in Brisbane, that was Paradise :)
21:44:24 <Mekkis> snickers has the Cape, right?
21:44:25 <Ballig> no it wasn't because Mekkis was also there
21:44:25 <Ballig> ha ha ha
21:44:42 <Avatar> no she has a catching cape which she's never ended up using
21:44:57 <Brunius> Didn't you live there once
21:45:01 <Avatar> pretty good buy, once-off 20% miss chance for an encounter, 250gp or something
21:45:15 <Ballig> once
21:45:16 <Mekkis> I thought she learnt from that time in the market
21:45:49 <Avatar> she learnt about how you are an unreliable party member
21:46:56 <BoomerET> I only spent about a month there, but it was probably one of the best times of my life.
21:47:33 <BoomerET> An IRC guy I've known since '96 (from .au) committed suicide recently, no idea why.
21:47:46 <Ballig> was he in Brisbane
21:47:51 <Ballig> was it Mekkis
21:47:53 <Ballig> is Mekkis a ghost
21:47:55 <BoomerET> We were co-founders of an N64 release group. Never met in person.
21:49:15 <BoomerET> seems like I haven't played PFS in months
21:49:16 <Ballig> what does an N64 release group do
21:49:24 <***> Buffer Playback...
21:49:24 <***> Playback Complete.
21:49:24 <Avatar> once per day
21:50:02 <Brunius> Release N64s
21:50:09 <BoomerET> um, it's a kind word for pirates
21:50:16 <Avatar> why aren't I using bluff more often?
21:50:21 <Mekkis> ok
21:50:23 <Ballig> are you a pirate
21:50:24 <Mekkis> wtf Avatar
21:50:25 <Avatar> even without glibness I can get people to believe almost anything
21:50:34 <Brunius> Can I have a cannon
21:50:39 <BoomerET> not anymore
21:50:39 <N2H4> Do you have a parrot? A peg leg? A hook?
21:50:40 <Ballig> do you have a parrot
21:50:40 <Mekkis> !spell glibness
21:50:41 <diebot> Mekkis, GLIBNESS transmutation ([]) bard 3 1 standard action Range: personal Duration: 10 min./level Save: SR:
21:50:42 <diebot> Your speech becomes fluent and more believable, causing those who hear you to believe every word you say. You gain a +20 bonus on Bluff checks made to convince another of the truth of your words. This bonus doesn't apply to other uses of the Bluff skill, such as feinting in combat, creating a diversion to hide, or communicating a hidden message via
21:50:42 <diebot> innuendo. If a magical effect is used against you that would detect your lies or force you to speak the truth, the user of the effect must succeed on a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) against a DC of 15 + your caster level to succeed. Failure means the effect does not detect your lies or force you to speak only the truth.
21:50:49 <Mekkis> only +20
21:50:53 <BoomerET> Argh
21:50:54 <Mekkis> wasn't it +30 in 3.5
21:50:59 <Avatar> yeah
21:51:07 <Avatar> I guess they thought +30 was too powerful
21:51:15 <Mekkis> you forced my PC to restart!
21:51:24 <Avatar> really? how
21:51:28 <Mekkis> no idea
21:51:37 <Avatar> I don't think that was me
21:52:02 <Mekkis> that caused it!
21:52:08 <Mekkis> you h4x0r!
21:52:19 <Avatar> she learnt about how you are an unreliable party member
21:52:55 <Mekkis> it's called "leading by example"
21:53:13 <Mekkis> "Holy shit, run away!" followed by running away
21:53:33 <Avatar> it's called "leaving your glass cannons to die"
21:53:41 <Ballig> don't you mean Arr
21:53:42 <BoomerET> But I do go on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride every time we go to Disneyland (a few times a year)
21:53:46 <Mekkis> you could have run away too
21:53:52 <Avatar> I wasn't ready
21:54:30 <Mekkis> how so? you had actions that would have been better used by running away
21:54:48 <Avatar> if you'd waited a round I might have been able to get 2 prestige
21:54:57 <Avatar> instead of almost dying
21:56:03 <Avatar> 36 bluff really is overkill isn't it, I'm not misreading anything
21:56:11 <Steven> do you know the song?
21:56:14 <Avatar> an impossible lie is only -20 to the modifier
21:56:18 <Mekkis> it was your choice between 1 prestige and -16 prestige
21:56:50 <Avatar> yeah, after you screwed me
21:57:13 <Mekkis> don't do a hitomi
21:59:05 <Avatar> what is a hitomi
21:59:44 <Mekkis> putting your faction before the Society
22:00:16 <Avatar> the society would've been fine either way
22:00:39 <Mekkis> true
22:00:48 <Mekkis> they don't particularly care if you die
22:01:25 <Avatar> yeah +36 to bluff is too much
22:01:37 <BoomerET> We have the CD in my wife's van.
22:03:24 <Mekkis> time to paint a mini
22:05:06 <Steven> last time i went to disney land
22:05:18 <Steven> we rode on pirates of the cari
22:05:36 <Steven> and my brother and i sung the song at the top of our lungs the whole way through
22:05:42 <Steven> super bored....
22:05:47 <Steven> and my car has a flat tire
22:07:20 <fued> bloody pirates!
22:07:26 <Steven> indeed!
22:07:31 <Avatar> !item broom of flying
22:07:31 <diebot> Avatar, BROOM OF FLYING [moderate transmutation] CL:9 none 17000gp, 3lb
22:07:32 <diebot> This broom is able to fly through the air as if affected by an overland flight spell (+4 on Fly skill checks) for up to 9 hours per day (split up as its owner desires). The broom can carry 200 pounds and fly at a speed of 40 feet, or up to 400 pounds at a speed at 30 feet. In addition, the broom can travel alone to any destination named by the
22:07:32 <diebot> owner as long as she has a good idea of the location and layout of that destination. It flies to its owner from as far away as 900 feet when she speaks the command word. The broom of flying has a speed of 40 feet when it has no rider.
22:07:38 <Avatar> !item winged boots
22:07:39 <diebot> Avatar, WINGED BOOTS [moderate transmutation] CL:8 feet 16000gp, 1lb
22:07:39 <diebot> These boots appear to be ordinary footgear. On command, they sprout wings at the heel and let the wearer fly, without having to maintain concentration, as if affected by a fly spell (including a +4 bonus on Fly skill checks). The wearer can fly three times per day for up to 5 minutes per flight.
22:08:30 <BoomerET> Hahahahaha
22:08:39 <Avatar> broom is better just because it's slotless?
22:09:01 <fued> meh my games are f2p anyway, pirates dont usually bother with those
22:09:10 <Avatar> it even flies slower, 40ft instead of 60ft
22:09:13 <Steven> i like the carpets of flying
22:09:23 <Steven> why would we want something not worth money?
22:09:31 <Avatar> why get a carpet when you can get either of these
22:10:04 <Mekkis> Avatar, two things: class
22:10:11 <Mekkis> and the fact that it's permanent
22:10:15 <fued> for the benefits it provides
22:11:43 <Steven> but with money we can just steal whatever benefits we want and keep our money too
22:12:08 <Steven> cause pirates are thieves
22:13:08 <Steven> yeah carpet can be loaded with more than one person so long as they dont exceed 400lbs
22:14:16 <Mekkis> I still prefer flying mouuunts
22:14:23 <Mekkis> mounts even
22:14:41 <Mekkis> does a carpet cost actions?
22:15:26 <Avatar> doesn't seem to
22:15:35 <Steven> a command word to activate
22:15:47 <Steven> and then i would assume a free action to direct
22:16:05 <Avatar> why would you ever deactivate it
22:16:07 <Steven> since walter and kyle were talking about how cool it was to move and full round
22:16:26 <Steven> high winds
22:16:43 <Avatar> I've always been really miffed that I needed a standard action to use the flight hex and then only had a move action remaining
22:17:22 <fued> they are also free advertisment
22:17:34 <Steven> imma go play some video gaqmes
22:17:36 <Mekkis> !item carpet of flying
22:17:44 <fued> not the most effective source, but still there
22:17:53 <Mekkis> !item carpet, flying
22:18:01 <Mekkis> !item flying%carpet
22:18:57 <Mekkis> !item %carpet%
22:18:59 <diebot> Mekkis, CARPET OF FLYING 5-FT.-BY-5-FT. [moderate transmutation] CL:10 none 20000gp, 8lb
22:18:59 <diebot> This rug is able to fly through the air as if affected by an overland flight spell of unlimited duration. The size, carrying capacity, and speed of the different carpets of flying are shown on the table below. Beautifully and intricately made, each carpet has its own command word to activate it-if the device is within voice range, the command word
22:18:59 <diebot> activates it, whether the speaker is on the rug or not. The carpet is then controlled by spoken directions. SIZE CAPACITY SPEED WeightPrice 5-ft.-by-5-ft. 200 lbs. 40 ft. 8 lbs. 20,000 gp 5-ft.-by-10-ft. 400 lbs. 40 ft. 10 lbs. 35,000 gp 10-ft.-by-10-ft. 800 lbs. 40 ft. 15 lbs. 60,000 gp A carpet of flying can carry up to double its capacity,
22:18:59 <diebot> but doing so reduces its speed to 30 feet. A carpet of flying can hover without making a Fly skill check and gives a +5 bonus to other Fly checks.
22:19:35 <Mekkis> ugh
22:20:01 <Mekkis> "The carpet is then controlled by spoken directions"
22:20:13 <Mekkis> does that mean it uses move actions?
22:20:18 <Mekkis> or free?
22:20:38 <Avatar> I imagine it's like a horse
22:20:39 <Steven> too bad the carpet cant be effected by ant haul
22:21:28 <Avatar> so 40ft speed with the carpet and then you can full round
22:21:38 <Steven> yup
22:21:55 <Mekkis> I'd like to imagine that, but it's not clear
22:22:07 <Avatar> how else would you read it
22:22:48 <Steven> well the VC and VL of Washington were talking about how thats how they interpreted it
22:23:07 <Mekkis> that it effectively gives you a fly speed
22:23:09 <Steven> standard to activate carpet, free action to direct it
22:23:30 <Steven> yeah, save that you can be knocked off of it
22:23:49 <Mekkis> the fact that it "gives a +5 bonus to other Fly checks" could be interpreted as that
22:37:45 <N2H4> I disagree with the movement via mount/broom/carpet and then full round attack.
22:38:13 <N2H4> The problem is that even if you aren't moving under your own power, if you spend half the round too far to attack, you can't do a full round attack.
22:42:17 <Avatar> we're assuming you can get into range of attack obviously
22:42:43 <Avatar> oh I see what you mean
22:42:50 <Avatar> you're usually allowed to do that on a horse though
22:43:54 <Steven> yeah, and you should totes be able to do some crazy shit for 20k bill
22:44:18 <N2H4> Wrong, Avatar.
22:44:49 <Avatar> got a rule?
22:45:17 <N2H4> Combat while Mounted
22:45:18 <N2H4> With a DC 5 Ride check, you can guide your mount with your knees so as to use both hands to attack or defend yourself. This is a free action.
22:45:18 <N2H4> When you attack a creature smaller than your mount that is on foot, you get the +1 bonus on melee attacks for being on higher ground. If your mount moves more than 5 feet, you can only make a single melee attack. Essentially, you have to wait until the mount gets to your enemy before attacking, so you can't make a full attack. Even at your mount's full speed, you don't take any penalty on melee attacks while mounted.
22:47:40 <N2H4> Since the explaination is that you have to wait for the mount to get there first, even though its not explicitly stated I would say taking your horse in a tight circle around the enemy, never going more than attack distance away, would be a valid situation for a full attack.
22:48:21 <Avatar> that does seem explicitly stated
22:48:30 <Avatar> you can only make a single melee attack
22:49:13 <N2H4> It doesn't make any exception for the possibily of circling the enemy.
22:49:53 <N2H4> But you can argue that it explicitly states your mount can't move more than 5' and still allow you to full attack. Fair enough, even if I don't like it.
22:50:24 <N2H4> I think allowing circling is reasonable and not against RAI, but thats me.
22:52:56 <Avatar> yeah makes sense, but it's very much a house rlue
22:52:58 <Avatar> rule*
22:58:09 <N2H4> Theres probably a couple cases where pirating has lead to more success than other forms of advertising.
22:59:49 <Steven> jesus.... being single sucks... my room mates are sleeping and im bored as hell
23:00:50 <Mekkis> there's a feat that allows you to make a full attack after your mount moves
23:01:00 <Mekkis> a ranger with the mounted path can get it at level 10
23:01:05 <Mekkis> when did they first call it piracy?
23:01:05 <Steven> pounce?
23:01:43 <N2H4> What is 2003, Alexs?
23:02:10 <N2H4> Internet Trivia for 400.
23:02:13 <N2H4> Is it actually effective before 4 attacks a round?
23:02:35 <Steven> i dont think it is as good as spirited charge+lance
23:02:56 <N2H4> Itn't 4 attacks from BAB the cutoff?
23:03:18 <Avatar> gloves of shaping are pretty sexy, permanent stone shaping
23:03:20 <N2H4> at 3 and less, you can get equal damage from a spirited charge+lance, correct?
23:03:42 <Mekkis> yeah. IF they all hit
23:03:47 <N2H4> at attacks a round, you're ahead on a full attack
23:04:15 <N2H4> Which is in favor of the mounted charge rather than whatever you're talking about.
23:04:39 <Mekkis> !feat Mounted Skirmisher
23:04:40 <diebot> Mekkis, MOUNTED SKIRMISHER [Combat]Prereq: Ride rank 14, Mounted Combat, Trick Riding. You are adept at attacking from upon a swift moving steed.
23:04:40 <diebot> Benefit: If your mount moves its speed or less, you can still take a full-attack action.
23:04:40 <diebot> Normal: If your mount moves more than 5 feet, you can only take an attack action. Source: APG
23:06:32 <Mekkis> Mounted Combat rangers can get it at 10th
23:07:44 <Steven> yeah without meeting prereqs
23:08:06 <Mekkis> which is good, because Trick Riding's pretty lame
23:08:59 <Mekkis> (although Grolschmir might take it at 11th
23:09:00 <Mekkis> )
23:11:04 <Steven> i keep wanting to make a natural weapons ranger
23:11:32 <Steven> of the shapeshifter archtype
23:11:34 <Avatar> there are a lot of items that benefit monks and natural weapons
23:12:31 <Mekkis> all of them benefit natural weapons much more than monks :)
23:12:55 <N2H4> Its because monks are OP.
23:13:39 <Mekkis> N2H4, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were trolling
23:13:48 <N2H4> I am.
23:14:04 <Steven> monks are so OP!
23:14:14 <Mekkis> the only monk that's OP is NAT
23:14:20 <Mekkis> NAT's broken
23:14:34 <N2H4> See? Trolling.
23:14:43 <Mekkis> (you seen NAT?)
23:14:45 <Steven> its like Synthesists, gunslingers, monks, than everything else power level wise
23:15:30 <Mekkis> I still don't believe synthesists are that broken
23:16:02 <Steven> they arent so long as you wake them up for a battle.
23:17:36 <Avatar> there's an item which lets you use atonement once per week
23:17:47 <Avatar> could be useful if you travel with a paladin and need them to do some nasty shit occasionally
23:18:08 <Mekkis> anyone looked at the mythic adventures playtest?
23:18:47 <Mekkis> have they changed Atonement?

23:19:53 <Mekkis> wow
23:19:54 <Mekkis> they did
23:20:32 <Mekkis> you can now deliberately break your code and get atonement
23:20:53 <Steven> yups
23:22:31 <Avatar> it does say they must be truly repentant
23:22:44 <Avatar> judging that in game terms is pretty difficult
23:23:07 <Mekkis> I just don't break my code :P
23:23:26 <Steven> yeah, my friend andrew had to get an atonement before
23:23:44 <Avatar> my paladin is sczarni
23:23:57 <Steven> he went and attempted to kill his herald and his wife Jenny when he found them sleeping together
23:23:59 <Steven> they escaped
23:24:08 <Steven> with the intervention of folnor
23:26:10 <Steven> and now he begins every session with Thorfin w/ the announcement he will happily lose his paladin powers if means he can kill his exherald or a teammate that gets in the way of him killing his exherald
23:26:25 <Steven> and so we always manage to work into the story somewhere that he has spotted them
23:27:43 Steven has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
23:28:14 Steven ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
23:28:21 <Steven> had to restart
23:28:57 <Mekkis> I like Commune 1/scenario
23:29:11 <Steven> last time thorfin and folnor partied together, folnor(while invisible) pulled out a drawing of Jenny and Mr. Giggles(herald)
23:29:22 <Steven> together on a beach
23:30:54 <Steven> and andrew spent the rest of the scenario on constant vigil for them
23:31:04 <Steven> and willingly took a -5 to his initiative
