40:57 <Avatar> war Z looks pretty good
09:53 <Avatar> I could run another game on friday night 
56:12 <Brunius> Don't get it
56:20 <Brunius> Every report I've heard says that it's terrible
57:13 <Brunius> To sum up what I've heard
57:17 <Brunius> >Terrible movement system
57:21 <Brunius> >Terrible community
57:42 <Brunius> >Half of the promised features not implemented
57:49 <Brunius> >Buggy as all hell
30:24 Steven ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
34:46 <Steven> what up
34:59 <Steven> So....... guess whos a VL.
35:45 <Steven> I will be lording this over everyone for the next.... twenty or so minutes
35:53 <Steven> and then my head will stop swelling
37:25 <Brunius> Didn't you tell us this like a week ago
37:52 <Brunius> Does this mean we can go to you with all our rules questions, instead of bugging Darkwhite
39:30 <Steven> i said i was up for it, but now its official
39:41 <Steven> just got the word from mike brock
40:09 <Steven> you could bug me
40:15 <Steven> doesnt mean ill answer
40:18 <Steven> but you could bug me
02:55 <kapow> mooo
03:10 <Steven> cow?
09:27 <kapow> woof
10:17 <Steven> ...
23:37 <Steven> ahhhhhhhhhh relaxing out to the max
53:36 <MekkisScreen> congrats Steven 
53:51 <Steven> thanks mekkis
53:57 <MekkisScreen> so, what is the carrying capacity of a young giant spider with a str of 20
54:46 <Steven> i gave my opinion on it yesterday, calculate it as a quadruped until you get an official response from the development staff at paizo.  so 1.5x the str of a biped
55:02 <Steven> not str, but carrying capacity
55:11 <MekkisScreen> if a four-armed character is wielding two greatswords, how much damage does the second greatsword do?
55:36 <Steven> ............. you're just going to pester me aren't you?
56:14 <MekkisScreen> What sort of action is required to put an amulet on an eidolon?
56:44 <Steven> yup.... just gonna pester me
56:53 <MekkisScreen> don't worry..
56:57 <MekkisScreen> I won't
57:03 <Steven> luckily... well its a mixed bag really... i gotta go pick up some medications
57:25 <MekkisScreen> that reminds me: I've been meaning to kick the wasp's nest on the forums
58:15 <Steven> why would you do something like that? the morons there never stop debating shit once you let them start
58:54 <MekkisScreen> I want to ask about the rationale behind only giving GMs credit the first time they run a scenario
59:38 <MekkisScreen> I just know that that would result in a hell of a lot of posts that are rathe unrelated
00:18 <Steven> yeah... and the reason is probably because a person could find a REALLY fast scenario, like you only die twice
00:50 <MekkisScreen> or first steps 1?
01:06 <Steven> and run it repeatedly and level up several characters in rapid succession with decent gold gain.
01:21 <Steven> first steps 1 is only with first level characters
01:42 <MekkisScreen> if you limit it to one chronicle sheet per scenario per character, that doesn't really affect it
02:11 <Steven> yes, but if you have 5 characters all level 7 and one scenario has a really bad ass boon
02:13 <MekkisScreen> I just don't think it's a good idea to encourage GMs not to rerun scenarios
02:25 <Steven> like say.... feast of sigils
02:38 <Steven> which i will gladly run for you guys sometime soon
03:17 <Steven> it would allow a GM to get a crazy boon on all of his characters
03:31 <MekkisScreen> is that really a problem?
03:43 <Steven> with the boon im thinking of.... yes
03:48 <Steven> it would be a problem
04:34 <Steven> hmmmmm it says my nickname isnt registered
05:43 <MekkisScreen> yeah, but if the GM wanted to get sheets for his 4 characters he'd still need to find 16 players who hadn't played the scenario
06:09 <Steven> with google groups, or a playgroup as large as mine, that would not be overly difficult
06:59 <MekkisScreen> not if a significant number of people want to do the same thing
08:10 <Steven> check your messages.
14:21 <Steven> alright, goin to the pharmacy
14:27 <Steven> see you guys in bout half an hour.

59:37 <Steven> that was a pain in the ass
15:04 <MekkisScreen> what happen?
15:19 <Steven> computer system went down at the pharmacy
15:29 <Steven> and it took them... what like an hour to bring it back up?
15:37 <MekkisScreen> hopefully it wasn't one of my clients
16:01 <MekkisScreen> what POS system were they running?
16:09 <Steven> i dont know
16:16 <Steven> they wouldnt let me go behind the counter and fix it or them
16:18 <Steven> for them even
17:39 <MekkisScreen> I feel that I haven't been running many sessions recently
21:53 kapow has quit (Quit: )
22:02 <Steven> run Feast of sigils
22:02 <Steven> lol
42:26 <MekkisScreen> I haven't played it yet
42:38 <MekkisScreen> I'll run Cult of Ebon Destroyers
43:47 <Steven> thats a module
45:01 <MekkisScreen> yes, it is
45:29 <MekkisScreen> I've been trying to run Sanos Abduction and In Wrath's shadow
13:26 <Steven> imma look to creating my own race
14:32 <Steven> lets see how i do
17:21 <MekkisScreen> cast the spell Origin of Species!
19:30 <Steven> hardest part is naming the damn race
24:10 <Steven> well.... Aberration Fey....
24:17 <Steven> is its type
24:48 <Steven> i dont know if i add the RP costs together or what...
24:52 <Steven> think i add them
45:10 <Steven> so.... many..... options
10:11 <MekkisScreen> I can't see myself doing anything like that
13:06 <Steven> Standard Racial Traits: +2Str +2Dex -2 Wis
13:33 <Steven> Size: Medium Type: Humanoid Aberration Base Speed: 30ft
13:44 <Steven> Launguages: Common and Racial, If int high enough +Sylvaan, Gnomish, Undercommon, Abyssal, Draconic, Dwarven, Aklo
14:07 <Steven>  Racial Traits Long Arms Once per day as a swift action a <Racial Name> can increase its reach by 5ft for one round.  While using Long arms it incurs a -2 AC penalty until the start of its next turn.  This effect can be stacked with Feats and abilities that increase reach like lunge but the AC penalty stacks.
14:53 <Steven> Thick Skinned. Natural Armor +1 
15:16 <MekkisScreen> Steven: seems broken
15:40 <Steven> the long arms is only supposed to be on Large creatures
16:01 <Steven> but just a flat +5 reach
16:21 <Steven> so i made it cost double and act as per reach and eat an action to use
16:37 <Steven> act as lunge even
17:32 <Steven> might take it down to "increase its reach by 5ft for one attack action"
18:29 <MekkisScreen> there are no core races that have + to two physical stats, right?
20:19 <Steven> Specialized (1 RP): Pick either mental or physical ability  scores. Members of this race gain a +2 bonus to two ability  scores of the chosen type, and a –2 penalty to one ability  score of the other type.
21:07 <Steven> and no, not that im aware of
00:46 <MekkisScreen> the hard part is coming up with the background flavour
01:25 <Steven> for me the racial name would be tougher
40:05 Avatar- ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
40:27 <MekkisScreen> the name's part of the flavour, right?
40:32 <Avatar-> andchat got a pretty nifty visual update
40:43 <MekkisScreen> oh no
41:16 MekkisScreen is now known as Aviator
41:21 <Avatar-> got a date/time mekkis
41:24 <Avatar-> ?
41:32 <Aviator> Wed Dec 19 00:41:54 EST 2012
41:45 <Avatar-> No, for the game
41:52 <Avatar-> wotw
42:00 <Aviator> so 23rd is no go
42:05 <Aviator> 24th is also off
42:18 <Aviator> then Brunius is away until the 5th
42:42 <Brunius>    until like the 8th
42:47 <Avatar-> what day is the 5th
42:58 <Avatar-> ok
43:07 <Avatar-> so the 12th? 
43:32 <Aviator> so really, I can do the first session on the 12th, if you don't mind a three week gap before the second session
43:44 <Aviator> MekkisScreen
43:47 <Avatar-> I don't think we have a choice
43:49 Aviator is now known as MekkisScreen
44:00 <MekkisScreen> we can delay the start until the 2nd
44:02 <Brunius> There's always a hoice Avatar-
44:08 <Avatar-> we're quite inflexible over xmas
44:09 <Brunius> choice even
44:26 <Avatar-> ok don't be away then
44:44 <Avatar-> we'll play on like the 2nd ok
46:06 <Avatar-> ok brunius
46:21 <Avatar-> there's always a choice after all
46:40 <Avatar-> are you still there
48:52 <Brunius> It's not my choice whether I'm away.
48:57 <Brunius> There's a choice, but it's not mine.
49:00 Avatar- has quit (EOF from client)
50:12 <MekkisScreen> I'm in favour of afternoon sessions, rather than evening sessions. What say you?
50:17 <MekkisScreen> Start at around 1pm AEDT
50:29 <MekkisScreen> maybe 2pm
52:38 <Brunius> That timeslot sounds good to me
08:40 <Avatar_> afternoon is cool

39:06 boris ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
41:12 <MekkisScreen> maybe I should instead spend the money on Pathfinder PDFs...
43:45 <MekkisScreen> hmmm
43:57 <MekkisScreen> Avatar: I can'ty seem to accept the Jester's Fraud
44:05 <MekkisScreen> can you accept for me?
44:17 <MekkisScreen> {7,8,8}
51:44 <Avatar> no I can't
51:47 <Avatar> what is it doing when you try
52:07 <Avatar> it looks like it worked
02:18 <MekkisScreen> it didn't let me click accept in konqueror
02:35 <MekkisScreen> I found another browser and it worked

08:40 <Avatar> duelling is a pretty sexy weapon effect
08:51 <Avatar> gives you +4 to initiative while the weapon is in hand at the start of combat
08:56 <Avatar> among other useful things
08:59 <Avatar> +14000gp
11:39 <Avatar> grayflame is pretty sexy, spend channels to add that as damage into a hit
11:44 <Avatar> for only a +1 bonus cost
11:50 <Brunius> Source?
12:01 <Avatar> UE
12:12 <Brunius> Yet another hardcover I should get.
12:36 <Brunius> (How many CR of monsters should face a 4-player level 1 party? 1?)
13:08 <Avatar> yeah 1
13:16 <Brunius> 6 player?
13:35 <Avatar> can't remember the rule for more than 4 people
16:08 <Brunius> I will check my copy of the bestiary
19:10 <Avatar> lucky lets you reroll a misfire whenever you spend a grit point
19:19 <Avatar> that is super hot
19:21 <Avatar> +1 bonus
20:22 <Avatar> that may be once per day
24:15 <Brunius> Note that these encounter creation guidelines assume a group of four or five PCs. If your group contains six or more players, add one to their average level. If your group contains three or fewer players, subtract one from their average level.
24:42 <Brunius> What does that even mean
24:51 <Brunius> When will you spend a grit point if you're not clearing a misfire
25:07 <Brunius> or does it let you spend a grit point to reroll a misfire
25:37 <Avatar> so the APL for 6 1st level players is 2
25:52 <Brunius> No, not what does that mean
25:54 <Brunius> lucky
25:56 <Avatar> you spend grit point to do things like shoot outside the first range increment
26:04 <Avatar> there are a bunch of things gunslingers can do with grit
26:24 <Avatar> quick clearing is the most common so you can shoot more
26:46 <Avatar> I actually forgot you could regain grit by landing a killing blow or landing a crit
26:49 <Avatar> until the last game I played
27:04 <Avatar> because I'd never almost run out of grit before
27:06 <Brunius> I know you did it at least once
27:14 <Brunius> While I was at the table
27:16 <Avatar> did what at least once
27:17 <Brunius> Back at level 3 or so
27:23 <Brunius> regained grit that way
27:33 <Avatar> must've been a while ago
27:53 <Brunius> You bugged us not to kill the guy while he was close to death so you could regain the grit
28:27 <Avatar> haha I don't even remember that
29:11 <Avatar> here we go, determination
29:24 <Avatar> armor effect that automatically puts breath of life on you once per day when you drop
29:31 <Avatar> +30000gp
29:39 <Avatar> that one might be saving up for
29:44 <Avatar> might be worth* saving up for
32:08 <Avatar> a +3 bonus on armor is only 9000gp isn't it
32:22 <Brunius> I think so
32:28 <Brunius> Yeah, it is
32:30 <Avatar> but +1 needs to be on it first
32:33 <Avatar> so 16000gp
32:48 <Avatar> damage reduction 5/magic costs 16000gp
34:50 <Brunius> how many will have magic at higher levels
40:56 <Avatar> magic attacks? few 
52:36 <Brunius> isn't /magic bypassed by any magic weapon
52:48 <Avatar> yeah
53:13 <Avatar> a lot of bad guys just use natural attacks
55:03 <Avatar> +2250gp to get +3 on saves vs poison is decent
55:19 <Brunius> I haven't seen much poison used so far
55:24 <Avatar> I wonder if that stacks with antitoxin
55:36 <Avatar> the armor is a resistance bonus
55:48 <Brunius> what type of save is it
56:01 <Avatar> on any save vs poison
56:11 <Brunius> yeah, but what type of bonus is it
56:15 <Brunius> antitoxin is alchemical
56:21 <Brunius> So if it's not alchemical it stacks
56:34 <Avatar> nice
56:44 <Avatar> that is incredibly good
56:54 <Avatar> makes a periapt of proof against poison much less valuable
57:20 <Avatar> @ 27000gp

28:32 <Brunius> How do I herd the party where I want them to go?
28:45 <Brunius> I mean, they're on this big ol' world that seems like anything can happen
28:52 <Brunius> But I've got this plot that might be cool
29:08 <Brunius> Do I go with the direction they want, then morph my stuff around that?
29:23 <Brunius> Or do I drop heavy hints that HEY, there's a lot of treasure here
29:28 <Brunius> Maybe you should check it out
45:38 <Mekkis> Brunius, send a sphere of annihilation at them
48:14 <Brunius> Seems a little overkill for a level 1 party
53:14 <Mekkis> that's why I like getting an idea about what the character's motivations and ambitions are
56:05 <Mekkis> Brunius, were you born after 1994?
56:14 <Brunius> 1996
56:18 <Mekkis> pity
56:29 <kapow> drinks?
56:39 <kapow> thats the 18 cut off at the moment
56:45 <kapow> are we all getting drunk ^_^?
56:49 <Mekkis> nah, he wanted a bank account
57:08 <kapow> eh
57:18 <kapow> I opened my bank account when i was 14
57:46 <kapow> how was pathfinder btw tonight mek
57:47 <Mekkis> that allowed him to make internet transfers
