01:30:07 <Mekkis> did you play with Darvesh, David Astley's druid?
01:35:12 <Avatar> yeah
01:35:20 <Avatar> in quest for perfection 2
01:36:18 <Mekkis> his character's getting unintentionally broken
01:36:41 <Mekkis> he's been doing the wildshape into earth elemental + hat of disguise to dwarf now
01:36:48 <Mekkis> walking around with an AC of 35
01:38:18 <Avatar> oops
01:38:37 <Avatar> that doesn't sound very unintentional
01:42:13 <Mekkis> why are sorcerers so feat-starved
01:46:40 <Mekkis> oh, it was funny in Golemworks
01:46:45 <Mekkis> have you played that, Avatar?

05:31:52 <Wrothmonk> pathfinder society is what we play here.
05:34:15 <mrk> ok, havent played that variant
05:34:38 <mrk> i presume its a variant rather than a standalone
05:43:10 <Ballig> pathfinder is its own set of rules
05:43:13 <Ballig> based heavily on D&D 3.5e
05:43:42 <mrk> cool.you guys play online or?
05:44:16 <Ballig> yeah. we play here and use skype
05:44:56 <mrk> how would i get in on that? its been a while, but i used to love playin
05:45:25 <Ballig> if you sign up to the website you'll get invitations to games e-mailed to you
05:45:46 <Ballig> and if you stick around in the channel it always helps too
05:46:01 <mrk> good to know. website?
05:46:22 <Ballig> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/
05:47:31 <Wrothmonk> The getting started guide would be a good idea if you haven't played pathfinder society
05:48:30 <mrk> thanks, il have a look through and come back;)
05:48:41 <Avatar> just have a look through and stay here
05:49:40 <mrk> thanks avatar, but i gotta hit the bed. its 330am and im meant to work tomorrow,lol

05:57:02 mrk has quit (Quit: )
06:07:49 <Mekkis> yeah
06:08:00 <Mekkis> ummm
06:08:01 <Mekkis> no
06:08:06 <Mekkis> single bite is still 1d6+2
06:08:19 <Wrothmonk> since he has access to two more attacks?
06:08:23 <Mekkis> Natural Weapons are weird
06:08:24 <Mekkis> yeah
06:08:28 <Wrothmonk> damn
06:08:30 <Wrothmonk> ah well
06:08:44 <Mekkis> if you want to do more damage, put bite on him again
06:08:57 <Wrothmonk> I can do that?
06:09:23 <Wrothmonk> it adds an extra 1/2 str
06:09:31 <Wrothmonk> correct?
06:09:31 <Mekkis> Bite (Ex)
06:09:32 <Mekkis> An eidolon’s maw is full of razor-sharp teeth, giving it a bite attack. This attack is a primary attack. The bite deals 1d6 points of damage (1d8 if Large, 2d6 if Huge). If the eidolon already has a bite attack, this evolution allows it to deal 1-1/2 times its Strength modifier on damage rolls made with its bite.
06:09:34 <Mekkis> yeah
06:09:40 <Wrothmonk> Alright
06:09:46 <Mort-> If you wanted more damage i think id just pass him a falchion
06:09:47 <Mekkis> which means that with power attack, it increases more
06:09:54 <Mort-> 2 hand it for good measure
06:10:02 <Mekkis> Mort-, that's because you're an unrepentant powergamer
06:10:05 <Wrothmonk> you can two hand a bite?
06:10:09 <Wrothmonk> ...
06:10:12 <Mekkis> plus, he doesn't have arms
06:10:15 <Mort-> Bite at -5
06:10:18 <Mekkis> or proficiency
06:10:24 <Mort-> That's why i said biped
06:10:33 <Mekkis> that's not what he's going for
06:10:45 <Mort-> Mekkis is trying to get me burnt at stake for being a lemure
06:10:57 <Mekkis> no
06:10:58 <Mort-> But he asked for damage. I just gave him suggestions!
06:11:10 <Mekkis> for being an unrepentant powergamer
06:11:10 <Wrothmonk> two handing a bite?
06:11:13 * Mort- flutters eyelashes innocently
06:11:17 <Wrothmonk> thats...
06:11:19 <Mort-> Don't
06:11:25 <Mort-> Your bite is at -5
06:11:29 <Wrothmonk> what do you actually do?
06:11:35 <Mekkis> I don't know what you're talking about
06:11:39 <Mekkis> bite is a primary attack
06:11:41 <Mort-> Quadped is fine because later pounce is very nasty
06:11:43 <Mekkis> it's not at -5
06:11:53 <Mort-> If you mix manufactured and natural
06:11:58 <Wrothmonk> grab your jaw with both hands and push them together?
06:11:58 <Mekkis> so you don't do that
06:12:00 <Mekkis> easy
06:12:01 <Mort-> Your natural weapons take -5
06:12:17 <Wrothmonk> is that how you two hand a bite?
06:12:21 <Mort-> So 2 handing a falchion would put your bite at -5
06:12:38 <Mekkis> Mort-, some context: Wrothmonk wants his eidolon to resemble a dragon. Last we checked, dragons don't wield falchions...
06:12:42 <Mort-> Either you fight with manufactured weapons or fight with natural
06:12:54 <Mort-> Ok quadped.
06:13:00 <Wrothmonk> He could get arms later on
06:13:00 <Mort-> Then
06:13:07 <Wrothmonk> Some dragons have arms right?
06:13:37 <Mort-> Dragons I'm sorry don't use manufactured weapons
06:13:42 <Mekkis> not really
06:13:46 <Wrothmonk> K
06:13:51 <Mort-> Yet to see one
06:14:09 <Wrothmonk> Spells per day for summoner?
06:14:18 <Wrothmonk> nvm found it
06:14:19 <Mekkis> but you don't really need it: one of the properties of a summoner is that the class is generally powerful enough, without going out of your way to make it really powerful
06:14:34 <Mort-> The last one flamed me some then went bite claw claw wing buffet x2 tail slap
06:14:38 Brunius-- ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
06:14:52 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, what was your starting statline? 12 12 12 14 14 15?
06:15:09 <Wrothmonk> 12, 15, 11, 10, 10, 16
06:15:17 <Mekkis> before racials?!
06:15:19 <Wrothmonk> with mods 10, 15, 13, 10, 10, 18
06:15:30 <Wrothmonk> yes.
06:15:33 <Mort-> Can do
06:15:48 <Mort-> Dude I'm just an information box
06:15:51 <Mekkis> seems... reasonable. Itzamna did the whole "no stat below 12" thing, but w/e
06:16:05 <Mort-> If you want information thingies just whistle
06:16:11 <Mort-> I'm not evil. I think.
06:16:16 <Mort-> I haven't sacrificed anything yet
06:16:17 <Wrothmonk> I didn't want to dump wis or int.
06:16:31 <Wrothmonk> str I want a /chance/ in melee
06:16:32 <Mort-> I know quite a number of things
06:16:47 <Mort-> You know what's fun on summoner? :p
06:16:52 <Wrothmonk> what?
06:16:57 <Mort-> I know its unoptimal and stuff
06:17:00 <Mekkis> a rod of wonder!
06:17:08 <Mort-> But you can carry a lance ride your dragon
06:17:12 <Wrothmonk> ...
06:17:13 <Mort-> And charge!
06:17:20 <Mort-> You can.
06:17:21 <Wrothmonk> Dude.
06:17:24 <Wrothmonk> I already thought of that
06:17:26 <Wrothmonk> with wings
06:17:27 <Wrothmonk> no less.
06:17:35 <Wrothmonk> :P
06:17:42 <Mort-> It isn't optimal but hey if that floats your boat
06:17:54 <Mekkis> Rod of Wonder :)
06:17:57 <Wrothmonk> gnome riding a medium dragon flying down at you screaming with a lance, both rolling intimidates.
06:18:02 <Wrothmonk> you better run
06:18:03 <Wrothmonk> fast
06:18:05 <Mort-> I actually did come up with hammer throwing from the back of a quetzaquotal
06:18:06 Brunius- has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
06:18:07 <Wrothmonk> :D
06:18:24 <Wrothmonk> … mort, I can't tell if your a genius or a madman.
06:18:27 <Mort-> Suggest you take the feat to sub intimidate with bluff
06:18:30 <Wrothmonk> Probably a little of both.
06:18:31 <Mekkis> she's a madwoman
06:18:34 <Mort-> Both
06:18:41 <Wrothmonk> woman*
06:18:43 <Wrothmonk> pardon me.,
06:18:52 <Mort-> Genius and insanity come hand in hand
06:19:01 <Wrothmonk> Normally they do,
06:19:09 <Mekkis> "Madness and genius are separated only by degrees of success." --Sidar Jabari
06:19:10 <Wrothmonk> or at the very least the desire to blow things up
06:19:17 <Wrothmonk> ^this
06:19:25 <Mort-> There is a gnome feat to substitute intimidate with bluff
06:19:29 <Mort-> Suggest you take it
06:19:44 <Wrothmonk> why? its the same stat
06:19:46 <Mort-> Because trying to intimidate something bigger then you you take -4
06:19:52 <Wrothmonk> oh.
06:19:53 <Mort-> Because of that
06:19:58 <Wrothmonk> Later on then.
06:20:00 <Mort-> But no one said anything about bluff
06:20:13 <Mort-> Again. There are more items for intimidate then bluff
06:20:18 <Mekkis> depends if you want to waste a feat that way
06:20:24 <Mort-> Like the mask of the god king
06:20:24 <Wrothmonk> Yeah
06:20:33 <Mekkis> !item mask of the god king
06:20:35 <Mort-> +5 intimidate
06:20:37 <diebot> Mekkis, MASK OF THE MANTIS [faint divination] CL:3 head 6000gp, 1lb
06:20:37 <diebot> A mask of the mantis is the traditional headgear of the Red Mantis assassin. Designed both to mask the wearer's identity while on a job and to enhance the wearer's ferocious appearance, a mask of the mantis has 3 daily charges that can be used to gain additional bonuses. The wearer can spend a charge to gain darkvision to a range of 60 feet, the
06:20:37 <diebot> effects of see invisibility, the effects of deathwatch, or a +5 competence bonus on Perception checks. Once a charge is spent, the effect granted persists for 30 minutes before fading. Multiple effects can be active simultaneously. Charges replenish automatically in 24 hours. Source: Inner Sea World Guide
06:20:47 <Wrothmonk> with
06:20:55 <Wrothmonk> mask of the god king and you get mantis?
06:20:57 <Mort-> I dunno if i remembered it right
06:21:00 <Wrothmonk> wth*
06:21:11 <Mort-> But steven knows the item
06:21:20 <Mort-> Abuses it on his quis
06:21:29 <Wrothmonk> ALRIGHT
06:21:33 <Wrothmonk> sorry caps
06:21:35 <Mekkis> I'm using the Levenshtein algorithm.
06:21:37 <Mort-> Me...have to do it more mundanely
06:21:40 <Wrothmonk> time for equipment
06:21:47 <Mort-> Cookies
06:21:58 <Mekkis> clothes
06:22:09 <Wrothmonk> let see here. Don't care about light armor arcane penalties...
06:22:10 <Mort-> Always carry cookies. You can use them to summon lemurs.
06:22:23 <Wrothmonk> How much damage do they do?
06:22:31 <Wrothmonk> 1d4 claw attacks I'm assuming?
06:22:39 <Mort-> Uh they give free advice
06:22:49 <Wrothmonk> No thanks.
06:22:53 <Mort-> I wish you could treat it like sensei advice
06:22:56 <Wrothmonk> I don't need advice on killin' stuff
06:23:06 <Mort-> +1 to all damage and attack rolls
06:23:07 <Wrothmonk> unless it gives me a +1 to attacks and damage
06:23:10 <Mort-> But oh well
06:23:33 <Mort-> Studded leather
06:23:39 <Mort-> Chain for after first mission
06:23:49 <Mekkis> spend your 150gp on chain shirt
06:23:58 <Mekkis> buy a quarterstaff for 0gp
06:23:58 <Wrothmonk> thats medium
06:24:04 <Mekkis> and get started!
06:24:07 <Mort-> Light
06:24:09 <Mekkis> no, it's ligjt
06:24:13 <Mort-> Sling
06:24:15 <Mekkis> chainmail is medium
06:24:15 <Wrothmonk> oh chain shirt
06:24:20 <Wrothmonk> I was looking at chainmail.
06:24:23 <Mekkis> don't bother with a sling
06:24:29 <Mekkis> you have acid splash
06:24:30 <Wrothmonk> acid splash all the way!
06:24:40 <Mort-> True
06:24:46 <Wrothmonk> What about the armor check penalty?
06:24:49 <Mort-> Ok time to go. I have stuff waiting
06:24:51 <Mort-> Screw it
06:24:52 <Mekkis> and avoid crossbows like the plague
06:25:00 <Mort-> Get your eid to carry you
06:25:04 <Mekkis> endure it
06:25:07 <Mekkis> it's not that high
06:25:24 <Wrothmonk> climb and swim would be at -2
06:25:29 <Mekkis> that was Mort, the unrepentant powergamer...
06:25:33 <Mekkis> that's fine
06:25:47 <Wrothmonk> Rumil almost drowned with ought a rope to hang onto at -2
06:25:55 <Wrothmonk> I think it was a -2\
06:26:06 <Mekkis> you'll replace it with Masterwork Chain shirt after your first mission, which drops ACP by 1
06:26:14 <Mekkis> if you want it lower, take the Armour Expert trait
06:26:16 <Wrothmonk> Good point.
06:26:19 <Mekkis> dropping it by another one
06:26:29 <Wrothmonk> That would be good.
06:26:45 <Mekkis> (and then you end up buying Elven Chain (or celestial armour) when you can afford it)
06:28:13 <Wrothmonk> elven chain?
06:28:19 <Mekkis> !item elven chain
06:28:19 <Wrothmonk> celestial?
06:28:21 <diebot> Mekkis, ELVEN CHAIN [no aura (nonmagical)] CL:0 armor 5150gp, 20lb
06:28:21 <diebot> This extremely light chainmail is made of very fine mithral links. This armor is treated, in all ways, like light armor, including when determining proficiency. The armor has an arcane spell failure chance of 20%, a maximum Dexterity bonus of +4, and an armor check penalty of -2. Source: PFRPG Core
06:28:28 <Mekkis> !item Celestial armor
06:28:29 <diebot> Mekkis, CELESTIAL ARMOR [faint transmutation [good]] CL:5 armor 22400gp, 20lb
06:28:29 <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. Source: Ultimate
06:28:29 <diebot> Equipment
06:29:02 <Wrothmonk> 22400 gp!?!?!?!
06:29:10 <Wrothmonk> well it lets you fly...
06:29:31 <Mekkis> they're both Worth It
06:30:09 <Wrothmonk> where are traits again?
06:30:32 <Mekkis> I believe Armor Expert is in the Pathfinder Traits Web Enhancement
06:30:35 <Mekkis> (and in the APG)
06:31:31 <Wrothmonk> pathfinder traits web enhancement, where is that?

10:36:18 <Osborn> can someone explain to me how this whole thing works? ehehe
10:36:24 <Osborn> im reading the faq but i dont really get it D:
10:37:02 <kapow_Office> we use irc for rollin wit ha roll bot
10:37:05 <kapow_Office> !roll 1d8+2
10:37:05 <dicebot> kapow_Office, 1d8+2: [1d8=7] 9
10:37:15 <kapow_Office> also saying what we're doing combat and otherwise
10:37:21 <kapow_Office> we use skype to talk to make it faster
10:37:30 <kapow_Office> and we use a Combat assistant to track combat
10:37:51 <Osborn> ahhh i see
10:37:53 <Osborn> thats cool
10:37:57 <Osborn> how do i sign up or register for a game? haha
10:38:39 <kapow_Office> sign up on the website
10:38:44 <kapow_Office> when a game becomes scheduled
10:38:47 <kapow_Office> you'll get an email
10:38:58 <kapow_Office> just go int othe game and accept the invite if you can attend
10:39:48 <Osborn> ahhhh okay cool
10:39:51 <Osborn> thanks for all the help
10:48:49 <kapow_Office> your welcome mate
10:49:09 <kapow_Office> there aren't any scheduled games atm only a normal pathfinder campaign no society play unfortunetely
10:51:08 <Mekkis> probably next Sunday
10:51:11 <Mekkis> or Saturday
10:52:04 <kapow_Office> do you play much society?
10:56:42 <Osborn> im creating my first character...should it be pathfinder society? or does it not matter haha
11:01:10 <Hydrazine> Most of the games we do play are society rules. I'd go with that.
11:01:10 <Hydrazine> Most likely, a non-society gamewould require either specific character creation rules you would have to be told about, or... regular society rules.
11:02:31 <Wrothmonk> hey mekkis, I have a question to ask about the WoWT games
11:02:41 <Mekkis> Way of the Wicked?
11:02:48 <Wrothmonk> Yeah meant that.
11:03:13 <Wrothmonk> Is it an entire campaign or one scenario? since it looked like to me when you were doing it last time it was the same scenario.
11:03:27 <Mekkis> it's an entire campaign
11:04:40 <Wrothmonk> Hrm. Well the main reason I haven't made another char was I assumed you would be doing the next scenario in the campaign.
11:05:05 <Mekkis> what do you mean "scenario in the campaign"?
11:05:30 <Wrothmonk> well a campaign is multiple scenarios right?
11:05:36 <Mekkis> no
11:05:42 <Mekkis> there's no concept of "scenario"
11:06:29 <Wrothmonk> Ok… I'm confused then.
11:07:21 <Wrothmonk> Are there multiple games in WotW
11:07:49 <Mekkis> yes. I said you'd need to be able to commit to a game every fortnight. It's also really hard to introduce new players
11:09:02 <Wrothmonk> ok, then my next question is why did the last WotW game appear to be the same game that I played in
11:09:28 <Mekkis> because you weren't paying attention?
11:10:10 <Wrothmonk> Seemed awfully similar. All chained up in a cell, one guard that changes every few hours.
11:10:37 <Mekkis> as I said, you weren't paying attention. Avatar and Brunius can attest to that
11:10:47 <Wrothmonk> Alirhgt.
11:10:50 <Wrothmonk> alright*
11:10:59 <Mekkis> but the reason I started that way was because I needed to introduce new characters
11:11:13 <Wrothmonk> Ah,
11:11:26 <Mekkis> which, FYI, took up the whole session. I don't want to do it again anytime soon
11:11:41 <Wrothmonk> I won't bother making another char then.
11:12:13 <Mekkis> I did ask you if you were creating a new character before last Saturday's game, but I received no response
11:12:32 <Wrothmonk> I must not have noticed.
11:12:42 <Wrothmonk> Sorry.
11:18:15 <Mekkis> I can keep you in the loop the next time I need to introduce new players
11:23:28 <Wrothmonk> Ok thanks
11:23:29 <Wrothmonk> ]
11:30:07 <kapow_Office> I can't wait to burn things ^_^
11:30:32 <kapow_Office> will whats her face when we get be able to get me access to an alchemists lab mekk?
11:34:08 <Osborn> should i do "Roll 4d6, discard the lowest die result, and add the three remaining results together"
11:34:12 <Osborn> to get my characters ability scores?

11:39:55 <kapow_Office> hold up man
11:40:00 <Osborn> whats up ahaha
11:40:02 <kapow_Office> is this for a society character :P?
11:40:05 <Osborn> yeah lol
11:40:18 <kapow_Office> okay so there is a point buy table in the pathfinder society guide
11:40:27 <kapow_Office> you use that with 20 point buy to get your character stats
11:40:40 <Osborn> oh i see
11:40:41 <kapow_Office> can someone get him a link i cna't at work
11:41:00 <Osborn> i was reading the pathfinder core rulebook thing haha
11:41:52 <kapow_Office> yeah society is basically you can come play a 4-5 hour scenario
11:42:02 <kapow_Office> and thats it you get your stuff a sheet
11:42:21 <kapow_Office> and you can play somewhere else with the same character as long as it' society also
11:42:36 <kapow_Office> if you go to google and look for Paizo, pathfinder society guide
11:42:40 <kapow_Office> you should find it
11:43:01 <Osborn> okay thanks for the help :D
11:43:39 <Osborn> and found it :D
11:47:34 <Hydrazine> Cool.
11:48:27 <Hydrazine> Sorry, was in a game. Otherwise I'd give you the same speech. Yeah, feel free to ask if you got any other questions. Someone will answer. it just may take a little while.
11:50:12 <Osborn> haha i appreciate the help, setting up is pretty confusing
11:51:36 <Hydrazine> Theres good and bad to Society play.
11:52:39 <Hydrazine> Oh, Mekkis: Monk is up to date at L3, my witch I think, is almost up to date. I don't think I ever finished picking new spells for level 2. That should be it.
11:52:59 <Mekkis> ok
11:53:14 <Mekkis> I might run Sanos
11:53:18 <Mekkis> that's a fun scenario
11:53:52 <Mekkis> actually, I think your witch would rather play it, so I'll hold off
11:54:15 <Hydrazine> Huh.
11:54:21 <Hydrazine> Interesting.
11:54:49 <Hydrazine> Oh, theres Nearis too, but I think hes staying in the freezer until I decide to toss him out or fix him up.
11:55:10 <Mekkis> Nearis?
11:55:33 <Hydrazine> My rogue.
11:56:33 <kapow_Office> lunch bbl
12:09:18 <Osborn> whats the prestige/fame on my character sheet mean? haha
12:10:12 <Mekkis> your "purchasing authority"
12:11:57 <Osborn> how do i determine it? haha
12:17:06 <Mekkis> starts at 0
12:18:30 <Osborn> haha thanks
12:21:02 <Hydrazine> You'll know it when you get it.
12:21:37 <Hydrazine> So whatcha making?
12:25:06 <Osborn> human wizard haha
12:25:15 <Osborn> not really sure what all these boxes mean D:
12:25:19 <Mekkis> can never have too many wizards
12:25:34 <kapow_Office> lol
12:25:56 <kapow_Office> mekk i can't decide between a sorcerer
12:26:04 <Mekkis> for PFS?
12:26:05 <kapow_Office> or making something mellee
12:26:10 <kapow_Office> again for tsar
12:26:12 <Mekkis> or for Tsar?
12:26:25 <Mekkis> make a summoner :)
12:26:44 <kapow_Office> nah either an Efreet Fire Sorcerer
12:26:49 <Mekkis> you get best of both worlds
12:27:05 <kapow_Office> or something paladin/magus or straight paladin
12:27:05 <Mekkis> charisma-based spontaneous NAD caster, and melee!
12:28:07 <kapow_Office> but yeah it's either efreet sorc or a paladin of some sort
12:28:16 <kapow_Office> 28 effective CHA for fire spells
12:28:29 <kapow_Office> and + caster levels
12:28:44 <Mekkis> kitsune sorcerer can have 32 effective
12:28:45 <kapow_Office> any items that make you cast spells at a higher class level in pfs?
12:28:48 <kapow_Office> pf*
12:28:50 <Mekkis> for enchantment
12:29:04 <Mekkis> Strand of Prayer Beads, Karma
12:29:10 <Mekkis> Orange Ioun Stone
12:29:13 <Mekkis> I think that's it
12:29:26 <Mekkis> there are two traits you can get
12:29:38 <Mekkis> and the Spell Specialisation featy
12:31:16 <kapow_Office> just gonna buff everything into inc caster level and CHA
12:31:22 <kapow_Office> and drop fireballs all day
12:32:55 <Mekkis> Maybe I should leave Arjuna at Bard's Gate and bring out my wizard
12:37:17 <Mekkis> !spell Create Undead
12:37:20 <diebot> Mekkis, CREATE UNDEAD necromancy ([evil]) cleric 6, sorcerer/wizard 6 1 hour Range: close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) one corpse Comp: V, S, M (a clay pot filled with grave dirt and an onyx gem worth at least 50 gp per HD of the undead to be created) Duration: instantaneous Save: none SR:no
12:37:21 <diebot> A much more potent spell than animate dead, this evil spell allows you to infuse a dead body with negative energy to create more powerful sorts of undead: ghouls, ghasts, mummies, and mohrgs. The type or types of undead you can create are based on your caster level, as shown on the table below. Caster Level Undead Created 11th or lower Ghoul
12:37:21 <diebot> 12th-14th Ghast 15th-17th Mummy 18th or higher Mohrg You may create less powerful undead than your level would allow if you choose. Created undead are not automatically under the control of their animator. If you are capable of commanding undead, you may attempt to command the undead creature as it forms. This spell must be cast at night.
12:48:28 <Osborn> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/charsheet.php5?id=654
12:48:34 <Osborn> can someone take a look at this and tell me what to do D:
12:50:27 <Wrothmonk> class?
12:51:39 <Wrothmonk> also your going to be terrible at attacking things
12:51:44 <Wrothmonk> Period.
12:52:01 <Wrothmonk> You will also want to hit autofill
12:53:11 <niconorsk> I think he said wizard earlier
12:53:13 <Hydrazine> I think its worth pointing out that a fair number of spells are ranged touch, which is a dex roll to hit.
12:53:26 <Wrothmonk> ^^^ this
12:55:03 <Osborn> i see
12:55:23 <Wrothmonk> its dex + BAB
12:55:29 <Hydrazine> And magicking your enemies to death doesn't really work when you can't hit them with it.
12:55:44 <Wrothmonk> Unless you plan on being a magic missile spammer
12:55:45 <Osborn> fair enough haha
12:55:59 <Hydrazine> Hey, I've seen plenty fights won by magic missile.
12:56:11 <Wrothmonk> My point exactly
12:56:14 <Osborn> what dex should i be aiming for?
12:56:15 <Wrothmonk> but its sort of a fire once thing
12:56:44 <Osborn> ok i basically swapped my dex to 11 and cha to 8 haha
12:56:44 <Hydrazine> Dex also plays a role in armor.
12:56:47 <Wrothmonk> 18 total is generally good. so 16 and your human bonus in it. Although hydrazine would be what I would default to
12:57:01 <Osborn> really?
12:57:03 <Hydrazine> I think, the priority arrangement for wizards should be int>dex>con>other stuff
12:57:22 <Wrothmonk> switch int and dex and thats me.
12:57:31 <Osborn> so should i reduce my str wis etc to 7-10?
12:57:34 <Osborn> haha
12:57:43 <Wrothmonk> wis dont dump
12:57:49 <Wrothmonk> thats used for resisting spells
12:57:57 <Wrothmonk> Your going to be the target for spells as a wizard.
12:58:05 <Osborn> haha ok
12:58:09 <Osborn> so dump stats = cha str?
12:58:12 <Hydrazine> Didn't say that. Taking penalties in base stats can be dangerous. I'm merely stating what I think is the best order of importance.
12:58:44 <Wrothmonk> I did that with my second char, a sorcerer. He's melee but I'll never live down almost drowning because of an illusion and a low swim check
12:58:49 <Osborn> haha
12:58:51 <Osborn> i see
12:58:51 <Hydrazine> ...Take it from a guy who made 3 out of 5 characters with notable base stat penalties
12:59:00 <Hydrazine> One of them is already dead.
12:59:07 <Osborn> hahaha
12:59:54 <Wrothmonk> My advice is don't dump wis as a ranged.
13:00:24 <Wrothmonk> and never dump completely
13:00:32 <Hydrazine> 13, -1, -2, 2, 7, 1.
13:00:44 <Hydrazine> Hey Wroth, I made the barbarians lucky. Triple 7s.
13:00:58 <Wrothmonk> ahuh
13:01:08 <Wrothmonk> lucky and low roles because you had a -2 on everything.
13:01:21 <Wrothmonk> high norm roll, low end roll.
13:02:04 <Osborn> 13...int>? haha
13:02:22 <Hydrazine> Theres pros and cons to all the stats. I agree with not dumping wisdom, but I think you could stand to shift some from wis into dex.
13:02:35 <Wrothmonk> seconding that.
13:03:00 <Hydrazine> remember, armor interferes with a wizard's spellcasting, so they generally don't wear it. If you can't rely on armor to help you stay alive... don't get hit.
13:03:10 <Wrothmonk> They wear haramakis
13:03:12 <Osborn> haha thats true
13:03:32 <Wrothmonk> or mithral chain shirts.
13:03:37 <Hydrazine> [(F(Sp)]ork rely on killing the other bastard first.
13:03:51 <Wrothmonk> oh god fork and spork...
13:03:53 <Hydrazine> Expensive and not an option for a new character.
13:03:59 <Wrothmonk> ^ that
13:04:06 <Wrothmonk> haramakis aren't expensive
13:04:13 <Hydrazine> Mithral chain is.
13:04:21 <Wrothmonk> Yup
13:04:25 <Wrothmonk> really expensive
13:04:31 <Hydrazine> Also, a base int of 19 is a bit unusual.
13:04:47 <Wrothmonk> But I still managed to pull off a melee sorcerer. Something to do with having claws I think
13:04:51 <Hydrazine> If you were going hard mode and willing to take the penalties to go right up to 20, that makes sense.
13:05:06 <Osborn> hahaha
13:05:09 <Osborn> so i should lower my int??
13:05:09 <Hydrazine> Or being a bit more conservative and starting with an 18 frees up 3 points in the point buy.
13:05:21 <Osborn> that makes sense
13:05:56 <Hydrazine> But don't get the idea that I'm shoving instructions down your throat. I'm trying to be helpful without being forceful.
13:06:27 <Hydrazine> Any way you cut it is fine really. Especially since lately Society even lets you rebuild a character completely between scenarios until level 2.
13:06:43 <Osborn> nah this is helpful
13:06:46 * Wrothmonk compares what everyone says, and devours what the majority agree on
13:06:53 <Osborn> i dont want to create a character and just have him die immediately haha
13:06:55 <niconorsk> I don't think there are that many ranged touch spells. Dex is still good for AC and initiative though
13:06:59 <Osborn> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/charsheet.php5?id=654
13:07:01 <Osborn> how about this??/
13:07:30 <Wrothmonk> I'd say dump a little str if you can use it
13:07:39 <Wrothmonk> but then again carrying capacity...
13:07:49 <Wrothmonk> yeah disregard dumping str
13:08:04 <Osborn> haha ok
13:08:15 <Osborn> btw...how do i pick languages
13:08:18 <Osborn> i mean, how many can i learn?
13:08:25 <Wrothmonk> you just learn
13:08:26 <Hydrazine> Common + int mod
13:08:41 <Wrothmonk> you can learn any extra languages that aren't secret as a human
13:08:43 <Hydrazine> theres a list somewhere, you pick that many of the non-secret ones.
13:08:59 <Wrothmonk> Kobolds kinda usefull I think
13:09:06 <Wrothmonk> celestial if thats not secret
13:09:20 <Hydrazine> I think druidic is really the only big secret one.
13:09:20 <Wrothmonk> Those are the two I've seen come up the most.
13:10:23 <niconorsk> Golarion-specific languages can be a good idea for PFS at least
13:10:34 <Osborn> haha
13:10:38 <Osborn> i dont know what any of those meannnn
13:10:41 <Osborn> wait let me google
13:10:48 <Wrothmonk> All hail the google!
13:10:54 <Hydrazine> I think that stat layout's fine. Dude, don't stress a first character too much. Think about it like a car. You don't need to start with a Ferrari. You'd probably break it. Start with something easy enough to learn how to drive in. Then get something classy.
13:10:57 <Wrothmonk> Spellchecker, calculate, giver of all knowledge!
13:11:15 <Wrothmonk> calculator*
13:11:21 <Wrothmonk> Dictionary!!!
13:11:37 <Hydrazine> If it makes you feel any better, my first PFS character, I've only played twice. I didn't like him, so I made others and moved on.
13:11:56 <Osborn> hahaha that does make me feel better
13:12:15 <Wrothmonk> I did a ranger, then converted him into a melee sorcerer.
13:12:22 <Wrothmonk> Now I have another ranger.
13:12:44 <niconorsk> Melee sorcerer? This I would like to see
13:13:00 <Hydrazine> I started with a rogue. But he ended up being just not very practical for PFS.
13:13:10 <Wrothmonk> ^ this happened to my dad
13:13:17 <Wrothmonk> although he got coup de graced.
13:13:26 <Wrothmonk> http://pfrpg.com.au/viewchar.php5?char=492 Rumil at your service.
13:13:36 <Hydrazine> I CdG'd a party member in 3.5 once.
13:16:44 <Wrothmonk> I got the damage wrong on my morningstar...
13:17:05 <niconorsk> Hmm, I would have put shocking grasp in there if I was going to be a melee sorcerer but that's still pretty cool
13:17:20 <Wrothmonk> I debated between that and mage armor
13:17:21 <Hydrazine> 5, 5, 7, 2, -4, 10. Thats 25 isn't it?
13:17:56 <niconorsk> yep
13:18:08 <Hydrazine> Also if its a MW Morningstar its a +5 TAB.
13:18:12 <Hydrazine> 3str+1bab+1mw
13:18:35 <Wrothmonk> hrmm...
13:18:40 <Wrothmonk> theres another point in there somewhere
13:18:57 <Hydrazine> Am I getting the point buy wrong somehow?
13:19:14 <Wrothmonk> just a sec...
13:19:19 Brunius- ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
13:19:38 <Wrothmonk> Oh I did get it wrong somehow...
13:20:00 <Wrothmonk> ah there it is
13:20:11 <Wrothmonk> There is no way I put a 16 in cha.
13:20:30 <Osborn> haha its pretty fun making a character
13:20:35 Brunius-- has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
13:20:39 <Hydrazine> Why do you think I've made 5?
13:20:41 <Wrothmonk> ok thats fixed.
13:20:49 <Hydrazine> ...6 if you count both Fork and Spork.
13:20:57 <Osborn> hahahah
13:21:16 <Hydrazine> They're almost the same character.
13:21:19 <Osborn> what does HP Gained/HD/BAB mean in the HP section? or do i not have to worry about that for now?
13:21:29 <Wrothmonk> wizard right?
13:21:33 <Hydrazine> Fill it in for wizard.
13:21:41 <Hydrazine> The extra lines are there for multiclassing.
13:21:55 <Wrothmonk> hp gained is how much hp you actually have
13:21:59 <Wrothmonk> from that class
13:22:07 <Wrothmonk> so let me see here… wizard level one
13:22:08 <Hydrazine> so HP gained, 7. HD, d6, 1 level, 0 bab..
13:22:21 <Hydrazine> 4+int skills I think. 0 0 2 saves.
13:22:27 <Hydrazine> ...From memory anyway.
13:22:29 <Wrothmonk> 6 hp gained
13:22:31 <niconorsk> 2+int
13:22:35 <Wrothmonk> total of 7 hp
13:22:48 <Wrothmonk> since you got the con bonus
13:22:55 <Wrothmonk> Also the con applies every level
13:22:56 <Hydrazine> Aw, it is only 2+int.
13:23:06 <Hydrazine> You know why Nearis was bad, Wroth?
13:23:09 <Wrothmonk> so level two would be… 12
13:23:11 <Osborn> oh
13:23:13 <Osborn> HD stands for hit dice
13:23:13 <Osborn> i see
13:23:14 <Osborn> haha
13:23:20 <Wrothmonk> Nearis?
13:23:25 <Hydrazine> My rogue.
13:23:27 <niconorsk> You can bump your HP to 8 with your favored class bonus as well
13:23:32 <Hydrazine> 13 skill points at level 1.
13:23:43 <Osborn> found it online! haha
13:23:43 <Wrothmonk> Yes, extra HP or skill point.
13:23:50 <Wrothmonk> each level again.
13:23:54 <niconorsk> I recommend HP
13:23:58 <Wrothmonk> ^ this
13:23:58 <Hydrazine> Me too.
13:24:21 <Osborn> oh
13:24:25 <Osborn> do wizards get a class hp bonus
13:24:29 <Wrothmonk> no
13:24:36 <Wrothmonk> its your con
13:24:39 <Hydrazine> Every character gets a favored class bonus every level.
13:24:41 <Wrothmonk> you get 6 for being a wizard
13:24:50 <Hydrazine> it applies to only one class.
13:24:52 <Wrothmonk> if you have your favored class as wizard
13:24:56 <Wrothmonk> unless your a half elf
13:24:57 <Osborn> ohhh
13:25:07 <Wrothmonk> you get two favored classes for being a half elf
13:25:19 <Hydrazine> The basic favored class benefit, is either 1 HP or one skill point.
13:25:25 <Wrothmonk> each level
13:25:30 <Hydrazine> There are other options available for specific races and specific classes.
13:25:33 <Osborn> i see lol
13:25:42 <Osborn> well does that mean i start with 8 hp instead of 7?
13:25:53 <Hydrazine> For example, half-orc barbarians can take an extra round of rage each level instead.
13:26:00 <Hydrazine> It means its up to you.
13:26:08 <Hydrazine> You could take a skill point instead. I'd go with the HP.
13:26:16 <Hydrazine> Skills don't mean shit if you're dead in one hit.
13:26:44 <Osborn> hahaha alright
13:26:51 <Osborn> so which box do i tick to show favoured class?
13:26:58 <Osborn> oh...nevermind found it
13:27:08 <Wrothmonk> Human wizards can take an extra spell if its one level below their highest level spell they can cast.
13:27:32 <Wrothmonk> Cant do that at level one considering you know all your cantrips besides your two sacrificed arcane schools.
13:27:44 <Hydrazine> ..Which I don't think is worth doing for a level 0 spell. Possibly worthwhile at higher levels.
13:28:16 <niconorsk> Meh, for sorcerers sure, but getting new spells for wizards is not really an issue
13:28:27 <Wrothmonk> wait a second… Does he have a high enough int to get bonus spells?
13:28:47 <Hydrazine> I don't play casters much. Could be worth it if you really want your spell book to be a Swiss Army Knife.
13:28:52 <Wrothmonk> if he /could/ cast level two spells he could get a level one I think
13:29:15 <Hydrazine> Doesn't work like that.
13:29:20 <Osborn> this is crazy confusing
13:29:20 <Wrothmonk> Damn.
13:29:20 <Osborn> haha
13:29:23 <niconorsk> You can't cast level 2 spells until level 3 regardless
13:29:34 <Hydrazine> Where are you having trouble?
13:29:43 <Hydrazine> We can slow down the side bar and give you a hand.
13:29:49 <Osborn> haha
13:29:51 <Osborn> well
13:29:59 <Osborn> the skills box
13:30:03 <Osborn> for class recorder
13:30:07 <Osborn> you said its 4+ int modifier yeah?
13:30:10 <Osborn> so i get 8 spells a day
13:30:13 <Hydrazine> (otherwise, Wroth, a wiz with a starting int of 18 could cast a 4th level spell. And thats nutty.)
13:30:18 <Hydrazine> its 2+int, I was wrong.
13:30:27 <Hydrazine> And thats SKILLS, not SPELLS.
13:30:29 <Wrothmonk> that would be awesome though.
13:30:31 <Hydrazine> Not at all the same thing.
13:30:39 <Osborn> so i write 2+int in the box? haha
13:30:46 <Hydrazine> Awesome for everybody except spellcasters.
13:30:51 <Hydrazine> Yes.
13:30:56 <Osborn> cool thanks
13:30:57 <Osborn> haha
13:31:06 <Hydrazine> Or just 2, if you're undrerstanding that every class has a base skills+int.
13:31:20 <Wrothmonk> you may want to hit calculate on your sheet
13:31:25 <Wrothmonk> your AC is off
13:31:35 <Hydrazine> We haven't even gotten there yet.
13:31:46 <Wrothmonk> alright then.
13:32:11 <Wrothmonk> Sorry, my order for creating a char is a little different.
13:32:38 <Osborn> haha
13:32:40 <Osborn> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/charsheet.php5?id=654
13:32:41 <Osborn> ok
13:32:46 <Osborn> is that first row ok?
13:33:39 <Wrothmonk> looks good.
13:33:51 <Wrothmonk> oh one thing I just noticed. Your pas # is off
13:33:55 <Hydrazine> Just imagine a world where a level 1 wizard with 20 int can pull out a level 5 spell once a day. Cloudkill. Summon Monster 5. Beast shape 3..
13:33:57 <Wrothmonk> pfs*
13:33:58 <niconorsk> Write 6 in the skills.
13:34:15 <Wrothmonk> Its an awesome world Hydrazine!
13:34:23 <Wrothmonk> but I see your point of it being OP
13:34:35 <Hydrazine> Cloudkill? Way to TPK..
13:34:43 <Wrothmonk> TPK?
13:34:48 <Wrothmonk> never heard that term.
13:34:50 <niconorsk> Would sure make it easier to survive 1st level as a wizard
13:34:54 <Hydrazine> total party kill
13:34:55 <niconorsk> Total party kill
13:34:58 <Wrothmonk> ah
13:35:09 <Osborn> hahaha
13:35:12 <Osborn> okay
13:35:14 <Osborn> 6 in skills
13:35:16 <Hydrazine> kills things under 3 HD, no save.
13:35:33 <Wrothmonk> oh… that would be bad if the area hit any party members.
13:35:36 <Osborn> whats wrong with my pfs? i copied it off my id card i think
13:35:43 <Wrothmonk> Yeah thats your problem
13:35:51 <Hydrazine> Slap a -1 on it.
13:35:54 <Wrothmonk> it should have a -1 if this is your fist char
13:35:58 <Wrothmonk> first*
13:36:17 <Hydrazine> All your characters are numbered, after your PFS number. Tagged as yours, in order of birth. Like babies.
13:36:25 <Osborn> oh i see
13:36:27 <Osborn> interesting
13:36:27 <Wrothmonk> ...
13:36:32 <Wrothmonk> Thats a bit disturbing.
13:36:41 <niconorsk> You name your children Hydrazine-1?
13:36:45 <Hydrazine> So Nearis, my 'accident', is my number-1, Jerus is -2.
13:37:00 <Hydrazine> I don't have children. Thank god.
13:37:06 <Wrothmonk> Please don't extend the metaphor.
13:37:26 <Wrothmonk> Its disturbing enough by itself :P
13:37:58 <Osborn> hahahaha
13:37:59 <Wrothmonk> and mic, it would be Hydrazine-1 through Hydrazine-# of total children
13:38:05 <Wrothmonk> not just all Hydrazine-1
13:38:09 <Wrothmonk> nic*
13:38:16 <Wrothmonk> autocorrect hates me.
13:38:35 <Wrothmonk> I'm surprised it didn't correct that into "autocorrect loves me/"
13:38:44 <niconorsk> lol
13:39:10 <Hydrazine> I think a level 1 wizard that had 1 spell per day of 3rd, 4th, and 5th levels, could potentially do a level 1 scenario alone.
13:39:22 <Wrothmonk> That would be fun to watch.
13:39:45 <Wrothmonk> and think of the metamagic feats!
13:41:17 <Osborn> why does the character creation guide explain none of this TT
13:41:31 <Wrothmonk> Because its stupid to follow?
13:41:39 <Wrothmonk> My opinion only.
13:41:40 <Hydrazine> Because I'm usually around?
13:42:10 <Wrothmonk> also I think there should be a _ between those Ts
13:42:13 <Wrothmonk> T_T
13:43:05 <Osborn> hahaha
13:43:15 <Hydrazine> Also, kobold isn't a language. I think they speak draconic.
13:43:22 <Osborn> oh...
13:43:24 <Wrothmonk> Really?
13:43:44 <Wrothmonk> Odd. since Rumil can't tell what a kobold has said.
13:43:55 <Wrothmonk> He's been in one scenario with it.
13:44:48 <Osborn> yay
13:44:52 <Osborn> i can speak to kobolds now
13:45:38 <Wrothmonk> And you can speak to rumil with ought anyone being the wiser!
13:45:59 <Hydrazine> Yes, kobolds speak draconic. Just checked. Goblin I think might also be a handy language to have.
13:46:15 <Mekkis> Varisian and Thassalonian and Tian are useful
13:46:55 <Wrothmonk> I haven't even heard of those.
13:47:17 <niconorsk> Golarion regional languages
13:47:30 <Wrothmonk> Again, haven't heard of em :P
13:48:03 <Wrothmonk> oh… is Golarion the planet pathfinder society is on?
13:48:36 <niconorsk> Yup
13:48:37 <Wrothmonk> I never knew that until now… Derp.
13:48:44 <Wrothmonk> No wonder my characters have low int!
13:49:05 <Wrothmonk> They don't know what planet they are even on!!!
13:49:16 <niconorsk> I guess none of them take skills in Knowledge: Geography either
13:49:24 <Wrothmonk> Not the slightest
13:49:33 <Wrothmonk> Arcana for Rumil
13:49:39 <Wrothmonk> Nature for Wallace
13:49:43 <Wrothmonk> Thats it.
13:51:04 <niconorsk> All of them for my wizard(well missing two until level 4)
13:51:18 <Hydrazine> My problem with Nearis was that I wanted to sneak attack with a crossbow. I was unaware at the time how bad of an idea that is.
13:53:34 <Wrothmonk> ...
13:53:35 <Wrothmonk> Wow.
13:53:35 <Wrothmonk> crossbows are kinda loud.
13:53:44 <Wrothmonk> I play skyrim with dawnsguard enough to know that :P
13:53:59 <Hydrazine> Hunters manage to be sneak attack with crossbows regularly.
13:56:38 <niconorsk> Well, you can sneak attack with ranged, just not as easily as with melee attacks
13:56:58 <Hydrazine> Do you know of some trick beyond invisibility to reliably do so more than once a fight?
13:57:10 <Wrothmonk> cover?
13:57:49 <niconorsk> shatter defenses feat
13:57:53 <Hydrazine> -20 penalty
13:58:20 <niconorsk> not easy to get though
13:59:17 <Hydrazine> Um. How exactly does that work?
13:59:55 <niconorsk> If they are flatfooted, you get sneak attack dice
14:00:12 <Hydrazine> Thats just sneak attack.
14:00:22 <Hydrazine> What does it have to do with shatter defenses?
14:00:43 <niconorsk> shatter defenses makes them flat footed to your attacks until next turn
14:00:53 <Hydrazine> Benefit: Any shaken, frightened, or panicked opponent hit by you this round is flat-footed to your attacks until the end of your next turn. This includes any additional attacks you make this round.
14:01:03 Forevernade has quit (Connection closed)
14:01:04 <Hydrazine> ....If they're shaken/frightened/panicked.
14:01:11 <Hydrazine> How do you get them in that condition?
14:01:24 <niconorsk> Dazzling display which is a prereq for shattered defenses
14:01:38 <Hydrazine> Dazzling display.
14:01:39 <Hydrazine> While wielding the weapon in which you have Weapon Focus, you can perform a bewildering show of prowess as a full-round action. Make an Intimidate check to demoralize all foes within 30 feet who can see your display.
14:01:45 <Wrothmonk> Color spray?
14:02:12 <Hydrazine> ....All foes WHO CAN SEE YOU. Full round action, and an intimidate check. And still I don't think it causes shaken/frightened/panicked
14:02:24 <niconorsk> Glitterdust is another way to get sneak attacks
14:02:31 <Wrothmonk> glitterdust?
14:02:42 <Wrothmonk> d20 link plz
14:02:45 <niconorsk> !spell Glitterdust
14:02:51 <diebot> niconorsk, GLITTERDUST conjuration (creation[]) bard 2, sorcerer/wizard 2, summoner 2, witch 2, magus 2 1 standard action Range: medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Comp: V, S, M (ground mica) Duration: 1 round/level Save: Will negates (blinding only) SR:no
14:02:51 <diebot> A cloud of golden particles covers everyone and everything in the area, causing creatures to become blinded and visibly outlining invisible things for the duration of the spell. All within the area are covered by the dust, which cannot be removed and continues to sparkle until it fades. Each round at the end of their turn blinded creatures may
14:02:51 <diebot> attempt new saving throws to end the blindness effect. Any creature covered by the dust takes a -40 penalty on Stealth checks.
14:03:14 <niconorsk> Awesome spell
14:03:18 <Wrothmonk> thats usefull....
14:03:37 <Wrothmonk> just don't get yourself covered.
14:03:53 <Wrothmonk> :P
14:04:44 <niconorsk> Yeah, that spell saved our bacon in the last scenario I played. Blind BBEG doesn't do so much damage anymore
14:05:59 <niconorsk> But yeah, in general rogues wanna make friends with wizards or train UMD. :)
14:06:39 <Wrothmonk> Why not maguses
14:06:43 <Wrothmonk> they can add flanking
14:07:00 <Wrothmonk> and cast all that fund wizard stuff
14:08:24 <niconorsk> True, any caster with those spells will do
14:09:06 <niconorsk> As for flanking, I was still thinking ranged sneak attack
14:11:19 <Hydrazine> Fair enough, and thank you for the tips.
14:12:54 <Hydrazine> However, for the world of Society play, without a persistant party, I don't think relying on a caster to glitterdust is effective. I think dazzling display would also be ineffective, just because it doesn't work until about level 8. And you've got to be a worth something to get to 8 in the first place.
14:13:05 <Osborn> hey im back
14:13:16 <Hydrazine> Similar to why my crazy high damage theoretical monk is impractical. It doesn't work until level 7 or so.
14:14:38 <niconorsk> Agreed on the practicality. For more self-reliance, major magic rogue talent and take vanish
14:15:17 <Hydrazine> Suffers the same 'how did you get to level 10?' problem.
14:16:30 <niconorsk> Why 10? I don't see anything stopping you from getting that by level 4
14:17:30 <niconorsk> Its not an advanced talent, you do need minor magic first otherwise you could get it at
14:17:32 <niconorsk> 2
14:17:57 <Hydrazine> Ah, thought it was. My apologies.
14:19:14 <Osborn> hey
14:19:17 <Hydrazine> I watched AFL Footy yesterday!
14:19:25 <Osborn> can you guys explain the difference between AC Touch and Flatfoot?
14:19:29 <Hydrazine> Sure.
14:19:51 <Hydrazine> One is how hard it is to just touch you, even to just touch your armor. Touch AC.
14:20:05 <Hydrazine> Flatfooted is how hard it is to hit you when you don't know you're being hit.
14:20:33 <Hydrazine> 'Tag' AC and 'Suckerpunch' AC.
14:21:17 <niconorsk> Should totally get Paizo to rename it to that
14:21:29 <Osborn> i see
14:21:32 <Hydrazine> You can sometimes fall under both touch AND flatfooted rules at the same time. Which most likely means you're screwed.
14:22:33 <Hydrazine> So a big armored fighter in full plate has great flatfooted. Even if hes just standing there his armor can probably stop something.
14:23:22 <Hydrazine> While monks tend to have the best touch AC. When your regular method of not getting hit is just being really dodgy, it works for touch too.
14:24:05 <niconorsk> And wizards are screwed for both
14:24:47 <niconorsk> The only type of attack wizards win at is incorporeal touch
14:28:30 <Osborn> haha
14:28:32 <Osborn> makes sense
14:28:32 <Osborn> thanks
14:28:43 <Hydrazine> [F(Sp)]ork have uncanny dodge now. Should be fun times.
14:31:21 <Hydrazine> Too easy mate!
14:41:31 <Wrothmonk> I'm looking over rumil. Damn I screwed this guy up.
14:41:52 <Hydrazine> What, besides the pointbuy and attack rolls?
14:42:13 <Wrothmonk> Not mechanically but actually doing stuff effectively.
14:42:20 <Hydrazine> Ah.
14:42:47 <niconorsk> Well, the melee sorcerer plan seamed problematic from the start
14:42:58 <Wrothmonk> It kinda is.
14:43:01 <Mekkis> Please, stay away from crossbows
14:43:06 <Mekkis> it's SICKENING
14:43:14 <Wrothmonk> But I see half a dozen ways I could have done it better.
14:43:33 <Mekkis> !find rumil
14:43:34 <dicebot> Mekkis, http://www.pfrpg.com.au/viewchar.php5?char=492
14:43:43 <Hydrazine> 6base+4lvl2+4con+3toughness+2FC.
14:43:46 <Hydrazine> Am I missing anything?
14:43:57 <Hydrazine> Rumil is level 2 yes?
14:44:02 <Wrothmonk> level 3
14:44:12 <Hydrazine> Ah.
14:44:58 <Mekkis> Hydrazine, no favoured class
14:45:03 <Wrothmonk> so 14 base, +3 for toughness, +6 for con, and +3 for favored class
14:45:09 <Wrothmonk> wait...
14:45:11 <Wrothmonk> thats 26
14:45:16 <Hydrazine> ..Yep.
14:45:23 <Hydrazine> Which is what I just got to.
14:45:26 <Mekkis> Weren't you taking the human sorcerer favoured class cheese?
14:46:20 <Wrothmonk> ok. I think I'll be re-making Rumil from the start.
14:46:26 <Hydrazine> I'm copypastaing this right off the sheet.
14:46:27 <Hydrazine> 17 (standard) = 10 +2 +4
14:46:37 <Mekkis> heh
14:46:45 <Wrothmonk> +1 for natural
14:47:01 <Hydrazine> Then write it in, otherwise people like me are gonna think you suck at math.
14:47:08 <Wrothmonk> It is in there.
14:47:18 <Mekkis> it's not on the sheet
14:47:22 <Wrothmonk> Yes it is
14:47:27 <Mekkis> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/viewchar.php5?char=492
14:47:28 <Wrothmonk> I'm looking at it right now.
14:47:30 <Mekkis> no it isn't
14:47:34 <Hydrazine> Are you looking in the TOTAL AC section?
14:47:39 bendog has quit (Connection closed)
14:47:40 <Wrothmonk> ok thts weird
14:47:51 <Wrothmonk> Look at the pdf form
14:47:56 <Wrothmonk> http://pfrpg.com.au/charsheet.php5?id=492
14:48:13 <Mekkis> that's not a PDF
14:48:19 <Wrothmonk> whatever
14:48:27 <Wrothmonk> image form.
14:49:08 <Mekkis> you should probably complain to Ballig
14:49:14 <Wrothmonk> I plan to
14:49:29 <Mekkis> also: your attack bonus with longbow is too high
14:49:35 <Mekkis> should be -1, not +3
14:49:40 <Mekkis> (nonproficiency)
14:49:50 <Wrothmonk> wait seriously?
14:49:59 <Wrothmonk> … god damnit.
14:50:03 <Hydrazine> Bows are martial.
14:50:27 <Hydrazine> Get some javelins.
14:50:35 <Wrothmonk> Yup
14:50:36 <Mekkis> don't listen to Hydrazine
14:50:41 <Mekkis> just cast Acid Splash
14:50:53 <Mekkis> as a sorcerer, ranged weapons are for chumps
14:50:55 <Wrothmonk> Thats what I meant by seeing half a dozen ways of improving.
14:51:04 <Wrothmonk> thats one
14:51:08 bendog ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
14:51:12 <Wrothmonk> but I didn't know nonprofficiency
14:51:15 <Mekkis> (also: rebuilds are frowned upon, after first level)
14:51:16 <Hydrazine> Sure, but I'd carry a ranged weapon or two just incase.
14:51:28 <Wrothmonk> I'm not going to bother rebuilding.
14:51:32 <Mekkis> Hydrazine, what? in case you're up against the Tarrasque?
14:51:38 <Hydrazine> I agree with Mekkis. You don't need a rebuild, you just need to fix all the errors.
14:51:48 <Osborn> hey
14:51:50 <Mekkis> !history 492
14:51:51 kapow_Office has quit (Quit: )
14:51:54 <Mekkis> hey Osborn
14:51:54 <Osborn> is there anywhere when i can check the scheduled games
14:51:55 <Osborn> haha
14:52:06 <Wrothmonk> I see faults in feats and stuff as well.
14:52:15 <Hydrazine> Because I'm bad at casters and I would somehow manage to run out of spells/day halfway in the scenario.
14:52:59 <niconorsk> At low levels, casters always run out of spells, but acid splash is a cantrip so unlimited
14:53:14 <Mekkis> As I see it, you have four feats: Escrew Materials (bonus sorcerer), Toughness (bonus human), Armour Proficiency Light (1st), Arcane Armour Training (3rd)
14:53:20 <Mekkis> which is correct
14:53:49 <Wrothmonk> I think I know a few better ones.
14:54:02 <Wrothmonk> such as two handed fighting would be good for the claws.
14:54:22 <Mekkis> if you're trying for Hellknight Signifier, you're going the right way!
14:54:35 <Wrothmonk> Hellknight signifier?
14:54:39 <Mekkis> (which is actually a pretty good prestige class for a melee sorcerer)
14:54:43 <Mekkis> yeah
14:54:48 <niconorsk> You don't need it for claws(or if you do, I need to reconsider my alchemist build)
14:54:50 <Mekkis> from Paths of Prestige
14:54:54 <Mekkis> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/prestige-classes/other-paizo/e-h/hellknight-signifer
14:54:59 <Wrothmonk> I was going for dragon disciple
14:56:04 <Wrothmonk> interesting...
14:56:18 <Hydrazine> I also don't think you need anything to double claw. Natural weapon rules are different from TWF.
14:56:29 <Wrothmonk> Oh right forgot that.
14:56:34 <niconorsk> Well, given that Rumil is chaotic, Hellknight Signifier is going to be difficult
14:56:35 <Mekkis> just a full attack action
14:56:46 <Mekkis> changing alignment is possible, and permitted
14:56:56 <Hydrazine> Doesn't get better with BAB though, correct?
14:57:00 <Mekkis> all you need to do is pay about 300gp for an Atonement
14:57:07 <Hydrazine> as in, two claws at BAB 6/1 is still.. two claws.
14:57:14 <Mekkis> Hydrazine, you don't get additional attacks with BAB, no
14:57:20 <Hydrazine> Thought so.
14:57:52 <Hydrazine> But the claws ability does improve as you level, in some way.
14:58:00 <Osborn> hey, can you guys help me sort out my ac and attack modifiers? :P
14:58:06 <Osborn> i really do not know how
14:58:14 <Wrothmonk> hit calculate and autofill?
14:58:14 <Hydrazine> So I guess there is your compensation. Though don't expect to keep up with the TWF rangers.
14:58:19 <Osborn> oh
14:58:20 <Osborn> is it that easy
14:58:29 <Osborn> thank you haha
14:58:34 <Mekkis> not really: one thing I dislike about that sort of sorcerer ability is that they're pretty crap, and limited to rounds per day, and don't really scale
14:58:41 <Hydrazine> Possibly. What else are you missing?
14:58:58 <Wrothmonk> I'm starting to feel sick that I made this guy!
14:59:03 <Mekkis> !history Rumil
14:59:04 <Osborn> i still have to buy equipment and stuff haha
14:59:06 <Hydrazine> Well, I think its in terms of goals; Mekkis.
14:59:07 <Wrothmonk> hindsight = 20/20
14:59:27 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, could have been worse: you could have made Mytiazair 30 months ago
14:59:41 <Wrothmonk> !char Mytiazair
14:59:45 <Hydrazine> I mean, looking at it as a route to a fighter-alternative with magic... it should be less melee power. Otherwise why have fighters at all?
15:00:06 <Mekkis> and have a continual, level 11, reminder of why multiclassing wizards such that they lose caster levels is a Bad Thing
15:00:10 <niconorsk> Isn't that what the Magus is designed for
15:00:13 <Hydrazine> Looking at the claws as a suitable backup plan for a sorc who ends up in melee? sure.
15:00:20 <Osborn> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/wizard can i use this to figure out class features etc?
15:00:28 <niconorsk> Yup
15:00:38 <Wrothmonk> Yeah, but its a good idea to have the actual books
15:00:42 <Mekkis> Osborn, more or less: I'd stick with the /actual/ PRD, rather than d20pfsrd
15:00:55 <niconorsk> And there are some PFS specific changes
15:00:56 <Wrothmonk> d20 is more of a way to find new stuff you would like.
15:00:59 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, http://nl.ti4200.info/~mekkis/Mytiazair11.pdf
15:01:11 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, sure, if you're willing to arbitrarily buy books
15:01:28 <Wrothmonk> I got my dad interested.
15:01:36 <Wrothmonk> Therefore he pays for it all :P
15:02:40 <Osborn> hahaha okay
15:03:23 <Osborn> thanks for the help mekk
15:04:12 <Wrothmonk> man that guy can speak!
15:04:29 <Mekkis> who?
15:04:36 <Wrothmonk> Mytiazair
15:05:33 <niconorsk> 11 ranks in linguistics will do that
15:05:59 <Wrothmonk> He can curse you out in 19 different languages… heh
15:06:08 <Mekkis> yeah, but the lack of combat effectiveness (especially against creatures with SR) is a big issue
15:06:17 <Wrothmonk> Oh hell yeah.
15:06:59 <Osborn> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/charsheet.php5?id=654
15:07:03 <Osborn> can you guys take a look at this please ^^
15:07:21 <Wrothmonk> hp gained from wizard should be 6
15:08:39 <Wrothmonk> you still need to fix your pas #
15:08:42 <Wrothmonk> pfs*
15:08:44 <Wrothmonk> ******
15:08:48 <Wrothmonk> autocrrect
15:09:06 <Wrothmonk> need tofill in the totals for BAB, skills, and saves
15:09:07 <niconorsk> Thats with bonuses added. Where else is he supposed to add those bonuses?
15:09:23 <Wrothmonk> at total?
15:09:29 <Wrothmonk> Thats what I do.
15:10:15 <Wrothmonk> Otherwise it looks good to me on what you have in so far.
15:10:43 <Osborn> oh
15:10:48 <Osborn> haha
15:10:49 <Osborn> thanks man
15:10:51 <Osborn> ill do that
15:10:51 <Osborn> :D
15:13:27 <Wrothmonk> hem… I can't decide if I should go to bed or make a level 1 remake of Rumil.
15:13:29 <Wrothmonk> hrm*
15:14:06 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, make a level 1 remake of Rumil - as a summoner
15:14:15 <Mekkis> aren't enough summoners on this channel
15:14:30 <Wrothmonk> I still want dragon disciple though
15:15:15 <Mekkis> you can go summoner / dragon disciple
15:15:25 <Mekkis> or bard/dragon disciple
15:15:43 <Brunius-> Photos from arc are up on facebook
15:15:43 <Wrothmonk> the full five levels of dragon disciple would be better.
15:16:05 <Brunius-> Pathfinder Society Australia Page
15:16:07 <Wrothmonk> considering it stacks with dragon disciple powers.
15:16:32 <Mekkis> yeah, but the Dragon bloodline (like pretty much every bloodline), is pretty crap
15:18:05 <Wrothmonk> ok quick question I only need to take the draconic bloodline after the dragon disciple gets put in right?
15:18:42 <Wrothmonk> I could be a completely different bloodline then go Dragon disciple right?
15:18:59 <Mekkis> if you're a sorcerer, you need to have the draconic bloodline
15:19:51 <Mekkis> I'm still not sure what the /point/ of Dragon Disciple is... it seems like it's just carryover baggage from 3.5
15:21:24 <Wrothmonk> Well I can't change bloodline after first level.
15:21:30 <Mekkis> if you want a dragonlike character, your best bet is to go summoner and call your eidolon a dragon, and give it feats accordingly
15:21:39 <Mekkis> feats and evolutions
15:23:41 <Wrothmonk> hrm...
15:23:46 <Wrothmonk> Seems interesting.
15:28:33 <Wrothmonk> So what book is this from?
15:32:35 <Wrothmonk> mekkis?
15:36:52 <niconorsk> What book is what from? The summoner?
15:37:10 <Wrothmonk> yeah
15:37:15 <niconorsk> APG
15:37:21 Brunius ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
15:37:21 Brunius has quit (Changing hosts)
15:37:21 Brunius ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
15:38:00 <Wrothmonk> ty
15:38:07 <Wrothmonk> Just wanted to make sure I had the book
15:38:38 <Wrothmonk> although for some reason I didn't have it downloaded...
15:39:59 Hydralaptop ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
15:42:18 <Hydralaptop> Ahem. Hydrazine. Do me a favor?
15:42:57 Hydrazine is now known as Meltytashes
15:43:32 <Hydralaptop> Thats better.
15:43:50 <Wrothmonk> ???
15:44:09 ulzef_actualy_sleeping is now known as Ulzef
15:44:35 <Mekkis> and Wrothmonk no: if you want to do sorcerer -> dragon disciple, then you need to start with draconic bloodline. If, however, you want to do say bard -> dragon disciple, then you don't choose your bloodline until you hit dragon disciple
15:45:08 <Wrothmonk> Summoner looks better
15:45:14 <Wrothmonk> You got me hooked.
15:45:59 <Mekkis> if you want a western-style dragon, you'd probably start with bipedal form. If you'd rather an eastern-style dragon, start with serpentile or aquatic
15:47:39 <Hydralaptop> Bipedal also leads to Charizard.
15:48:13 <Wrothmonk> Hydra
15:48:29 <Wrothmonk> You just convinced to make a summoner, /right now/
15:48:39 * Hydralaptop bows.
15:48:45 Hydralaptop is now known as Hydrazine
15:48:54 <Hydrazine> We do what we must. Because we can.
15:49:04 <Wrothmonk> For the good of all of us.
15:49:21 <Wrothmonk> :P
15:49:30 <Osborn> hey, is the equipment shop on the main site?
15:49:39 <Mekkis> chapter six, iirc
15:50:19 <Wrothmonk> I'm debating if I should make my summoner Rumil's son. Especially since he is 16 and has a wisdom of 7...
15:50:45 <Mekkis> why dump wisdom
15:50:53 <Brunius> What class is Rumil?
15:50:56 <Mekkis> for that matter, when building a summoner, why dump anything?
15:51:11 <Wrothmonk> Idk why I dumped wisdom.
15:51:27 <niconorsk> Its Rumil, the sorcerer, that has wis 7
15:51:28 <Mekkis> here's a secret: a summoner doesn't actually need stats
15:51:34 <Hydrazine> Thats sorta like saying "I don't know why I cut off my own leg."
15:51:42 <Wrothmonk> Yeah pretty much.
15:51:53 <Wrothmonk> I didn't realize I cut off my own leg at the time?
15:52:01 <Ulzef> i play min cha summoners
15:52:06 <Hydrazine> Atleast with [F(Sp)]ork cut out their brains to be stronk.
15:52:18 <Wrothmonk> Yes…. Stronk
15:52:22 <Ulzef> for exsample not gonna get above 4th lvl spells in society go 14 cha
15:52:35 <Mekkis> I think I'll start calling any character that dumps int and wis as "mentally retarded"
15:52:58 <Mekkis> it's not like you'll be asking for saves anyway, right?
15:52:58 <Ulzef> what if they only dump 1
15:53:08 <Mekkis> that's just mentally unbalanced
15:53:11 <Wrothmonk> I believe I was mentally retarded at pfs when I made rumil.
15:53:14 <Brunius> dumping wis but having high int could be, say, aspergers
15:53:15 <niconorsk> Go cha 12 and bump it to 14 with a headband later, imo
15:53:43 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, I'm not referring to "mentally retarded" as an insult, I'm referring to it as a medical condition.
15:53:44 <Ulzef> Ulzef has 16 int and 7 wis
15:53:50 <Wrothmonk> Ah
15:53:58 <Ulzef> but he makes up for his lack of wis in study
15:54:07 <Wrothmonk> rumil doesn't really...
15:54:09 <Wrothmonk> 12 int
15:54:16 <Mekkis> Mytiazair has 24 int and 7 wis :)
15:54:17 <Wrothmonk> I did it just for the extra language.
15:54:37 <Mekkis> (he still has +20 perception)
15:54:37 <Ulzef> Ulzef gets int to ac
15:55:07 <Wrothmonk> 3 for Rumil.
15:55:17 <Wrothmonk> iseenothing.avi
15:55:34 <Mekkis> wow
15:55:38 <Ulzef> Mortoks perc is -1
15:55:41 <Mekkis> Mytiazair has no ranks in climb!
15:56:02 <Hydrazine> Its not though. Its just below average.
15:56:22 <Mekkis> should put Slick on his armour
15:56:37 <Mekkis> what's Ulzef's escape artist?
15:57:34 <Ulzef> +4
15:57:58 <Ulzef> i normal crane slap grapples and his CMD is rather good
15:58:14 <Mekkis> ah
15:59:44 <Ulzef> dodge bonuses go on CMD
15:59:52 <Mekkis> fair enough
15:59:58 <Mekkis> but once you're grappled?
16:00:53 <Ulzef> cmb is + 8
16:01:07 <Ulzef> really should get agile manuvers
16:01:18 <Wrothmonk> brb making character
16:01:22 <Mekkis> so it's "hope I haven't pissed off too many of my fellow pathfinders recently"?
16:01:44 <Ulzef> ii have high diable device
16:01:47 <Wrothmonk> Having several pdfs open at once, so blocking out chat.
16:01:54 <Ulzef> disable*
16:02:59 <Mekkis> (for example, if a monster grapples you, and you can't crane style it)
16:03:31 Brunius- has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
16:03:47 <Ulzef> then i have enough PA to get rescued and rezed
16:03:59 <Mekkis> fair enough
16:04:19 <Mekkis> don't you have freedom of movement now anyway?
16:04:39 <Ulzef> nah i was lieing to them
16:04:48 <Mekkis> ah
16:05:22 <Ulzef> he has good bluff as well
16:11:09 <Avatar> yo sup
16:12:45 <Mekkis> wroth's making a summoner
16:13:20 <Mekkis> I'm hoping it won't slow down Wrothmonk's time to achieving 5th level
16:13:39 <Wrothmonk> it kinda will considering I'm not going to play rumil.
16:13:53 <Wrothmonk> Wallace is 2 games away from level 3 so not by much though.
16:14:07 <Mekkis> isn't Rumil 1 game from level 4?
16:14:10 <Wrothmonk> actually he is technically 4 games away from rumil.
16:14:11 <Avatar> what's wrong with rumil
16:14:33 <Wrothmonk> I dumped wis.
16:14:37 <Mekkis> so?
16:14:40 <Avatar> is he a cleric
16:14:47 <Wrothmonk> sorcerer.
16:14:52 <Avatar> sorcerers can dump wis
16:14:57 <Mekkis> not seeing the problem here
16:15:12 <Avatar> str and wis are dump stats for sorcerers
16:15:20 <Wrothmonk> hes a melee sorcerer.
16:15:30 <Avatar> !findchar rumil
16:15:31 <diebot> Avatar, Character: rumil, number: ( http://www.pfrpg.com.au/viewchar.php5?char= )
16:15:34 <Mekkis> as far as your stats are concerned, it seems fine
16:15:45 <Avatar> what's going on mekkis
16:15:51 <Mekkis> !findchar Rumil
16:15:52 <diebot> Mekkis, Character: Rumil, number: ( http://www.pfrpg.com.au/viewchar.php5?char= )
16:16:08 <Avatar> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/viewchar.php5?char=492
16:16:44 <Avatar> that build can still work
16:16:53 <Avatar> it's not optimised
16:16:54 <Wrothmonk> I'm not so sure about it.
16:17:04 <Avatar> only your 14 cha will hurt some
16:17:18 <Avatar> not sure what you were thinking there
16:17:38 <Mekkis> just stick with stuff like scorching ray and other things that don't require saves and you're fine
16:17:41 <Avatar> just means you'll want to get your hands on a +4 headband of cha as soon as you can
16:17:56 <Avatar> it's still very playable
16:18:19 <Wrothmonk> hem… I still don't exactly feel like wanting to play him.
16:18:36 <Wrothmonk> hrm*
16:18:43 <Avatar> well you still have wallace around the same level
16:18:43 <Hydrazine> Eh. Its your call man, but hes not as bad as some other stuff we've seen. And made.
16:19:06 <Wrothmonk> 4 games away. So yeah that is my plan.
16:19:38 <Avatar> you don't want to end up with a lot of characters at level 3 before getting tired of them though
16:20:00 <Wrothmonk> yeah ik
16:20:09 <Avatar> you'll end up being sick of being low level forever and sick of PFS for it
16:20:55 <Hydrazine> I tried to get a high level character once.
16:21:11 <Avatar> only once?
16:21:17 <Avatar> that's where you went wrong I think
16:21:51 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, here's a perspective: as of mid-2012, when you start PFS, you have 53/99 scenarios available to play
16:22:08 <Mekkis> when you hit 3rd, there are another 3 available
16:22:18 <Mekkis> when you hit 5th, another 16 become available
16:22:30 <Mekkis> when you hit 7th, another 22 become available
16:22:32 <Hydrazine> Well, I haven't really been playing much since.
16:22:40 <Wrothmonk> I see.
16:22:41 <Mekkis> and when you hit 12th, 4 more are available
16:23:03 <Mekkis> by delaying your time to hitting 5th, about half of the available scenarios will remain closed to you.
16:23:18 <Wrothmonk> Well I guess since you guys say he's playable I'll give it a try.
16:23:22 <Wrothmonk> if he dies he dies.
16:23:29 <Mekkis> (They'll also remain somewhat closed to the rest of this group, as it's pretty small and we try and accommodate as many players as possible)
16:24:07 Ulzef has quit (Quit: )
16:24:59 <Wrothmonk> quick question. What are good and bad saves on Eidolons?
16:25:07 <Mekkis> depends on base form
16:27:06 <Wrothmonk> I see.
16:27:20 <Mekkis> what base form are you thinking about getting?
16:27:38 <Wrothmonk> serpentine or biped
16:27:51 <Wrothmonk> quadruped*
16:27:55 <Wrothmonk> not biped
16:28:01 <Avatar> or aquatic
16:28:07 <Mekkis> quadruped is reflex and fort
16:28:07 <Avatar> one of those 4
16:28:24 <Wrothmonk> serpentine is ref and will
16:28:37 <Wrothmonk> I'm leaning towards quadruped because of the speed.
16:29:01 <Avatar> the problem I find with summoner is you really want to think about how your entire build is going to be from level 1
16:29:05 <Mekkis> if you take the evolutionist archetype, you have the opportunity to change the base form
16:29:34 <Avatar> what's evolutionist
16:29:35 <Mekkis> I've found that with the summoner you get to change your build every level
16:29:41 <Mekkis> which is more than any other class gets
16:29:54 <Avatar> I haven't heard of changing the base form
16:30:14 <Mekkis> Evolve Base Form (Su)
16:30:14 <Mekkis> Starting at 8th level, whenever he gains a level, the evolutionist can change his eidolon’s base form to a new base form. Once chosen, this base form is set until the evolutionist gains another summoner level.
16:30:14 <Mekkis> This ability replaces transposition.
16:30:24 <Avatar> from 8th level
16:30:26 <Avatar> cmon
16:30:43 <Mekkis> it's significant
16:30:49 <Wrothmonk> interesting.
16:30:51 <Mekkis> 8th level is when you'd WANT to change your base form
16:31:01 <Avatar> not if you don't know what you're building as you go
16:31:22 <Mekkis> there's not that much of a difference between the forms
16:31:53 <Avatar> I think it is significant
16:31:58 <Avatar> some evolutions are only available to certain forms
16:32:08 <Avatar> I'll dig up that list I made
16:32:24 <Wrothmonk> I don't see myself using the things it replaces. But then again I don't know what to expect that high level.
16:32:30 <Avatar> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ant1BdkLaMihdFh2QW5XbGR3SUhEMmZjVC1leHh5dXc#gid=0
16:33:09 <Mekkis> but that's because you're an unrepentant powergamer, Avatar
16:33:29 <Avatar> don't think so
16:33:33 <Avatar> that would be you
16:33:41 <Mekkis> hey! I'm repentant
16:33:52 <Avatar> you are repetant when I make you repent
16:33:58 <Mekkis> you're not
16:34:02 <Wrothmonk> I agree with mekkis.
16:34:09 <Wrothmonk> No offence
16:34:10 <Avatar> why do you agree
16:34:29 <Wrothmonk> because you actually make those kinds of sheets?
16:34:37 <Avatar> give me an example
16:36:22 <Osborn> can anyone tell me where to buy equipment? :(
16:36:41 <Avatar> in the equipment section of the rulebook
16:36:41 <Wrothmonk> from the equipment section in the core rulebook or ultimate combat?
16:36:57 <Wrothmonk> d20 equipment section?
16:37:01 <Osborn> i see
16:37:02 <Osborn> thanks
16:37:21 <Osborn> ive been poking around on the website for the past 15 minutes
16:37:22 <Osborn> hahaha
16:37:31 <Avatar> yell out if you have any questions man
16:37:40 <Avatar> 15 minutes is too long to not ask
16:37:41 <Wrothmonk> And we shall pounce
16:38:07 <Mekkis> Osborn, http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/equipment.html
16:38:22 <Osborn> thanks all haha
16:38:35 <Mekkis> (that's the Official equipment list)
16:39:15 <Wrothmonk> Do summoners cast arcane or divine spells?
16:39:18 <Mekkis> arcane
16:39:22 <Mekkis> spontaneous
16:39:32 <Avatar> that only includes core stuff
16:39:33 <Wrothmonk> interesting...
16:39:44 <Mekkis> Avatar, that's the idea.
16:39:56 <Avatar> that doesn't get books sold
16:40:03 <Mekkis> they basically looked at the spell lists, took all the good spells, reduced the levels of some of them, and added them to the other lists
16:40:13 <Wrothmonk> I could still do dragon disciple with a summoner.
16:40:19 <Avatar> I considered going for a summoner who acts like a wizard
16:40:47 <Avatar> briefly
16:41:26 <Mekkis> Avatar, you said yourself that if someone was starting playing and was forced to buy a bunch of books, they'd probably stop. Better to not encourage that right?
16:41:38 <Wrothmonk> ...
16:42:06 <Avatar> I'm not suggesting anyone should be forced to buy a bunch of books
16:42:22 <Avatar> but if they don't even get to see what's in them, then they wouldn't even ever consider it
16:42:24 <Mekkis> but you are suggesting them to use a bunch of stuff from additional resources
16:42:29 <Wrothmonk> I'd like to point out that when I first got my dad interested in PFS he said, and I quote "I see pathfinder society is continuing the tradition of having you buy tons of books."
16:42:30 <Avatar> yes
16:42:37 <Avatar> that's the only way I bought mine
16:43:05 <Wrothmonk> Now then, back to figuring out race.
16:43:06 <Avatar> and I didn't buy them immediately
16:44:06 <Mekkis> GNOME!
16:44:13 <Wrothmonk> considering that
16:44:25 <Wrothmonk> Aasimar looks good to
16:44:34 <Mekkis> gnome is better
16:44:39 <Mekkis> gnome is always better
16:45:01 <Meltytashes> Are Aasimar open to the general public now?
16:45:09 <Mekkis> they are, but gnomes are better
16:45:11 <Wrothmonk> I do like gnomes, however I'm not sure I want to be punted in pfs...
16:45:28 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, I've played three gnomes, and none of them have been punted
16:45:39 <Wrothmonk> I'm not sure I trust you on that.
16:46:16 <Hydrazine> Fork threw a gnome once.
16:46:22 <Hydrazine> But thats different. He volunteered.
16:46:22 <Mekkis> ok, so you're playing a gnome summoner and someone tries to punt you. You then proceed the glitterdust them and send your dragon to maul them.
16:46:33 <Wrothmonk> ok that sounds fun
16:46:58 <Mekkis> (Itzamna would probably discharge the Rod of Wonder at them multiple times first)
16:47:18 <Wrothmonk> basically you can do Asimar, fetchlings, tengus, and tieflings from the ARG
16:47:25 <Mekkis> not fetchlings
16:47:39 <Mekkis> and the plural of Tengu is Tengu.
16:47:40 <Wrothmonk> oops right
16:47:45 <Wrothmonk> ok
16:47:48 <Wrothmonk> I stand corrected
16:47:53 <Wrothmonk> but not punted corrected.
16:48:47 <Wrothmonk> alright, adding to the fact that rumil the second is the son of rumil, rumil also apparently knocked up a gnome… :P
16:49:05 <Mekkis> !reincarnate wonder
16:49:07 <diebot> Mekkis, Roll: 91: Shimmering colors dance and play over a 40-ft.-by-30-ft. area in front of rod. Creatures therein are blinded for 1d6 rounds (Fortitude DC 15 negates).

16:49:43 <Wrothmonk> cool
16:49:55 <Mekkis> yeah
16:50:04 <Mekkis> and for reincarnate

16:50:58 <diebot> The description is too long to send over IRC. View http://nl.ti4200.info/vpsirc/spells/reincarnate.html
16:52:11 <Wrothmonk> alright, gnome it is!
16:52:18 <Wrothmonk> a somewhat tall gnome...
16:54:17 <Hydrazine> tall gnome?
16:54:25 <Mekkis> yeah
16:54:28 <Mekkis> 3'10"
16:54:35 <Wrothmonk> 4ft 3
16:54:52 <Wrothmonk> Rumil knocked up a gnome and had a son
16:55:14 <Wrothmonk> Rumil is 5 ft 1 so I went for middle ground
16:57:14 <Wrothmonk> What would be the average weight for gnomes?
16:57:45 <Wrothmonk> nvm
16:58:03 <Mekkis> that's very tall for a gnome
16:58:28 <Mekkis> you sure it's not 3'8" with a big turban on top (like Itzamna did with he met Ulzef)
16:59:02 <Avatar> can gnomes get that tall
16:59:16 <Wrothmonk> Well...
16:59:20 <Mekkis> 3'2" to 3'8" seems to be the case
16:59:39 <Wrothmonk> height and weight are purely cosmetic though right?
16:59:55 <Mekkis> except when they matter
17:00:00 <Avatar> 3'0" + 2d4
17:00:29 <Avatar> effectively cosmetic
17:00:30 <Wrothmonk> Anything on half gnomes?
17:00:32 <Mekkis> (Grolschmir weighs 37lb, and always watches his weight - his mount's light load is around 50lb, so it's very important)
17:00:50 <Avatar> for all intents and purposes you're still a small character, still a gnome
17:01:00 <Wrothmonk> oh all right...
17:01:06 <Wrothmonk> Max height and weight then.
17:01:08 <Avatar> you'd be pushing it to say "I'm 5' so I can reach it"
17:01:30 <Avatar> short arms would make up for that kind of thing
17:01:38 <Mekkis> oh, and take the Gnomish Reroll
17:01:50 <Wrothmonk> ?
17:01:53 <Mekkis> APG
17:01:55 <Mekkis> under races
17:02:34 <Mekkis> p14
17:02:40 <Mekkis> Eternal Hope: Gnomes rarely lose hope and are always confident that even hopeless situations will work out.
17:03:06 <Mekkis> Gnomes with this racial trait receive a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against fear and despair effects. Once per day, after rolling a 1 on a d20, the gnome may reroll and use the second result. This racial trait replaces the defensive training and hatred racial traits.
17:03:48 <Mekkis> you lose your bonus to AC vs giants and your bonus to attack vs kobolds and goblins
17:04:22 <Wrothmonk> Sounds good to me. Although I will be looking over other traits.
17:05:49 <Avatar> yeah that one is a no brainer
17:06:23 <Wrothmonk> oh wait a second. I can take that withought losing one of the normal 2 traits right?
17:06:35 <Mekkis> it's not a "trait"
17:06:41 <Mekkis> it's an alternate racial thingy
17:06:53 <Wrothmonk> Right, I think I remember going through that.
17:09:15 <Avatar> alternate racial trait
17:09:31 <Mekkis> I remember Avatar's cheese of claiming that those things were "traits", so he took Adopted (halfelf) to get +2 to an ability of his choice
17:09:37 <Avatar> not to be confused with the two traits you get
17:09:52 <Avatar> nobody knew how traits worked back then man
17:09:59 <Mekkis> I did
17:10:00 <Avatar> everyone asks about adopted
17:10:07 <Mekkis> and I explained it to you
17:10:17 <Mekkis> but you were like "the GM won't know..."
17:10:31 <Avatar> if I said "the GM won't know..." then I was messing with you
17:10:39 <Wrothmonk> The gm should know
17:11:01 <Wrothmonk> according to the PFS guide the GMs should be all knowing about rules.
17:11:05 <Mekkis> the GM in this case was lucianus
17:11:09 <Mekkis> and it wasn't PFS
17:11:23 <Avatar> well in that case I was probably talking about messing with lucianus
17:12:52 <Mekkis> where did Squirrel go?
17:14:14 <Wrothmonk> here, my dog is barking out of the wazoo, at 1:14 am.\
17:16:25 <Mekkis> Avatar, could you make blood inactive for WotW please
17:16:52 <Mekkis> and Teian-Sho
17:20:26 <Avatar> soitanly
17:20:32 <Mekkis> ?
17:20:56 <Avatar> done
17:21:19 <Avatar> is there any limit on the 200gp of items
17:21:23 <Avatar> re outside core
17:21:40 <Wrothmonk> which should I put the racial bonus to, craft or profession?
17:22:05 <Wrothmonk> I'm going to be using perform for my profession since its going to be 18-20
17:22:20 <Wrothmonk> dayjob, not profession
17:24:11 <Avatar> what's your highest out of int/cha/wis
17:24:21 <Mekkis> Academician Some gnomes are more academically inclined than their kin. Gnomes with this racial trait gain a +2 bonus on any single Knowledge skill. This racial trait replaces the obsessive racial trait.
17:24:33 <Avatar> oh, cha
17:24:41 <Wrothmonk> Yeah, obviusly
17:24:48 <Wrothmonk> Although I'm still kinda figuring out stats.
17:24:57 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, why not swap it out for +2 to knowledge?
17:25:15 <Wrothmonk> Good idea. KN local would be a nice touch
17:26:42 <Mekkis> as I said, Gnomes are always better
17:26:53 Ulzef ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
17:26:55 <Wrothmonk> I'm seeing that more and more:P
17:27:02 <Wrothmonk> more :P*
17:27:20 <Ulzef> is there anyway to make a unarmed or archer magus?
17:27:29 <Ulzef> its not a class i have really looked at
17:27:37 <Wrothmonk> ...
17:27:44 <Wrothmonk> Magus; melee sorcerer
17:27:49 <Wrothmonk> unarmed, maybe
17:28:02 <Mekkis> Ulzef, natural weapon perhaps?
17:28:19 <Brunius> I think there's a ranged touch spellstrike that you can do by combining with gunslinger
17:28:38 <Mekkis> I thought there were two types of magi: the ones who used Shocking Grasp and the ones who were ineffective
17:28:49 <Wrothmonk> I thought that was a gunslinger archetype.
17:29:02 <Wrothmonk> ^ Mekkis: this, this, this
17:29:39 <Wrothmonk> ^Mekkis @Ulzef*
17:29:46 <Avatar> I still can't bring myself to make a magus
17:29:46 <Mekkis> it's why I dislike magi
17:30:02 <Wrothmonk> Same here avatar.
17:31:02 <Ulzef> i feel like i should give all classes a go before writing them off
17:31:33 <Wrothmonk> Its not a very effective strategy, you could get the stats all wrong and think: Wow this class is stupid
17:31:47 <Mekkis> Ulzef, that's one approach
17:32:03 <Mekkis> but if I can't stomach a class, I'm not going to try playing it
17:33:12 <Mekkis> like Monk
17:33:36 <Ulzef> i always wrote of barb and i am enjoying mortok
17:33:55 <Wrothmonk> Monks… I wish I could make a cat folk monk just for giggles.
17:34:00 <Mekkis> I enjoyed the last barbarian I wrote
17:34:12 <Mekkis> good old Jasim
17:35:04 <Avatar> yeah there are a lot of classes i've never tried
17:35:13 mrk ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
17:35:23 <Mekkis> I've been meaning to play an Oracle
17:35:43 <Avatar> oracle and inquisitor are on my shortlist
17:35:54 <Avatar> divine though :|
17:36:06 <Mekkis> don't be a mort about divine classes!
17:36:21 <Wrothmonk> Oracle i'm interested in, but I'm terrible at healers.
17:36:22 <Avatar> I had a cleric that turned me off it
17:36:52 <Avatar> you don't really need to be a healer if you try not to be
17:36:58 <Avatar> they make good healers, but they're not only healers
17:37:06 <Wrothmonk> Then again my CLW wand going down 9 charges and everyone surviving except for a CDG surviving is testate against that.
17:37:25 <Mekkis> if you're playing a healer, you still need to know what to do when you're not healing
17:37:32 <Mekkis> that's Kernigahn's current issue
17:37:45 <Mekkis> there's no point casting Bless while he's got the flag out
17:38:01 <mrk> hey again guys;)
17:38:05 <Wrothmonk> Hello
17:38:11 <Mekkis> almost want to take a level of bard so he can help the party even more while still delaying all the time
17:38:28 <Hydrazine> There is an archetype rather specifically to do ranged attacks with magus stuff.
17:38:39 <Wrothmonk> Seriusly?
17:38:49 <Wrothmonk> …Misnomer archetype ftw!
17:38:59 <Hydrazine> And I don't see why it wouldn't work with unarmed if you had IUS.
17:39:02 <Hydrazine> Its a melee weapon.
17:39:20 <Hydrazine> Hell, should be even easier. Its already legal to deliver touch spells via punch.
17:39:22 <Avatar> sup mrk
17:40:10 <Wrothmonk> Really?
17:40:15 <Wrothmonk> I did not know that.
17:40:17 <Hydrazine> Yeah, Why not?
17:40:29 <Wrothmonk> Another reason why I could do better with rumil...
17:40:41 <Wrothmonk> :P
17:41:04 <Hydrazine> Its why a cleric/monk is on my long list of things that sound cool but I probably won't actually get around to.
17:41:15 <Hydrazine> inflict wounds+stunning fists yo.
17:41:15 <Mekkis> druid/monk?
17:41:20 <mrk> hey avatar:) just reviewing the pathfinder pdf..lol
17:41:44 <Hydrazine> do druids get much touch attack spells?
17:41:57 <Mekkis> they get Produce Flame
17:42:29 <mrk> mmm, fire:)
17:42:32 <Wrothmonk> I've been wondering… Theres a cantrip for igniting stuff right?
17:42:38 <Hydrazine> yes.
17:42:46 <Hydrazine> You can't just light your enemies on fire.
17:42:56 <Mekkis> !spell spark
17:42:57 <diebot> Mekkis, SPARK evocation ([fire]) bard 0, cleric 0, druid 0, sorcerer/wizard 0, witch 0, magus 0 1 standard action Range: close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) one Fine object Comp: V or S Duration: instantaneous Save: Fortitude negates (object) SR:yes (object)
17:42:58 <diebot> You can make an unattended Fine flammable object catch on fire. This works as if you were using flint and steel except that you can use spark in any sort of weather and it takes much less time to actually ignite an object.
17:42:59 <Wrothmonk> No, not thinking that.
17:43:05 <mrk> thats right. i used to try that lol
17:43:11 <mrk> well, on people
17:43:34 <Wrothmonk> Is there some sort of flammable substance you could say… coat your fist with?
17:43:51 <mrk> oil?
17:43:52 <Hydrazine> Only if you feel like burning yourself.
17:43:53 <Mekkis> you mean like oil?
17:43:58 <Wrothmonk> Yes.
17:44:02 <Mekkis> tiefling?
17:44:05 <Hydrazine> alchemist's fire too perhaps.
17:44:09 <Wrothmonk> Coat your fist, set it on fire, and punch.
17:44:13 <Avatar> it would hurt
17:44:19 <Avatar> you
17:44:19 <Wrothmonk> Would it hurt your enemy?
17:44:26 <Hydrazine> The fire would hurt you just as much if not more than the other guy.
17:44:28 <mrk> what about gauntlets wrapped in oiled cloth?
17:44:30 <Avatar> probably not in the way you're thinking
17:44:40 <Avatar> that kind of thing might add 1 fire damage
17:44:43 <Hydrazine> How about for an experiment.
17:44:44 <Avatar> and do 1d6 to you
17:44:47 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, try punching a candle
17:44:50 <mrk> lol
17:44:53 <Wrothmonk> XD
17:44:56 <Mekkis> it doesn't actually hurt much
17:45:00 <Wrothmonk> What about mrk's idea.
17:45:13 <Avatar> emphasis on might
17:45:14 <Hydrazine> You put a pan on the stove. Let it get hot. Then hold it flat on your hand, and punch the inside quickly with the other hand.
17:45:18 <Hydrazine> See which one hurts more.
17:45:36 <Mekkis> why not hold a flask of burning oil and glass them with it?
17:45:48 <Brunius> Why not molotov them?
17:46:00 <Mekkis> because fire doesn't really do much damage
17:46:01 <Hydrazine> Why not Zoidberg?
17:46:09 <Hydrazine> But lava does.
17:46:14 <Wrothmonk> Why not molotov zoidburg?
17:46:14 <Hydrazine> If you can manage to get some lava.
17:46:16 <mrk> i love molotovs
17:46:58 <mrk> quick question guys. which dice setup are we using for character startup?
17:47:07 <Wrothmonk> None, point buy
17:47:20 <mrk> ok, cool:)
17:47:37 <mrk> and start at level 1 i presume?
17:47:46 <Wrothmonk> I wanted to falcon punch somebody… Guess wouldn't do much.
17:48:01 <Wrothmonk> beyond hurting me :P
17:48:03 <Avatar> mrk: do you have the pathfinder society guide to organised play
17:48:14 <Avatar> that has all the character creation rules you need to know, including about dice rolling
17:48:38 <Avatar> http://paizo.com/products/btpy84k4
17:48:43 <niconorsk> Hmm, sorcerer/monk shocking grasp stunning fist
17:48:44 <Avatar> it's free, click on add to cart and check out
17:48:45 <Hydrazine> I think the best way to achieve the falcon punch is an unarmed magus.
17:48:50 <mrk> its not the core reference guide?
17:49:58 <Wrothmonk> Hrm… yeah
17:50:31 <Wrothmonk> All of my plans for giggles never work out well do they?
17:51:09 <Hydrazine> I saw a class in a d20 future book once that was exactly the space marine I was looking for.
17:51:11 <Hydrazine> Mind was blown.
17:51:41 <Wrothmonk> alright, stats of 10, 15, 12, 10, 10, 18 with mods, I got 1 point left to spend
17:51:48 <Wrothmonk> No clue what to spend it on.
17:52:12 <Hydrazine> drop something to 9 and have another 12.
17:52:49 <Wrothmonk> I don't see anything I could drop...
17:53:21 <Wrothmonk> base stats are 12, 15, 10, 10, 10, 16
17:53:38 <Wrothmonk> I don't want to drop con int or wis
17:54:12 <Hydrazine> This is for a what? Summoner?
17:54:17 <Wrothmonk> Yeah
17:54:21 <Wrothmonk> wait, leme check the skills
17:54:27 <Avatar> don't take 10 con
17:54:42 <Avatar> 12 is the bare minimum you want
17:54:46 <Avatar> ideally 14
17:54:53 <Wrothmonk> I get a +2 for being a gnome.
17:54:56 <Hydrazine> Isn't low con the quickest way to dead?
17:55:01 <Avatar> sure is
17:55:19 <Wrothmonk> I'll boost it up to 11 then.
17:55:30 <Wrothmonk> 13 total with racial...
17:55:41 <Avatar> you can keep it at 12
17:55:49 <Avatar> if it's 13 you can boost it at 4th or 8th level though
17:55:59 <Wrothmonk> Yeah kinda want that.
17:56:20 <Hydrazine> I'm a bit sad that magi are so one-trick. I mean it looks cool, sounds cool.. And then you realize there just isn't rreally anything else.
17:56:41 <Wrothmonk> Yup thats why i can't get around to making one.
17:57:06 <Wrothmonk> alright, end stats are 10, 15, 13, 10, 10, 18
17:58:46 <Avatar> solid
17:59:12 <mrk> 18 charis?
17:59:25 <Wrothmonk> summoner, spells are CHA based
17:59:35 <Wrothmonk> not cha cha based like bards.
17:59:41 <mrk> ah of course. lol im really rusty;)
17:59:43 <Wrothmonk> ohgodthatsoundedbetterinmyhead.
18:00:14 * mrk laughs sympathetically
18:01:25 <Ulzef> the classes i have sorta gone meh to are magus, inq, ranger, witch, gunslinger, sam, ninja.
18:01:36 <Ulzef> well there the classes i havn't played at all
18:01:40 <Wrothmonk> ranger is always meh
18:01:55 <Wrothmonk> its the meh class of all dnd
18:01:59 <Ulzef> pre agile they made the best two wep fighters
18:02:01 <Hydrazine> I think ranger's one of the best intro classes. Its like the variety pack.
18:02:11 <Wrothmonk> Thats why I play them a lot :P
18:02:22 <Hydrazine> And the obvious builds are really linear and hard to screw up too bad.
18:02:24 <Wrothmonk> Very true hydra.
18:02:30 <mrk> im tempted by a dwarf monk with a level ofrogue
18:02:40 <Wrothmonk> I managed to screw up my first pas ranger.
18:02:43 <Wrothmonk> pfs*
18:02:57 <Hydrazine> I mean, you get melee options, ranged options, some spellcasting, a companion..
18:03:02 <Hydrazine> A little taste of everything.
18:03:16 <Wrothmonk> Yup
18:03:22 <Wrothmonk> except for the really obscure stuff like guns
18:03:32 <Osborn> hey guys
18:03:47 <Wrothmonk> Yeah?
18:03:54 <Osborn> i dont start off with any skill points right?
18:04:02 <Wrothmonk> …
18:04:17 <Wrothmonk> I really need to keep remembering your really new.
18:04:43 <Osborn> hahaha
18:04:56 <Osborn> sooo do i?
18:05:07 <Wrothmonk> So answer is no, you start out with your norm ranks which is 2+int for wizard
18:05:50 <Osborn> i see
18:05:51 <Osborn> thank you
18:05:59 <Hydrazine> You start off with 2+int skill points. Remember that you can't spend >your level in a skill.
18:06:27 <Hydrazine> Skill ranks cannot be higher than total level. And theres a +3 bonus for class skills
18:06:42 <Hydrazine> And with that, me and Tash are going for a walk. Later kids.
18:09:02 <mrk> cya hydra
18:09:14 <Osborn> hey as a wizard do i get a free quarterstaff
18:09:17 <Osborn> because the cost is blanked out haha
18:12:41 <Wrothmonk> Cost is blanked out means its always free
18:12:45 <Wrothmonk> you start with 100 gold btw
18:12:46 Hydrazine has quit (Ping timeout: 181 seconds)
18:13:44 <mrk> and at level 1?
18:14:01 <Ulzef> 150 wroth
18:14:08 <Wrothmonk> no, 100
18:14:13 <Ulzef> if its pfs its 150
18:14:13 <Wrothmonk> or has that changed?
18:14:30 <Osborn> sweet
18:14:44 <Osborn> does that mean i can get one of each free weapon
18:14:47 <Osborn> or can i only take one
18:14:47 <Osborn> haha
18:15:04 <Wrothmonk> You can take as many as you want. Effectively the quarterstaff is a branch
18:15:18 <Wrothmonk> all costs blanked out = free
18:15:19 <Ulzef> you can take 50 quarter staffs if you want i dont recommend it though
18:15:25 <Wrothmonk> Heavy
18:15:34 <Osborn> haha
18:15:35 <Osborn> i mean like
18:15:36 <Osborn> can i take
18:15:41 <Osborn> one quarterstaff, one club, etc?
18:15:45 <Wrothmonk> Yup
18:15:45 <Ulzef> yep
18:15:51 <Wrothmonk> 50 of every free items
18:16:06 <Wrothmonk> you'd be pretty slow, but /very/ hard to disarm
18:16:09 Forevernade ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
18:16:13 <Wrothmonk> unless somebody happens to set you on fire...
18:16:31 <mrk> prepacked kindling
18:16:36 <Osborn> sweet haha
18:16:37 <Wrothmonk> Yup
18:17:01 <Wrothmonk> alright, putting my two measly ranks in kn local and perception for my summoner.
18:17:05 ForevernadeAFK ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
18:17:13 <Osborn> it says here
18:17:14 <Osborn> http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/equipment.html
18:17:19 <Osborn> that i only start with 70 gold on average?
18:17:20 <Osborn> haha
18:17:24 <Osborn> as a wizard
18:17:44 <Wrothmonk> its 150 for everyone. I probably should add 50 gold to each of my chars then.
18:18:26 <Osborn> hahaha okay
18:18:37 <Osborn> i can only buy weapons and armor at the start
18:18:40 <Osborn> no magic rings or the like? D:
18:18:46 <Wrothmonk> Wait no, I did get 150 gold for wallace. I remember having a chain vest and a weapon.
18:18:56 <Wrothmonk> No magic items unless you have em on a chronicle sheet
18:19:16 <Osborn> dang alright
18:19:26 <Osborn> i cant use any of these weapons though!!! or armor :(
18:19:36 <Wrothmonk> morrningstar
18:19:43 <Wrothmonk> wizards can use morningstars I think
18:19:53 <Wrothmonk> if its the same as sorcerers
18:20:04 <Avatar> yeah, all simple weapons
18:20:05 <Wrothmonk> I just realised...
18:20:14 <Wrothmonk> I got 6 on stealth with ought ranks
18:21:03 <Wrothmonk> stiletto should have done a gnome rouge
18:21:09 <Wrothmonk> rogue*
18:21:30 <Wrothmonk> he'd be invisible :P
18:21:38 <Osborn> oh really
18:21:39 <Osborn> damnn
18:21:40 <Osborn> thanks
18:21:41 <Ulzef> halflings get dex so they are better than gnome
18:22:09 <Ulzef> you can also have them with 30ft move so they can get flanks easy still
18:22:10 ForevernadeAFK has quit (Connection closed)
18:22:16 <Wrothmonk> hem nice..
18:22:16 <Osborn> are crossbows any good? i remember someone earlier bagging them out!
18:22:30 <mrk> think reload issues
18:22:33 <Wrothmonk> crossbows are terrible if your casting spells.
18:22:37 <Wrothmonk> reloading is pain
18:22:44 <Wrothmonk> I don't think they are simple eitther.
18:22:46 <Osborn> ah ok...
18:22:48 <Wrothmonk> not certain
18:22:53 <Osborn> im reading off this table haha
18:23:08 <Osborn> hey so i can buy a morningstar...but i cant use armor or shields right?
18:23:15 <Osborn> so do i just hold onto the cash or can i buy a horse or something
18:23:16 <Osborn> haha
18:23:25 <Wrothmonk> you could get light armor proficiency and a haramaki
18:23:41 <Wrothmonk> no spell failure chance and I think +2 armor
18:23:44 <Wrothmonk> or is it +1?
18:23:49 <Osborn> oh?
18:23:52 <Osborn> how do i get the proficiency?
18:23:56 <Wrothmonk> feat
18:24:45 <Osborn> ah okay
18:25:16 <Osborn> how many feats do i get at level 1?
18:25:26 <Wrothmonk> one, unless your human or half elf
18:25:29 <Wrothmonk> then two
18:25:35 <Osborn> ah sweet
18:25:39 <Osborn> and i get an extra one every level?
18:25:44 <Wrothmonk> no
18:25:51 <Wrothmonk> its let me see here...
18:26:18 <Osborn> i kind of want that spell mastery feat though haha
18:26:42 <Osborn> oh wait
18:26:45 <Osborn> do i get that automatically?
18:26:47 <Osborn> let me read up on it
18:26:51 <Wrothmonk> its the normal character advancement after that except for the wizard feats which come in at level 4 I think. So one feat every other level
18:26:57 <Avatar> you don't
18:27:04 <Osborn> ah okay
18:27:05 <Osborn> and oh
18:27:07 <Avatar> you can get it as a 5th/10th/15th/20th level feat
18:27:13 <Avatar> but honestly, you'll likely never use it
18:27:15 <Wrothmonk> thats the wizard feats
18:27:30 <Osborn> oh okay
18:27:31 <Wrothmonk> so next feat is at 3rd
18:27:40 <Avatar> half elves don't get two feats at level 1
18:27:46 <Wrothmonk> They dont?
18:27:51 <Avatar> no, only humans
18:28:05 <Avatar> I think you're getting confused with the +2 bonus to any one ability score
18:28:08 <Avatar> that they both get
18:28:12 <Wrothmonk> Yeah thats it
18:28:41 <Osborn> oh im a human
18:28:42 <Osborn> so i get 2 feats
18:28:47 <Wrothmonk> yes
18:28:51 <Wrothmonk> two feats level one
18:28:54 <Wrothmonk> the normal and a bonus
18:28:57 <Avatar> humans rule !
18:29:06 <Wrothmonk> Gnomes get punted!
18:29:08 <Osborn> yaay! :D
18:29:14 <Ulzef> i think you are better of just mage armoring but thats just me
18:29:21 <Wrothmonk> except I like the multi stat bonuses...
18:29:30 <Osborn> just getting light armor proficiency?
18:29:31 <Osborn> haha
18:30:05 <Avatar> mage armor is the common choice of armor for wizards and sorcerers
18:30:16 <Wrothmonk> Yup
18:30:18 <Wrothmonk> or force shield
18:30:26 <Wrothmonk> I think thats what its called..
18:30:31 <Wrothmonk> blocs magic missiles :D
18:30:33 <Avatar> shield is only rounds/level
18:30:34 <Wrothmonk> blocks*
18:30:36 <Ulzef> can have both
18:30:39 <Avatar> mage armor is hours/level
18:30:47 <Wrothmonk> yeah thats the downside
18:30:53 <Wrothmonk> do they stack though?
18:30:54 <Osborn> what
18:30:57 <Avatar> they do stack
18:30:57 <Osborn> so is mage armor the name of a feat?
18:31:02 <Avatar> mage armor is a spell
18:31:02 <Wrothmonk> no
18:31:05 <Wrothmonk> spell
18:31:06 <Avatar> 1st level spell
18:31:06 <Ulzef> its a spell
18:31:07 <Osborn> oh
18:31:10 <Ulzef> lvl 1 spell
18:31:19 <Osborn> hmmm
18:31:25 <Wrothmonk> my god we are predators for questions...
18:31:27 <Osborn> i think mi just going to pick up two metamagic feats
18:31:28 <Osborn> haha
18:31:39 <Osborn> its good! new people need the help
18:31:41 <Avatar> you can get a haramaki without light armor proficiency
18:31:48 <Wrothmonk> You can?
18:31:49 <Wrothmonk> cool
18:32:02 <Wrothmonk> haramakis rock then!
18:32:08 <Wrothmonk> eel… more like paper....
18:32:13 <Wrothmonk> well*
18:32:26 <Avatar> if you don't have the armor proficiency, you take the armor check penalty to attack rolls I think?
18:32:31 Osborn has quit (Quit: )
18:32:33 <Avatar> but the haramaki doesn't have an armor check penalty
18:33:33 <Avatar> it does mean when you cast mage armor it only gives you +3 more to your AC instead of +4, but that's still good
18:33:48 Osborn ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
18:34:43 <Avatar> yeah the haramaki is a pretty sweet piece of equipment
18:34:55 <Wrothmonk> I'm assuming my eidolon should go under companion right?
18:35:06 <Avatar> yeah
18:37:15 <Osborn> the haramaki isnt showing up on the equipment site you linked me
18:37:16 <Osborn> haha
18:37:22 <Osborn> http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/equipment.html
18:37:32 <Wrothmonk> its in ultimate combat so no.
18:37:38 <Wrothmonk> it doesnt
18:38:07 <Avatar> hang on
18:38:41 <Avatar> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment---final/armor
18:38:49 <Avatar> er, oops
18:39:01 <Avatar> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment---final/armor/eastern-armor-and-shields
18:39:19 <Osborn> haha
18:39:22 <Osborn> expansions
18:39:31 <Osborn> as if this game wasnt complicated enough @_@
18:39:44 <Avatar> you can stick to not wearing armor or using other light armor
18:40:30 <Osborn> the haramaki looks great though!!!
18:40:30 <Osborn> btw
18:40:38 <Osborn> when it says size, is that weight?
18:40:43 <Wrothmonk> no
18:40:50 <Wrothmonk> size as in you character size
18:40:53 <Wrothmonk> so medium for human
18:40:57 <Wrothmonk> same goes for weapons
18:41:04 <Osborn> ah kk that makes sense
18:41:16 <Wrothmonk> theres penalties for not using the proper sized stuff
18:41:36 <Brunius> Although it can be worth it, sometimes
18:41:51 <Avatar> it's worth it if you're crazy
18:42:40 <Brunius> If you've got attack bonus out the ass, it could be worth it for the damage bonus
18:42:40 <Osborn> hahaha
18:42:44 <Brunius> (See: Small characters)
18:43:11 <Avatar> it's a -4 penalty isn't it
18:43:26 <Wrothmonk> gnome carrying around a medium longsword...
18:43:35 <Avatar> assuming you're proficient
18:43:38 <Avatar> assuming no cover
18:43:44 <Wrothmonk> orc using a small knife as a toothpick...
18:43:46 <Avatar> what else could go wrong
18:43:56 <Wrothmonk> I love that sort of thing.
18:44:18 <Avatar> it might be half-decent if you find a good weapon along the way
18:44:28 <Avatar> and it's oversized, and you're proficient, and there's no cover
18:44:51 <Avatar> then a -4 penalty to everything maybe might be worth it
18:45:41 <Wrothmonk> so my eidolon has a HD of 1d10, whats his hp?
18:46:43 <Avatar> 10+con
18:47:48 <Wrothmonk> KK
18:49:42 <Avatar> 6+con for each level after 1st
18:50:44 <Wrothmonk> what would be the combat maneuvers?
18:51:03 <Wrothmonk> wait duh..
18:51:07 <Wrothmonk> normal stats
18:55:11 <Wrothmonk> ok it says under skills that the eidolon gts 6+ its int, but the table says its 4 skill ranks, which is it?
18:55:45 <Wrothmonk> oh wait nvm
19:00:10 <Wrothmonk> Can I ride my eidolon?
19:00:19 <Wrothmonk> being a small gnome and all?
19:00:21 <Avatar> yeah
19:00:25 <Wrothmonk> Awsome!!!!
19:00:28 <Avatar> if it's a quadruped and has the
19:00:36 <Avatar> mount evolution
19:00:39 <Wrothmonk> oh
19:00:48 <Avatar> or serpentine
19:00:54 <Wrothmonk> well its a quadruped
19:04:25 <Wrothmonk> so say I had the mount and flight evolution, I could fly around on my edilon?
19:04:46 <Wrothmonk> I'd have to be level five though...
19:07:21 <Avatar> yeah
19:09:19 <Osborn> hey
19:09:23 <Wrothmonk> Hi
19:09:27 <Osborn> in the character sheet
19:09:27 <Wrothmonk> Question?
19:09:30 <Osborn> yeah haha
19:09:32 <Osborn> when i click check
19:09:37 <Osborn> it says i have six ranks available for assignemtn
19:09:39 <Osborn> are those skill ranks?
19:09:55 <Wrothmonk> that checks how many ranks you have against how many ranks you put down on the # of ranks you can do
19:10:01 <Wrothmonk> skill ranks yes
19:10:07 <Osborn> ah okay
19:10:09 <Osborn> so i get to pick
19:10:13 <Osborn> how does the class skill ranks work
19:10:18 <Osborn> do i just get +3 automatically
19:10:21 <Osborn> even if i dont put ranks in?
19:10:25 <Wrothmonk> when you put a rank in it
19:10:27 <Wrothmonk> only
19:11:10 <Osborn> ah okay
19:11:11 <Osborn> good to know
19:11:12 <Osborn> thanks
19:11:12 <Osborn> haha
19:11:38 <Avatar> a good trick
19:11:42 <mrk> is first level hp at max die roll?
19:11:47 <Wrothmonk> yes
19:11:50 <Avatar> put a rank in a skill that you already have super high
19:11:52 <Wrothmonk> its defined on the pas guide
19:11:59 <Avatar> so if you have say, an 18 cha
19:12:01 <Wrothmonk> pfs*
19:12:05 <Avatar> and diplomacy is a class skill
19:12:06 <mrk> thanks
19:12:09 <Avatar> put a rank in that
19:12:21 <Avatar> then you will have like 9 to diplomacy at level 1
19:16:33 <Wrothmonk> ok what does primary and secondary attacks mean of edolons?
19:17:39 <niconorsk> Similar to main and offhand
19:17:52 <niconorsk> secondary attacks at BAB-5
19:18:33 <Osborn> haha
19:18:37 <Avatar> just think -5 penalty to secondary attacks
19:18:42 <Avatar> nothing else really applies
19:18:55 <Wrothmonk> I see so normal natural attack rules?
19:20:09 <niconorsk> I assume, so also 1/2 strength bonus for secondary attacks
19:20:25 <niconorsk> damage rolls that is
19:20:34 <Avatar> not sure about that
19:20:35 <Wrothmonk> so I have the bite evolution by default, I can take two claw evolutions for both my default limb evolutions, so I could do 5 attacks total
19:20:40 <Wrothmonk> with a full round
19:21:45 <Wrothmonk> correct?
19:22:22 <Wrothmonk> bite and four claw attacks for all four limbs?
19:22:41 <niconorsk> I think so. Not an expert on summoners
19:22:49 <Wrothmonk> that is cool...
19:23:21 <Avatar> what are you taking
19:23:27 <Avatar> with your 3 evolution points
19:23:30 <Wrothmonk> I'm still deciding.
19:23:44 <Wrothmonk> probably two claw evolutions...
19:23:55 <Avatar> yeah that would be 5 attacks
19:24:02 * Wrothmonk fist pump
19:24:44 <niconorsk> Take that and pounce and your eidolon will do lots of damage at 1st level. Probably squishy as all hell though
19:25:38 <Wrothmonk> 14 ac atm
19:25:47 <Wrothmonk> I don't see how I would increase his armor though
19:26:08 <Avatar> oh wait
19:26:12 <Avatar> claws can only apply to limbs (legs) once
19:26:13 Ballig1 ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
19:26:13 Ballig has quit (austnet.org!NickOP (Kill requested by Ballig1))
19:26:15 Ballig1 is now known as Ballig
19:26:21 <Avatar> so that's 3 attacks
19:26:28 <Wrothmonk> Claws (Ex): An eidolon has a pair of vicious claws at the end of its limbs, giving it two claw attacks. These attacks are primary attacks. The claws deal 1d4 points of damage (1d6 if Large, 1d8 if Huge). The eidolon must have the limbs evolution to take this evolution. This evolution can only be applied to the limbs (legs) evolution once This evolution can be selected more than once, but the eidolon must possess an equal number of the limbs
19:26:29 <Wrothmonk> evolution.
19:26:46 <Wrothmonk> selected more than once
19:26:56 <Wrothmonk> can only be applied to a single limb evolution
19:26:57 <Avatar> yeah, to limbs (arms)
19:27:08 <Wrothmonk> oh
19:27:28 <Wrothmonk> so is there any way to increase the AC of my edolon?
19:27:42 <Wrothmonk> improved natural armor can only be at level 5
19:27:48 <niconorsk> Take mage armor and shield as your 1st spells
19:27:55 <Wrothmonk> oh right...
19:28:01 <Wrothmonk> good idea.
19:28:26 <Wrothmonk> wait
19:28:29 <Mekkis> I'd recommend against shield
19:28:32 <Wrothmonk> claws and pincers?
19:28:37 <Avatar> it can be taken at level 1, but not again until level 6
19:28:41 <Wrothmonk> wait no needs arms
19:28:51 <Wrothmonk> This evolution can be taken once for every five levels the summoner possesses.
19:28:53 <Mekkis> it can be taken at 5ish
19:29:02 dicebot has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
19:29:04 <Avatar> once within the first 5 levels
19:29:04 <Wrothmonk> quote from improved natural armor
19:29:06 <Mekkis> 1, 5, 10, 15, 20
19:29:09 <Avatar> again within the second five levels
19:29:17 <Wrothmonk> every five levels
19:29:33 <Wrothmonk> that means 5 10 15 20
19:29:36 <Wrothmonk> right?
19:29:53 <Mekkis> I believe there was a rules clarification
19:30:15 <Avatar> other evolutions that have a level requirement like that read like this: The summoner must be at least 5th level before selecting
19:30:16 <Avatar> this evolution.
19:30:28 <niconorsk> What's wrong with shield, Mekkis?
19:30:33 dicebot ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
19:30:49 <Avatar> mage armor is almost always better
19:30:57 <Avatar> hours/level instead of rounds/level
19:31:10 <niconorsk> They stack. Use both
19:31:10 <Wrothmonk> alright first evolution is definitely claws
19:31:11 <Avatar> and shield burns your spell slots pretty drastically
19:31:19 <Mekkis> niconorsk: it doesn't last very long, it wastes actions in combat, and it burns spell slots
19:31:43 <Wrothmonk> improved nature armor for second
19:31:47 <Avatar> it's good if you plan on being the party's tank
19:31:59 <Osborn> anyone want to recommend me some spells?
19:32:07 <Avatar> what's on your shortlist
19:32:12 <Osborn> im specialising in abjuration and discarded divination and
19:32:28 <Osborn> necromancy
19:32:35 <Avatar> what's on your shortlist for spell choices
19:32:38 <Osborn> i dont have one ;_;
19:32:42 <Avatar> make one
19:32:48 <Mekkis> if you instead use your spell slot to cast Enlarge Person on the fighter, or colour spray on the enemies, or whatever, it'll prevent you taking more damage because the enemies will be dead
19:32:54 <Osborn> how many spells can i have
19:32:55 <niconorsk> It lasts for the encounter, one action to keep you from getting hit doesn't seem like much a waste and get a wand. :P
19:33:10 <Avatar> you're a wizard?
19:33:11 <Mekkis> Osborne: 3 + int mod
19:33:13 <Avatar> what's your int
19:33:48 <Wrothmonk> Should I take pounce or improved damage as my last evolution?
19:34:01 <Mekkis> niconorsk: it doesn't keep you from getting hit...
19:34:22 <Osborn> oh thanks
19:34:26 <Osborn> yes im a wizard :D
19:34:31 <Osborn> 18 int atm
19:34:32 <Mekkis> at best it makes you 20 percent less likely
19:34:37 <niconorsk> I know its not guaranteed, but nor does color spray always work
19:34:40 <Wrothmonk> I'll take pounce...
19:34:49 <Mekkis> Osborne: I'd suggest 17 or 19 int
19:35:17 <Mekkis> (you get a free +1 at level 4)
19:35:34 <Osborn> oh
19:35:39 <Osborn> okay
19:35:49 <niconorsk> Not saying color spray is a bad spell, its awesome, but shield has its moments. Great for ghosts for example
19:35:51 <Mekkis> (which is when you really benefit from having a high int)
19:36:33 <Osborn> haha
19:36:34 <Osborn> okay
19:36:41 <Mekkis> niconorsk: it's good in the obscure moment when you're up against a lot of people casting magic missile...
19:36:53 <Mekkis> otherwise, it's a waste of time
19:37:35 <Wrothmonk> I have a feat and 3 more skill ranks for my edolon, any suggestions? I'm thinking power attack possibly for the feat.
19:37:46 <Osborn> poured another 3 points into con :D
19:37:46 <Mekkis> (I suppose it'd be good if you've pissed off the rest of the party by wasting actions such that they refuse to heal you)
19:38:05 <Wrothmonk> the first rank is in perception already
19:38:10 <Mekkis> Power Attack is never bas
19:38:14 <Mekkis> bad*
19:38:28 <Osborn> what does SAVE DC mean on my spells box?
19:38:49 <Wrothmonk> the dc the enemy needs to make on a will save to negate a spell
19:38:54 <Mekkis> the number the enemy needs to roll to be unaffected
19:39:05 <Wrothmonk> for wizard its 10+spell level+cha
19:39:07 <Wrothmonk> I think
19:39:10 <Mekkis> or less affected
19:39:15 <Brunius> +int, not cha
19:39:15 <Mekkis> int
19:39:18 <Brunius> cha is sorcs
19:39:22 <Wrothmonk> Ah ok
19:39:23 <Brunius> it's +spellcasting stat
19:39:35 <Ulzef> i have been having arguments with my IRL group about power attack
19:39:42 <Wrothmonk> how so?
19:39:52 <Ulzef> they dont prioratize it and i am like its soooooo good
19:39:59 <Osborn> oh okay
19:39:59 <Osborn> thanks
19:40:00 <Wrothmonk> Ah
19:40:18 <Osborn> +int mod yeah? not just plain int? haha
19:40:27 <Wrothmonk> oh I just realized what the melee attack would be with power attack...
19:40:27 <Mekkis> a melee character needs one feat to be effective: Power Attack
19:40:32 <Wrothmonk> +2
19:40:46 <Wrothmonk> +3 withought...
19:41:52 <Wrothmonk> hrm….
19:41:59 <S711> Programmers.
19:42:00 <Wrothmonk> I really don't know about that...
19:42:05 <niconorsk> mekkis: I guess we'll have to disagree then, but my wand of shield has saved my life often enough that I'm not going to stop using it
19:42:08 <Wrothmonk> ?
19:42:52 <Mekkis> niconorsk: sure, just don't expect me to prioritise healing a character who does that
19:44:28 <Mekkis> Wroth: ranks in Fly, Intimidate, and... knowledge: arcana?
19:44:42 <Wrothmonk> I see the fly, and intimidate.
19:44:46 <Osborn> how often can i use my exceptional/supernatural abilities?
19:44:49 <Wrothmonk> why arcana?
19:44:52 <Mekkis> if you're going for dragonlike
19:46:03 <Mekkis> may as well know stuff about dragons...
19:46:16 <Wrothmonk> well this is for my edolon
19:46:21 <Wrothmonk> not my char
19:46:37 <Mekkis> the eidolon's dragonlike right?
19:46:51 <Wrothmonk> Thats the plan
19:46:59 <Osborn> im off for the night
19:46:59 <Osborn> bye all
19:47:05 <Osborn> going to read the manual tomorrow
19:47:05 <Wrothmonk> although not looking much like one right now.
19:47:07 <Mekkis> and you'd expect a dragon to know about dragons
19:47:08 Osborn has quit (Quit: )
19:47:10 <Wrothmonk> missing tail and wings
19:47:14 <Wrothmonk> ok good point.
19:47:42 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk: can always say it's got vestigial wings
19:47:53 <Wrothmonk> Ah, thanks
19:48:06 <Wrothmonk> small tail that provide no benefit as well
19:48:19 <Wrothmonk> provides*
19:48:22 <Mekkis> also: write a general description of it on your sheet
19:48:36 <Wrothmonk> I am
19:52:47 <niconorsk> Before I let this go, I'll describe the quite regular situation when I use my wand of shield. Party's just stepped in to a room, there's a surprise round, I'm a diviner but failed the perception check to spot the enemy. I have one standard or move action. What do I do instead?
19:53:05 <Wrothmonk> shield?
19:53:28 <niconorsk> That's what I normally do, but I'm looking for better options
19:55:01 <Wrothmonk> What dimension would a medium dragon have on average? length and height wise?
19:56:29 <Wrothmonk> I would guess around 5 ft length and 3-4 ft height standing on all four legs?
19:56:50 <Avatar> if you fail the perception check for a surprise round, you don't participate in the surprise round
19:57:19 <niconorsk> I'm a diviner wizard, I always participate in the surprise round if there is one.
19:57:24 <Ulzef> mek who was the guy with long hair that came to unicon (i think) last year that used to game with you guys was playing a deaf heal bot oracle
19:57:26 <Avatar> oh
19:57:59 <Avatar> don't worry about mekkis' I won't heal you threat, nobody else i know has that kind of mentality
19:59:23 <niconorsk> :p I'm not worried about that. I try to avoid being the one hit, and I assume he's not taking it as far as not poking me with my own CLW wand
19:59:52 <Wrothmonk> I whack people with my CLW wand
19:59:59 <Wrothmonk> if they don't have one of their own.
20:00:16 <Wrothmonk> Not enough to do damage, but still, its a good whack.
20:00:24 <Ulzef> mortok got one when he lvled and also cc oracle so he can cast sure light
20:00:38 <Mekkis> niconorsk: what level is that character?
20:00:54 <niconorsk> 3
20:01:07 <niconorsk> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/viewchar.php5?char=556
20:01:10 <Mekkis> wizard?
20:01:42 <niconorsk> yeah, divination subschool thus the surprise round action
20:02:29 <Wrothmonk> alright, now for my own feat. I think this is the last bit.
20:02:39 <Wrothmonk> oh wait, have spells to do...
20:03:13 <Wrothmonk> four 0 level spells and 2 1st level right?
20:03:26 <Mekkis> niconorsk, ah, so you're not at the point where the enemy will miss you on a 1, and with shield, they'll miss you on... a 1
20:04:06 <Avatar> he's not talking about the amount of charges on your wand, niconorsk
20:04:14 <Avatar> he's talking about not sacrificing his action economy for you
20:06:27 <niconorsk> avatar: I know. :) Mekkis: I agree that for higher levels, shield loses all its value, but that can be said for a lot of spells
20:06:51 <Wrothmonk> ohoho
20:07:03 <Wrothmonk> I'm getting guidance.
20:07:06 <Mekkis> I'm arguing that it never really had much value to begin with
20:07:14 <Wrothmonk> range of touch I can cast on my edolon.
20:07:22 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, see what I mean by "they put all the good spells on the summoner list"
20:07:30 <Wrothmonk> heh.
20:07:38 <Mekkis> you get Haste as a 2nd level spell!
20:07:45 <Wrothmonk> seriusly?
20:07:49 <Mekkis> yeah
20:07:49 <Wrothmonk> awsome!
20:08:00 <Avatar> yeah haste is a huge plus for the summoner
20:08:04 <Mekkis> and Summon Monster IV as a third level spell
20:08:07 <Avatar> overpoweringly so
20:09:51 <Wrothmonk> which is better, read magic or mage hand?
20:10:00 <Avatar> mage hand
20:10:14 <Avatar> note that it doesn't work on magic items
20:10:15 <Mekkis> ummm... are you sure there's nothing else you're prefer
20:10:21 <Mekkis> or attended items
20:10:25 <Wrothmonk> wait...
20:10:30 <Mekkis> Message!
20:10:33 <Avatar> mage hand is a great spell
20:10:36 <Wrothmonk> !spell resistance
20:10:42 <Mekkis> it's crap
20:10:46 <diebot> Wrothmonk, RESISTANCE abjuration ([]) bard 0, cleric 0, druid 0, paladin 1, sorcerer/wizard 0, summoner 0, witch 0, inquisitor 0 1 standard action Range: touch creature touched Comp: V, S, M/DF (a miniature cloak) Duration: 1 minute Save: Will negates (harmless) SR:yes (harmless)
20:10:47 <diebot> You imbue the subject with magical energy that protects it from harm, granting it a +1 resistance bonus on saves. Resistance can be made permanent with a permanency spell.
20:10:51 <Mekkis> it's worse than Shield at wasting actions!
20:11:01 <Avatar> it's got utility
20:11:07 <Wrothmonk> hrm...
20:11:10 <Avatar> of course it's worse than shield, it's a cantrip, not a 1st level spell
20:11:16 <Wrothmonk> ^this
20:11:25 <Wrothmonk> well for paladins its first level
20:11:43 <Avatar> I wouldn't take it on a paladin
20:11:48 <Avatar> you have much better choices of spells
20:12:14 <Wrothmonk> Do you mind me using the bot a little bit to find spells with common names?
20:12:31 <Avatar> just don't destroy us with spam
20:12:52 <Wrothmonk> I'll try not to
20:12:57 <Wrothmonk> I'd hate it myself :P
20:13:23 <Wrothmonk> hrm....
20:13:38 <Wrothmonk> this is a tough one, the spells that are left seem pretty useless.
20:13:55 <Wrothmonk> so far I got acid splash, detect magic, and guidance.
20:14:43 <Wrothmonk> left on the list are: arcane mark, daze, light, mage hand, mending, message, open/close, read magic, and resistance.
20:14:58 <Mekkis> Message!
20:15:04 <Wrothmonk> No.
20:15:26 <Mekkis> why not?
20:15:30 <Wrothmonk> We'll…. I suppose it could help if somebody jumped out and attacked me.
20:15:43 <Wrothmonk> and I was away from the rest of the party.
20:15:50 <Wrothmonk> doubtful but possible.
20:15:58 <Mekkis> or if you're infiltrating a tavern and want to be able to coordinate things in a social situation
20:16:07 <Wrothmonk> been there done that.
20:16:28 <Mekkis> without yelling things and blowing your cover
20:17:41 <Wrothmonk> detect magic is about the same amount of good… scrolls!
20:18:04 <Mekkis> Avatar, how many times was Detect Magic cast last session?
20:18:13 <Wrothmonk> 10 times
20:18:15 <Wrothmonk> about
20:18:33 <Mekkis> that's a pretty useful spell then, right?
20:18:35 <Wrothmonk> I think it was cast about the same amount of time I used my CLW wand (9 times)
20:18:39 <Wrothmonk> have it
20:19:09 <Wrothmonk> light would probably be good. I can only use dancing lights once a day as a gnome...
20:19:28 <Mekkis> yeah, you can take message when you hit level 2
20:19:46 <Wrothmonk> light has a range of touch… can I make my edolon glow?
20:19:49 <Wrothmonk> :D
20:21:00 <diebot> You know, I do respond to commands in PMs...
20:21:17 <Avatar> detect magic is pretty much essential
20:21:34 <Wrothmonk> Ah. No spam for you guys
20:21:40 <Mekkis> it's rather frustrating to run a session with noone who can cast Detect Magic
20:21:47 <Wrothmonk> yes
20:21:50 <Wrothmonk> I did that once
20:22:03 <Mekkis> I've done it several times
20:22:57 <Wrothmonk> how do I register my nick again?
20:23:11 <Wrothmonk> need to be able to send diebot pms...
20:23:14 <Mekkis> /msg nickop REGISTER <password> <email>
20:23:21 <Mekkis> or you can just yell:
20:23:23 <Mekkis> IDENTIFY
20:23:24 <Avatar> it's /nickserv register (password) (email)
20:23:29 <Mekkis> in a channel where diebot is in
20:23:38 <Wrothmonk> identify
20:23:39 <Mekkis> (try PMing her now)
20:23:45 <Avatar> use your real email address because someday you'll need to reset it and that's the only way
20:23:47 <Mekkis> needs to be capital
20:23:49 Mort- ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
20:23:56 <Avatar> hey mort
20:24:01 <Mekkis> but what it does is it tells diebot to -R
20:24:02 <Wrothmonk> really?
20:24:12 <Mekkis> and accept unsolicited PMs
20:24:15 * Mort- wags tail
20:24:20 <Mekkis> hey Mort- !
20:24:30 * Mort- turns pink
20:24:41 <Mekkis> !reincarnate wonder
20:24:43 <diebot> Mekkis, Roll: 3: Slow target for 10 rounds (Will DC 15 negates)
20:24:45 <Wrothmonk> I'm making a summoner!
20:26:46 * Mort- hangs up sign I'm a lemur
20:26:47 * Mort- hangs up sign will give hugs for cookies
20:27:03 <Wrothmonk> alright getting mage armor and rejuvenate eidolon (lesser) as my 1st level spells
20:27:43 <Mort-> Just wand it for lre.
20:27:44 <Mort-> Cleric can clw your eid
20:28:04 <Wrothmonk> hem good point.
20:28:06 <Wrothmonk> hrm*
20:28:14 * Mekkis hands Mort- a cookie
20:28:16 <Mort-> If you find a cleric.
20:28:29 Ulzef_hates_mIRC ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
20:28:32 * Mort- hugs mekkis and eats cookie
20:28:44 <Mekkis> Ulzef, you should use xchat then :)
20:28:48 Ulzef has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
20:28:57 <Ulzef_hates_mIRC> yeah might look into that
20:29:02 <Avatar> what's going on ulzef
20:29:29 <Avatar> mirc doesn't cause ping timeouts
20:29:42 <Wrothmonk> where is table 10-1 btw?
20:29:49 <Brunius> Mekkis, I keep getting a crash with xchat
20:29:53 <Brunius> For no apparent reason
20:29:59 <Brunius> Of course, it's the four year old version...
20:30:03 <Mort-> Someone told me only 1 in 5 games have clerics
20:30:03 <Mort-> And they are the deliver sermon with hammer or the channel negative energy sort
20:30:04 <Mort-> Nice healbots seem to be endangered species
20:30:18 <Mort-> 10-1?
20:30:31 <Wrothmonk> for summon monster I
20:31:15 <Mekkis> Mort-, I'm playing a nice cleric who heals a lot
20:31:31 <Wrothmonk> hrm… enlarge person, reduce person, or rejuvenate eidolon...
20:31:36 <Mekkis> enlarge person
20:31:40 <Mekkis> it works on your eidolon
20:31:46 <Wrothmonk> hell yeah
20:32:07 <Mort-> Btw i do have a cleric
20:32:07 <Mort-> Somewhere out there
20:32:08 <Mort-> Oh just summon eagles
20:32:08 <Mort-> 3 attacks per round.
20:32:08 <Mort-> I could probably tell you what to summon for the first few summon monsters anyway
20:32:08 <Mort-> The problem is that summoned monsters don't hit very well
20:32:15 <Wrothmonk> ahem, humonoid?
20:32:20 <Mort-> That's where augment summoning comes in
20:32:23 <Wrothmonk> my eidolon is not humonoid
20:32:25 <Wrothmonk>
20:32:25 <Mort-> Sure does
20:32:33 <Mort-> Share spells dude
20:32:49 <Wrothmonk> oh.
20:32:52 <Wrothmonk> derp
20:32:53 <Wrothmonk> forgot that.
20:33:05 <Mort-> You can cast on your eid as if he is a humanoid
20:33:27 <Wrothmonk> A summoner may cast spells on his eidolon even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the eidolon’s type (outsider).
20:33:42 <Wrothmonk> is outsider separate from humanoid?
20:34:01 <Mort-> But they must come from summoner spell list
20:34:03 <Mort-> Don't run around with form of the dragon and try cast it on your eid
20:34:03 <Mort-> Yes
20:34:03 <Mort-> Good when dealing with hideous laughter
20:34:06 <Mort-> Also charm monster is way above charm person level
20:34:12 <Mort-> So not so easy to dominate an eid
20:35:04 <Mort-> You need dominate eidolon
20:35:07 <Mort-> Sorry. Dominate monster
20:35:07 <Mort-> Or just yell fu dismissal. Clears eids nicely too
20:35:26 Brunius- ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
20:35:34 <Mekkis> the only time someone's cast dismissal on my eidolon was when we later found that it wouldn't have worked
20:35:35 <Wrothmonk> alright, just need a feat now.
20:36:03 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, what's your plan for what your summoner's going to be doing while his eidolon kicks arse?
20:36:15 <Mort-> Yes i do have some summoner parts in me
20:36:29 <Wrothmonk> casting enlarger person, guidance, or acid splash?
20:36:29 <Mort-> Drink coffee
20:36:32 <Mort-> I always like that one!
20:36:33 <Mekkis> Mort-, I know. You had a horribly annoying synthesist.
20:36:59 <Wrothmonk> they are banned now you know.
20:37:00 <Mekkis> in that case, consider Extra Evolution, from Ultimate Magic (if you have it)
20:37:02 <Mekkis> I know
20:37:09 <Wrothmonk> I do
20:37:17 <Mekkis> I replaced my synthesist a few weeks ago
20:37:19 <Wrothmonk> I'll take a look
20:37:44 <Mort-> Guidance is a nice one
20:37:46 * Mort- ignores that
20:37:46 <Mort-> Why doesn't dismissal work on eids
20:37:46 <Mort-> Of course i know the standard summon eid scroll
20:38:10 <Mort-> Id say do summons!
20:38:12 <Mekkis> it didn't work THAT time because of something that's rather unique to the scenario
20:38:19 <Mekkis> but I don't want to spoil it for you
20:38:33 <Mort-> Ah ok. It should work theoratically
20:39:02 Hydrazine ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
20:39:11 <Wrothmonk> Nope
20:39:37 <Mort-> I won't be playing a summoner any time soon
20:39:38 <Mort-> Anyway
20:39:38 <Mort-> Hi hydra
20:39:42 <Mort-> I like enlarging people and taking a nap after
20:39:59 <Wrothmonk> wait no it can
20:40:04 <Wrothmonk> says specifically it can.
20:40:10 <Mort-> Can what?
20:40:15 <Wrothmonk> I thought it was the opposite.
20:40:23 <Mort-> What is it?
20:40:26 <Wrothmonk> be dispelled by dismissal
20:40:33 <Wrothmonk> eidolons
20:40:36 <Mort-> Of course it can
20:40:52 <Wrothmonk> its dispel magic that can't remove it.
20:41:01 <Mort-> That's when you summon earth elementals by the von
20:41:06 <Wrothmonk> oh mort
20:41:09 <Wrothmonk> if you punt me
20:41:15 <Hydrazine> Hi.
20:41:15 <Wrothmonk> I'll send my dragon after you
20:41:27 <Mort-> Ton
20:41:34 * Mort- hides
20:41:49 <Wrothmonk> Rumil the second is a gnome.
20:41:53 <Mort-> Oh i only punt gnomes!
20:42:06 Wrothmonk is now known as Rumil
20:42:09 * Mort- bounces at the sight of rumil
20:42:17 * Rumil sänds dragon eidolon after mort
20:42:18 <Hydrazine> Gnomes are best for punting.
20:42:20 <Rumil> sends*
20:42:28 * Mort- hides
20:42:31 * Grolschmir charges Mort-
20:42:31 Brunius- is now known as Bairaq
20:42:36 <Grolschmir> @charge
20:42:37 <diebot> Grolschmir, attack: [1d20=5] 18; damage: [3d6=3,3,6] 51
20:42:42 <Mort-> Difficult terrain!
20:42:47 <Grolschmir> flight
20:42:58 <Mort-> I'm hiding under ground
20:43:01 <Mort-> Dude!
20:43:10 <Grolschmir> then you're not punting gnomes
20:43:15 <Mort-> Think of a little rock hole
20:43:18 Rumil is now known as Wrothmonk
20:43:19 <Mort-> I ran
20:43:21 <Wrothmonk> Good :P
20:43:24 <Mort-> He sent his fluffy after me :(
20:43:30 <Mekkis> my lance reaches into little rock holes ;)
20:43:34 <Mort-> The moment fluffy came out i ran
20:43:37 <Wrothmonk> I
20:43:42 Bairaq is now known as Brunius-
20:43:44 <Wrothmonk> 'm thinking of naming him spike
20:43:46 <Mort-> Can you charge something you can't see?
20:43:47 <Wrothmonk> not fluffy
20:43:50 <Mort-> That's fine
20:44:00 <Mort-> Fluffy is just generic term for dragon
20:44:06 <Wrothmonk> Ah
20:44:17 <Wrothmonk> I thought it was a generic term for monsters.
20:44:36 <Wrothmonk> alright… feat for level 1 summoner
20:44:41 <Wrothmonk> suggestions?
20:44:57 <Mort-> Spell focus conjuration
20:45:23 <Mort-> Btw so you know. Things that get bull rushed into a pit get no saves to avoid being tossed in
20:45:37 * Wrothmonk facepalm equipmet too
20:45:54 <Wrothmonk> sounds interesting, if acid splash gets a save
20:46:09 <Wrothmonk> which it doesnt.
20:46:41 <Wrothmonk> currently my only offensive spell is acid splash.
20:47:21 <Mort-> Its cool
20:50:54 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, what Itzamna does when his eidolon is kicking arse is continually discharges a Rod of Wonder
20:51:06 <Wrothmonk> really?
20:51:07 <Mekkis> but my suggestion is Extra Evolution
20:51:09 <Mekkis> yes
20:51:39 <Avatar> extra evolution is your friend
20:51:51 <Wrothmonk> oh misread, I thought you were talking about the archetype...
20:52:06 <Avatar> the feat
20:52:35 <Wrothmonk> nice.
20:52:40 <Avatar> there's actually a race which lets you use your favoured class bonus to get 1/4 of an evolution point per level
20:52:46 <Avatar> can't remember which
20:52:46 <Mort-> Half elf
20:52:52 <Avatar> there you go
20:52:58 <Mort-> Do wild caller for more fun shit
20:53:54 <Wrothmonk> yeah but four levels to get one extra point?
20:54:13 <Wrothmonk> Sorry but no thanks. I'd take the HP over that.
20:55:43 <Mort-> Your choice :p
20:55:46 <Wrothmonk> how does improved damage on my eidolon's bit sound?
20:55:48 <Mort-> Id take evo
20:55:50 <Wrothmonk> bite*
20:55:56 <Mort-> You want damage?
20:56:00 <Wrothmonk> Yup
20:56:03 <Mort-> Biped. Get big weapon
20:56:07 <Mort-> Manufactured weapon
20:56:08 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, I'd avoid it
20:56:17 <Wrothmonk> Why?
20:56:18 <Mort-> Probably a falchion
20:56:28 <Mekkis> because it only increases average damage by 1
20:56:34 <Mekkis> it's a pretty poor choice
20:56:35 <Wrothmonk> good point.
20:56:46 <Mekkis> I'd rather something like Ability Score Increase (str)
20:56:57 <Mekkis> although I'd rather improved nat armour for first level
20:57:01 <Mekkis> at second level, sure
20:57:16 <Wrothmonk> I'd have to remove pounce then
20:57:16 <Mekkis> what are the attacks at the moment anyway?
20:57:24 <Wrothmonk> bite and claws
20:57:32 <Mekkis> how does it get claws?
20:57:39 <Wrothmonk> claw evolution?
20:57:40 <Mekkis> I thought claws had to be on arms, not leg
20:57:49 <Wrothmonk> its pincers for arms
20:57:51 <Wrothmonk> claws for legs
20:58:00 <Mekkis> I'm sure that that's wrong
20:58:15 <Wrothmonk> Claws (Ex): An eidolon has a pair of vicious claws at the end of its limbs, giving it two claw attacks. These attacks are primary attacks. The claws deal 1d4 points of damage (1d6 if Large, 1d8 if Huge). The eidolon must have the limbs evolution to take this evolution. This evolution can only be applied to the limbs (legs) evolution once This evolution can be selected more than once, but the eidolon must possess an equal number of the limbs
20:58:16 <Wrothmonk> evolution.
20:58:26 <Mekkis> ah
20:58:33 <Mekkis> so it can be applied to legs, but only once
20:58:35 <Mekkis> fair enough
20:58:37 <Mort-> You can put one set on legs
20:58:41 <Mort-> Mek
20:58:41 <Mort-> one set only
20:58:41 * Mort- glares at the mek and flattens her ears
20:58:50 <Mekkis> I knew that it could be attached to arms
20:59:07 <Wrothmonk> well all I need is one set. I'm at my full # of attacks then
20:59:09 <Mort-> See.
20:59:10 * Mort- growls at the mek
20:59:15 <Mekkis> what?
20:59:18 <Mekkis> I was correct
20:59:20 <Wrothmonk> so get rid of pounce to get extra str?
20:59:23 <Mort-> You're doing quad ped?
20:59:26 <Wrothmonk> yes
20:59:30 <Mort-> Don't :p
20:59:37 <Mekkis> hmmm
20:59:45 <Mekkis> I'd get rid of mount for extra str :S
20:59:48 <Mekkis> if you've taken mount
20:59:52 <Wrothmonk> I havent
20:59:57 <Wrothmonk> claws, armor, and pounce
21:00:09 <Mekkis> problem with first level summoners is that the eidolon has like, 6 HP
21:00:15 <Wrothmonk> 10
21:00:20 <Mort-> Ability point is 2 points
21:00:27 <Mekkis> eidolons don't get max HP at first level
21:00:43 <Wrothmonk> I was told otherwise, by avatar i believe
21:00:48 <Mort-> Not 1 i thought?
21:00:48 <Mort-> 3 evo points on start?
21:00:51 <Mort-> Toughness on eid
21:00:52 <Mort-> 4.5x hd + con mod
21:01:10 <Mort-> Neither do acs anyway
21:01:18 <mrk> quick question. there a preferred faction for new characters?
21:01:30 <Mekkis> http://paizo.com/pathfinderSociety/faq#v5748eaic9os4
21:01:35 <Mort-> Andoran :d
21:01:42 <Mekkis> mrk, anything but Grand Lodge
21:01:43 <Mort-> Everyone is an andoran
21:02:04 <mrk> thanks
21:02:08 <Wrothmonk> whats the average for d10?
21:02:09 <Mekkis> I'd suggest one of the First Five
21:02:11 <Mekkis> 5.5
21:02:37 <Wrothmonk> so 5 or 6?
21:02:51 <Mekkis> what's the con?
21:02:57 <Wrothmonk> 13
21:03:02 <Wrothmonk> 6 then?
21:03:02 <Mekkis> then 6 in total
21:04:04 <Mekkis> 5 + 1 con
21:04:18 <Wrothmonk> well at least I got 16 ac on him
21:04:32 <Wrothmonk> and mage armor to cast on him.
21:05:48 <Wrothmonk> ok just double checking
21:05:58 <Mort-> 20 ac yeah that's right
21:06:14 <Wrothmonk> with a full round my eidolon can do a 1d6+2 bite, and two 1d4+2 claw attacks?
21:06:18 <Wrothmonk> damage wise
21:06:29 <Wrothmonk> and with a single bite its 1d6+3
21:06:43 <Mort-> Correct
21:07:15 <Mekkis> yeah
21:07:25 <Mekkis> ummm
21:07:26 <Mekkis> no
21:07:31 <Mekkis> single bite is still 1d6+2
21:07:44 <Wrothmonk> since he has access to two more attacks?
21:07:49 <Mekkis> Natural Weapons are weird
21:07:49 <Mekkis> yeah
21:07:54 <Wrothmonk> damn
21:07:56 <Wrothmonk> ah well
21:08:10 <Mekkis> if you want to do more damage, put bite on him again
21:08:23 <Wrothmonk> I can do that?
21:08:49 <Wrothmonk> it adds an extra 1/2 str
21:08:57 <Mekkis> Bite (Ex)
21:08:57 <Mekkis> An eidolon’s maw is full of razor-sharp teeth, giving it a bite attack. This attack is a primary attack. The bite deals 1d6 points of damage (1d8 if Large, 2d6 if Huge). If the eidolon already has a bite attack, this evolution allows it to deal 1-1/2 times its Strength modifier on damage rolls made with its bite.
21:08:57 <Wrothmonk> correct?
21:08:59 <Mekkis> yeah
21:09:06 <Wrothmonk> Alright
21:09:12 <Mort-> If you wanted more damage i think id just pass him a falchion
21:09:12 <Mekkis> which means that with power attack, it increases more
21:09:20 <Mort-> 2 hand it for good measure
21:09:27 <Mekkis> Mort-, that's because you're an unrepentant powergamer
21:09:31 <Wrothmonk> you can two hand a bite?
21:09:34 <Wrothmonk> ...
21:09:38 <Mekkis> plus, he doesn't have arms
21:09:41 <Mort-> Bite at -5
21:09:44 <Mekkis> or proficiency
21:09:50 <Mort-> That's why i said biped
21:09:59 <Mekkis> that's not what he's going for
21:10:10 <Mort-> Mekkis is trying to get me burnt at stake for being a lemure
21:10:22 <Mekkis> no
21:10:24 <Mort-> But he asked for damage. I just gave him suggestions!
21:10:35 <Mekkis> for being an unrepentant powergamer
21:10:36 <Wrothmonk> two handing a bite?
21:10:38 * Mort- flutters eyelashes innocently
21:10:43 <Wrothmonk> thats...
21:10:44 <Mort-> Don't
21:10:51 <Mort-> Your bite is at -5
21:10:55 <Wrothmonk> what do you actually do?
21:11:01 <Mekkis> I don't know what you're talking about
21:11:05 <Mekkis> bite is a primary attack
21:11:07 <Mort-> Quadped is fine because later pounce is very nasty
21:11:09 <Mekkis> it's not at -5
21:11:19 <Mort-> If you mix manufactured and natural
21:11:23 <Wrothmonk> grab your jaw with both hands and push them together?
21:11:24 <Mekkis> so you don't do that
21:11:25 <Mekkis> easy
21:11:27 <Mort-> Your natural weapons take -5
21:11:43 <Wrothmonk> is that how you two hand a bite?
21:11:47 <Mort-> So 2 handing a falchion would put your bite at -5
21:12:03 <Mekkis> Mort-, some context: Wrothmonk wants his eidolon to resemble a dragon. Last we checked, dragons don't wield falchions...
21:12:08 <Mort-> Either you fight with manufactured weapons or fight with natural
21:12:20 <Mort-> Ok quadped.
21:12:26 <Wrothmonk> He could get arms later on
21:12:26 <Mort-> Then
21:12:33 <Wrothmonk> Some dragons have arms right?

21:13:03 <Mort-> Dragons I'm sorry don't use manufactured weapons
21:13:07 <Mekkis> not really
21:13:12 <Wrothmonk> K
21:13:16 <Mort-> Yet to see one
21:13:34 <Wrothmonk> Spells per day for summoner?
21:13:44 <Wrothmonk> nvm found it
21:13:45 <Mekkis> but you don't really need it: one of the properties of a summoner is that the class is generally powerful enough, without going out of your way to make it really powerful
21:14:00 <Mort-> The last one flamed me some then went bite claw claw wing buffet x2 tail slap
21:14:17 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, what was your starting statline? 12 12 12 14 14 15?
21:14:35 <Wrothmonk> 12, 15, 11, 10, 10, 16
21:14:42 <Mekkis> before racials?!
21:14:45 <Wrothmonk> with mods 10, 15, 13, 10, 10, 18
21:14:56 <Wrothmonk> yes.
21:14:59 <Mort-> Can do
21:15:14 <Mort-> Dude I'm just an information box
21:15:16 <Mekkis> seems... reasonable. Itzamna did the whole "no stat below 12" thing, but w/e
21:15:30 <Mort-> If you want information thingies just whistle
21:15:36 <Mort-> I'm not evil. I think.
21:15:42 <Mort-> I haven't sacrificed anything yet
21:15:43 <Wrothmonk> I didn't want to dump wis or int.
21:15:56 <Wrothmonk> str I want a /chance/ in melee
21:15:58 <Mort-> I know quite a number of things
21:16:13 <Mort-> You know what's fun on summoner? :p
21:16:18 <Wrothmonk> what?
21:16:23 <Mort-> I know its unoptimal and stuff
21:16:26 <Mekkis> a rod of wonder!
21:16:34 <Mort-> But you can carry a lance ride your dragon
21:16:38 <Wrothmonk> ...
21:16:39 <Mort-> And charge!
21:16:46 <Mort-> You can.
21:16:46 <Wrothmonk> Dude.
21:16:50 <Wrothmonk> I already thought of that
21:16:52 <Wrothmonk> with wings
21:16:53 <Wrothmonk> no less.
21:17:01 <Wrothmonk> :P
21:17:08 <Mort-> It isn't optimal but hey if that floats your boat
21:17:19 <Mekkis> Rod of Wonder :)
21:17:22 <Wrothmonk> gnome riding a medium dragon flying down at you screaming with a lance, both rolling intimidates.
21:17:28 <Wrothmonk> you better run
21:17:29 <Wrothmonk> fast
21:17:30 <Mort-> I actually did come up with hammer throwing from the back of a quetzaquotal
21:17:33 <Wrothmonk> :D
21:17:49 <Wrothmonk> … mort, I can't tell if your a genius or a madman.
21:17:53 <Mort-> Suggest you take the feat to sub intimidate with bluff
21:17:56 <Wrothmonk> Probably a little of both.
21:17:57 <Mekkis> she's a madwoman
21:18:00 <Mort-> Both
21:18:06 <Wrothmonk> woman*
21:18:08 <Wrothmonk> pardon me.,
21:18:18 <Mort-> Genius and insanity come hand in hand
21:18:27 <Wrothmonk> Normally they do,
21:18:35 <Mekkis> "Madness and genius are separated only by degrees of success." --Sidar Jabari
21:18:36 <Wrothmonk> or at the very least the desire to blow things up
21:18:43 <Wrothmonk> ^this
21:18:51 <Mort-> There is a gnome feat to substitute intimidate with bluff
21:18:55 <Mort-> Suggest you take it
21:19:10 <Wrothmonk> why? its the same stat
21:19:12 <Mort-> Because trying to intimidate something bigger then you you take -4
21:19:18 <Wrothmonk> oh.
21:19:19 <Mort-> Because of that
21:19:24 <Wrothmonk> Later on then.
21:19:25 <Mort-> But no one said anything about bluff
21:19:39 <Mort-> Again. There are more items for intimidate then bluff
21:19:43 <Mekkis> depends if you want to waste a feat that way
21:19:49 <Mort-> Like the mask of the god king
21:19:50 <Wrothmonk> Yeah
21:19:58 <Mekkis> !item mask of the god king
21:20:01 <Mort-> +5 intimidate
21:20:03 <diebot> Mekkis, MASK OF THE MANTIS [faint divination] CL:3 head 6000gp, 1lb
21:20:03 <diebot> A mask of the mantis is the traditional headgear of the Red Mantis assassin. Designed both to mask the wearer's identity while on a job and to enhance the wearer's ferocious appearance, a mask of the mantis has 3 daily charges that can be used to gain additional bonuses. The wearer can spend a charge to gain darkvision to a range of 60 feet, the
21:20:03 <diebot> effects of see invisibility, the effects of deathwatch, or a +5 competence bonus on Perception checks. Once a charge is spent, the effect granted persists for 30 minutes before fading. Multiple effects can be active simultaneously. Charges replenish automatically in 24 hours. Source: Inner Sea World Guide
21:20:13 <Wrothmonk> with
21:20:21 <Wrothmonk> mask of the god king and you get mantis?
21:20:23 <Mort-> I dunno if i remembered it right
21:20:26 <Wrothmonk> wth*
21:20:37 <Mort-> But steven knows the item
21:20:46 <Mort-> Abuses it on his quis
21:20:55 <Wrothmonk> ALRIGHT
21:20:59 <Wrothmonk> sorry caps
21:21:00 <Mekkis> I'm using the Levenshtein algorithm.
21:21:03 <Mort-> Me...have to do it more mundanely
21:21:06 <Wrothmonk> time for equipment
21:21:13 <Mort-> Cookies
21:21:23 <Mekkis> clothes
21:21:35 <Wrothmonk> let see here. Don't care about light armor arcane penalties...
21:21:36 <Mort-> Always carry cookies. You can use them to summon lemurs.
21:21:49 <Wrothmonk> How much damage do they do?
21:21:56 <Wrothmonk> 1d4 claw attacks I'm assuming?
21:22:05 <Mort-> Uh they give free advice
21:22:15 <Wrothmonk> No thanks.
21:22:19 <Mort-> I wish you could treat it like sensei advice
21:22:22 <Wrothmonk> I don't need advice on killin' stuff
21:22:32 <Mort-> +1 to all damage and attack rolls
21:22:33 <Wrothmonk> unless it gives me a +1 to attacks and damage
21:22:35 <Mort-> But oh well
21:22:59 <Mort-> Studded leather
21:23:05 <Mort-> Chain for after first mission
21:23:14 <Mekkis> spend your 150gp on chain shirt
21:23:23 <Mekkis> buy a quarterstaff for 0gp
21:23:24 <Wrothmonk> thats medium
21:23:30 <Mekkis> and get started!
21:23:33 <Mort-> Light
21:23:35 <Mekkis> no, it's ligjt
21:23:39 <Mort-> Sling
21:23:40 Hydrazine has quit (Ping timeout: 181 seconds)
21:23:40 <Mekkis> chainmail is medium
21:23:41 <Wrothmonk> oh chain shirt
21:23:45 <Wrothmonk> I was looking at chainmail.
21:23:48 <Mekkis> don't bother with a sling
21:23:54 <Mekkis> you have acid splash
21:23:56 <Wrothmonk> acid splash all the way!
21:24:06 <Mort-> True
21:24:12 <Wrothmonk> What about the armor check penalty?
21:24:15 <Mort-> Ok time to go. I have stuff waiting
21:24:17 <Mort-> Screw it
21:24:17 <Mekkis> and avoid crossbows like the plague
21:24:25 <Mort-> Get your eid to carry you
21:24:29 <Mekkis> endure it
21:24:32 <Mekkis> it's not that high
21:24:36 Mort- has quit (Quit: Bye)
21:24:50 <Wrothmonk> climb and swim would be at -2
21:24:54 <Mekkis> that was Mort, the unrepentant powergamer...
21:24:58 <Mekkis> that's fine
21:25:13 <Wrothmonk> Rumil almost drowned with ought a rope to hang onto at -2
21:25:21 <Wrothmonk> I think it was a -2\
21:25:31 <Mekkis> you'll replace it with Masterwork Chain shirt after your first mission, which drops ACP by 1
21:25:40 <Mekkis> if you want it lower, take the Armour Expert trait
21:25:42 <Wrothmonk> Good point.
21:25:44 <Mekkis> dropping it by another one
21:25:54 <Wrothmonk> That would be good.
21:26:11 <Mekkis> (and then you end up buying Elven Chain (or celestial armour) when you can afford it)
21:27:39 <Wrothmonk> elven chain?
21:27:44 <Mekkis> !item elven chain
21:27:45 <Wrothmonk> celestial?
21:27:47 <diebot> Mekkis, ELVEN CHAIN [no aura (nonmagical)] CL:0 armor 5150gp, 20lb
21:27:47 <diebot> This extremely light chainmail is made of very fine mithral links. This armor is treated, in all ways, like light armor, including when determining proficiency. The armor has an arcane spell failure chance of 20%, a maximum Dexterity bonus of +4, and an armor check penalty of -2. Source: PFRPG Core

21:27:55 <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. Source: Ultimate

21:28:27 <Wrothmonk> 22400 gp!?!?!?!
21:28:35 <Wrothmonk> well it lets you fly...
21:28:57 <Mekkis> they're both Worth It
21:29:35 <Wrothmonk> where are traits again?
21:29:57 <Mekkis> I believe Armor Expert is in the Pathfinder Traits Web Enhancement
21:30:01 <Mekkis> (and in the APG)

21:34:25 Brunius- has quit (Connection closed)
21:37:09 <Wrothmonk> hem… what should I take as a second trait.
21:37:47 <Mekkis> Aspiring Bard
21:38:11 <Wrothmonk> What does that do>
21:38:17 <Mekkis> I don't remember
21:38:21 <Mekkis> but the name sounds good :)
21:38:35 <Mekkis> Often the first things noticed about gnomes beyond their
21:38:35 <Mekkis> size and physical coloration is their clothing. Unless
21:38:35 <Mekkis> specifically attempting to camouflage themselves, most
21:38:35 <Mekkis> gnomes prefer clothing that is brightly colored, and often
21:38:35 <Mekkis> unique to the point of seeming bizarre. And even in those
21:38:35 <Mekkis> cases where a gnome is trying to avoid notice, he’s more
21:38:35 <Mekkis> likely to choose a ghillie suit or similarly over-the-top
21:38:35 <Mekkis> outfit than simple muted colors.
21:39:25 <Wrothmonk> does the bot do traits? I don't see it anywhere
21:40:08 <Wrothmonk> oh yeah I need an outfit...
21:40:12 <Mekkis> no
21:40:17 <Mekkis> it can
21:40:24 <Mekkis> but I haven't done it yet
21:40:32 <Mekkis> mainly because there isn't an easy way to get them
21:40:39 <Mekkis> I needed to sniff the PRD for feats
21:40:40 <Wrothmonk> its it a 5gp or 10 gp outfit I get free?
21:40:48 <Mekkis> a reasonable one
21:40:55 <Mekkis> why? you after a ghille suit?
21:41:32 <Wrothmonk> I haven't even looked yet
21:41:52 <Mekkis> take the Collector trait from Gnomes of Golarion
21:42:35 <Wrothmonk> I don't have that book.
21:45:42 <Wrothmonk> can I choose not to take an outfit?
21:45:53 <Wrothmonk> I have 13 points of carrying capacity left...
21:45:55 <Mekkis> I don't see why not
21:46:05 <Wrothmonk> Good.
21:46:13 <Mekkis> keep in mind that armour for small creatures (and clothing) weighs less
21:48:13 <Wrothmonk> oh right
21:48:27 <Wrothmonk> I forgot I was small :P
21:49:02 <Wrothmonk> whats the reduction?
21:49:15 <Mekkis> 50%
21:49:25 <Wrothmonk> cool
21:49:31 <Wrothmonk> 23 lbs left :P
21:50:01 <Mekkis> your carrying capacity is reduced too
21:50:08 <Wrothmonk> fark
21:50:24 <Mekkis> !capacity 10
21:50:25 <diebot> Mekkis, 33
21:51:07 <Wrothmonk> where does it say that?
21:51:10 <Mekkis> so you multiply by .75
21:51:31 <Mekkis> chapter 7
21:51:44 <Wrothmonk> page?
21:51:49 <Mekkis> 170
21:54:03 <Mekkis> Die, bot
21:54:06 diebot has quit (Quit: Mekkis shot me :()
21:54:21 diebot ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
21:54:38 Mekkis gives channel half-operator status to diebot
21:54:42 <Mekkis> !capacity 10
21:54:43 <diebot> Mekkis, 33 if medium, 24.75 if small.
21:55:10 <Wrothmonk> should I round up or down?
21:55:47 <Mekkis> you shouldn't round
21:55:53 <Wrothmonk> ok.
21:56:11 <Wrothmonk> so my light load will be 24 and 3/4ths of a pound.
21:56:23 <Wrothmonk> lovely.
21:58:55 <Wrothmonk> as spear has a range of 20 ft?
21:59:01 <Wrothmonk> is that halved for being small?
22:00:20 <Wrothmonk> or is that meant to be thrown
22:03:08 <Hydrazine> thrown.
22:03:14 <Hydrazine> all ranges are for thrown.
22:03:31 <Hydrazine> if its a long weapon that goes beyond melee range without throwing it, it says reach.
22:04:43 <Hydrazine> The only difference you need to make for weapon stuff based on size is damage dice and weight.
22:06:02 <Wrothmonk> Do items scale at all?
22:06:21 <Wrothmonk> such as backpacks?
22:06:56 <Hydrazine> Don't recall backpacks.
22:08:11 <Hydrazine> Its not often we really measure backpacks as a specific volume.
22:08:22 <Wrothmonk> Yeah good point.
22:08:46 <Wrothmonk> well I can spare the 2 lbs.
22:09:09 <Wrothmonk> alright, studded leather, morningstar, and a backpack...
22:09:30 <Wrothmonk> I think there should be more here...
22:09:35 <Mekkis> why not chain shirt
22:09:39 <Mekkis> and quarterstaff
22:09:54 <Wrothmonk> might as well do a chain shirt.
22:10:08 <Wrothmonk> and why a quarterstaff when a morningstar does 1d6?
22:10:19 <Wrothmonk> when I could really only use the quarterstaff for 1d4
22:10:23 <Mekkis> because it costs nothing
22:10:31 <Mekkis> and you have no money after buying the chain shirt
22:10:45 <Wrothmonk> I thought you said you get 150 gp
22:10:54 <Mekkis> yeah
22:10:59 <Mekkis> doesn't a chain shirt cost 150
22:11:01 <Wrothmonk> chain shirt is 100 gp
22:11:04 <Mekkis> oh
22:11:09 <Mekkis> in that case, I'd longspear it
22:11:28 <Mekkis> Reach is a great thing to have
22:11:42 <Mekkis> (you're forgetting the spell component pouch, too)
22:12:00 <Wrothmonk> Thats it.
22:12:14 <Wrothmonk> although can reach weapons attack adjacent to me?
22:12:38 <Hydrazine> No.
22:12:40 <Mekkis> no
22:12:43 <Mekkis> but that's fine
22:12:48 <Mekkis> just 5' step back
22:12:50 <Hydrazine> Stay away from corners.
22:12:55 <Wrothmonk> good point
22:13:04 <Mekkis> the whole point of a reach weapon is to attack the enemy as they approach
22:13:15 <Hydrazine> I remember Jerus and another pole arm user fighting identical enemies once.
22:13:32 <Hydrazine> It was an elaborate dance to get them up against the wall and lay in the smash. It was beautiful.
22:13:45 <Mekkis> (at least, that's the point of a longspear in the hands of a caster)
22:13:57 <Mekkis> so the enemy thinks twice about attacking you
22:14:16 <Hydrazine> Esp. if you get one you can brace?
22:14:41 <Wrothmonk> spell component pouch costs?
22:15:40 <Wrothmonk> diebot isn't accepting pms
22:15:45 <Wrothmonk> again
22:15:46 <Hydrazine> Its in there somewhere.
22:15:53 <Hydrazine> I don't remember the price of everything.
22:16:06 <Mekkis> IDENTIFY
22:16:08 <Hydrazine> Hell, apparently I can't even recall all the details of starting wizards from memory.
22:16:09 <Mekkis> try now, Wrothmonk
22:16:37 <Wrothmonk> it gave me a polymathic pouch
22:16:42 <Wrothmonk> polymorphic*
22:16:53 <Mekkis> yeah. I didn't put nonmagical items in it
22:17:05 <Wrothmonk> ah there it is...
22:18:58 <Wrothmonk> alright then, 17 ac
22:19:17 <Wrothmonk> one more ac than my eidolon :P
22:19:19 <Wrothmonk> :?
22:19:22 <Wrothmonk> :/
22:19:51 <Wrothmonk> I'm going to be casting mage armor a bit aren't I?
22:20:10 <Mekkis> I would imagine so
22:20:44 <Mekkis> ask your GM if your eidolon starts not getting hit at all, then you'll know you need to scale back on the AC
22:20:56 <Mekkis> I had to do that with Perfection
22:21:07 <Wrothmonk> Really? Why?
22:21:20 <Wrothmonk> oh I just remembered what I was going to name my eidolon
22:21:23 <Wrothmonk> not spike
22:21:40 <Wrothmonk> [DATA EXPUNGED]
22:21:42 <Mekkis> because it isn't fun for anyone if you can't get hit
22:22:41 <Wrothmonk> why is that?
22:23:00 <Mekkis> there's no challenge, and it frustrates the GM
22:23:06 <Wrothmonk> Ah
22:23:08 mrk ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
22:23:29 <Hydrazine> Because then the enemies just ignore you and move on to easier prey.
22:23:36 <Mekkis> or that
22:23:41 <Wrothmonk> well time to register on paizo
22:23:57 <Mekkis> depending on a) how smart the enemies are; and b) how smart the GM plays them
22:24:22 * Wrothmonk facepalm
22:24:24 <Wrothmonk> faction
22:24:31 <Mekkis> hmmm
22:24:35 <Mekkis> alignment?
22:24:36 <Wrothmonk> shadow lodge :P
22:24:41 <Mekkis> really?
22:24:48 * Wrothmonk x2 facepalm combo
22:24:56 <Mekkis> you trust that snake?
22:25:09 <Wrothmonk> I trust a dragon… thats kinda a snake
22:25:12 <Wrothmonk> :P
22:25:23 <Mekkis> but do you trust Torch?
22:25:28 <Mekkis> really?
22:25:30 <mrk> make sense for a monk to join torch?
22:25:30 <Wrothmonk> who?
22:25:34 <Hydrazine> I got quite upset Mekkis, when I had mindless enemies ignoring high AC targets.
22:25:43 <Mekkis> I mean, do you even know his NAME?
22:25:53 <Hydrazine> I know your name, Mek!
22:26:04 <Wrothmonk> nope, don't even know a guy that goes by torch.
22:26:15 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, then don't go Shadow Lodge
22:26:24 <Wrothmonk> I was joking anyway
22:26:25 <Mekkis> if you don't know who the faction leader is!
22:26:38 <Mekkis> Hydrazine, sure, but it goes both ways
22:26:41 Mr_SxC ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
22:26:56 <Wrothmonk> alright, neutral good. As opposed to the normal chaotic guys I play.
22:27:16 <Mekkis> deity?
22:27:24 Mr_SxC ([email protected]) has left #d&d
22:27:53 <Wrothmonk> ugh where is the deity list again? cleric page right?
22:28:14 <Mekkis> yeah, I think
22:28:19 <Wrothmonk> 3-6....
22:28:20 <mrk> need a deity?
22:28:20 <Mekkis> or in the Inner Sea World Guide
22:28:21 <Mekkis> OH!
22:28:28 <Wrothmonk> ?
22:28:28 <Mekkis> you need to worship Apsu!
22:28:35 <Wrothmonk> apsu....
22:28:39 <mrk> lol
22:28:40 <Wrothmonk> I don't see that here.
22:29:04 <Mekkis> http://www.pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Apsu
22:29:26 <Wrothmonk> Sounds good to me :D
22:29:32 <Hydrazine> Why have I not seen helmets that go over potions with tubes to the mouth, like beer hats?
22:29:40 <Wrothmonk> ...
22:29:42 <Wrothmonk> brilliant
22:29:45 <Wrothmonk> or hilarius
22:29:48 <Wrothmonk> can't decide
22:30:04 <Mekkis> how is there even a contest?
22:30:13 <Wrothmonk> Both.
22:30:18 <Mekkis> it's Apsu
22:30:19 <Wrothmonk> Definetly both
22:30:40 <Wrothmonk> ok, next question, how much would a gold dragon's foot brooch cost :P
22:30:48 <Mekkis> (I can almost see you joining the Silver Crusade...)
22:30:58 <Mekkis> minimum, 20gp
22:30:59 <Wrothmonk> if I'm going to worship a dragon, I'm going to do it right!
22:31:04 <Mekkis> maximum, anything goes!
22:31:08 <Wrothmonk> ok after next scenario
22:31:22 <Mekkis> you should put all your money into gemstones that line it!
22:31:26 <Wrothmonk> wait… theres something on general jewelry prices in the core rulebook
22:31:45 <Wrothmonk> I did it when I was thinking about making a wizard
22:32:39 <Wrothmonk> 100-500 gp
22:32:44 <Wrothmonk> Jewelry, Normal (100–500 gp): Most jewelry is made of silver, gold, jade, or coral, often ornamented with semi-precious or even medium-quality gemstones. Normal jewelry includes all types of minor jewelry plus armbands, necklaces, and brooches.
22:32:53 <Mekkis> (my Synthesist in a Kingmaker campaign is an Apsu worshipper - he wants to make it the state religion)
22:33:09 <Wrothmonk> heh.
22:33:14 <Mekkis> "For Glory!"
22:33:19 <Mekkis> "For Leadership!"
22:33:25 <Mekkis> "For Peace"
22:33:33 <Hydrazine> Hey Mekkis. I watched AFL footy on sunday. Completely different is an understatement.
22:33:35 <Mekkis> (also for dragons...)
22:33:43 <Wrothmonk> For awesome dragons!
22:33:47 <Mekkis> Crows vs who?
22:34:06 <Hydrazine> I saw Crows vs Kilda and Kilda vs Port.
22:34:07 <Mekkis> and do you understand it?
22:34:26 <Hydrazine> I think I get the general idea.
22:34:33 <Mekkis> that's more than me
22:34:56 <Mekkis> hmmm... I hsould try and compile my IRC client on my phone
22:35:18 <Wrothmonk> I can kinda see osirion as a faction
22:35:28 <Wrothmonk> power through knowledge… about dragons!
22:35:44 <Hydrazine> I ask Tashes how much footy she understands.
22:35:48 <Hydrazine> "Ball goes in the sticks."
22:35:52 Brunius has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
22:36:08 <Wrothmonk> I thought it didn't work like that...
22:36:14 <Meltytashes> And you gotta bounce it too
22:36:28 <Meltytashes> and don't forget to be supercreepy to women in clubs on your days off.
22:36:39 <Hydrazine> Its Aussie footy, Wroth. Its not even slightly close.
22:36:54 <Hydrazine> The only thing it has in common with American football is that the ball is almost the same shape.
22:36:57 <Meltytashes> Remember kids- you need at least one molestation allegation to join St Kilda.
22:36:58 <Wrothmonk> is the football where you actually use your feet?
22:37:12 <Meltytashes> No wroth.
22:37:12 <Mekkis> no, it's "Guy grabs ball, runs in the Correct Direction, bouncing it. Guy wearing different shirt grabs at him, if he falls down, everyone jumps ontop, causing a clusterfuck. The referee comes over and sorts it out. Repeat as required. Occasionally someone kicks the ball."
22:37:14 <Meltytashes> Well, sometimes.
22:37:30 <Wrothmonk> ok so football american.
22:37:31 <Meltytashes> I think Mekkis got it right .
22:37:41 <Wrothmonk> sounds the same to me.
22:38:00 <Wrothmonk> wait bouncing it repeatedly?
22:38:03 <Hydrazine> Where in American ball do you have to punch it?
22:38:09 <Hydrazine> Yes. You have to dribble the ball.
22:38:12 <Wrothmonk> ...
22:38:18 <Wrothmonk> football meets basketball...
22:38:20 <Wrothmonk> Lovely
22:38:41 <Hydrazine> The field is also flipping huge. And oval.
22:38:51 <mrk> quick question, 2 traits for a new character?;)
22:38:58 <Wrothmonk> true
22:38:59 <Hydrazine> SO you dribble it like basketball. You don't throw to pass. You either kick it or punch it.
22:39:00 <Wrothmonk> wait no
22:39:03 <Wrothmonk> trick qustion!
22:39:11 <Wrothmonk> :P
22:40:10 <Hydrazine> And you have to kick it through the goal. Theres also no downs or yardage. They just run around alot.
22:40:26 <Wrothmonk> ok looking through the factions, osirion and silver crusade look the best
22:40:52 <Hydrazine> I felt sorry for those buggers, Mek. It was 38 and steamy in the shade.
22:41:49 <Wrothmonk> ooh I like the tomb raider trait.
22:41:55 <Wrothmonk> osirion it is.
22:41:58 <Hydrazine> Much less structured than American footy.
22:42:14 <Wrothmonk> what is this "structure" in american football you speak of?
22:42:25 Mekk ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
22:43:10 <Hydrazine> Every 10 seconds or so the whole field lines up at the ball and waits for someone to say go.
22:43:15 <Mekk> looks like my IRC client works on my phone, except it appears that an int is shorter...
22:43:17 <Wrothmonk> tomb raider will let me get a big perception boost.
22:43:22 <Hydrazine> My side/your side.
22:43:27 <Wrothmonk> ok
22:43:29 <Wrothmonk> structure
22:43:31 <Wrothmonk> I see
22:43:57 <Wrothmonk> my perception just went from 3 to 7
22:44:08 <Wrothmonk> :D
22:44:16 <Hydrazine> They keep careful track of exactly how many chances you get to run the ball before you lose it, and how far you have to get in order to keep it.
22:44:19 <Hydrazine> Structure.
22:44:21 <Mekkis> Itzamna's perception is horrible
22:44:48 <Wrothmonk> I have a cmv of -1
22:44:48 <Mekkis> then you kick it, and everyone runs after it
22:44:52 <Wrothmonk> cmb*
22:45:01 <Mekkis> and clusterfucks the ball
22:45:02 <Mekkis> :)
22:45:05 <Wrothmonk> http://pfrpg.com.au/charsheet.php5?id=655
22:46:06 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, you should make a separate sheet for your eidolon
22:46:53 <Wrothmonk> Oh, I wasn't sure if I could do that.
22:49:09 <Hydrazine> American ball isn't really as clustered, Mek. Usually a play ends in a run, a pass, throwing to the wrong team, or the QB getting knocked on his ass.
22:49:28 <Hydrazine> Usually no more than 3 people on the ball at a time.,
22:49:43 <Meltytashes> <Hydrazine> Usually no more than 3 people on my balls at a time.,
22:49:47 <Meltytashes> fixed for ya
22:50:29 <Mekkis> in the US, it's different in .au, right?
22:50:46 <Mekkis> more people on the balls
22:50:57 <Hydrazine> way more people on the balls.
22:51:07 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, check out my eidolon
22:51:13 <Mekkis> http://nl.ti4200.info/~mekkis/Perfection_Front.jpg
22:51:58 <Wrothmonk> erm...
22:52:15 <Wrothmonk> That looks more like a [DATA EXPUNGED] than my dragon...
22:52:16 <Mekkis> large mechanical spider
22:52:28 <Mekkis> is what it's supposed to be
22:53:27 <Mekkis> nl.ti4200.info/~mekkis/Perfection8.pdf
22:54:32 <Hydrazine> [F(Sp)]ork are getting orcish army knives!
22:54:52 <Wrothmonk> hrm. what should I put in for [DATA EXPUNGED] as a char sheet name...
22:55:20 <Mekkis> please tell me your dragon's not called [DATA EXPUNGED]
22:55:34 <Wrothmonk> no its called [DATA EXPUNGED]
22:55:46 <Mekkis> at least use a decent, in-universe name
22:56:01 <Hydrazine> Ex-Benedict?
22:56:09 <Wrothmonk> Back to spike then
22:56:55 <Wrothmonk> what to put for gender....
22:57:01 <Hydrazine> Q
22:57:05 <Mekkis> what's its gender?
22:57:08 <Wrothmonk> ...
22:57:24 <Wrothmonk> Of course its a Q, I summon it form STNG
22:57:45 <Wrothmonk> I would like to say in character "I'm not exactly sure."
22:57:55 <Hydrazine> Well.. does it have a block and tacle? Twig and berries?
22:58:26 <Mekkis> Ireorikcdarss.
22:58:34 <Wrothmonk> ?
22:58:42 <Mekkis> that's a common draconic name
22:59:18 <Hydrazine> Susy.
22:59:23 <Mekkis> Pothoctiathar.
22:59:25 <Wrothmonk> I prefer spike.
22:59:36 <Wrothmonk> I'd prefer a name I can pronounce.
22:59:48 <Hydrazine> Doesn't your summoner speak draconic?
23:00:01 <Wrothmonk> Couldn't spare the points for int :(
23:00:10 <Mekkis> Martivir
23:00:26 niconorsk2 ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
23:01:06 <Mekkis> Tiburdarss
23:01:28 <Wrothmonk> I already started the char sheet under spike.
23:02:15 <Mekkis> don't let that stop you
23:02:27 <Mekkis> just don't create fifteen characters with nothing on their sheets
23:02:36 <Mekkis> in direct succession
23:02:50 <Mekkis> Karajix
23:03:11 <Wrothmonk> That sounds interesting for a name.
23:03:24 <Mekkis> Draconic sounds harsh to most other creatures and
23:03:24 <Mekkis> includes numerous hard consonants and sibilants. It
23:03:24 <Mekkis> includes sounds that humans generally describe as hissing
23:03:24 <Mekkis> (sj, ss, and sv) as well as a noise that sounds a great deal like
23:03:24 <Mekkis> a beast clearing its throat (ach).
23:03:52 <Hydrazine> Is that last bit any similar to German?
23:04:02 niconorsk has quit (Ping timeout: 181 seconds)
23:04:04 <Mekkis> indeed
23:04:25 <Wrothmonk> ok, I'm forking over a rank from KN local to linguistics
23:04:40 <Mekkis> ErGix
23:05:05 <Hydrazine> I think you have to pronounce the name like you're really angry. For authenticity.
23:05:20 <Hydrazine> And like you've been smoking for 30 years.
23:05:56 <Wrothmonk> quick question, would getting a language from linguistics be the total points you have in it or just your ranks?
23:06:13 <Mekkis> just the ranks
23:06:37 <Hydrazine> the bonus points just go for linguistics rolls.
23:06:40 <Wrothmonk> Height and weight?
23:06:46 <Hydrazine> Which I've actually seen a decent number of times.
23:06:48 <Mekkis> your choice
23:07:35 <Wrothmonk> I'm assuming his weight wouldn't be over his light load?
23:07:58 <Mekkis> your weight doesn't contribute to your encumberance
23:09:11 <Wrothmonk> how does 127 lbs sound?
23:09:55 <Mekkis> ummmmm low
23:10:19 <Wrothmonk> 184?
23:10:27 <Mekkis> a lion weighs 250kg (550lb)
23:10:37 <Wrothmonk> ok then...
23:10:58 <Wrothmonk> probably round 670 then?
23:11:02 <Hydrazine> the Adelaide zoo lions are ripped.
23:11:10 <Hydrazine> I swear they're juicing.
23:11:17 <Mekkis> a panther weighs around 150lb
23:11:29 <Mekkis> a jaguar weighs 250lb
23:11:38 <Wrothmonk> The zookeepers want a big show...
23:12:20 <Mekkis> a proton's mass is 1.67262158 × 10^-27 kilograms
23:12:38 <Mekkis> a photon's mass is... possibly 0.
23:13:38 <Wrothmonk> 400 lbs? about
23:13:50 <Mekkis> what's that in kg?
23:14:03 <Wrothmonk> thats around the size of a cow.
23:14:19 <Mekkis> I think a cow is large
23:14:42 <mrk> roughly speaking, halve the lb value to get the kg value
23:15:55 <Wrothmonk> I was wrong about cows, its more like 600 lbs.
23:15:57 <Wrothmonk> min
23:16:17 <Wrothmonk> Deer size?
23:18:56 <Hydrazine> Mkay, g'night guys.
23:19:58 <Wrothmonk> finding the weight of a dragon is a little hard...
23:20:45 <Wrothmonk> medium can go between 60 lbs and 500 lbs
23:31:17 <Hydrazine> You know.. you culd just make some shit up.
23:31:41 <Hydrazine> Fork and Spork weigh about 300lbs because it sounded like a good number for big hulking orcs.
23:32:51 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, http://nl.ti4200.info/Karajix.png
23:33:13 <Mekkis> you're welcome
23:35:25 <Wrothmonk> I just thought of something. Would it be possible to add my eidolon's perform roll to mine for day job?
23:35:29 <Mekkis> no
23:35:34 <Mekkis> they's been ruled
23:35:39 <Wrothmonk> Ah well, just a thought.
23:35:56 <Mekkis> after people were taking Skilled (Diplomacy) and getting a +21 at level 2
23:36:08 <Wrothmonk> A magic show with a dragon appearing and disappearing would be fun.
23:36:33 <Mekkis> also: consider eschewing that rank in perform until you've got ranks in more... applicable skills...
23:37:00 <Mekkis> are those wings too small?
23:37:04 <Mekkis> tail too big?
23:37:50 <Wrothmonk> Wings look fine, tail is a bit long for now.
23:39:21 <Wrothmonk> I'll be getting the evolution later for a proper tail so its fine
23:40:59 <Wrothmonk> I have two more skill I can make favored classes. I'm not sure what to make them though.
23:41:11 <Wrothmonk> class skills*
23:41:16 <Wrothmonk> not favored classes
23:41:25 <Wrothmonk> I'm getting a bit tired, sorry
23:41:31 <Mekkis> perception
23:41:39 <Wrothmonk> already class skill
23:43:03 <Wrothmonk> fly will be a class skill when I get the wing evolution
23:45:17 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, http://nl.ti4200.info/Karajix2.png
23:45:23 <Mekkis> Knowledge (Dungeoneering)
23:45:28 <Mekkis> or Disable Device
23:46:04 <Wrothmonk> disable device with no arms/hands?
23:46:31 <Wrothmonk> this is for the eidolon btw
23:50:28 <Mekkis> hmmm
23:50:39 <Wrothmonk> climb?
23:51:06 <Mekkis> not going to use it with flight
23:51:33 <Mekkis> Sense Motive?
23:51:44 <Wrothmonk> Not going to get flight until level 5
23:52:07 <Wrothmonk> already class skill for eidolons
23:52:27 <Mekkis> disguise?
23:53:23 <Wrothmonk> disguising a dragon would be a bit of a high dc I think...
23:54:24 <Mekkis> it's to disguise that stupid glowing rune
23:54:33 <Wrothmonk> Ah
23:54:41 <Wrothmonk> kinda forgot that...
23:55:01 <Wrothmonk> I'll be buying a hat for my gnome.
23:55:13 <Mekkis> that's one reason Itzamna wears a turban
23:55:36 <Mekkis> (and the eidolon, a mechanical spider, is COVERED in glowing runes...)
23:56:13 <Wrothmonk> hem what kind of hat should I get
23:57:44 <Wrothmonk> Ah got it!
23:58:13 <Mekkis> http://nl.ti4200.info/~mekkis/Gnome.png
23:58:32 <Wrothmonk> wait no...
23:58:34 Hydrazine has quit (Ping timeout: 181 seconds)
23:58:39 <Wrothmonk> ok thats interesting looking
