13:05 Mew has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
24:56 <Avatar> changing deities because you want to and changing it because it's not legal are two different things
25:07 <Avatar> I don't think I asked about it
25:08 <Mekkis> I know
25:18 <Mekkis> http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2pkr3?What-happens-to-a-Cleric-that-changes-Patron
25:20 <Mekkis> Someone did
25:27 <Mekkis> just after we discussed it here
25:39 <Avatar> I asked about alignment
29:00 <Avatar> do you guys prefer full screen CA or half-screen
29:10 <Avatar> as in big maps or smaller maps
29:10 <Mekkis> neither
29:13 <Mekkis> I use windowed
29:22 <Avatar> yeah it's always windowed
29:32 <Avatar> but do you want it to take up the full screen with bigger maps or less screen space with smaller
29:54 <Mekkis> I think the main concern is making sure that the map isn't more than 900 pixels high
30:01 <Mekkis> width doesn't really matter
30:13 <Mekkis> well, it used to be
30:34 <Mekkis> now I just use the zoom stuff
30:54 <Avatar> can you send out your copy of the zoom one
31:01 <Avatar> I wouldn't mind seeing it
31:45 <Mekkis> I haven't been able to build it for windows recently: my static build environment's out of date
32:10 <Mekkis> if you don't mind downloading the qt compiler, the sourcecode's out
32:11 <Avatar> make a youtube video
32:25 <Avatar> I wouldn't trust myself
35:44 <Wrothmonk> I wouldn't trust x11
35:56 <Wrothmonk> its still not even working properly
36:07 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, then open up the terminal
36:22 <Mekkis> and run ps aux | grep x11
36:35 <Mekkis> and ps aux | grep Xorg
36:44 <Mekkis> and kill every matching process
37:14 <Mekkis> it won't do permanent damage to your computer
37:29 <Mekkis> but it will prevent you from using any sort of graphics
42:04 Tashes has quit (EOF from client)
44:21 <Wrothmonk> That may not work, the problem is with that QT doesn't recognize the fact that X11 is now Xquartz
45:41 <Wrothmonk> But I'll give it a shot I guess.
45:41 <Mekkis> I remember that one of my friends who used to develop qt at nokia kept saying how Apple was great at breaking everything
45:58 <Mekkis> oh
46:03 <Mekkis> it won't help
46:21 <Mekkis> except that it will illustrate how much a hypocrit you are about not trusting X11
46:22 <Wrothmonk> Thats odd
47:52 <Wrothmonk> I think I got the wrong version last time, its installed now
51:32 <Avatar> can someone connect to CA to help test
51:34 <Avatar> 124.148.158.190
51:39 <Wrothmonk> build?
51:44 <Avatar> your favourite
51:53 <Avatar> 135 is best
52:10 <Avatar> just need to check my connection since I got a new router
52:16 <Avatar> I don't know if 4000 is forwarded properly or not
52:36 <Wrothmonk> connected
52:41 <Wrothmonk> I see nothing though
52:50 <Avatar> now?
52:51 <Wrothmonk> got an island
52:56 <Wrothmonk> gone
53:04 <Avatar> should be a second tab
53:05 <Wrothmonk> A road
53:09 <Wrothmonk> map 2
53:12 <Avatar> is it actually loading the mpa
53:14 <Avatar> or do you already have it
53:19 <Wrothmonk> map 1 is the island
53:29 <Avatar> yeah but this seems to be immediate
53:38 <Wrothmonk> map 3 opened
53:49 <Wrothmonk> ok now I got a weird looking dude
54:15 <Wrothmonk> Now a different guy on map 4
54:20 <Avatar> okay cool thanks
54:22 <Wrothmonk> its practically instant
54:26 <Avatar> you know both of those guys
54:44 <Wrothmonk> ?
54:50 <Avatar> the second guy is Nester Rees, the guy who did the negotiation
54:58 <Wrothmonk> Ah
55:10 <Avatar> the first one is venture captain Drandle Dreng
55:29 <Avatar> we make the mistake of not showing pictures of these VC's
59:30 <Mekkis> ok
59:52 <Mekkis> recorded
00:00 <Avatar> link
00:19 <Mekkis> hasn't finished encoding
02:07 <Mekkis> it'll be at http://nl.ti4200.info/~mekkis/cazoom.ogv when it's uploaded
02:14 <Mekkis> probably 10 minutes or so
02:31 <Mekkis> the video is pretty jerky, but that's because of the way the video works
02:40 <Mekkis> there aren't any performance issues
08:46 <Avatar> why were some of the season 0 scenarios retired
08:57 <Avatar> was it just too easy to die 
09:08 <Avatar> or required too much guesswork on the GMs part?
10:18 <Mekkis> the quality control wasn't particularly good - I mean, they didn't particularly know what they were making back then
10:24 <Mekkis> but as far as I can tell
10:36 <Mekkis> (out of the two now-retired scenarios I've played)
11:27 <Mekkis> the first PFS scenario I ever played during the first encounter, the GM asked Buhlman "what happens if a player gets petrified?"
11:50 <Mekkis> we then ended up fighting a 108hp assassin vine
12:10 <Mekkis> (with 15' reach and a grapple modifier around +17
12:12 <Avatar> players can get petrified in regular scenarios though
12:24 <Mekkis> sure
12:55 <Avatar> was that a tier 1-5?
12:55 <Mekkis> but this was with the 3.5e cockatrice, which doesn't have the "bleed it and release depetrifying juices" thing
13:02 <Mekkis> 1-7, I think
13:06 <Mekkis> played at tier 3-4
13:31 <Avatar> I'm not too familiar with what happens with petrification
13:38 <Avatar> transmute stone to mud doesn't work from what I recall
13:58 <Mekkis> stone to flesh or break enchantment
14:09 <Mekkis> or limited wish, wish or miracle
14:19 <Avatar> bit like being feebleminded then
14:30 <Mekkis> sure
14:38 <Mekkis> but that doesn't happen at tier 1-5
14:45 <Avatar> haha yeah
15:05 <Mekkis> and the second scenario that I played, which I really enjoyed
15:19 <Mekkis> sorry: second now-retired scenario
15:50 <Mekkis> was one where it is possible, through no fault of the players at all, to cause a total TPK
16:15 <Mekkis> (Asmodeus Mirage)
16:26 <Mekkis> which is a bit of a pity, as it's a great scenario
16:29 <Avatar> through no fault of the players?
16:34 <Avatar> seems a bit hard to believe
17:24 <Mekkis>   The PCs have exactly 24 hours to exit the Asmodeus
17:24 <Mekkis> Mirage. Anyone still in the Mirage after 24 hours is
17:24 <Mekkis> there for the next 100 years or until they die, whichever
17:24 <Mekkis> comes f irst. Any living PC caught in the Mirage is
17:24 <Mekkis> considered dead for Pathf inder Society Organized
17:24 <Mekkis> Play purposes. 
17:56 <Avatar> yeah, so get out
18:19 <Mekkis> Once
18:19 <Mekkis> inside, randomly determine which of the
18:19 <Mekkis> four encounters the PCs travel toward
18:19 <Mekkis> and consult the map on page 5. 
18:51 <Mekkis> The travel time [1d3 hours, can be reduced by survival checks] can never be reduced to below 1 hour. 
18:52 <Avatar> can't they go through all 4 of them and then be out
19:14 <Avatar> max 12 hours
19:27 <Mekkis> The
19:27 <Mekkis> PCs can always attempt to walk toward
19:27 <Mekkis> the trail leading back up to the Guide’s
19:27 <Mekkis> Camp from any of the Mirage’s four
19:27 <Mekkis> encounter locations. Roll 1d4 when the
19:27 <Mekkis> PCs attempt this—on a result of 1, they
19:27 <Mekkis> make it out of the Mirage. On a result
19:27 <Mekkis> of 2–4, they instead head to one of the
19:27 <Mekkis> four adventure locations. Attempting to leave the Mirage takes 1d4 hours
19:45 <Avatar> oh god
20:31 <Mekkis> that being said
20:39 <Mekkis> it's still a GREAT scenario
22:38 <Avatar> I think you ran it for us once
22:43 <Mekkis> I did
22:53 <Avatar> don't remember how it ended
23:04 <Mekkis> remember Enkendu?
23:10 <Avatar> nope
23:15 <Mekkis> the dragon
23:24 <Mekkis> with the DC39 will save DC
24:04 <Avatar> yeah I remember the dragon
24:12 <Avatar> I don't remember a high DC
24:15 <Avatar> you might not have told us about that
24:21 <Avatar> or I might have forgotten
24:34 <Avatar> er, is that how we died
25:03 <Mekkis> you didn't die
25:14 <Mekkis> I'm pretty sure you were successful
26:33 <Mekkis> reading the scenario, some of the 6-7 stuff is interesting
26:42 <Mekkis> not sure how balanced it would be
26:50 <Mekkis> probably pretty good
28:17 <Mekkis> also has a pretty neat boon
28:52 <Mekkis> One Day, Mytiazair will meet a Gnoll of Western Katapesh, and will be able to say "ha! I get +1 to diplomacy or intimidate!"
30:28 <Steven> what up.
31:35 <Avatar> what up
31:46 <Avatar> let's play a 7-11
34:24 <Avatar> red harvest actually looks like quite a difficult scenario to run
34:31 <Avatar> I'll have to have a good read
34:45 <Mekkis> I felt that there were three paths
35:55 <Mekkis> video should be up now Avatar 
38:11 <Avatar> how are you zooming
38:20 <Avatar> that looks like a series of pictures put together
40:13 <Mekkis> mouse wheel
40:19 <Mekkis> sorry
40:31 <Mekkis> not sure how to get the screen recorder to work
40:53 <Avatar> fraps maybe
47:03 <Mekkis> but you get the idea, right?
47:14 <Mekkis> scroll the mouse wheel to zoom in and out
53:15 <Avatar> yeah
53:19 <Avatar> it's a good idea
58:16 <Steven> figured out what im going to make for my next character if i have to play another level 1 for first steps
59:05 <Avatar> jesus, 3am
59:07 <Avatar> bedtime
59:17 <Steven> pffffffft only 3am?

28:23 <Ulzef_zzzZZZzzz> do that then i am easy i have harvest anyway well provided it goes ahead
35:36 <bendog> hey dicejockys
36:34 <Mekkis> hey
36:56 <bendog> i have an non PFS but pf-related question
37:03 <Mekkis> sure
37:28 <Mekkis> as long as it's not "How does stealth/darkness work" I think we can answer it
37:36 <bendog> i have an elven paladin i'm playing in regular PF with a real life group... don't start on the odd race choice
37:49 <Mekkis> so far so good
38:15 <bendog> i'm a gap filler characters for the group 
38:35 <Mekkis> interesting that a Paladin would fill the gap, but it might be the case
38:47 <Mekkis> where's the question?
38:51 <bendog> so i switch between range / sword and shield 
38:59 <bendog> well, it's coming
39:02 <bendog> i just hit lvl 7 
39:12 <Mekkis> so you now get 3 smites /day
39:28 <bendog> i want to pick up improved crit (the one that doubles crit range for a wep)
39:42 <bendog> do i have to take a feat at lvl 7
39:42 <Mekkis> Sure... &Improved Critical is not a bad feat
39:55 <bendog> or can i wait for lvl 8 when my bab reaches the pre-req
40:03 <Mekkis> !feat Improved Critical
40:06 <diebot> Mekkis, IMPROVED CRITICAL [Combat]Prereq:  Proficient with weapon, base attack bonus +8.  Attacks made with your chosen weapon are quite deadly.
40:06 <diebot> Benefit:  When using the weapon you selected, your threat range is doubled.
40:07 <diebot> Special:  You can gain Improved Critical multiple times. The effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new type of weapon. This effect doesn't stack with any other effect that expands the threat range of a weapon. Source: Core
40:28 <Mekkis> Rules as Written, you can't "hold off" taking a feat
40:36 <bendog> BOO!
40:57 <bendog> there's not really anything as sexy as that i want to drop a feat on
41:11 <bendog> so i'll have to wait till 9
41:44 <Ballig> or take a level of fighter at 8th
41:57 <bendog> ok next part of teh question, i have to be proficient with the wep, as an elf i have proficency with everytihng "elven"
42:08 <Mekkis> sure
42:20 <Mekkis> and as a paladin you're proficient with everything simple and martial
42:32 <bendog> is there an elven 1H wep with a 18-20 threat range that does decent damage
42:51 <Mekkis> bendog, stop thinking that way
42:54 <bendog> i also like the idea of picking up finesse with it too 
43:03 <Ballig> why don't you smack his nose, Mekkis
43:04 <Mekkis> therein lies powergaming and Badstuff
43:05 <bendog> hence the elven thing 
43:12 <bendog> hahahahaa 
43:19 <Mekkis> but I think there's the elven curve blade
43:31 <bendog> isn't that a double hand?
43:54 <Ballig> yes
43:54 <bendog> i'll check it out... 
44:00 <Mekkis> or scimitar/rapier
44:12 <Ballig> it depends what your definition of decent damage is
44:24 <Mekkis> decent damage = 2 handed weapon with power attack
44:37 <Ballig> 1 handed weapons with 18-20 threat usually do d6 at medium size
45:21 <Mekkis> difference between d4 and d8 is only 2 damage, on average
45:33 <bendog> the reason i ask about weps, is because the DM via an NPC gave a reward of shaping any metal into any weapon of our choice 
45:44 <Ballig> by level 7 the majority of your damage should be coming from something other than the core weapon dice anyway
46:44 <bendog> as a paladin?
46:50 <Ballig> as anything
47:10 <Mekkis> by level 3, that should be the case
47:20 <bendog> hrmmm, this is my first PF character, and honestly first D&D (if i get rid of mucking about with friends at 13 years old)
47:23 <Mekkis> (gunslinger is a possible exception)
47:47 <Ballig> even with gunslinger they get most of their damage from bonuses
49:24 <bendog> fair point 
49:47 <bendog> so the greater crit threat range would make more of a difference than the damage dice 
50:00 <bendog> so my loss from going from a d8 to a d6 isn't that sad
50:03 <N2H4> Indeed.
50:48 <Mekkis> if you don't mind me asking, bendog, what is your damage output?
50:50 <bendog> also Ballig thanks for the tip about taking a multiclass level 
50:51 <N2H4> well, mathematically, a 19-20 crit range and a x3 crit weapon average the same.
51:12 <Mekkis> N2H4, almost, except you'll find that the x3 crit is overkill about half the time
51:35 <Ballig> and it's easier to increase the range than it is to increase the multiplier
51:55 <N2H4> Oh, I agree. But the fact that you don't need the extra doesn't make it less equal.
51:55 <bendog> Mekkis: as in my basic wep?
51:58 <Mekkis> yeah
52:10 <Mekkis> when you hit something, what are you rolling for damage
52:43 <bendog> 1d8+2 (not including smite or other things... i think... checking now)
53:07 <Ballig> that's pretty low for your level
53:23 <Mekkis> that's... extremely low for you level
53:44 <Ballig> I had a level 1 wizard that did better damage than that in melee
53:44 <Ballig> :P
53:44 <N2H4> What level?
53:47 <Ballig> level 7
53:54 <N2H4> Ouch.
54:47 <N2H4> No power attack or anythinh huh?
55:25 <bendog> i've got a bunch of spells which give bonuses 
55:31 <bendog> being a pally 
55:35 <bendog> weapon bond 
55:42 <Mekkis> my level 7 paladin is doing 1d10+19 damage with 15-20/x2 crit
55:59 <bendog> where did you get your +19?
56:15 <Mekkis> two-handed, power attack, +3 enhancement bonus
56:19 <Mekkis> and str of 24
56:52 <bendog> single handed long sword +1
57:12 <N2H4> so 9str+4str.5+3weapon+6pa?
57:15 <bendog> rolled not bought ability points 
57:35 <N2H4> oh. 7 str+3. I'm mathtarded.
58:25 <bendog> https://www.dropbox.com/s/2ofsgwm1ob6jdbp/Dogra.htm
01:01 <Mekkis> what's the availability of magic items in your campaign?
02:32 <bendog> not excessively available, but purchasable 
02:48 <bendog> as in we haven't got too many found magical items 
03:02 <Mekkis> also...
03:13 <Mekkis> what feats did you take?
03:25 <bendog> but we could probably buy things we needed, but they tend to cost a lot and we aren't in a rich environment

04:09 <Ballig> I mean, it's fair enough in this case because you shouldn't paste that much
04:12 <Ballig> but I worry about it kicking mort
04:15 <Mekkis> you get armour proficiency and weapon proficiency for free
04:16 <bendog> yeah sorry, 
04:43 <Mekkis> as I see it, you've taken Extra Lay on Hands (wtf?) Point-blank shot, and toughness
04:43 <bendog> i should have just done the 'bought' ones

06:59 <Mekkis> because if I were you, I'd focus on ranged attacks
07:07 <bendog> i was under the impression bonded wep was adjustable per day 
07:16 <Mekkis> I'm not sure
07:22 <bendog> i wont paste it
07:22 <Mekkis> my paladin doesn't have a bonded weapon
07:26 <bendog> but thats how i read it 
07:40 <bendog> it lasts for 1 min per level per day 
07:48 <bendog> on which ever wep you pick when calling for it 
08:32 <Mekkis> does anyone in your party have crafting feats?
08:40 <Mekkis> Craft Magical Arms and Armour, perhaps?
09:04 <bendog> i'm pretty sure no
10:33 <Mekkis> but what I'd do is sell off your two ioun stones, for 12000gp, spend the 12000gp to make your bow +2 (or +3 if someone has craft magical arms and armour), spend the rest on Bracers of Falcon's Aim, and take &deadly aim as a feat.
10:34 <diebot> IMPROVED CRITICAL [Combat]Prereq:  Proficient with weapon, base attack bonus +8.  Attacks made with your chosen weapon are quite deadly.
10:35 <diebot> Benefit:  When using the weapon you selected, your threat range is doubled.
10:35 <diebot> Special:  You can gain Improved Critical multiple times. The effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new type of weapon. This effect doesn't stack with any other effect that expands the threat range of a weapon. Source: Core
10:35 <diebot> DEADLY AIM [Combat]Prereq:  Dex 13, base attack bonus +1.  You can make exceptionally deadly ranged attacks by pinpointing a foe's weak spot, at the expense of making the attack less likely to succeed.
10:35 <diebot> Benefit:  You can choose to take a –1 penalty on all ranged attack rolls to gain a +2 bonus on all ranged damage rolls. When your base attack bonus reaches +4, and every +4 thereafter, the penalty increases by –1 and the bonus to damage increases by +2. You must choose to use this feat before making an attack roll and its effects last until
10:35 <diebot> your next turn. The bonus damage does not apply to touch attacks or effects that do not deal hit point damage. Source: Core
12:01 <Mekkis> if you've got any money left over, spend it on a belt of strength or dex
12:11 <bendog> cheers
12:21 <bendog> does dicebot look up gear?
12:28 <Mekkis> no, diebot does
12:41 <Mekkis> only magical stuff though
12:46 <Mekkis> feats, spells and magic items
13:35 <bendog> like the falcons aim wrists?
13:49 <N2H4> I think I agree that the wording looks like you can divine bond any weapon you happen to feel like at the moment.
13:53 <Mekkis> y!item Bracers of falcon's aim

13:58 <diebot> Each of these crimson leather bracers is emblazoned with the image of a soaring golden falcon scanning the ground for easy prey. They continually grant the wearer the benefits of the aspect of the falcon spell, though without the spell's physical transformation. Source: Ultimate Equipment

14:20 <diebot> Mekkis, ASPECT OF THE FALCON transmutation (polymorph[]) druid 1, ranger 1 1 standard action Range: personal you Comp: V, S, DF Duration: 1 minute/level Save:  SR:
14:21 <diebot> You take on an aspect of a falcon. Your eyes become wide and raptor-like, and you grow feathers on the sides of your head. You gain a +3 competence bonus on Perception checks, a +1 competence bonus on ranged attacks, and the critical multiplier for your bows and crossbows becomes 19-20/x3. This effect does not stack with any other effect that
14:21 <diebot> expands the threat range of a weapon, such as the Improved Critical feat or a keen weapon.
14:35 <bendog> HOT
14:56 <N2H4> 19-20 bow? That is pretty sweet.
15:09 <N2H4> Smite evil... from over there.
17:22 <bendog> thanks for the tips
18:02 <bendog> i will def enquite about the bracers of falcons aim, they're pretty sexy
26:45 <Mekkis> Ballig, could you advertise Shades of Ice I, starting at 2:30pm AEDT tomorrow?
28:00 <Mekkis> in.. ummm... 21 hours time
28:04 <bendog> whats the level requirement for that.... wait i should be working
28:52 <Mekkis> 1-5
29:30 <bendog> highly tempted to ignore work for it

35:19 <bendog> which would require me to make a PFS character 
35:25 <Mekkis> :)
35:38 <Mekkis> or use a pregen
35:50 <bendog> is there a set of pregens somewhere?
36:06 <Mekkis> there is, but it's a lot better to use your own character
36:16 <Mekkis> what sort of character do you have in mind?
36:48 Steven ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
36:52 <Steven> yo
37:42 <bendog> i've been toying with the idea of playing a bone oracle 
37:55 <Mekkis> Steven, you around tomorrow
37:55 <bendog> using the undead rather than smiting them
38:01 <Mekkis> in about 21 hours time?
39:39 <Steven> i dont plan on dying, so yeah i should be around.
39:53 <Mekkis> I'll be running Shades of Ice I
41:58 <Steven> cool?
42:05 <Steven> i just played it tonight...
42:15 <Mekkis> oh
42:24 <Steven> i played my arcane druid
42:52 <Steven> no one could figure out what class i was
43:06 <Mekkis> summoner, obviously
43:14 <Mekkis> :)
43:27 <Steven> nope
44:33 <Steven> i should run something

51:53 <Avatar> game is scheduled
53:30 <Brunius-> The 6th isn't over the Easter weekend, is it
54:04 <Steven> tryin to decide what i should run.
54:33 <Avatar> easter weekend is the end of this month
55:05 <Steven> hmmmmmm....
55:11 <Steven> maybe Among the living
56:23 <Avatar> I haven't played that yet
56:33 <Avatar> kapow said ages ago he was going to run it but never ended up doing it 
56:45 <Mekkis> I haven't played it either
57:55 <Avatar> I've played among the dead, I can run that one afterwards
58:13 <Brunius-> Don't think I've played either
58:33 <Steven> ugh.....
58:38 <Steven> this map sucks dick.
59:28 <Steven> i dont think even a hungarian whore house could suck more dick than this map
00:53 <Steven> 19 tall and 19 wide... and busy as fuck
03:52 <Steven> i actually shaved my head with a razor today... people kept trying to feel my head.
04:07 <Avatar> have you done that before
04:18 <Steven> not since i was.... 7
04:37 <Avatar> you look bald in your skype photo
04:49 <Avatar> maybe it's the beard
05:34 <Steven> no, now i look bald in my skype photo

12:18 <Steven> i must have been drunk last time i did a major update of my scenarios played
12:35 <Steven> I have like 4 scenarios marked that i havent played.
13:06 <Avatar> good one
13:11 Brunius- has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
13:22 <Avatar> have you played red harvest
13:28 <Steven> nope
15:16 <Steven> um.... I will play Honey.  Can we just say nobody dies and you just give everyone credit?
15:17 <Avatar> join in on saturday
15:31 <Avatar> how about I just say Honey dies
15:43 <Avatar> where's your spirit of adventure
15:47 <Steven> you can say it, but it wont happen.
16:27 <Avatar> I've been going over it today and last night again, I'm quite chuffed about running it
16:33 RelentlessImp has quit (EOF from client)
16:55 <Steven> im just playin, i probably wont play it on honey, i think either tommorrow or tuesday getting together with the local goof group and playing something.
17:33 <Steven> Probably play either my Polearm Master or Gunquisitor
19:48 <Steven> theres only ever been one scenario that challenged honey to keep people alive.
22:27 <Steven> two erinyes with a group that no one had pots of fly except me.
22:48 <Steven> after the fight, Honey Lectured everyone in the group on preparedness
23:35 <Steven> brb gonna go start a fire
26:08 Brunius ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
28:49 <Avatar> bloody hell, aasimars don't get a druid favoured class option
31:22 <Steven> why they need one?
33:48 <Steven> and why are you chuffed... also what the fuck is chuffed
34:13 <Avatar> red harvest is the best PFS scenario there is
34:41 <Steven> i disagree
35:00 <Avatar> what's your opinion
35:14 <Avatar> you haven't even played it !
36:09 <Steven> I like Frost fur Captives
36:30 <Avatar> frostfur captives is good
36:35 <Avatar> but it is a joke compared to this
38:11 <Steven> meh.... trying to gain access to a [redacted] is less cool than smuggling [redacted] out of [redacted]
38:46 <Avatar> you don't know what you're talking about clearly
39:46 <Steven> i dont want to spoil the game for anyone who plays
39:58 <Steven> but i have read red harvest
40:12 <Avatar> spoilerz
40:19 <Avatar> did you plan to run it
40:31 <Steven> yeah, i plan on running every scenario
40:42 <Steven> so i have gone through and read everything but eyes of the ten.
41:03 <Avatar> but if you read them all without having played through them and you don't end up running them for months, isn't that potentially spoiling it in case you get a chance to play it
41:07 <Steven> that way its stored somewhere in my long term memmory, increasing my ability to run something cold without screwing it up.
41:47 <Brunius> I still remember significant details about Beggar's Pearl
41:54 <Brunius> Which I ran more than a year ago now
44:48 <Steven> I know lots of stuff i shouldnt know about lots of scenarios.  When sitting down to play i am pretty damn good about seperating ooc from in character knowledge
45:56 <Steven> mostly my ooc knowledge focuses on tactics
46:19 <Steven> because i want to make combats memorable if i can
47:16 <Steven> my favorite tactic i ever employed was having the boss ready a sanctuary spell if someone attacked her.
47:32 <Steven> she started doing her monologue and the gunslinger was like yah i shoot her.
47:42 <Avatar> how many of your characters have died
47:44 <Steven> okay... roll me a will save.
47:56 <Steven> 5 deaths now.
48:12 <Steven> he rolled a 7
48:19 <Steven> no 6, i died in day of the demon
52:08 <Steven> before that was honey needed a BoL which imo counts as a death.
52:53 <Steven> only two characters have ever needed a raise dead though
53:02 <Steven> Folnor and my dirge bard
54:26 <Steven> I am pretty far below the curve when it comes to death, but thats because all my characters are well provisioned once they reach level 3
00:14 <Mekkis> I still remember details about Darkest Vengeance, which I ran in 2011
01:10 <Steven> i scheduled that like a week back.  they didnt have much trouble
03:25 <Avatar> yeah not much
04:38 <Avatar> oops, steven said that
04:39 <Avatar> I thought mekkis said it
13:27 <Mekkis> Steven, do you consider surviving due to the &dream journal of the pallid seer dying?
25:30 <Avatar> I might buy what lies in dust before conquest
36:48 <Mekkis> Avatar, you should run Council of Thieves for us!
49:29 <Mekkis> !feat Charge Through
49:30 <diebot> Mekkis, CHARGE THROUGH [Combat]Prereq:  Str 13, Improved Overrun, Power Attack, base attack bonus +1.  You can overrun enemies when charging.
49:31 <diebot> Benefit:  When making a charge, you can attempt to overrun one creature in the path of the charge as a free action. If you successfully overrun that creature, you can complete the charge. If the overrun is unsuccessful, the charge ends in the space directly in front of that creature. 
49:31 <diebot> Normal:  You must have a clear path toward the target of your charge. Source: APG
50:01 <Mekkis> wow
50:09 <Mekkis> that looks like a feat for Ari
51:19 <Mekkis> wow
51:22 <Mekkis> Sprint
51:37 <Mekkis> I charge you from 1805' away
53:51 Ulzef ([email protected]) has joined #d&d

56:15 <Ulzef> mekkis: where did you get the details for mike brocks visit 
59:42 <MekkisScreen> Grolschmir can travel at the speed of a 747... for 6 seconds
00:14 <MekkisScreen> thankfully, momentum doesn't really work in pathfinder
06:43 <Ulzef> yeah or lvl 20 monks running would die when they stop
11:02 <Ulzef> but i gotta gonave council of thieves atm talk later

03:53 <Mekkis> !spell SERREN'S ARMOR LOCK
04:01 <diebot> Mekkis, SERREN'S ARMOR LOCK transmutation ([]) magus 2, sorcerer/wizard 3, witch 3 1 standard action Range: medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) one armored creature Comp: V, S, M (a pinch of rust) Duration: 1 round/level (D) Save: Reflex partial; see text SR:yes
04:01 <diebot> Upon pointing at an armored foe, you cause all of the joints of the target's armor to stiffen as otherworldly chains wrap around the target. On a failed Reflex save, a target in heavy metal armor becomes staggered. A target in light or medium metal armor instead becomes entangled. Targets wearing no armor or nonmetallic armor are unaffected. If the
04:02 <diebot> target is wearing heavy metal armor and succeeds at its Reflex save, it becomes entangled instead of staggered; a target in light or medium metal armor that succeeds at its saving throw is unaffected by the spell.
