34:16 Avatar has changed the topic to: PFS: Thurs 16th 7:30pm (tier 1-7/1-5,Mekkis) / Fri 24th 6pm (tier 1-5,Avatar) | WotW: Sat 25th 1:30pm || All topic times are AEST (UTC+10:00); set up your timezone on the site for local times in the Schedule! | D&D and Pathfinder Online http://www.pfrpg.com.au

57:50 <Avatar> all I have to do is level down my inquisitor
57:54 <Steven> 8 hours from now would be 5pm for you right?
57:56 <Wrothmonk> and I just realized steven probably meant Australia-tonight which would be a school morning...
58:25 <Wrothmonk> its 5 pm in 2 minutes for me.
58:26 <Avatar> 4p
58:30 <Avatar> m
58:39 <Steven> hmmmm that would put it at 11pm for me.

59:17 <Avatar> I've gotta run
59:31 <Steven> see ya avatar, ill come back at midnight tonight see if im up for a game.
00:17 <Steven> So, my paladin is made for 3rd level right now, cause i wont be playing him till then.
01:59 <Steven> should probably go find a feat.
02:32 <Steven> plan on going 5 racial feat of sicken evil outsiders, 7th feat sornugon smash
02:44 <Steven> and im always gonna power attack vs evil outsiders
02:52 <Steven> make a free intimidate check
03:02 <Steven> to sicken/naseate them for a round
03:25 <Steven> cant wait for season 5!
05:57 <Steven> hmmmmm maybe ill take fey foundling to be a total dick!
06:15 <Steven> i LoH myself, 1d6+2 damage... what what!
06:33 <Steven> at level 10 thats 5d6+10
17:26 <Steven> so.... stoneplate or hellknight plate armor?
35:44 <Wrothmonk> for a paladin?
35:54 <Steven> yup
35:57 <Steven> im thinkin hellknight armor...
41:20 ragnar ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
42:31 <ragnar> hello
42:42 <Wrothmonk> Hello
42:59 <ragnar> im new to this soooooo ya
44:09 <Steven> yeah hellknight armor
44:47 <Wrothmonk> Can you actually legally buy hellknight armor without being a hellknight?
45:26 ragnar has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
45:29 <Wrothmonk> I'm sure you can wear it but I'm not sure about buying it... Seems kinda off, or at least not truthful.
46:25 <Steven> yes, you can legally buy hellknight armor without being a hellknight
59:21 <Steven> alright so 5 levels of paladin, then 6 levels of hellknight, one level of whatever the hell else i want.
00:58 <Steven> suppose ill just go 7 levels of hellknight
03:15 <Steven> i dunno... if i got to 6th level of hellknight i can pick an ability that makes people frightened of me
03:27 <Steven> when i intimidate
03:32 <Brunius|M> Avatar, didn't I play the disappeared at the same time as you??
03:44 <Steven> which i can do as a free action when i power attack
04:05 <Steven> so power attack, intimidate check, its frightened
04:29 <Steven> all i gotta do is hit... which should be super easy

28:07 <Wrothmonk> So, status on portal 2?
39:43 <Falang> installed I imagine
39:57 <Falang> Yep
40:15 <Falang> I gotta run in about 50 minutes to drop my female off somewhere.
41:17 <Wrothmonk> Should be enough time for the intro and maybe the first two puzzles
41:31 <Wrothmonk> depending on how good you are at portal.
41:32 <Falang> I'm up and running
41:38 <Wrothmonk> K
42:10 <Wrothmonk> Start portal two and hit play co-op, it should come up with your ist of friends to invite
42:21 <Wrothmonk> wait no, then youd be hosting the server..
42:42 <Wrothmonk> I should probably be the one inviting.
43:49 <Falang> wtf
43:53 <Wrothmonk> ?
44:01 <Wrothmonk> oh
44:03 <Falang> okay, as you like. Well it shows you're playing and I'm just stuck at the invite screen
44:17 <Wrothmonk> yeah theres a delay
44:25 <Falang> of how many minutes?
44:30 <Wrothmonk> 5 tops
44:45 <Wrothmonk> generally 1 or two
21:34 <Falang> awesomenauts laer?
21:36 <Falang> later
33:43 <Wrothmonk> Sure
03:41 <Falang> whew. back.
03:58 <Falang> realy need to spend some time working on my campaign..
05:56 <Falang> need to get Avatar in on this, I see he has it too.

26:28 <Rignesis> hey wizzards and warriors
27:36 <Rignesis> why are there 5 boxes of character level in invite game page?
34:58 <Steven> because it lets you specify you have up to 5 different character levels available for a game
35:31 <Steven> like lets say there was an offering for a 1-5 game and you have characters that are level 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
35:57 <Steven> meaning no matter what teir everyone decides to bring you have a character thats level ready
36:06 <Rignesis> oh
36:23 <Rignesis> alright - i thought piezo said only 1 character allowed :)
37:13 <Rignesis> oh wait - if everyone brings for example lvl 2 - and i bring lvl 1 - that means i cant play?
37:55 <Steven> no
38:03 <Rignesis> unspecific
38:10 <Rignesis> no - cant play or doesnt matter
38:20 <Steven> you arent playing every character, you are playing one of your characters.
38:41 <Steven> but you have characters of level 1 through 5.
38:49 <Rignesis> phew
38:51 <Rignesis> thanks
38:51 <Steven> and not caring which one plays you list all 5
54:58 <Falang> or if you had two characters, as I do, one at 1st level and one at 3rd level, you would put '1 3'
05:23 <Steven> or be like me, have characters at 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10
05:33 <Steven> i used to have one at every level between 1 and 12
05:36 <Steven> but i leveled them up
07:33 <Mekkis> mine is more 2 4 6 8 9 10 11.
09:13 <Mekkis> Steven, can you recommend any prestige classes for a wizard specialising in scrollreading?
18:47 <Steven> yes i can
27:42 <Mekkis> please do
27:53 <Steven> cyphermage
27:57 <Mekkis> hmm
28:35 Brunius_ has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
30:53 <Mekkis> the thing is, I'm quite partial to the Scrollmaster wizard archetype
31:07 <Mekkis> At 10th level, the scrollmaster can cast a Wizard spell from a scroll and use his own Intelligence score and relevant feats to set the DC for the spell, and can use his own caster level if it is higher than that of the scroll (similar to a caster using a staff ).
31:25 <Mekkis> is it better to go wizard 5 / cyphermage?
31:36 <Mekkis> or to go wizard 10, then cyphermage?
33:14 <Mekkis> As I see it, cyphermage doesn't give anything better than that...
33:23 <Mekkis> or have I missed Something Important
36:04 <Steven> you missed something important
36:34 <Mekkis> what?
37:15 <Steven> you never said you were basing the wizard levels off of scrollmaster
37:51 <Mekkis> I'm considering it.
41:08 <Steven> if you go scrollmaster go to 10 and then pick up two levels of cyphermage
41:58 <Mekkis> this isn't PFS, but it seems like the best idea I've been able to come up with
42:05 <Steven> oh its not pfs?
42:14 <Mekkis> this is Operation: Abuse the Shield Of The Mage.
42:35 <Mekkis> !item Shield of the Mage
42:36 * Steven cracks neck and puts on his munchkin gloves
42:37 <diebot> Mekkis, SHIELD OF THE MAGE [moderate divination] CL:11 shield 14500gp, 5lb
42:38 <diebot> This caster's shield always has one arcane scroll and knows the same arcane spells as the wielder. When the spell on the scroll is cast, another scroll of a spell the wielder knows randomly manifests to replace it. The shield has no arcane spell failure. The shield can also read magic. It will often debate with its wielder for the most devastating
42:38 <diebot> course of action, but does what the wielder commands. Source: Ultimate Equipment
43:14 <Falang> Wow. That's nice.
43:16 <Mekkis> So the wizard has incinerated his spellbook, and only knows two 3rd level spells: Battering Blast and Lightning Bolt
44:59 <Mekkis> any way to apply metamagic to a scroll?
45:39 <Steven> wait, were those the spells dictated to you or did you pick them?
46:17 <Mekkis> I picked them
46:23 <Mekkis> can you think of better third level spells?
46:34 <Mekkis> to cast at CL11, at-will?
47:46 <Mekkis> !hp 9d6m3
47:48 <diebot> Mekkis, 65
47:51 <Mekkis> !hp 10d6m3
47:52 <diebot> Mekkis, 72
50:08 <Mekkis> hmm
50:10 <Mekkis> 5th level spells?
50:28 <Steven> okay back
50:40 <Steven> sorry yes, i may have some different spells for you to consider
50:57 <Mekkis> I'm all ears
52:03 <Steven> there it is!
52:11 <Steven> i hate how d20 had to change all the names
52:32 <Steven> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/prestige-classes/other-paizo/c-d/magaambyan-arcanist
52:54 <Steven> is a caster class thats pretty awesome if you are good.
53:05 <Steven> cast good spells at +1CL
54:39 <Steven> so why exactly is it 3rd level spells that you are picking from?
54:52 <Mekkis> The Shield of the Mage
54:56 <Mekkis> it's a Caster's Shield
55:11 <Mekkis> so it has a scroll of a spell I know, at random, of spell level less than 3
55:17 <Mekkis> less than or equal to
55:32 <Mekkis> because I incinerated my spellbook, I only know two third-level spells
55:55 <Mekkis> they are - subject to your suggestions - Battering Blast and Lightning Bolt.
57:40 <Steven> i
57:49 <Steven> i would probably get rid of battering blast
57:54 <Steven> and go with Mad Monkies
58:41 <Mekkis> I don't hate my GM that much
58:59 <Steven> yes you do. your flagarantly abusing a magical item.
59:02 <Mekkis> (otherwise I'd use Summon Monster III)
59:09 <Steven> in for a penny in for a pound.
59:23 <Steven> mad monkies... go go.
03:57 <Mekkis> Any Dex belts worth looking at that aren't the standard ones?
05:11 <Steven> depends, you goin mad monkies?
06:02 <Mekkis> !item monkey belt
06:02 <Mekkis> ?
06:03 <diebot> Mekkis, MONKEY BELT [moderate transmutation] CL:8 belt 9400gp, 1lb
06:03 <diebot> This furry brown belt resembles the tail of a monkey. The belt grants the wearer a +2 enhancement bonus to Dexterity. Treat this as a temporary ability bonus for the first 24 hours the belt is worn. The wearer does not lose his Dexterity bonus to AC while climbing, and does not take a -5 penalty on Climb checks when climbing at half his speed. As a
06:03 <diebot> swift action the wearer can command the belt to animate, transforming it into a prehensile tail under the wearer's control. The tail does not grant the wearer any additional attacks or actions per round, nor can it wield weapons, but it can make unarmed attacks and hold or manipulate objects about as well as the wearer's normal limbs (though any
06:03 <diebot> activity requiring fingers is beyond the tail's capabilities). The belt can function as a tail for 5 minutes per day. These minutes do not need to be consecutive. Source: Ultimate Equipment
10:25 <Steven> elemental earth belt is pretty sweet
10:29 <Mekkis> Hmmm... I'm 40gp overspent
11:23 <Mekkis> meh... means I'll need to find 40gp of diamond dust before I get my permanency arcane sight
18:08 <Mekkis> Anything Like mirror image, but higher level?
19:11 <Mekkis> Ah Shocking Image

12:52 <Avatar> need to remember to ask wrothmonk if he wants to opt out of all these night games I'm scheduling
14:30 <Avatar> I think I'm ditching my inquisitor
14:35 <Avatar> I don't know why I made him
14:42 <Avatar> he's going the way of my cleric
14:52 <Avatar> levelling up a character I don't really like to begin with
15:52 <Avatar> inquisitor is basically a cleric/ranger, the 2 classes in pathfinder I don't like
17:32 <Rignesis> why ballig calls you a jerk in about info of combat assistant?, avatar?
17:40 <Mekkis> because he is
17:43 <Mekkis> !
17:45 <Avatar> that's an excellent question
17:50 <Avatar> Mekkis: read your pm, jerk
17:54 <Mekkis> I did
17:55 <Mekkis> jerk
18:02 <Avatar> so you're ignoring me !
18:05 <Mekkis> no
18:32 <Brunius> Avatar: Why were you enquiring about me last night

24:54 Romaq ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
25:06 * Romaq takes a look around...
25:08 <Avatar> Romaq
25:12 <Avatar> roll up a character !!
25:32 <Romaq> ?
25:45 <Avatar> are you here for pathfinder
26:19 <Romaq> Yes. My wife is interested in PFS Online. Not "MMORPG", but being able to play PFS for credit.
26:31 <Romaq> I just thought I'd poke in here and see if it was alive. :)
27:18 <Avatar> mmorpg is a joke
27:26 <Avatar> do you play PFS
27:35 <Avatar> what levels are your character/s
27:43 <Romaq> Yes. Mine is level 2, hers is level 1.
27:52 <Avatar> newbies
27:56 <Romaq> Yes.
28:06 <Avatar> american?
28:23 <Romaq> Yes, but we work nights. So we would tend to head to bed about 9pm Sydney time.
28:58 <Avatar> as in about 4am your time?
29:17 <Romaq> Somewhere between 5pm and 7pm PST.
30:05 <Romaq> So I wasn't really considering actual 'play', as such, but poking around to see what was available that would contribute to PFS credit, and how it worked since you can't hand me a Chronicle Sheet hand-signed.
30:15 <Romaq> I mean, play 'now/ tonight', that is.
30:26 <Avatar> we hand out PDF chronicle sheets
30:46 <Avatar> nobody except the most hardened GMs are going to care if it's not hand signed
30:51 <Romaq> But looking at options for weekends when we want to play, but most people tend not to play at their midnight. :D
30:56 <Avatar> I've only heard of one of those ever
31:32 <Romaq> I don't think that will be a problem with our group. They never even glanced at our sheets, though we are using Hero Lab and we are fussy about honesty, and making sure we count our copper pieces.
31:35 <Avatar> the only other thing aside from playing to contribute to PFS credit is GMing for it
31:57 <Avatar> nobody glances at chronicles here either, unless your character sheet is seriously seriously out of whack
32:08 <Avatar> even then it's rare
32:18 <Avatar> you don't sound like you don't know what you're doing
32:35 <Romaq> Well, cheating would be pretty stupid. Mistakes, sure. My wife confused "Platinum Pieces" with "Prestige Points", which is pretty easy to do when you don't know the software.
33:09 <Romaq> I've done some GM sessions, but I'm painfully new to the game, and the only reason I started GM'ing was at the time, nobody was available on weekends to do it.
33:22 <Avatar> we play using IRC for chat, skype for voice, and combat assistant (CA) for mapping
33:24 <Steven> Romaq, even hardened GMs cannot turn away a legal chronicle sheet.  If they have a problem while auditing your character they can have issue at which point you ask them to contact their VO and get confirmation on the sheet or you can log in and show them you did infact play the game or you can ask them to contact the GM that played.  If they continue to have issue and refuse to let you apply the 
33:25 <Steven> sheet to your character YOU contact your VO and tell them the problem and let the VO handle it.
33:30 <Romaq> Now we have a group that does it on a different night, so I'm going with "learn the freakin' game" over doing the GM.
33:42 <Avatar> Steven: even unsigned?
34:00 <Mekkis> Avatar, did you need me to send you the signed chronicle sheets?
34:11 <Romaq> Carol is looking over my shoulder.
34:15 <Avatar> initialled ones work for me
34:36 <Steven> they can put it aside and ask you to get the chronicle sheet filled in fully.  Which people here do as far as i have seen.
34:57 <Romaq> My typing speed is reasonable, I've played on MUCKs and such. She's more shy, but eager to play. And Skype for voice is just dandy. :D
35:15 <Steven> but Table Audits have no authority past that specific table unless its a VO/Campaign Staff doing the audit.
35:50 <Brunius> I've never even seen an audit
35:54 <Avatar> Romaq: everyone fits in straight away, if you want to play, just accept an invite to a game
36:11 <Steven> its why if you find a major flaw you think is intentional you need to contact your VO
36:13 <Avatar> and get ready well before the game so you're ready to go before the day
36:50 <Steven> avatar what time you get off work tomorrow?
36:51 <Romaq> Yeah. After a game we tidy the chronicle sheets and so on.
37:00 <Avatar> 5ish
37:08 <Steven> play a game?
37:24 <Avatar> it's kind of more complicated now that I don't want to play the inquisitor, I have to rebuild from scratch
37:30 <Romaq> Even though I don't want to GM on a regular basis just yet, I'm trying to be prepared to do so if we can talk friends into trying it.
37:39 <Steven> start time around..... 545-600?
37:53 <Avatar> I need a character first chief
38:11 <Steven> well build one.
38:21 <Avatar> like I can whip up a character just like that
38:29 <Avatar> I'll be leaning on oracle now
38:34 <Steven> dude....
38:35 <Avatar> and that has about 500 options
38:49 <Steven> in the time it took you to build one character which you are now discarding i built like 7
39:05 <Steven> and i dont even get to play him but MAYBE once a month.
39:18 <Avatar> what is the point in building 7 characters
39:21 <Romaq> I know Spellthief is a home-brew, but I'm seeking a way to multi-class a close approximation that's a gnome with 'ferret' tendencies. :)
39:25 <Avatar> I could build 7 and never play 6 of them
39:27 <Steven> to figure out which one i wanted to actually play.
39:29 <Avatar> that's easy
39:35 <Avatar> I want to build a character I actually plan to play
39:40 <Steven> yeah, so build a character, play first steps p2
39:50 <Steven> if you dont like it, rebuild it.
39:52 <Avatar> that's the plan, but not in a night
40:30 <Steven> build a base model of the character you want to play, then fine tune it to something worthwhile over the course of 3+games.
40:53 <Steven> if you play for no credit during that time those dont count towards your rebuild limit.
41:20 <Avatar> that's the idea
41:28 <Steven> yeah, so build your oracle
41:29 <Avatar> but I can't build a garbage character and test that
41:31 <Avatar> that's pointless
41:40 <Steven> do you need my help in building an oracle?
41:42 <Avatar> I need to build something that I think will work
41:47 <Avatar> yeah maybe
41:52 <Steven> because i've built three of them
41:56 <Steven> and one of them is level 14
42:00 <Avatar> I don't know what to start with yet, I havent' looked at it 
42:08 <Avatar> I only decided today to dump the inquisitor
42:10 <Steven> Well we know its an oracle.
42:21 <Avatar> yeah and that's as far as I've gotten
42:23 * Romaq considers his sins, "So you guys use 'First Steps' without credit for a way to test new builds?
42:35 <Avatar> you always get credit for first steps
42:49 <Steven> no, romaq, im tempting him to play tomorrow by using logic.
43:01 <niconorsk{> Next step is pick yuor mystery
43:04 <Romaq> Oh, it's only if you don't want it to count on your rebuild limit.
43:28 <Steven> wrong nico, next step is to pick your race!
43:36 <Avatar> I would never play for no credit
43:45 <Romaq> What is the mapping software? I know there are several.
43:45 <Avatar> certainly not to test a build
43:50 <Avatar> ?ca
43:50 <diebot> Avatar, http://www.pfrpg.com.au/DevCA22b135.zip
43:53 <Avatar> grab that
44:32 <Steven> well first off avatar, you are going to have to pick a race, dont go anything that tanks your cha since obviously thats important.
44:55 <Avatar> I'll let you know where I need a hand
45:06 <Avatar> I can work out which are the strong stats
45:15 <Steven> but can you do it in a day?!?
45:21 <Avatar> very unlikely
45:29 <Avatar> I can't create characters I know inside out in a day
45:41 <Steven> really?  I must be a fluke then.
45:49 <Steven> or it may be because i have 17 characters.
45:51 <Avatar> I didn't create you
46:02 <Avatar> you are a character though
46:14 <Steven> i am refering to my ability to create a character in a single day that i know inside and out
46:31 <Avatar> recommend some mysteries if you like
46:58 <Steven> well since we dont know what your focus will be we cant eliminate any of them yet.
47:13 <Steven> Melee, support/healer, blaster.
47:24 <Romaq> I found "Combat Assistant" for Android, it doesn't look like mapping software.
47:26 <Avatar> I'll never make a healer build again
47:37 <Avatar> combat assistant for android is a different thing
47:43 <Steven> thats why you can be a support/healer
47:48 <Avatar> did you download that one I linked you to
48:10 <Avatar> I think lore sounded good
48:56 <Romaq> I did just now. Sorry, I misunderstood the link as part of the conversation you guys were having.
49:37 <Romaq> I didn't catch that '<diebot>' was you. It looked like something <diebot> was *telling* you. I've done IRC, just not very much.
50:00 <Avatar> ha sorry
50:18 <Avatar> diebot isn't me, but you can say triggers that spit out useful information
50:34 <Avatar> like dice rolls or spells or items
50:39 <Avatar> it's mekkis' bot
50:40 <Brunius> ??shaken
50:45 <Avatar> yeah or conditions
50:46 <Romaq> Ah.
50:53 <Brunius> pming? poor form, diebot
50:55 <Steven> alright dad called, im back.
51:01 <Romaq> Combat Assistant floats the data over IRC?
51:11 <Brunius> Direct connection
51:15 <Romaq> Ah.
51:19 <Brunius> The DM posts their IP, and everyone connects to it
51:29 <Brunius> Mekkis is working on a version that floats it over IRC, I think
51:29 <Avatar> no but mekkis is working on something like that
51:38 <Steven> alright, so... avatar, the nice thing is you can take Life Mystery, pick up channeling and technically you can heal and do a decent job at it.
51:54 <Steven> and then select nothing but damage dealing spells
51:58 <Avatar> yeah that sounds like a great job....for a healing build.
52:18 <Steven> your revelations wont be great
52:33 <Avatar> is there an archetype which lets you forget that you have cure spells
52:34 <Steven> but there are usually only one or two revelations worth a shit on any mystery
53:01 <Steven> you can just not learn healing spells.
53:03 <Avatar> so what's usually the deciding factor in picking a mystery
53:36 <Steven> so anyways, melee, support/healer, blaster
53:48 <Avatar> blaster or support
53:57 <Avatar> not healer
54:32 <Steven> the support is pretty much hand in hand with the healer since MOST of the support spells you want to cast are minutes/level or 10m/level
55:00 <Steven> course you could do a Blaster/Support and just pick up the bare minimum of support spells
55:35 <Steven> freedom of movement, resist energy, and heroism
56:05 <Steven> alright, ill be back in a minute or two, gotta run over to my dads house and chop some wood.
56:34 <Romaq> I'm looking over the Combat Assistant software, poking at it.
57:08 <Romaq> The Aussie PFS group looks pretty awesome.
57:19 <Romaq> It looks as if the entire country plays PFS. :D
57:34 <Romaq> At least, as far as how well the site is put together and Facebook and such.
59:06 <Avatar> Steven's in america as well
59:14 <Avatar> about half of us aren't australian 
00:31 <Romaq> Oh. Well, you folks have the gravity. The cool images are on your FB page. I can't look around much for info but what it turns up in .au. :D
03:14 <Steven> alright avatar.
03:27 <Brunius> Is that the one with the pictures from Arcanacon?
04:03 <Mekkis> Has anyone heard from Ballig over the last two months?
04:10 <Brunius> No
04:15 <Steven> went and looked at the lore mystery for oracle, its really quite bland for a blaster, more int is a nie thing but other than sidestep secret the only decent mystery only comes into play at 11th level.
04:17 <Brunius> But his hosting bills are still being paid...
04:26 <Brunius> Want me to call his work?
05:58 <Romaq> Ok. Carol and I are going to talk and poke about. My primary goal is we get out and socialize. That's why we started. But now she really wants to play even if there is no group live to play, so... given how .au has people awake when we are awake, you are likely to see us around. :D
06:07 <Romaq> Thanks for the info!
06:21 Romaq has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
06:33 <Avatar> bet he didn't register and won't get invites
06:55 <Steven> or he will show up sometime in the next 12 or so hours
07:06 <Avatar> time will tell
07:17 <Steven> for blaster wind isnt a bad mystery
07:40 <Mekkis> Brunius, probably not yet. I imagine it's a busy time for him now. If it doesn't calm down after 1st of July, then yes.
09:38 <Steven> cold is also a decent blaster spec if for no other reason than freezing spells
10:03 <Steven> if you hit somebody with cold and they take damage, they are effected with slow for 1 round
11:53 <Mekkis> Brunius, I would imagine that his work will drop off after the government goes into Caretaker Mode, six weeks before the election.
12:12 <Brunius> ha
12:47 <Steven> time is also a decent blaster mystery
13:45 <Avatar> time is always my witch patron
15:16 <Steven> if i were to go blaster i would go with time
15:19 <Mekkis> Avatar, I won't change Perils this week, but could you schedule Shades of Ice III for Thursday 7:30pm next week?
16:20 <Steven> as a melee touch attack you can touch a living creature and do 1 point of str damage per 2 oracle levels.
16:53 <Mekkis> Steven, what is Flurry of Snowballs?
17:06 <Steven> its an AOE
17:47 <Steven> 4d6 against all targets.... i wanna say 30ft cone
17:48 <Avatar> soitanly
18:00 <Avatar> what's the deal with shades of ice 3
18:02 <Mekkis> who the fuck wrote that book?
18:02 <Avatar> haven't you run it before
18:08 <Mekkis> Ulzef wants to play it
18:14 <Mekkis> I've run 1 and 2 recently
18:27 <Steven> what book? people of the north?
18:34 <Mekkis> is that the book it's in?
18:41 <Steven> yes
19:09 <Steven> and goodall was involved in its development
19:38 <Mekkis> heh
19:42 <Mekkis> I know
19:53 <Mekkis> he was telling me about the research he did about it
20:16 <Mekkis> Horned Helms? No, noone ever used them and they're a stupid idea.
23:25 <Steven> i imagine they were good for headbutting people, but that seems like a really last ditch effort
24:21 <Mekkis> not really: you become a danger to your allies more than anything else
25:07 <Steven> bah who needs allies when you have a horned helm!
29:09 <Steven> well avatar, I will be running FSp2 tomorrow at around 6pm your time.
29:21 <Steven> if ya wanna play, have a character.
30:30 <Avatar> can't do it in a night man
32:51 <Steven> if you wanna convince yourself of that i understand.
34:09 <Avatar> I will take tomorrow off so I can be ready for the game
37:20 <Falang> speaking of, what's up tomorrow?  game change or what?
37:31 <Falang> perils of pirate pact or something else?
47:00 <Avatar> no change
50:26 <Steven> damn it i forgot to log in
50:34 <Steven> theres a game tomorrow sad panda
52:52 <Avatar> do you want me to schedule that game
54:22 <Steven> no mekkis has a game roughly the same time
58:00 <niconorsk{> Unless the schedule hasn't been updated, Mekkis's game is not tomorrow
07:22 <Steven> it said tuesday when i went and checked.
07:32 <Steven> avatar, tomorrow aroun dyour 6pm
18:20 <Brunius> haha, shadow treasurer on abc news 24
18:48 <Brunius> "I'll give you one example" *fixes earpiece* "I'll give you one example of what we're doing" (while obviously listening to earpiece)

44:54 <Mekkis> !item sandles of quick reaction
44:56 <diebot> Mekkis, SANDALS OF QUICK REACTION [faint transmutation] CL:4 feet 4000gp, 1lb
44:57 <diebot> These supple leather sandals grant a burst of speed during times of duress. When the wearer acts during a surprise round, he can take a standard and a move action during the surprise round. If the wearer already has the ability to take a standard and a move action during the surprise round, he instead gains a +10 circumstance bonus to speed when
44:57 <diebot> acting during a surprise round. Source: Ultimate Equipment
45:41 <Mekkis> ah
45:48 <Mekkis> great for diviners!
52:21 <Falang> circumstance bonus to speed? wtf. speed isn't used anywhere as a term. do they mean movement rate or init?
53:02 <Falang> should really put those on the spreadsheet too, nice.
