00:00:42 <Goya> Seems things have calmed down a little bit.. NOT that it's saying much.
01:00:35 <Adrian> Hey everyone, what's up?
01:00:57 <Longshot> nm
01:07:37 <Brunius|M> Just finished up some sweet paintball
01:13:06 <Adrian> Sounds pretty awesome. Never played paintball.
01:58:02 <Steven> so...
01:58:04 <Steven> freaking...
01:58:05 <Steven> tired...
01:58:18 <Steven> did all first steps, plus a module today.
01:58:32 <Steven> i am now at 98/100 tables for 4 star status
02:06:39 <Steven> ugh... gonna have to download itunes...
02:07:47 <ben> hello
02:13:04 <Steven> sup
02:13:48 <Longshot> howdy
02:14:49 <ben> I just found this place through some googling
02:14:57 <Steven> googling is good
02:15:01 <ben> are you looking for players?
02:15:14 <Steven> always can use new players to bolster games.
02:15:19 <ben> cool
02:15:33 <ben> I've played some pathfinder RPG before
02:15:36 <Longshot> ever played a game with pathfinder society?
02:15:40 <ben> no
02:15:40 <Longshot> that's mostly what we play here
02:15:45 <ben> oh, ok
02:15:50 <ben> is it much different?
02:15:58 <Longshot> than regular pathfinder?
02:16:03 <ben> yeah
02:16:04 <Longshot> not too different, no
02:16:24 <Longshot> its just a bit more standardized
02:16:28 <ben> well, I'll look up the rules
02:16:40 <Longshot> go to paizo's website and download the pathfinder society guide
02:16:43 <Longshot> all you need, really
02:16:48 <ben> cool, thanks
02:16:55 <ben> how do I go about joining a game?
02:16:56 <Longshot> You should also register there and get a PFS number.
02:17:01 <Steven> Pathfinder society guide to organized play
02:17:10 <Steven> ?guide
02:17:11 <diebot> Steven, Guide to the Pathfinder Society Organised Play, available at http://paizo.com/products/btpy84k4
02:17:36 <Longshot> Here? There are two ways: 1. Hope enough people are online here in IRC for a pickup game or 2. Sign up for one of the scheduled games on the site
02:17:48 <Longshot> The only scheduled one we have currently is for level 5-9 characters
02:18:18 <Longshot> But there are lots of times games scheduled for level 1-2, which you'd be able to sign up for
02:18:31 <ben> ok
02:18:46 <ben> is there anywhere in particular to sign up?
02:19:13 <Longshot> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/newbie_guide.htm
02:19:17 <Longshot> thats a useful link
02:19:25 <ben> ok, I'll check it out
02:23:13 <ben> well, I got the PDF downloaded
02:23:21 <ben> thanks for the help, by the way
02:23:48 <Longshot> no problema
02:24:29 <Longshot> Hey Steven, know anything about min-maxing summoners?
02:25:22 <Steven> yes
02:25:37 <Steven> i know that for asking that question i hate you with the passion of the christ
02:25:37 <Longshot> It's the only class that I know isn't being played at my store in town.
02:25:46 <Longshot> So naturally I want to make one.
02:25:52 <Longshot> Why do you hate me for it? hahaha
02:27:20 <Steven> so much hate.
02:27:41 <Longshot> Do you not like summoners?
02:27:59 <Longshot> All i know is that synthesist and master summoner are both OP and PFS illegal.
02:36:25 <ben> hello
02:36:33 <Bertrand_Potter> sup
02:36:53 <Bertrand_Potter> i'm new
02:37:04 <Bertrand_Potter> i've played pathfinder for a while though.
02:37:27 <Bertrand_Potter> <---Charactername
02:39:17 <Adrian> Hey Longshot, when are the Level 1-2 games?
02:39:32 <Longshot> It depends
02:39:43 <Longshot> Lots of pickup 1-2s if there are enough people around.
02:39:56 <Longshot> Maybe every other or every third week for scheduled ones as far as i can tell
02:42:12 <Adrian> Interesting, will definitely keep eyes peeled.
03:00:43 <Steven> alright im back
03:00:58 <Steven> bertrand you dont have to come in character
03:01:08 <Steven> we mostly only use character names when we actually play a game.
03:01:20 <Steven> to change your nick type /nick (whatever your name is)
03:02:13 <Andy> Alright
03:02:22 <Andy> done
03:02:39 <ben> So I'm thinking of making an oracle as my character
03:15:28 <ben> going now, I'll be on tomorrow
03:16:15 <Steven> sorry im not more talkitive
03:16:25 <Steven> im eating dinner after an 8 hour gaming session
03:16:30 <Andy> Are witches allowed in pathfinder society
03:16:32 <Andy> ?
03:17:19 <Steven> we blazed through first steps 1-3 and the first part of the Baba Yaga adventure path
03:17:58 <Avatar> they sure are allowed
03:18:02 <Avatar> they are in fact the best class in the game
03:18:18 <Steven> WRONG!
03:18:31 <Steven> everyone knows rogues are the best class in the game.
03:18:40 <Avatar> hey I was serious
03:18:52 * Steven smiles evily
03:19:35 <Steven> Witches arent bad characters... course they aint great either... all depends on how ya play em
03:21:23 <Andy> alright thanks
03:21:46 <Andy> I love playing witch, but i've always thought that the slumber hex was a bit op.
03:22:30 <Avatar> so?
03:22:34 <Avatar> is it too op?
03:22:58 <Andy> Naw, i've just had some bad reactions from frustrated dm's before
03:23:01 <Avatar> picture this: a room full of undead, one witch
03:23:03 <Avatar> what do you do ?
03:23:13 <Avatar> well that's why you don't upgrade your headband of int from +2 to +4
03:23:14 <Andy> um
03:23:16 <Avatar> find something else nice to buy
03:23:21 <Andy> yeah
03:23:25 <Andy> i guess
03:23:36 <Avatar> you were doing really really well there
03:23:40 <Avatar> right up until you said "I guess"
03:24:06 <Andy> eh
03:24:06 <Andy> well
03:24:07 <Avatar> where's the commitment
03:24:26 <Andy> if I was the orc archetype scarred witch doctor i'd be alright in combat
03:24:35 <Andy> but i don't play that usually
03:25:02 <Andy> it just doesnt fit with my roleplay style, as well as being too op for my tastes, and bad out of combat
03:25:33 <Andy> Well, its after 1 AM where I am, so imma sleep. see y'all
03:26:04 <Avatar> did I beat him up too badly ?
03:26:20 <Avatar> wait a minute, what did he mean bad out of combat !!!!!!!!!
03:27:06 <Steven> who knows
03:27:12 <Steven> im busy eating to pay much attention
03:27:17 <Steven> also, i now am level 3
03:30:50 <Avatar> gg
03:31:12 <Steven> maybe i'll make a witch...
03:31:15 <Steven> a monk witch...
03:34:20 <Avatar> can you crit on a combat maneuver?
03:34:22 <Avatar> you can can't you
03:34:37 <Avatar> I'm looking at butterfly's sting
03:36:51 <Steven> a nat 20 just means you auto succeed
03:42:07 <Avatar> does that work with passing off a manuever to someone else's damage
03:44:32 <Steven> i think so, but would only really work with a sunder
03:48:39 <Steven> but objects are immune to critical hits methinks
03:49:06 <Avatar> why would it only work with a sunder
03:49:35 <Steven> because you cant critically trip someone
03:49:48 <Steven> a nat 20 always succeeds
03:50:43 <Steven> but there is no condition greater than tripped, and with butterfly sting you pass the ability to crit off to the next person
03:53:32 <Steven> so, its like oh yay i critically tripped a person, which still required me to actually hit the creature.
03:56:03 <Steven> so 3rd level character... what to build what to build
03:56:36 <Avatar> er what?
03:57:07 <Avatar> always succeeds is the greater condition
03:57:07 <Steven> i ran a speed run of first steps plus a module today
03:57:12 <Avatar> possible trip vs definite trip
03:57:36 <Steven> butterfly sting dictates you have to hit them first
03:58:01 <Steven> with CMB that means you will have to beat their CMD
03:58:08 <Steven> which would trip them
03:58:23 <Steven> there is no critical trip effect.
03:58:40 <Steven> with a natural 20 you always succeed your trip attempt.
03:59:46 <Steven> but butterfly sting doesnt state the person Automatically hits, just that their hit is a critical IF they hit.
04:00:18 <Steven> i feel like imm not explaining this well...
04:31:41 <Steven> cannot decide what to build
04:31:56 <Steven> 19 characters
04:32:27 <Steven> actually build my 2 weapon paladin?
04:33:47 <Steven> hydra... two weapon paladin
04:33:51 <Steven> whatcha thinkin?
04:34:00 <Hydrazine> Not worth the effort.
04:34:35 <Hydrazine> Doesn't seem really practical mechanically, nor does it fit the theme.
04:34:39 <Hydrazine> Unless your second weapon is a shield.
04:36:35 <Steven> nah, actual weapons
04:37:34 <Steven> scimitar and a kukri
04:44:58 <Steven> couple of friends and i did like 8 hours of gaming today, speed run through first steps and a module.
04:48:30 <Steven> !throw 2#1d21
04:48:30 <diebot> Steven, 2#1d21: [1d21=20] 20, [1d21=4] 4
04:55:58 <Steven> blah.... so many choices...
04:56:45 <Steven> summoner?
04:56:55 <Steven> so i can become the thing i hate lol
04:58:30 <Steven> make my Rippley/Chestburster summoner
05:20:35 <Avatar> you should play a synthesist summoner
05:20:40 <Avatar> wait you can't they are banned lol
07:27:33 <HTT-Bird> that's classical lawful, mostly taken from the SRD, but note that I said "authority-by-hierarchy"
07:29:07 <Brunius> So don't play classical lawful
07:29:32 <HTT-Bird> yeah, which seems to take playing a paladin completely off the table then and there
07:29:48 <Brunius> Ask Avatar about his Sczarni Paladin
07:30:13 <Steven> loveme some sczarni paladin!
07:30:20 <HTT-Bird> let me read the guide to organized play some more.
07:38:30 <Avatar> what
07:38:49 <Avatar> just don't play lawful stupid and you're fine
07:38:50 <Adrian> Back. What's the haps?
07:39:08 <Avatar> I don't know how my sczarni paladin will play out yet because I haven't actually had a chance to play him
07:39:26 <Avatar> wait I lie I played him in one scenario, first steps 3
07:40:55 <Avatar> does anyone know if swift actions provoke
07:41:16 <Steven> swift actions do not provoke
07:41:21 <Avatar> all swift actions?
07:41:30 <Avatar> there was some talk that certain ones do and certain ones don't
07:41:57 <Steven> to my knowledge, swift actions are over too quickly to provoke.
07:42:30 <Avatar> gunslingers that reload with alch catridges provoke
07:42:50 <Avatar> that's a free action
07:43:10 <Steven> because it specifically calls that reloading the weapon provokes.
07:43:33 <Avatar> I can't think of other examples
08:38:19 * Adrian pokes the chatroom.
08:42:08 <Yiroep> Hello
08:58:03 <Adrian> Hi
09:44:13 <Yiroep> Played first steps this weekend.
09:44:19 <Yiroep> (All 3)
09:44:25 <Yiroep> *sniffle* Probably for the last time.
09:45:49 <Brunius> Thank god
09:46:07 <Yiroep> Lol.
09:46:29 <Yiroep> It does seem like there's a first steps game every other day on the collective.
10:03:53 <Adrian> I hope there's one soon, I want to get my first game going lol :P
14:09:12 <Yiroep> I can't wait for that Alkenstar module to come out.
15:51:31 * Wrothmonk lurks in the shadows, bored
15:52:20 * Steven grapples wrothmonk and does a deathroll with him.
18:34:57 * HTT-Bird pokes Wrothmonk
18:35:04 <Wrothmonk> Yes?
18:35:07 <Wrothmonk> this is not facebook.
18:35:25 <HTT-Bird> yeah, I don't even have a facebook (correction: bacefook ;) account

19:40:26 <Steven> oh man... why didnt i think of that
19:45:55 <Adrian> Back
19:51:13 <Steven> yup... making a chest burster!
19:59:55 <Steven> half elf summoner...
20:00:17 <Steven> so... avatar.
20:00:35 <Steven> your judgement, would a chest burster be a biped, quadruped, or serpentine?
20:01:01 <Steven> the argument could be made that they are also aquatic since they are fairly accomplished swimmers in the movies.
20:10:54 <Steven> im thinking of going Serpentine.
20:18:10 <Steven> thinking serpentine, Limbs, Claws, Pounce, and natural armor
20:22:02 <Steven> then just dump points into becomeing a large sized eidolon and finally a Huge sized one.
20:41:21 <Avatar> forget summoner
20:41:26 <Avatar> too OP

21:02:40 <Steven> chest burster, medium xenomorph, large xenomorph, and then Queen Xenomorph

21:13:20 <Mekkis> I remember when someone named their character "penis" in Icelandic
