15:54 <Avatar> mobility vs improved critical?
15:56 <Blasticka> I'm tryiing to pick my feats for my level 10 monk
16:03 <Avatar> where's your sheet
16:09 <Blasticka> I'll post it again
16:25 <Avatar> barok?
16:29 <CWheezy> right now if you just attack once, you do 1d10 +9 + 2d6
16:32 <Blasticka> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/charsheet.php5?id=785
16:39 <Blasticka> yeah barok
17:05 <Blasticka> well I haven't technically bought the amulet of mighty fists yet
17:16 <Avatar> is this for QQ2
17:16 <CWheezy> ok so just 1d10 +9
17:21 <Avatar> you uploaded it to the wrong spot chief
17:31 <Blasticka> this is for Mekkis thing
17:44 <Blasticka> he told me, make a level 10 character with 73,656 spend limit
17:48 <Avatar> maybe that's not your fault actually
18:04 <Blasticka> hmm, how do I fix it?
18:19 <Avatar> yeah it is
18:25 <Blasticka> I didn't put it on the paizo site
18:32 <Avatar> when you create a character, change the campaign from PAthfinder Society to Cry Even More
18:50 <Blasticka> can I do that now or am i stuck? I put it in misc char sheets
19:03 <Avatar> pm Ballig, he might be able to fix it
19:14 <CWheezy> oh also are you on a 20 pb?
19:23 <CWheezy> because your dex should be two higher if so
19:41 <Avatar> if you're getting spring attack, you need mobility
19:55 <CWheezy> he doesn't actually
19:57 <Blasticka> too many questions lol
20:03 <Blasticka> as a monk I got it from a bonus feat
20:03 <CWheezy> monk bonus 
20:04 <Avatar> it's a pre-req
20:06 <Avatar> oh
20:13 <Avatar> well forget it then
20:33 <Blasticka> but the main question for me atm, is I'm trying to pick feats
20:48 <Avatar> what do you think mobility and spring attack are
20:52 <Blasticka> and one of the bonus feats I got was the mobility. is improved crit a better choice do you think?
21:02 <Blasticka> sorry I get them mixed up
21:03 <Avatar> it's a superior choice in terms of goodness
21:25 <Blasticka> spring attack, is moving up to an enemy without provoking, attacking them once, and moving away also with out provoking
21:28 <Avatar> I am not really the one to ask for advice about pvp
21:42 <Avatar> it sort of depends what kind of arena you land in
21:44 <Blasticka> mobility, is getting a plus 4 ac bonus to when you do provoke aoo
21:46 <CWheezy> you only have 50 foot speed
21:59 <Blasticka> pvp? I'm fighting other people not monsters?
22:07 <CWheezy> Oh you are fighting other people?
22:09 <Avatar> oh I don't know
22:12 <Avatar> maybe not
22:15 <CWheezy> remove this character make a wizard
22:38 <CWheezy> or be a zen archer
22:44 <Avatar> yeah pvp isn't mentioned sorry
22:54 <Avatar> just a high difficulty arena for cheesy characters it says
23:22 <CWheezy> oh ok
23:24 <CWheezy> phew
23:34 <Avatar> judging by your current build I think your expectations of what to expect is going to be off
23:49 <Avatar> er
23:53 <Avatar> expectations of what's to come
24:22 <Avatar> you should also take into account that mekkis is the GM and may have left out key pieces of information
25:02 <CWheezy> I will guess you are going to be facing cr 12 stuff maybe
25:05 <Blasticka> I'm actually acting on very little information
25:13 <CWheezy> so if you do , know they will have around 150 hp
25:16 <Blasticka> It's my guess however
25:29 <Blasticka> that mekkis wants to kill cheesy characters as he puts it
25:39 <Blasticka> and is setting up an arena that can do that
25:54 <Blasticka> I'm making a character to go along with it cause I love making characters
25:59 <Avatar> mekkis builds really, really, really cheesy characters
26:11 <Avatar> this one you have doesn't come close
26:38 <CWheezy> yeah the first step is to make a caster
26:54 <Avatar> the first step isn't to make a caster
27:04 <Avatar> you just need the right fit
27:12 <Maestro> GAH! MY KINGDOM FOR A HORSE!
27:16 <CWheezy> something really fllexible
27:18 <CWheezy> like a wizard
27:40 <CWheezy> put all of your 73k
27:42 <CWheezy> into making a golem
28:03 <Blasticka> a golem?
28:05 <Blasticka> lol
28:10 <Blasticka> isn't that cheating?
28:28 <CWheezy> youa ren't doing pfs
28:36 <CWheezy> you could make a clockwork golem
28:40 <Maestro> Sorry, I was AFK.
28:49 <Maestro> I forget what I was doing...
28:51 <Avatar> it needs to be a PFS legal character CWheezy
28:56 <CWheezy> oh lol
29:01 <Blasticka> you were looking for a horse
29:01 <Avatar> read the rules chief
29:07 <CWheezy> I have no idea what he is doing
29:17 <CWheezy> so saying read the rules is great help imo
29:21 <Blasticka> yep pfs legal. core races plus tengu, aasimar, and tiefling
29:23 <Maestro> I had this dream that I was a king who had absolutely no concept of object value
29:37 <CWheezy> yeah if it wasn't I would have made an iron golem I think
29:41 <CWheezy> with the hedge wizard trait
29:50 <CWheezy> no items but who needs items you have a golem
30:36 <Blasticka> okay. so I need to use the restroom. then I will tackle the rest of Barok's feats
30:47 <CWheezy> you'll be fine, just try your best
36:27 <patrick> hey everyone, I just started a pathfinder campaign and thought i'd see if there was an IRC out there
36:44 <Blasticka> hello patrick.
36:53 <patrick> do you guys run sessions on this server or just general discussion?
37:01 <patrick> I just stumbled upon this channel
37:05 <Blasticka> we play a few times a week
37:14 <Blasticka> sometimes less if we can't find a gm
37:16 <patrick> homebrew?
37:23 <Blasticka> mostly pfs
37:34 <Blasticka> but not always
37:40 <patrick> nice, i'm playing through Rise of the Rune Lords right now
37:45 <spider21b> hi
37:48 <patrick> hello
37:55 <Blasticka> I'm currently making a from scratch lvl 10 monk for a um, something Cry a lot campaign
38:06 <spider21b> i wish i could play or run some homebrew
38:08 <Blasticka> are you a GM or a player primarily patrick?
38:21 <patrick> I'm a player in the current campaign but I've been working on a homebrew
38:29 <spider21b> very cool
38:40 <Blasticka> well if you give the people here the rules, and approve the game with Avatar
38:46 <patrick> we just started two weeks ago so I'm only a lvl 3 Inquisitor
38:48 <Blasticka> he can put it on the site scheduled for us to sign up for
38:57 <patrick> that would be awesome
39:02 <spider21b> hey patrick, what kind of homebrew?
39:13 <patrick> it was going to be 3.5/pathfinder
39:35 <patrick> unless you mean plot
39:46 <spider21b> i was meaning plot
39:49 <spider21b> i love a good plot
39:53 <Avatar> patrick: we run sessions
39:57 <Avatar> have you registered on the site
40:14 <Blasticka> yes avatar will help you follow all the rules. :-)
40:14 <patrick> I'm in the process of registering yes
40:15 <Steven> alright sleep9in!
40:22 <Blasticka> goodnight steven
40:23 <spider21b> bye steven
40:29 <Blasticka> sleep well mate
40:32 <Avatar> have you played PFS before?
41:11 <patrick> I played way back in middle-school and highschool but it was 1st edition
41:23 <spider21b>  /NickOP HELP REGISTER
41:33 <spider21b> never mind silly mibbit
41:40 <patrick> thanks spider
41:52 <spider21b> no problem its what i do
42:11 <spider21b> ( deadpool smile)
42:19 <spider21b> (thumbs up)
42:44 <Blasticka> well if you have a homebrew story to tell and need players, you probably won't have too much trouble finding players.
43:08 <patrick> thats cool, I'd heard of d20, but I sort of prefer IRC just because I'm running arch linux
43:17 <Blasticka> depending of course on time requirements since almost everyone works or has a busy schedule.
43:22 <spider21b> yep
43:30 <spider21b> and differnt places in the world
44:50 <Blasticka> mainly Australia and the US though
44:55 <Blasticka> for the most part.
45:01 <patrick> I'm in Michigan
45:17 <patrick> but I work nights and stay up early so i suppose I'm on a different time zone personally
45:30 <CWheezy> hey me too
45:39 <patrick> thats crazy
45:51 <CWheezy> australian time has always worked well for me, haha
46:02 <CWheezy> 2 am for me is their prime time and I am awake then
46:18 <Avatar> the next game I run is going to be on the 26th or 27th
46:39 <Blasticka> ah. we'll be in melbourne away from our computers so we'll miss that one
46:52 <Blasticka> Avatar always has great story telling and roleplay.
47:01 <Avatar> that is actually a lie
47:04 <Avatar> roleplay is my weak spot
47:13 <Blasticka> well in my experience you did well
47:17 <Avatar> thx chief
47:18 <patrick> hahaha
47:42 <Avatar> it was a good scenario to train me up actually
48:06 <patrick> i'll try to get on around then to see
48:12 <Blasticka> that poor little dwarf
48:27 <Blasticka> such afflictions he went through
48:33 <patrick> how many sessions have you done so far on this campaign?
48:39 <spider21b> back
48:43 <Blasticka> which campaign?
48:44 <Avatar> patrick it sounds like you don't know what pathfinder society is?
49:47 <Avatar> y/n
49:50 <patrick> no i don't, i'm playing a campaign that uses the pathfinder rulebook
50:08 <Avatar> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/newbie_guide.htm
50:14 <Avatar> go there and download everything on that page
50:17 <Blasticka> ooh this would be a good chance to find out if I know what's in that guide
50:43 <Blasticka> or should I make him go read it first?
50:44 <patrick> ah perfect thank you
51:09 <patrick> it's awesome you guys have this set up so well
51:17 <patrick> thats a godsend for hermits like myself
57:36 <CWheezy> you guys don't use roll20 then eh?
57:38 <Maestro> Wish me luck everybody, I have a game in 13 hours that might just bring my summoner to level 2
57:53 <Blasticka> ooh exciting. don't go in the door first
57:55 <Blasticka> ever
58:24 <Blasticka> and read the list of "will save your life" items on the main page
58:44 <Blasticka> if you have some spare gold, I reccomend air crystals
59:58 <spider21b> i really want to play an alchemist never played one
00:36 <Blasticka> only feedback I've heard from players with alchemists is that sometimes you can't throw any bombs because you would hit your own party
02:02 <spider21b> that's true
02:17 <Blasticka> but they would be good versus rangers
02:26 <Blasticka> hiding on boxes and such
02:34 <CWheezy> alchemists are ok
02:40 <Blasticka> you would need a whip or something
02:43 <Blasticka> to assist
02:47 <spider21b> hum i mean i wish alamist were more like full metal alamist style xd
03:19 <CWheezy> well
03:21 <Blasticka> I think you mean alchemist
03:27 <spider21b> sorry bad spelling
03:32 <CWheezy> yeah crossbows are ok for you
03:42 <CWheezy> since you will probably be good in ranged
04:02 <CWheezy> after 2nd level with precise bombs you wont have to worry about hitting your allies
04:09 <spider21b> true
04:45 <CWheezy> well you will
04:51 <CWheezy> but it isn't as big of a deal
04:52 <spider21b> also what's the deal with magus anyway?
05:00 <CWheezy> magus are a damage dealer
05:02 <CWheezy> they can nova
05:05 <CWheezy> but do not have staying power
05:21 <spider21b> but why dont they have spells perday?
05:31 <CWheezy> what?
05:33 <CWheezy> they do
05:41 <CWheezy> they cast spells like a wizard
07:03 <spider21b> but what's Arcane Pool then?
08:38 <CWheezy> a pool of points they can spend on things
08:56 <CWheezy> like to recall spells, to hit better
09:05 <spider21b> oh, so they do have spells perday then
09:19 <spider21b> i was a bit confused before but thanks you no so much xd
09:58 <Maestro> This place has the friendliest and most helpful I've ever seen.
10:13 <spider21b> yep!
20:02 <spider21b> so i was wondering where did patrick go i wanted to know his story for his homebrew game
20:22 <Blasticka> maybe he is hiding it
20:27 <Blasticka> to avoid spoilers!
21:58 <spider21b> spoilers where?
22:42 * Blasticka struggles for a moment, deciding whether or not to play with the spider
23:17 <Blasticka> naw he didn't really say anything about his campaign other than he has one he wants to run at some point. he was very hush hush.
24:07 <patrick> hey sorry I've been reading through this PFS stuff
25:26 <patrick> would you guy's like to see the introductory paragraph or something for it?  the story is still a jumble of things
25:57 <Blasticka> if you give spider anything he will not leave you alone until you let him play it. ;-) just a warning. I'm almost as bad
29:21 <Avatar> introductory paragraph of what
29:25 <Blasticka> but that's a yes we would love to read the beginning of your story
30:00 <Blasticka> patrick has a homebrew something or other in the works avatar.
30:27 <Maestro> Does it have lasers?
30:41 <Blasticka> on top of friggin sharks!
31:02 <Maestro> I don't wanna play it if it doesn't have lasers...
31:14 <Maestro> That's why I play a Gunslinger on PFS, because they shoot lasers
31:19 <Blasticka> and the starting gold is, onnnne milllion gold pieces!
31:57 <Maestro> MWAHAHAHAHAHA
33:32 <Maestro> One of these days I'm just gonna roll up a good ol' SMASH barbarian.
33:35 <patrick> In the furthest northern reaches of the world there is a place known only as the Veil, across endless plains of bleak white, through fathomless glaciers and churning black waters, there are mountains with summits far beyond the reach of mortal men. Their cold stone visages effaced by the wrathful ancient arctic winds whispering notions beyond the grasp of one who does not see from outside eternity.  The solemn gray arbiters stand forevermore unchan
33:36 <patrick> ging, the final bastion between earth and sky.  These are the Sentinels, as brutal and fatal as they are awe-inspiring in magnitude. Deep in the recesses of this range, high above the cloud-line, lies a humble and secluded sanctuary.  Carved into the face of the mountain, the entrance is weather-beaten stone blocks, with runes of an unknown origin barely legible on their surfaces.  A promontory stands overlooking immense landscape, incalculably vas
33:36 <patrick> t and never ending.  At it's edge stands a massive pyre of eternal flame reaching towards the top of the world.  Forgotten from the legends of old, and the records of new, the sanctuary has lied untouched and unknown for time unquantifiable. Deep within its walls, behind magical wards and mechanized traps lives a nigh-xenophobic cult of Elvish monks.  Further within, in the innermost chamber of the sanctuary lies a shard of existence in pure essenc
33:41 <patrick> e, suspended within the mortal realm via the use of powerful magicka unknown even to the monks themselves.  Pure immutable creation in and of itself, it is impossible to gaze upon with eyes suited for the plane mortal, thus the monks have sacrificed their eyesight so that they may pray in it's presence in order to maintain the magical ward preventing the shard from degrading from it's stable state.   The shard is a celestial artifact, forged outsid
33:46 <patrick> e of time and space.  At once it encompasses all of creation, and simultaneously spans forever, an empty void.  Though the monks do not know him by name the shard is a token of Yog-Sothoth - the Dark Tapestry in which all exists. 
35:15 <patrick> and Yog-Sothoth is an H.P. Lovecraft reference
35:39 <Maestro> It's a pretty widely-recognized reference ;)
35:41 <patrick> also a CN deity
35:47 <Blasticka> interesting. beautiful writing
35:58 <patrick> so something will happen with that
36:01 <Blasticka> lacks one main thing
36:09 <patrick> lasers?
36:14 <Maestro> Copyright?
36:17 <Blasticka> I assume the adventurer's are going to find out about this place and go there?
36:23 <patrick> no
36:32 <Blasticka> oh. okay.
36:37 <patrick> the place is actually going to be the first sign of trouble for something
36:48 <patrick> that happens on a multiverse scale
37:05 <Blasticka> well the entire description makes this place seem really distant and secluded
37:20 <Maestro> I wouldn't vacation there
37:23 <Blasticka> So as a player I'm always thinking, how does this impact me
37:46 <patrick> i wouldn't want to reveal that right away ;)
37:59 <Blasticka> or how am I meant to impact that place. to make it real. of course not don't spoil stuff. :-)
41:18 <Blasticka> well I have an idea
41:21 <Blasticka> that might work
41:45 <Blasticka> so this "cult" almost of elf monks has their own little world based on thier traditions and this shard right?
42:14 <patrick> yes
42:54 <Blasticka> what if the shard drove them slightly mad somehow either by shattering or disappearing or by changing color and having dark emanations, and these elves were driven by madness from their home to spread doomsday messages which would probably lead to some kind of war
42:55 <patrick> it's not so much a society though, more so a very small sequestered group
43:35 <patrick> well they wouldn't notice any changes in color they blinded themselves
44:00 <patrick> and the shard is more an anomaly of time and space
44:05 <patrick> than a crystal
44:23 <Blasticka> well what would it do to them if it suddenly wasn't there?
44:28 <patrick> it's a shard in the 'piece of something else' sense
45:03 <patrick> cause great alarm
45:21 <patrick> but any change would
45:45 <Blasticka> would it be enough to make them go search for it and say cryptic things that could incite whatever political problem you want to effect?
46:01 <patrick> it's sort of like a wound with shrapnel in reality that can't be taken out without consequence
46:29 <Blasticka> iiiinnnnteresting.
46:42 <patrick> the political problem was more going to be for how characters would find themselves aligned, being treated in towns
46:50 <Avatar> a more up-to-date getting started guide is about to go up
46:54 <patrick> social issues
46:58 <Blasticka> ah okay.
47:23 <patrick> and maybe more
47:58 <Blasticka> I misunderstood what you were going for then don't mind me
48:23 <Blasticka> gonna take a mibbit break and go find a game to play.
48:35 <Blasticka> anyone know a good rpg or mmorpg that they enjoy?
48:43 <Mekkis> nethack
48:53 <Blasticka> I tried nethack mekkis really i did
49:13 <Mekkis> some people play it for years before winning
49:29 <Blasticka> I kept getting burdened and there were no shops
49:39 <CWheezy> street fighter
49:50 <Mekkis> did you turn off autopickup?
50:01 <Blasticka> I though I had
50:05 <Mekkis> also, shops are for buying stuff
50:05 <Blasticka> *thought
50:19 <Mekkis> I hardly ever sell stuff in shops
51:00 <Blasticka> mekkis did you see earlier how we were trolling to try and get you to say something?
51:08 <Mekkis> rinse and repeat 
51:15 <Mekkis> nope
51:21 <Blasticka> it was pretty funny
51:35 <Mekkis> that's good
51:36 <kapow> XP
51:45 <kapow> You'll make daniel cry
51:50 <Blasticka> the conversation turned into people saying things like, "putting a point in flying skill makes you sprout wings"
51:59 <kapow> or i would doing it
52:04 <Blasticka> and "monks take no penalties from full plate if they have wings"
52:21 <Mekkis> end result: a creature with heaps of HD and cha
53:12 <kapow> no cha
53:20 <kapow> because feeblemind reduces it to 1
53:22 <kapow> 3 cha
54:05 <Maestro> It was wrong and it made me feel dirty
54:05 <Blasticka> anyway, I'm almost done with my 10th level monk
55:53 <kapow> right?
56:12 <Brunius> !spell feeblemind
56:12 <diebot> Brunius, FEEBLEMIND enchantment (compulsion[mind-affecting]) sorcerer/wizard 5, witch 5 1 standard action Range: medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) one creature Comp: V, S, M (a handful of clay, crystal, or glass spheres) Duration: instantaneous Save: Will negates; see text SR:yes
56:12 <diebot> Target creature's Intelligence and Charisma scores each drop to 1. The affected creature is unable to use Intelligence- or Charismabased skills, cast spells, understand language, or communicate coherently. Still, it knows who its friends are and can follow them and even protect them. The subject remains in this state until a heal, limited wish,
56:12 <diebot> miracle, or wish spell is used to cancel the of the feeblemind. A creature that can cast arcane spells, such as a sorcerer or a wizard, takes a -4 penalty on its saving throw.
56:28 <Blasticka> still gotta pick a few feats, and finalize his items.
56:51 <Brunius> I think you'd gain the cha boost
57:48 <Mekkis> cast heal
58:25 <Blasticka> mekkis you are still set to +R so I can't respond to your pm
59:50 <Blasticka> and hello Mist. welcome
00:03 <kapow> could you then do that in PFS?
00:10 <Mist> Hi c:
00:15 <Mist> So uhm
00:35 <spider21b> back
00:45 <Blasticka> welcome back spider say hello to Mist
00:49 <Mist> I was looking around because I was trying to see if Pathfinder/D&D games existed online and I found this site and I don't know where to go from there
01:08 <Blasticka> well good news for you Mist, Avatar has just posted an updated beginner guide
01:18 <Blasticka> let me see if I can find the link
01:22 <Mist> 'Cause the first two bits said to go to the IRC channel and ask around
01:29 <Mist> So I find myself here ^__^
02:26 <Blasticka> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/newbie_guide.htm
02:31 <Mekkis> awaken is banne
02:31 <Blasticka> that has some information
02:41 <Blasticka> but if you just want to ask some questions we can probably help you
02:42 <Mist> Oh neat! Thank you 
03:44 <kapow> yeah right
03:55 <kapow> the only problem mekkis with doing it over n over again
04:02 <kapow> is cause the HD increase the will save increases
04:03 <Blasticka> how new to pathfinder are you? never played? played home games? because pathfinder society is similar to D&D 3.5 only there are some differences.
04:05 <kapow> to awaken it
04:31 <kapow> that and I don't think awaken works on magical beasts because they gain the type
04:50 <Mist> Never played, 3.5 has major imbalancing issues with Mages and I was told Pathfinder fixed them
05:08 <Blasticka> well I've played and am playing a lvl 2 sorcerer
05:18 <Mist> Was told that 4e was just ridiculous and why is my name in red
05:24 <Mist> o
05:25 <Mist> typing
05:26 <Mist> herp
05:41 <Blasticka> and I have to say, it's frusturating, and slow. but I am looking forward to levels 4-7
05:55 <Blasticka> you have to be so careful in pathfinder with a mage
06:01 <Blasticka> early on I almost drowned
06:19 <Blasticka> there is a list of life saving items. once I earned some gold, I bought several of them
06:30 <Mist> neat!
06:48 <Blasticka> you start out at level 1 usually, with 150 gold. no matter what class you are
06:57 <Blasticka> this can be tricky for fighters.
07:03 <Mist> Diff between Pathfinder and Pathfinder Society?
07:10 <Blasticka> my fighter had a sword, some armor, and one cure light wounds potion.
07:27 <Blasticka> well, since Pathfinder society spans several continents
07:33 <Blasticka> it is all about character sheets.
07:48 <Blasticka> you get one experience, sometimes a couple prestige or fame, and a certain amount of gold each time.
07:52 <Mist> Also is D&D really that based on combat that the RP aspect is ignored?
08:04 <Blasticka> not like other venues where you might find a really cool sword in the mission and get to keep it
08:17 <Blasticka> in this one, you get 3,000 gold or whatever and the option to buy the sword
08:28 <Blasticka> since it is on one of your chronicle sheets
08:39 <Mist> Gotcha
08:41 <kapow> and how would leadership handle an animal companion that was awakened because of all the HD
08:50 <Blasticka> so I suppose a short answer to your question is that in pathfinder society there is more paperwork, and gold is very important.
09:23 <Blasticka> also leveling up is fairly slow, since it always takes 3 experience inbetween each level, and each mission only gives one experience.
09:49 <Blasticka> so to get to level 3 you have to play 6 games without dying. no small accomplishment for a mage
10:01 <Mist> great
10:27 <Blasticka> but if you get a good team with a good tank, a crowd control wizard/sorcerer can come in very handy
10:45 <Blasticka> I personally chose color spray and mage armor as my level 1 spells.
11:34 <Mist> I read that as cheese color spray
11:40 <Blasticka> lol
12:00 <Blasticka> comes in a can that way in america. cheese whiz. always thought that was a bad product name
12:15 <Mist> I am in America c:
12:23 <Mist> I do not like the canned cheese.
12:41 <Blasticka> yeah I came from there. lived in Oregon for a long time before moving to Australia a couple years ago
13:05 <Mist> Where at?
13:15 <Mist> I have like 7 friends in Keizer
13:45 <Blasticka> I live in Stirling currently, but my wife and I want to move back to Mt. Barker at the end of our lease
13:50 <Blasticka> too cold up here
14:00 <Mist> Cold in Australia? whaaaaaaaaaat
14:07 <Blasticka> in winter it sure is
14:12 <Mist> whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
14:20 <Blasticka> i was surprised to
14:50 <Mist>  whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
14:59 <Mist> I can't fathom that
15:01 <Blasticka> very hot in summer, pretty cold in winter, lots more rain than I expected
15:13 <Mekkis> Australia's current Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, is becoming a major voice on the global political scene. A strong advocate for Australia, Abbott has rankled his counterparts in South America with his pro-Commonwealth and pro-Australia views. New Zealand's current Prime Minister, John Key, has taken a less rancorous profile, and as a result his country currently enjoys somewhat more favorable relations with South America than Abbott's Australia. 
15:27 <Blasticka> so in the summer, which is like december
15:33 <Blasticka> we have fruit salad for christmas dinner
15:37 <Mist> Right cause southern hemisphere
15:39 <Maestro> Okay. I'm going to go be lazy and fall asleep. Later, folks!
15:44 <Mist> Nini!
15:56 <Blasticka> and in the winter, which is now, it's freezing.
16:11 <Blasticka> see ya later Maestro
16:18 <Blasticka> Maestro is a funny guy
17:07 <Brunius> Still reading Doomsday?
17:16 <Mekkis> ja
20:40 <CWheezy> how cold is cold
20:48 <CWheezy> gimmie some numbers
20:50 <Avatar> approaching zero
21:29 <Blasticka> for us, lets see, think it was 7 degrees celsius last night?
21:37 <Blasticka> something like that.
21:50 <Mist> I feel bad because I don't know how cold that is
21:58 <Mist> but it's around 35-36C here right now
22:07 <Mist> that is all i know how to compare ahaha
22:09 <Avatar> Mist: what have you played before
22:20 <Blasticka> 7 degrees celsius is close to 38 fahrenheit
22:38 <Mist> Related to D&D? Nothing! I've only read on it 
22:39 <Blasticka> so just above when your glass of water turns to ice cubes
22:48 <Avatar> any pathfinder?
22:52 <Mist> Nope
22:54 <Mist> I wish qq
23:00 <Avatar> pathfinder is the new d&d
23:05 <Avatar> d&d is no more pretty much
23:10 <Mist> I thought 4e was
23:16 <Avatar> no 4e is a joke, ask anyone
23:24 <Avatar> pathfinder is like 3.75
23:32 <Mist> My friend said it was too wat to understand
23:42 <Avatar> too wat?
23:45 <Mist> yep
23:47 <Mist> as in
23:51 <CWheezy> oh man 7 degrees
23:53 <Mist> what the heck am i doing too much stuff ahhhhhhhh
23:58 <CWheezy> you know freezing is 0 right
24:03 <Avatar> righto
24:03 <Mist> 38F is nothing ):
24:06 <Avatar> well
24:08 <CWheezy> where I live it will get down to -40 C
24:12 <Avatar> register on the site and grab yourself a rulebook
24:32 <Blasticka> yes I very much know 0 is freezing
24:33 <Mist> On Paizo or on pfrpg
24:39 <Mist> or both
24:54 <Avatar> both
24:56 <Avatar> pfrpg first
25:00 <Mist> wonderful
25:12 <Mist> Oh the Newbie guide says to talk to you for help on setting up an account
25:15 <Avatar> there's links in that newbie guide that Blasticka linked you
25:16 <Mist> What is that all about
25:21 <kapow> Mekkis how would leadership handle magical beasts as an animal companion who had been awakened?
25:27 <Avatar> what
25:41 <Avatar> go to www.pfrpg.com.au and click register
25:43 <Mist> Ask Ballig, Avatar or snypt (preferably in-channel) to set you up with an account, and give them your character's first name so you can start uploading your character sheet.
25:55 <Avatar> yeah that's a bit old
25:57 <kapow> because they have HD are their level for cohort level raised or is it purely on their class levels?
25:59 <Avatar> you can create your own now
26:09 <Mist> gotcha
26:20 <Blasticka> first you register
26:30 <Mekkis> Ask Your GM
26:34 <kapow> and when an animal is awakened does it then get a class level?
26:47 <kapow> how would you rule for wotw?
26:48 <Mekkis> are you intending to get one in WotW?
26:50 <Blasticka> that's the main first step because it allows you to roll up a character. but you have to go to paizo.com and register there as well to get a number
27:01 <kapow> I don't know
27:02 <Mist> Wait what why
27:11 <kapow> maybe one day I would like a hellhound friend
27:18 <Blasticka> it's basically just a formality
27:32 <Mekkis> hellhounds aren't magical beasts
27:33 <Mekkis> umm
27:34 <Mekkis> aren't awakened animals
27:37 <Blasticka> to keep track of your character sheets and connect them to you so we can keep track of your level and progress easily
27:43 <Mist> Ah okay
27:46 <Avatar> you need to register on pfrpg to get invites to games and to upload your sheet
27:53 <Avatar> you register on paizo because it's an official living campaign
27:54 <Blasticka> like, show em Avatar he can just use my characters name Ceybur
27:58 <kapow> I know i am just saying x beast
28:00 <Blasticka> and look up my sheet
28:17 <Avatar> what
28:27 <Blasticka> I've seen someone do it
28:29 <kapow> You can attract hellhounds to your cohort with leadership apparently
28:36 <Blasticka> search by my character's name to find their sheet
28:44 <Avatar> that's not important
28:50 <Blasticka> sorry I just think it's cool
28:55 <Blasticka> don't mind me
28:56 <Mekkis> at the minimum, I'll allow HD = level.
29:19 <Avatar> show off the cool stuff after the important stuff is done
29:43 <Mist> lolol
29:51 <Mist> registering things
30:29 <Blasticka> so just to check, from the way you type it seems like you might be that rarest of rare things, a female gamer?
31:02 <Mist> It's possible
31:33 <Blasticka> well many things are possible.
31:43 <Blasticka> some things are even probable.
31:56 <Mist> O
32:01 <Mist> Do I have to confirm and say y/n
32:04 <Blasticka> I probably shouldn't be distracting you we can chat after you get things sorted on paizo
32:06 <Blasticka> naw
32:19 <Mist> Idk I'm usually not on IRC at all
32:24 <Blasticka> but if you play with us we will eventually figure it out most likely since we use skype
32:28 <Mist> YES
32:31 <Mist> I love skype
32:34 <Mist> ; v ;
32:50 <Mist> fff but that will be a problem once classes start
33:04 <Mist> It's like what, 1:31PM over there?
33:07 <Blasticka> we have this one guy though, who doesn't talk on skype just listens and types. so that's an option
33:15 <Mist> It's 4:31 AM here
33:24 <Blasticka> no in the part of australia where I am, it's like 7pm
33:44 <Blasticka> for avatar and the rest probably closer to um, gosh it's a half hour one way or the other
33:51 <Mist> Well at least it's not a 12 hour difference
33:54 <Blasticka> either 6:30 or 7:30 I forget
35:40 <kapow> so with a score of 16 you'd be allowed 1 3HD creature :/?
36:50 <Mekkis> cohort
36:53 <Mekkis> not followers
43:37 <Mekkis> you having a pack of hellhounds behind you... not as sure as of yet
52:36 <Mekkis> 73656
54:43 <Mekkis> for reference, gold will be 73656gp, with 54 fame.
54:48 <Mekkis> and 54 prestige
55:06 <Blasticka> hey guys.
55:15 <Mekkis> oh no
55:19 <Mekkis> Blasticka has found me!
55:22 <Blasticka> wow. that looks like a big mission if ya get that much
55:28 <Blasticka> can I play! :-D
55:38 <Mekkis> yes.
55:46 <Blasticka> *pokes mekkis* do a mission for the little guys
55:50 <Mekkis> create a 10th-level PFS legal character
56:04 <Blasticka> am I allowed to just jump to 10th level?
56:12 <Mekkis> not in official PFS
56:23 <Avatar> yeah I am playing eyes soonish
56:41 <Avatar> in reality that could be in 3 months though
56:44 <Mekkis> but more character testing, and to provide a save environment for blatant unrepentant powergaming
57:00 <Mekkis> Avatar, could you create PFSQQ for me?
57:02 <Blasticka> so when is this game? how long do I have?
57:16 <Mekkis> when people have characters and are around
57:25 <Avatar> what is PFSQQ
57:38 <Mekkis> QQ, with PFS-legal characters
57:44 <Blasticka> hmmm. maybe I'll make a monk
57:52 <Mekkis> 10th level
57:57 <Blasticka> they don't need much gear and I wouldn't have much of a budget
57:58 <Avatar> er
58:01 <Avatar> what's the name of it
58:06 <Mekkis> PFSQQ
58:14 <Avatar> that's an abbreviation
58:32 <Mekkis> Crimoire PFS Style
58:51 <Blasticka> are there enough seats that my wife could play as well if she made one?
58:56 <Avatar> I think abbreviations are limited to 4 letters too
58:57 <Mekkis> sure
00:10 <Blasticka> so quick question, for the level 10, how much gold? still 150?
00:19 <Avatar> can you call it anything else, I'm not keen on putting PFS in the name of a campaign that isn't actually official PFS
00:40 <Avatar> QQ2 or something
01:45 <Mekkis> PFSQ ' ALTER TABLE CAMPAIGN SET ABBREV VARCHAR(6)
01:47 <Mekkis> ;--
02:03 <Mekkis> Sure, whatever floats your boat
02:15 <Mekkis> Blasticka, gold will be 73656gp, with 54 fame.
02:33 <Mekkis> (that's more than 'standard' pathfinder WBL)
02:51 <Blasticka> no I didn't mean for the reward, I meant for creation
03:29 <Avatar> okay it's added
03:31 <Mekkis> that's the creation
03:42 <Avatar> you can edit it to put whatever the players need to know
03:55 <Mekkis> thanks
05:21 <Blasticka> sweet. we can get some serious stuff then I'll start looking around
08:51 <Blasticka> allengirl wanted to know if there are any race restrictions other than the no drow rule Mekkis?
12:07 <Mekkis> PFS legal
12:35 <Mekkis> core + tengu + asimaar + tiefling
16:07 <Adrian> Is there a PFS legal list/spreadsheet of items I can purchase with gp?
16:55 <Brunius> It'd be pretty huge
17:08 <Brunius> ?legal
17:33 <Mekkis> Adrian, almost every item in Pathfinder is PFS-legal
17:35 <Brunius> !define legal: http://paizo.com/pathfinderSociety/about/additionalResources
17:36 <diebot> Brunius, http://paizo.com/pathfinderSociety/about/additionalResources defined as ??legal
17:45 <Brunius> !define global legal: http://paizo.com/pathfinderSociety/about/additionalResources
17:45 <diebot> Brunius, http://paizo.com/pathfinderSociety/about/additionalResources defined as ??legal
17:53 <Mekkis> but check with the additional resources before you buy stuff
18:21 <Mekkis> and what "no drow" rule, Blasticka?
18:24 <Adrian> I'll rephrase the Q then: Any spreadsheet of items? Or just in the Core Rulebook?
18:45 <Blasticka> I was told a flat "no drow" when I asked about it
18:48 <Brunius> Check the additional resources page there
18:51 <Blasticka> long time ago
18:53 <Mekkis> because in all the campaigns I've run, I've allowed drow
18:55 <Brunius> Everything in that is legal, Adrian
18:58 <Mekkis> Adrian, I have an sql database
19:11 <Mekkis> http://nl.ti4200.info/~mekkis/pathfinder.sqlite.bz2
19:37 <Adrian> thanks
20:52 <Blasticka> weird. cant remember now who told me no drow
21:37 <Adrian> gosh that additional resources list is so hard to read lol :P
22:36 <Blasticka> I'd be interested in playing a hobgoblin if only it wouldn't get my character into too many fights. :-/ sigh
27:11 <Blasticka> can I be an Oread?
27:35 <Mekkis> PFS-legal.
28:02 <Blasticka> sadly, I haven't played enough or bought enough pdf's to know if that is a yes or no...
28:24 <Mekkis> is it "core + aasimar + tengu + tiefling"?
28:32 <Blasticka> awwww. okay
28:48 <Blasticka> drow isn't either though so I though you might be making exceptions
29:09 <Mekkis> sorry, PFS is PFS
30:20 <Blasticka> no worries. this is fun
38:10 <Blasticka> okay. I'm stuck between half elf and human for my monk. suggestions?
40:17 <Mekkis> dwarf
40:27 <Blasticka> I considered that actually
40:38 <Blasticka> but the 20 movement, I figured that would bite me later on
40:50 <Mekkis> that +2 to saves is pretty good
41:44 <Blasticka> alright then. I really like dwarves
41:58 <Mekkis> monks get movement bonuses
42:07 <Blasticka> oh that's good.
47:10 <Blasticka> so at 10th, I'd get a bonus 30 putting me at 50 that's no worries. cool.
47:30 <Blasticka> time to get some ability scores sorted.
57:26 <Blasticka> alright. so I put in both of the level 4 and level 8 plus one stats, and these are my level 10 ability scores. can you check them mekkis if you don't mind?
57:37 <Blasticka> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/charsheet.php5?id=785
59:20 <Mekkis> yep
00:17 <Blasticka> am I hamstringing myself with the intel dump?
06:36 <Mekkis> probably not
06:45 <Mekkis> I wouldn't do it in real PFS, but in this, sure
07:28 <Blasticka> my goal was to make a monk who was REAAALLY good at punching things
08:28 <Blasticka> couldn't quite hit 20 strength though.
08:35 <Blasticka> sadly.
08:50 <Mekkis> sure you can
08:56 <Mekkis> just get a belt
09:04 <Blasticka> have to buy a bulls strenght belt or something
09:17 <Blasticka> haven't gotten into my shopping yet.
24:20 <kapow> If you want to crash at mine for the weekend avatar you are welcome to it like i said just let me know now, you offered it to me last year if i was to come down for the thing that was in melbourne
30:16 <Blasticka> I'm still waiting on my friend. I told him it was his job to build me a star trek teleporter.
30:30 <Blasticka> once he gets that done I'll be golden.
30:42 <Avatar> I'm not going man
30:43 <Avatar> lol
31:10 <Mekkis> I just asked for schematics for an angelic exoskeleton. I figured that'd be more achievable...
31:31 <Blasticka> you would need an average 10 year old, and some snow.
31:59 <Blasticka> oh and a shovel to collect it
32:19 <kapow> why not?
33:39 <Avatar> are you paying for plane ticket
33:49 <Blasticka> monks get so many feats in pfs
34:09 <kapow> nope I was just offering incase you could afford a plane ticket but not to stay somewhere aswell
34:11 <kapow> pitty
34:15 <kapow> it's going to be fun
34:39 <Avatar> unicon's coming
34:55 <Avatar> I don't think I'm going to get to do any plyaing
34:58 <Mekkis> I will bring a character sheet entered on a typewriter
35:17 <kapow> done on parchment too?
35:26 <Mekkis> maybe
35:52 <Mekkis> Anyone up for a PFS game run on USENET, just to annoy our new VC?
36:03 <Avatar> why would that annoy your VC
36:10 <Avatar> and if it does, why would you do it
37:18 <kapow> whats that?
37:30 <kapow> cause man he has to make impressions
37:37 <kapow> so they know what he is all about!
38:38 <Blasticka> a game right now?
39:35 <Avatar> blasticka did you say you would think about running a game
40:13 <Blasticka> I am very open to running first steps, or if someone helps me, I could do something higher level I just am seriously strapped for cash until the 23rd and can't buy any more pdf's
40:38 <Avatar> just start with first steps
40:54 <Blasticka> it would take a little prep cause I have a horrid time with devca usually
41:04 <Avatar> do you need a hand
41:13 <Avatar> CA should be super easy to deal with
41:23 <Blasticka> maybe I downloaded the wrong version I don't know
41:24 <Avatar> prepping maps shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes
41:29 <Avatar> ?ca
41:30 <diebot> Avatar, http://www.pfrpg.com.au/DevCA22b135.zip
41:34 <Avatar> that's the one you want
41:44 <Avatar> v2.2 build 135
42:31 <Mekkis> or, if you run linux, I have sourcecode for a better version :S
43:20 <kapow> mekkis with mounted combat can you ride check to avoid attacks made at you or your mount?
43:21 <Mekkis> time to make my oracle
43:23 <Blasticka> okay it must have been the right one before
43:27 <Mekkis> the mount
43:29 <kapow> or just one or the other and how often? 1 per round?
43:39 <Mekkis> you can use an immediate action to take cover behind your mount
43:41 <Blasticka> cause it just replaced it just now
44:02 <Mekkis> (then you can use stealth, because you have cover)
44:18 <kapow> so +4 to ac as an immediate if you want
44:23 <kapow> for cover
44:34 <Mekkis> unless Flood's your GM
44:45 <Mekkis> in which case it's "then he decides to attack your mount"
44:58 <Mekkis> which I'm not sure is in the rules, but w/e
44:59 <Blasticka> where do I find the maps for first steps and all that information?
45:17 <Avatar> download the scenario first
45:22 <Avatar> it's at paizo.com
45:33 <Blasticka> alright
45:46 <Avatar> then get this beauty: http://www.somepdf.com/some-pdf-image-extract.html
45:55 <kapow> yeah but you can make a ride check DC the to hit to avoid the hit right?
46:05 <Avatar> plug the PDF into that and it'll pull out all the images for you
46:06 <kapow> but how often only once per round?
46:26 <Mekkis> I use pdfimages
46:37 <Avatar> pdfimages isn't quicker than this
46:39 <Mekkis> only once per round, unless you have another feat
46:55 <Mekkis> it's not slower, and it's FOSS, which means it's better :0
47:08 <Avatar> what is FOSS
47:12 <kapow> whats the other feat mekkis?
47:18 <Mekkis> Free Open Source Software
47:32 <Mekkis> I don't remember. Look it up yourself
47:37 <Avatar> this is free
47:41 <Mekkis> and I don't have the data to search for it
47:47 <Mekkis> is it OSS?
47:59 <Avatar> I don't know
48:04 <Avatar> it's free to use
48:09 <Avatar> so I guess it is
48:15 <Mekkis> it has conditions attached?
48:26 <Avatar> none of that matters man
48:29 <Avatar> you open the file
48:30 <Avatar> click play
48:35 <Avatar> it spits out images into a folder
48:45 <Avatar> it doesn't cost you anything to use
48:48 <Avatar> what else do you need
48:54 <Avatar> to edit the program? nobody will do that
48:55 <Mekkis> you install it/run it, you have no idea what else it does to your computer
49:04 <Avatar> it does nothing else
49:10 <Avatar> are you paranoid
49:30 <Mekkis> no
49:48 <Avatar> then go ahead and install it
49:58 <Mekkis> no
50:03 <Avatar> why not
50:06 <Avatar> surely you are not paranoid
50:16 <Mekkis> so it requires installation?
50:22 <Avatar> yeah
50:28 <Mekkis> meaning it shoves stuff in your system that shouldn't be there
50:37 <Blasticka> hold on guys I'm getting behind lol
50:41 <Avatar> you mean like the program
50:53 <Avatar> you're missing nothing Blasticka
51:15 <Blasticka> are you playing with us then or are you the GM?
51:34 <Mekkis> yeah
51:46 <Mekkis> why should a utility like that require installation?
51:52 <Blasticka> I'm trying to get that image extractor
52:01 <kapow> !Amulet of Mighty fists
52:14 <kapow> whats the command for the items thing?
52:39 <Mekkis> ?!item

54:54 <kapow> !item Amulet of Mighty Fists
55:00 <diebot> kapow, AMULET OF MIGHTY FISTS +1 [faint evocation] CL:5 neck 5000gp, 0lb
55:00 <diebot> This amulet grants an enhancement bonus of +1 to +5 on attack and damage rolls with unarmed attacks and natural weapons. Alternatively, this amulet can grant melee weapon special abilities, so long as they can be applied to unarmed attacks. See Table: Melee Weapon Special Abilities for a list of abilities. Special abilities count as additional
55:00 <diebot> bonuses for determining the market value of the item, but do not modify attack or damage bonuses. An amulet of mighty fists cannot have a modified bonus (enhancement bonus plus special ability bonus equivalents) higher than +5. An amulet of mighty fists does not need to have a +1 enhancement bonus to grant a melee weapon special ability. Source:
55:00 <diebot> Ultimate Equipment
55:17 <Mekkis> ooh
55:17 <kapow> pricing is out of date XP
55:18 <Mekkis> outdated
55:29 <Mekkis> I'm scared to update it
55:35 <kapow> lol
55:42 <kapow> I am putting a +2 on my cat
55:48 <kapow> +1, Ghost touch
55:50 <Mekkis> :o
55:50 <Mekkis> why?
55:58 <Avatar> Maestro: did you get my message on skype
56:00 <Mekkis> seems dumb
56:02 <kapow> so it can hit incorporeal stuff
56:03 <kapow> why?
56:13 <Avatar> I need to know if you're applying this to a new level 1 guy immediately or at level 7 when you get there
56:21 <Maestro> I'll check, I don't seem to be logged on at the moment
56:24 <kapow> can't permenancy a Magic Fang Greater +5 on the cat in pfs :/
56:35 <Mekkis> this is for PFSQQ?
56:39 <Avatar> the difference is 3502gp vs 500gp, and if you wait till level 7 and die and don't get raised, you lose the credit entirely
56:40 <kapow> yeah
56:48 <Mekkis> what class?
56:53 <kapow> the Ranger 10
57:05 <Mekkis> !spell greater magic fang
57:12 <diebot> Mekkis, MAGIC FANG transmutation ([]) druid 1, ranger 1, summoner 1 1 standard action Range: touch living creature touched Comp: V, S, DF Duration: 1 min./level Save: Will negates (harmless) SR:yes (harmless)
57:12 <diebot> Magic fang gives one natural weapon or unarmed strike of the subject a +1 enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls. The spell can affect a slam attack, fist, bite, or other natural weapon. The spell does not change an unarmed strike's damage from nonlethal damage to lethal damage. Magic fang can be made permanent with a permanency spell.
57:15 <kapow> for Tsar i am just buying a 20th caster level Greater Magic Fang
57:26 <kapow> and putting permanancy on the cat and paying for pots of both at 20th
57:27 <Mekkis> !spell magic fang, greater
57:28 <diebot> Mekkis, MAGIC FANG, GREATER transmutation ([]) druid 3, ranger 3, summoner 3 1 standard action Range: close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) one living creature Comp: V, S, DF Duration: 1 hour/level Save: Will negates (harmless) SR:yes (harmless)
57:28 <diebot> This spell functions like magic fang, except that the enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls is +1 per four caster levels (maximum +5). This bonus does not allow a natural weapon or unarmed strike to bypass damage reduction aside from magic. Alternatively, you may imbue all of the creature's natural weapons with a +1 enhancement bonus
57:28 <diebot> (regardless of your caster level). Greater magic fang can be made permanent with a permanency spell.
57:34 <kapow> so it is hard to dispell
57:49 <Mekkis> you could hardcast magic fang
58:34 <kapow> why I can afford to spend the money on the cat cause I am crafting all my own gear for 50%
58:36 <kapow> pretty much
59:08 <kapow> +5 compositre longbow (5) for 25,375gp yes please
59:17 <Mekkis> what I'm getting at, is
59:27 <kapow> for the PFSQQ though it's a bit more expensive sadly :(
59:31 <kapow> but in the buy limits!
59:35 <Mekkis> that a +1 on the amulet is dumb
59:51 <Mekkis>  An amulet of mighty fists does not need to have a +1 enhancement bonus to grant a melee weapon special ability.
00:14 <kapow> right now i understand what why your saying it's useless
00:27 <Mekkis> no, it's not useless
00:30 <Mekkis> it's just dumb
00:51 <kapow> but you still need magical attacks to hit certain things
00:57 <kapow> that ghost touch doesn't provide yeah?
01:25 <Mekkis> sure
01:28 <kapow> thats why i was going to pay for it that way
01:41 <Mekkis> but that's what Magic fang / greater magic fang is for
01:52 <Mekkis> or, a &Bodywrap of mighty strikes
02:00 <diebot> BODYWRAP OF MIGHTY STRIKES +1 [faint evocation] CL:5 body 3000gp, 1lb
02:00 <diebot> The description is too long to send over IRC. View http://nl.ti4200.info/vpsirc/items/bodywrap_of_mighty_strikes_+1.html
02:50 <Maestro> I guess I'll apply it at level 7
03:08 <Blasticka> okay I've downloaded the first part and read the intro and summary
03:39 <Blasticka> we had a bunch of new players interested in a game but most of them are gone at the moment
03:59 <Blasticka> maybe we can schedule something for Friday
04:12 <Blasticka> I could probably be ready by then
04:29 <kapow> thing is mekkis is in PFS animal companions only have a neck slow
04:30 <kapow> slot
04:37 <kapow> unless you spent feats to give them specific ones
04:39 <Mekkis> unless you take the feat
05:49 <kapow> spend*
05:54 <kapow> stupid fingers

07:11 <Mekkis> Avatar, here's an item for you!
07:18 <Mekkis> !item Robe of infinite twine
07:19 <diebot> Mekkis, ROBE OF INFINITE TWINE [moderate conjuration] CL:7 body 1000gp, 1lb
07:19 <diebot> This coarse hempen robe seems made from a single strand of twine. The wearer can draw up to 30 feet of twine or up to 10 feet of hemp rope per round from the robe without harming it. As an immediate action, the wearer can draw up to 150 feet of twine or 50 feet of rope from the robe, but this gives the robe the broken condition and suppresses its
07:19 <diebot> powers until it is repaired. Twine or rope drawn from the robe remains connected until cut or torn, but is treated as common material rather than part of a magic item. Pieces removed become normal twine or rope. Source: Ultimate Equipment
07:59 <Wrothmonk> Hey avatar, how well do you think true sorcery might be received if I just jumped into games without any playtests?
08:02 <Mekkis> I'll be GMing some stuff, but anyone's welcome to GM
08:06 <kapow> that's kind of cool
08:29 <kapow> Mekkis my other idea for a character was a cavalier with rogue levels
08:41 <Mekkis> heh
08:53 <kapow> dip 3 levels of rogue then go cavalier and get gang up on the animal companion and for yourself
08:59 <Mekkis> cover behind mount -> stealth -> charge lance sneak attack?
09:02 <kapow> then just pounce full round sneak attack
09:06 <Avatar> you need people to play first man
09:15 <kapow> something like that
09:24 <kapow> I am burning scenarios left right and centre atm
09:24 <kapow> or do it on a Trex
09:27 <kapow> on wednesdays
09:28 <Avatar> kapow
09:28 <kapow> and just charge yeah
10:07 <Blasticka> good morning.
10:09 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, start by writing the rules.
10:25 <Blasticka> man is it cold in stirling today
10:40 <Mekkis> hmmm
10:48 <kapow> I want to just bring a T-rex to the table and be able to say it's my mount
10:53 <Mekkis> how much does hemp rope cost?
11:02 <Wrothmonk> oh wait. Nevermind, I will have to argue with mekkis about stuff I have already explained to him.
11:08 <Blasticka> like 5 gold for 50 feet
11:13 <Wrothmonk> so forget it.
11:22 <Blasticka> silk weighs less but costs 10 gold for 50 feet
11:29 <kapow> 1gp per 50ft
11:31 <kapow> actually
11:42 <kapow> danke
11:43 <kapow> Rope, hemp (50 ft.) 1 gp 10 lbs.
11:44 <Blasticka> oops. my bad
11:47 <Mekkis> and twine?
11:48 <Mekkis> I'm not trying to argue
11:54 <Mekkis> Data Used 96% (1965 MB)
11:55 <Mekkis> I'm trying to get clarification
11:58 <Mekkis> goodnight
12:01 <Wrothmonk> Could've fooled me.
12:35 <Blasticka> are there any good items that give monks a bonus to armor class besides a protection ring?
12:40 <Mekkis> 1cp
12:45 <Blasticka> like armored bracers or something?
13:03 <Mekkis> UMD wand of mage armour :)
13:09 <Mekkis> so the roe of infinite twine can produce 10' of hemp rope each round, or 100' each minute
13:23 <Mekkis> 100' of rope sells for 1gp.
13:23 <kapow> 2gp a minute
13:38 <kapow> yeah okay 1gp a minute
13:39 <Blasticka> as a dwarf, my umd is not that good lol
13:49 <kapow> buys Robe of inifinite twine
13:56 <kapow> pulls rope from it for the entire adventure
13:56 <Mekkis> There are 840 minutes in a day
13:58 <kapow> sells the rope
14:16 <Mekkis> Brock ruled that "If a magic item creates an item, it's yours to keep"
14:18 <CWheezy> bracers of armor
14:31 <Mekkis> hmmm.....
15:05 <Avatar> you can hear the abuse ticker all the way from here
15:22 <Mekkis> get your Party Sorcerer to cast it
15:28 <CWheezy> amulet of nat armor
16:11 <Blasticka> I'll look into those thanks
19:55 <CWheezy> ring of force shield is one
20:18 <Mekkis> &mistmail is close enough
21:41 <Blasticka> think I'll go with amulet of natural armor 3
21:51 <Blasticka> and maybe a couple rings
21:51 <Mekkis> it's best to diversify
22:05 <Mekkis> also, watch your slots
28:59 <Blasticka> night mekkis
54:21 <Blasticka> avatar are you still awake?
54:46 <Blasticka> or anyone who can answer this, I need to know what if any the bonus to your initiative is as you level up
58:29 <Avatar> yo
58:35 <Avatar> no it's not
58:52 <Avatar> init bonuses are few and far between
58:56 <Avatar> +dex mod
59:07 <Avatar> +4 if you have the improved initiative feat
59:14 <Avatar> +2 if you have the reactionary trait
00:15 <Avatar> oracle and diviner wizard have some funky things that affect it
13:18 <kapow> there are a few more obscure ones
25:37 <Bloodlust> howdy
27:33 <Avatar> yo
27:37 <Avatar> what are the obscure ones
32:18 <Bloodlust> obscure?
34:11 <Bloodlust> eh?
56:39 <Bloodlust> anyone want to play dalsine at 6-7?
14:00 <Blasticka> okay then it's just plus 4 for me then thanks guys
16:34 <Bloodlust> Blasticka - want to play Dalsine in about 45 mins?
31:08 <Blasticka> hmmm
31:24 <Blasticka> I don't have a character in the 6-7 range
32:04 <Blasticka> is it a PFS thing or a private game?
33:08 <Bloodlust> PFS
33:12 <Bloodlust> You could play a pregen
33:41 <Blasticka> it's midnight here. how long do you think the game will go?
35:27 <Bloodlust> about 4 hours
35:43 <Bloodlust> Apparently it's one of the best games ever so I'm jumping at the chance
35:49 <Adrian> Is your game full?
35:54 <Bloodlust> nope
35:59 <Bloodlust> only got two people so far
36:05 <Bloodlust> https://app.roll20.net/join/158344/G53nzw
36:05 <Adrian> If you've got a +1 then I might do it with a pre-gen
36:57 <Bloodlust> plenty of room :)
36:59 <Blasticka> if I end up making the difference of whether the game gets played or not I'll consider it but I'm pretty tired already
37:01 <Bloodlust> You could both come
37:15 <Adrian> k I signed up
37:23 <Bloodlust> Well at the moment we only have two people, so more is definitely needed
37:38 <Adrian> Looks like four now! :P
38:22 <Bloodlust> That's including the GM
38:26 <Bloodlust> so only three players so far
38:40 <Adrian> kk
39:30 <Blasticka> much as I love playing I don't think tonight is a good night to stay up late. I'd miss my skype call with my parents tomorrow, and since I'm here in australia it's my only contact with them at the moment.
39:41 <Blasticka> think I better pass, sorry mate.
42:29 <Bloodlust> okay

19:09 <spider21b> so i was wondering where did patrick go i wanted to know his story for his homebrew game
19:28 <Blasticka> maybe he is hiding it
19:35 <Blasticka> to avoid spoilers!
21:04 <spider21b> spoilers where?
21:49 * Blasticka struggles for a moment, deciding whether or not to play with the spider
22:23 <Blasticka> naw he didn't really say anything about his campaign other than he has one he wants to run at some point. he was very hush hush.
23:13 <patrick> hey sorry I've been reading through this PFS stuff
24:32 <patrick> would you guy's like to see the introductory paragraph or something for it?  the story is still a jumble of things
25:03 <Blasticka> if you give spider anything he will not leave you alone until you let him play it. ;-) just a warning. I'm almost as bad
28:28 <Avatar> introductory paragraph of what
28:31 <Blasticka> but that's a yes we would love to read the beginning of your story
29:06 <Blasticka> patrick has a homebrew something or other in the works avatar.
29:33 <Maestro> Does it have lasers?
29:47 <Blasticka> on top of friggin sharks!
30:09 <Maestro> I don't wanna play it if it doesn't have lasers...
30:20 <Maestro> That's why I play a Gunslinger on PFS, because they shoot lasers
30:25 <Blasticka> and the starting gold is, onnnne milllion gold pieces!
31:03 <Maestro> MWAHAHAHAHAHA
32:37 <Maestro> One of these days I'm just gonna roll up a good ol' SMASH barbarian.
32:41 <patrick> In the furthest northern reaches of the world there is a place known only as the Veil, across endless plains of bleak white, through fathomless glaciers and churning black waters, there are mountains with summits far beyond the reach of mortal men. Their cold stone visages effaced by the wrathful ancient arctic winds whispering notions beyond the grasp of one who does not see from outside eternity.  The solemn gray arbiters stand forevermore unchan
32:42 <patrick> ging, the final bastion between earth and sky.  These are the Sentinels, as brutal and fatal as they are awe-inspiring in magnitude. Deep in the recesses of this range, high above the cloud-line, lies a humble and secluded sanctuary.  Carved into the face of the mountain, the entrance is weather-beaten stone blocks, with runes of an unknown origin barely legible on their surfaces.  A promontory stands overlooking immense landscape, incalculably vas
32:42 <patrick> t and never ending.  At it's edge stands a massive pyre of eternal flame reaching towards the top of the world.  Forgotten from the legends of old, and the records of new, the sanctuary has lied untouched and unknown for time unquantifiable. Deep within its walls, behind magical wards and mechanized traps lives a nigh-xenophobic cult of Elvish monks.  Further within, in the innermost chamber of the sanctuary lies a shard of existence in pure essenc
32:47 <patrick> e, suspended within the mortal realm via the use of powerful magicka unknown even to the monks themselves.  Pure immutable creation in and of itself, it is impossible to gaze upon with eyes suited for the plane mortal, thus the monks have sacrificed their eyesight so that they may pray in it's presence in order to maintain the magical ward preventing the shard from degrading from it's stable state.   The shard is a celestial artifact, forged outsid
32:52 <patrick> e of time and space.  At once it encompasses all of creation, and simultaneously spans forever, an empty void.  Though the monks do not know him by name the shard is a token of Yog-Sothoth - the Dark Tapestry in which all exists. 
34:21 <patrick> and Yog-Sothoth is an H.P. Lovecraft reference
34:45 <Maestro> It's a pretty widely-recognized reference ;)
34:47 <patrick> also a CN deity
34:53 <Blasticka> interesting. beautiful writing
35:04 <patrick> so something will happen with that
35:07 <Blasticka> lacks one main thing
35:15 <patrick> lasers?
35:20 <Maestro> Copyright?
35:23 <Blasticka> I assume the adventurer's are going to find out about this place and go there?
35:29 <patrick> no
35:38 <Blasticka> oh. okay.
37:15 <***> Buffer Playback...
37:15 <***> Playback Complete.
37:27 <patrick> to be vague
37:42 <Blasticka> just sayin. cool place, but if I am in character, there is no way I would know about it unless one of the elf monks ran away.
38:28 <patrick> it would be 'secret cult comes out of seclusion with dark prophecies'
38:59 <patrick> and i'm trying to work some sort of large scale regional political problem into the plot too
40:26 <Blasticka> well I have an idea
40:27 <Blasticka> that might work
40:51 <Blasticka> so this "cult" almost of elf monks has their own little world based on thier traditions and this shard right?
41:20 <patrick> yes
42:00 <Blasticka> what if the shard drove them slightly mad somehow either by shattering or disappearing or by changing color and having dark emanations, and these elves were driven by madness from their home to spread doomsday messages which would probably lead to some kind of war
42:01 <patrick> it's not so much a society though, more so a very small sequestered group
42:42 <patrick> well they wouldn't notice any changes in color they blinded themselves
43:06 <patrick> and the shard is more an anomaly of time and space
43:12 <patrick> than a crystal
43:30 <Blasticka> well what would it do to them if it suddenly wasn't there?
43:34 <patrick> it's a shard in the 'piece of something else' sense
44:09 <patrick> cause great alarm
44:27 <patrick> but any change would
44:52 <Blasticka> would it be enough to make them go search for it and say cryptic things that could incite whatever political problem you want to effect?
45:08 <patrick> it's sort of like a wound with shrapnel in reality that can't be taken out without consequence
45:36 <Blasticka> iiiinnnnteresting.
45:49 <patrick> the political problem was more going to be for how characters would find themselves aligned, being treated in towns
45:58 <Avatar> a more up-to-date getting started guide is about to go up
45:59 <patrick> social issues
46:04 <Blasticka> ah okay.
46:29 <patrick> and maybe more
47:07 <Blasticka> I misunderstood what you were going for then don't mind me
47:29 <Blasticka> gonna take a mibbit break and go find a game to play.
47:40 <Blasticka> anyone know a good rpg or mmorpg that they enjoy?
47:48 <Mekkis> nethack
48:00 <Blasticka> I tried nethack mekkis really i did
48:16 <Mekkis> some people play it for years before winning
48:39 <Blasticka> I kept getting burdened and there were no shops
48:46 <CWheezy> street fighter
48:56 <Mekkis> did you turn off autopickup?
49:08 <Blasticka> I though I had
49:10 <Mekkis> also, shops are for buying stuff
49:11 <Blasticka> *thought
49:24 <Mekkis> I hardly ever sell stuff in shops
50:10 <Blasticka> mekkis did you see earlier how we were trolling to try and get you to say something?
50:20 <Mekkis> nope
50:26 <Blasticka> it was pretty funny
50:40 <Mekkis> that's good

33:31 <Blasticka> one cool thing about the pfrpg.com site
33:42 <Blasticka> is that once you register there, it puts all the game times in your time zone
33:51 <Blasticka> so you don't have to work out time differences
34:02 <Mist> Awesome
34:32 <Blasticka> (assuming you know your own gmt timezone to input) lol
36:14 <Mist> WHy does this site ask me for my # o:
36:34 <Blasticka> they want your paizo.com number
36:38 <Blasticka> not your phone number
36:54 <Mist> it spec asks phone though
37:11 <Blasticka> oh. well I think that one must be optional cause I don't remember putting mine
37:40 <Blasticka> skype is all that really matters. and e-mail
38:21 <Blasticka> sometimes your chronicle sheets can't be skyped or mibbited, and get e-mailed instead
38:33 <Blasticka> rare. but happens
38:37 <Mist> mkay
38:42 <Adrian> Hey what's up you guys?
38:54 <Blasticka> hello adrian. we are helping a new member get sorted
38:59 <Blasticka> say hello to Mist
39:21 <Blasticka> I just met Adrian a couple days ago
39:22 <Adrian> Hey Mist.
39:36 <Blasticka> we have lots of new people showing up last few days which is good
40:14 <Mist> Hihi Adrian
40:21 <Mist> Really?
40:22 <Mist> Neat
40:48 <Mist> I started playing Magic the Gathering and I was wanting to try D&D or Pathfinder
41:18 <Mist> So I found my way over here somehow
41:24 <Blasticka> pathfinder is fun if you are with fun people. and I really like the people on here.
41:29 <Adrian> Got back into the Magic swing last week myself lol
41:32 <Adrian> Got an early M14 deck.
41:33 <Blasticka> that's our special artifact. *sagenod*
41:45 <Mist> Gosh
41:47 * Blasticka pats the trusty noob magnet artifact
41:48 <Mist> I want IRL cards but like
42:04 <Mist> when I was a little girl my cousins would tell me that cards were for guys
42:18 <Blasticka> hah! girl!
42:19 <Blasticka> :-)
42:23 <Mist> so when I got my first pack of yugioh cards, a pack of 5,
42:25 <Adrian> Ahh forget them! 
42:31 <Mist> I had the right leg of Exodia
42:31 <Mist> (:
42:38 <Blasticka> I remember yugioh cards
42:49 <Adrian> I love the game but HATE/am terrible at building decks.
43:41 <Mist> So I don't really want to get cards because it's just
43:42 <Blasticka> back when I played i was an average deck builder and a good player, until I found a group of realllly good judges and players to play with, and then I started getting obsessed.
43:46 <Mist> So unfamiliar
43:59 <Blasticka> if you go for a card game in real life
44:00 <Mist> And it will be a moneydrain
44:09 <Blasticka> be very careful. because yugioh is hugely expensive
44:14 <Blasticka> magic is hugely expensive
44:17 <Mist> Want Magic ):
44:40 <Adrian> YGO is hugely expensive. Magic can be expensive if you're playing a ton of draft events.
44:43 <Blasticka> my wife and I still have our standard decks from 2012-2013
44:55 <Mist> I found the PRETTIEST dice and I cannot find them anywhere except for the chessex site
45:02 <Blasticka> but the amount we spent to get those cards was huge for our budget.
45:04 <Mist> ...Which was last updated early 2012
45:05 <Blasticka> ooh. dice
45:17 <Blasticka> what do they look like?
45:18 <Mist> 2012
45:18 <Mist> ;_;
45:26 <Mist> Frosted with white numbers
45:44 <Mist> They look like icecubes
45:50 <Blasticka> awesome
45:54 <Blasticka> perfect for an ice mage
45:57 <Adrian> I bought an average set of dice + bag for like $5 on eBay. A set I really want are outrageously expensive lol.
45:58 <Mist> so i have made it a mission to find them
46:17 <Mist> God I'm upset that Crystal Caste hasn't updated their site either
46:27 <Mist> They have the prettiest black opal dice
47:22 <Blasticka> have you tried surfing through ebay?
47:38 <Mist> yep
47:38 <Blasticka> never know what you are going to find on there
47:39 <Mist> and any other dice dealing sites
47:55 <Mist> They have frosted with black numbers but not white
48:05 <CWheezy> I want dice from this guy
48:06 <CWheezy> http://artisandice.com/
48:07 <Mist> The black takes away from the frostiness ;_________;
48:13 <Blasticka> you make it sound like a cake
48:41 <Mist> The only difference is that you can't eat them
49:01 <Mist> omg the dice are so pretty
49:12 <Mist> And they're not rounded because the numbers are carved
51:30 <Mist> Okay accounts are done
51:41 <Mist> Aaaand League of Legends is updated!
51:50 <Blasticka> good job! look what happens when Blasticka shuts up
51:57 <Mist> lololol
52:10 <Blasticka> I play league as well sometimes.
52:25 <Blasticka> I bet I'm still on your server
52:32 <Mist> I was a gold rated support on season 2
52:43 <Mist> I have not played a lot of ranked this season
52:45 <Blasticka> ah. you are better than me then.
52:47 <Mekkis> I have gold plated dice
52:54 <Mist> gimme
53:27 <Mekkis> if you step on my d4 with bare feet, you can keep it.
53:28 <Mist> Okay I registeres on paizo for Pathfinder Society
53:36 <Mist> i'm down
53:44 <Blasticka> if I had to pick, I'd get emerald colored dice. and a few saphire, some ruby. so it looked like I was throwing around a bag of gems
53:45 <Mist> I dance so there's no way in hell that'll hurt
54:04 <Mekkis> you'd be surprised, mist
54:18 <Mist> is it pointy
54:20 <Mist> :<
54:20 <Blasticka> a d-4 is like a spike trap
54:24 <Mekkis> these WILL put a hole in your feet, and there WILL be blood.
54:29 <Mist> most are rounded though
54:31 <Blasticka> it's basically a gold plated pyramid
54:32 <Mist> so i am not worried
54:34 <Mekkis> this one isn't
54:38 <Mist> I have stepped on NAILS, SON
54:39 <CWheezy> ok, since there is no pick up game soon
54:47 <CWheezy> I am going to sleep
54:56 <Mekkis> CWheezy, unless you can pay me 15c per MB, no
55:06 <Blasticka> no we are GM'less
55:13 <Mist> Blasticka can I add you on skype? 
55:18 <Blasticka> sure
55:27 <Blasticka> it's easy. skype name is Blasticka
55:32 <Blasticka> but i should log it on
55:34 <Mekkis> because I have about 20MB of data left
55:48 <Blasticka> when does it recharge mekkis?
56:18 <Adrian> So looks like Mist is diving in here! :P
56:24 <Mist> Wait what
56:26 <Mist> Is there water
56:46 <Mekkis> 10th
56:54 <Mist> I have not swum/swam/swimmed/swimeth in months :<
58:00 <Mekkis> so someone find me a deity who would be good for a heavens oracle
58:12 patrick has quit (Quit: Leaving)
59:07 <Adrian> As a PFS newbie I'm looking forward to playing with other newbies! So far played a few pre-gen games so not much variety
59:59 <Mekkis> a lot of the GMs here are suffering low-level fatigue
04:09 <Avatar> blasticka seems keen to become a GM
04:16 <Mist> What's a GM
04:26 <Mist> What do I do now omg
04:27 <Mekkis> Game Master
04:29 <Adrian> game master
04:31 <Blasticka> I would do it if I owned the adventures
04:32 <Avatar> game master
04:38 <Blasticka> I'm a great story teller
04:43 <Avatar> first steps is free
04:48 <Mekkis> that being said, I might be able to run something like Black Waters...
04:49 <Blasticka> hmmmmmmmmmm
04:50 <Avatar> or the other scenarios are $4
04:51 <Adrian> Honestly I've always felt more comfortable DMing/GMing than being a player lol since DND back in the day.
05:03 <Avatar> adrian GM some games
05:19 <Adrian> There's no min requirement or prereqs? If not happy to do so.
05:30 <Avatar> just that you can make it fun
05:36 <Avatar> can you do that
05:44 <Adrian> I should yeah lol :P
06:02 <Mist> Do we have any Monster Hunter nerds in here
06:04 <Avatar> start GMing and we'll accommodate you first
06:43 <Mekkis> I haven't run Black Waters
06:52 <Mekkis> hmmm
07:18 <Blasticka> I've got monster hunter on my 3dS
07:27 <Blasticka> controls are so darn frusturating
07:35 <Mist> u srs?
07:43 <Blasticka> have a longsword at present and can't hit the broad side of a barn
07:48 <Mist> i just find the camera weird, everything else is fine
08:02 <Blasticka> i do like the boss monster camera fixed thing
08:04 <Mist> oh yeah longswords have that issue on the 3ds
08:14 <Mist> on Wii is was so much nicer
08:27 <Blasticka> haven't played it for a while
08:28 <Mist> I main Switch Axe/Longsword
08:57 <Blasticka> cause it takes so long to do most missions and I like to game in shorter bursts except for pfs
09:19 <Blasticka> I would get on the bus, get all ready to hunt, and then have 15 min to hunt before bus ride was over
09:30 <Mist> Well
09:31 <Blasticka> so I'm looking forward to pokemon x y might buy a copy of that
09:31 <Mist> Okay
09:33 <Mist> you get 2 traps
09:36 <Mist> 3 LBombs
09:41 <Mist> 2 smalls
09:42 <Mist> right
09:43 <Mist> so
10:07 <Blasticka> wait I have monster hunter 2 are we talking the same game?
10:08 <Mist> Set a trap, lay down 2 bombs, Cha-Cha and Kayamba will lay down 2 more, set down S bomb and watch the monster's head break
10:09 <Adrian> I might do first steps in that case at some point.
10:25 <Blasticka> if we get enough people adrian
10:37 <Mist> what is first steps omg
10:38 <Blasticka> we might be able to both GM a couple of them
11:02 <Blasticka> the typical introductory adventure for a new pathfinder
11:04 <Adrian> Yeah sure
11:09 <Blasticka> it's a 3 part series
11:19 <Adrian> Mist: 3-pt introductory game for new PFS players.
11:50 <Mist> grrrreat
12:05 <Blasticka> but you can't play if you haven't created a character
12:10 <Blasticka> which is your next task!
12:28 <Mist> do i have to fill the massive sheet
12:29 <Blasticka> this is a great website for helping come up with some ideas
12:45 <Blasticka> http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/gettingStarted.html
12:50 <Adrian> mwahaha character creation
12:50 <Adrian> :P
12:51 <Blasticka> this and us, will help you do it
13:02 <Blasticka> but yes you must fill the sheet
13:16 <Adrian> (don't worry I still don't understand half of it)
13:29 <Blasticka> the first thing to do is come up with an idea
13:43 <Blasticka> like, do you want to be a magey blast things with fire and ice person?
13:51 <Blasticka> ooorrr a sneaky ranger shooting things in the face?
14:07 <Blasticka> or perhaps a big strong but not to smart barbarian who chops things with axes
14:09 <Mist> how about thundery things
14:17 <Mist> bzzt
14:30 <Mist> i will zap all of the things
14:32 <Blasticka> well, sorcerers can use lightning
14:39 <Blasticka> or wizards I suppose
14:45 <Blasticka> but sorceres get bloodlines
14:48 mannequin ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
14:56 <Blasticka> it's been done before so not the most original character
15:03 <Blasticka> but you can be a dragon mage
15:13 <Blasticka> and have a lightning breath weapon
15:29 <Mist> you're going to have to give me a list of things that i can do with thundery stuff
15:48 <Mist> is there like something i can use that can mess with the weather
15:55 <Mist> that would be really fun
16:04 <Mist> (i don't know what i'm doing)
16:24 <Blasticka> well that would be the spell list
16:28 <Blasticka> one second
16:57 <Blasticka> http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/spellLists.html
17:09 <Mist> oh lawd
17:21 <Blasticka> so here are all the spells you can ever have
17:27 <Blasticka> unless you spend 9 bucks on a pdf
17:32 <Blasticka> and that gets you a few more
17:43 <Blasticka> I will try to find some lightning ones
18:17 <Blasticka> so there is shocking grasp
18:32 <Blasticka> which is where you basically shuffle your feet on the lambskin rug, and grab their arm. ZAP
18:55 <Mist> lovely
19:03 <Mist> now let's see if we can find some tesla coils
19:56 <Blasticka> lightning bolt shows up at 6th level
20:01 <Blasticka> and that's pretty powerful
20:20 <Blasticka> like in powder, electricity jumps from your hand and fries a knight in his fullplate
20:28 <Blasticka> ZAP
20:39 <Mist> mmm fried knight
21:16 <Blasticka> another weather one, is solid fog
21:33 <Mist> this is wizard/sorcerer?
21:35 <Blasticka> with a wave of your hands the clouds roll in, and you can't move or see anything!!
21:41 <Blasticka> yes
21:43 <Mist> lovely
21:48 <Mist> i'll do either of those
21:53 <Blasticka> they have the most electricity stuff
22:21 <Blasticka> lets take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of both
22:54 <Blasticka> wizards main stat is intelligence
23:13 <Blasticka> which helps in knowledge checks and that can make or break a mission sometimes
23:54 <Blasticka> however, wizards do not get eschew materials for free, so they either have to pick it with one of their feats, or worry about not being able to cast a spell if they run out of bat wings
24:20 <Blasticka> *tip, even though bat wings sound like chicken wings, they are not tasty and you should not eat them*
24:33 <Mist> eschew
25:41 <Blasticka> although wizards do get a familiar or bonded item, which can be cool.
25:55 <Blasticka> as for sorcerers, lets take a quick look at them
26:01 <Mist> i recognize the term from binding of isaac
26:16 <kapow> mekkis are you around?
26:39 <Blasticka> ah the ram in the thicket
26:39 <kapow> an animal companion thath as 1 point in linguistics can understand 1 language but can't speak it
26:50 <kapow> how do you display linguistics on it's skills listing
26:55 <Blasticka> yes mekkis is around but on low internet
26:56 <kapow> as a -3
27:03 <kapow> because of the -4 int bonus
27:07 <kapow> to show you've trained it?
27:29 <Blasticka> okay. the cool thing about sorcerers Mist is that they get a bloodline, which awards them bonus spells and abilities
27:38 <Mist> how so
27:39 <Mekkis> don't know
27:39 <Blasticka> Ceybur chose elemental, and fire
27:53 <Blasticka> so at 1st level, I had in addition to my other spells
28:12 <Blasticka> six uses of "elemental ray" which if it hits does 1d6 fire damage
28:26 <Mist> 6 uses
28:27 <Mist> daym
28:30 <Blasticka> doesn't sound like much, but at low levels every spell counts
29:12 <Blasticka> and it's a touch ray. problem with rays is that if a fighter is in melee with the target, you get a -4 to the attack
29:31 <Blasticka> but if you manage to roll decently, it's against their touch armor class and ignores armor for the most part
29:42 <Mist> lovely
29:43 <Blasticka> same with the other cantrips like frost ray
29:48 <Blasticka> but cantrips are fun
29:56 <Blasticka> both wizards and sorcs get cantrips
30:06 <Blasticka> and level 0 spells can be cast infinite times per day
30:26 <Blasticka> so picking something in your cantrips that can do damage is a good idea. even if it's low damage
30:43 <Mist> gotcha
31:07 <Blasticka> okay but we haven't got to the best part about sorcerers
31:19 <Blasticka> they probably start out weaker than wizards at the beginning
31:30 <kapow> am asking how you want it displayed on QQ char sheets mekkis
31:53 <Mist> go on...
32:06 <Blasticka> well, if you for instance chose the Draconic bloodline
32:14 <Blasticka> you would grow claws at 1st level
32:24 <Blasticka> which allows you to make a few melee attacks per day
32:56 <Mist> that sounds great!
32:57 <Blasticka> and at 9th level you get a breath weapon according to your dragon choice, acid damage, fire damage, electricity, frost etc
33:15 <Blasticka> that's a bit overpowered if you get to it cause you can hit a bunch of things at once without hurting your party
33:30 <Blasticka> I think pfs characters retire at level 12 though
33:53 <Blasticka> so you wouldn't make it to the really fun stuff at 20, although for higher levels we can do home brew games
34:06 <Blasticka> I went elemental though not draconic
34:21 <Blasticka> after looking at all the bloodlines those 2 looked like the most fun
34:48 <Mist> they do seem pretty legit
35:08 <Blasticka> if you chose elemental electricity, at level 15 you would be able to fly 60ft instead of walking
36:23 <Mist> i'm down for that
36:26 <Blasticka> but really, you have to look at what you get from level 3 to 8
36:54 <Mist>  well right now i don't know what i want
37:02 <Mist> so i'll just have to pick something and go with it
37:03 <Blasticka> since from what I've heard, the surviveability of characters after level 10 goes down
37:11 <Blasticka> well you want to be a magic user
37:18 <mannequin> syphon their spells into a book recharacteris it
37:42 <Blasticka> it seems to me that you might prefer a sorcerer but I'm biased.
37:49 <mannequin> every wizard knows not to steal unknown spells
37:57 <Blasticka> sorcerers are very charismatic with thier charisma score
38:07 <Blasticka> so they can bluff people, intimidate, or be diplomatic
38:22 <Blasticka> where a wizard is really smart and knows some trick to help the party
38:31 <mannequin> at high levels better than a master degree
38:48 <Mist> i'll do either
38:50 <mannequin> dynamo
39:12 <Blasticka> sorcerers have the power in their blood, and that is where the bloodlines come from
39:23 <Blasticka> wizards study for years
39:28 <Blasticka> would your character study, or wing it?
40:28 <Blasticka> brb
40:30 <Mist> probs study 
40:40 <Mist> i do both actually
40:46 <Mist> damn.
40:51 <Blasticka> which is stronger?
41:26 <mannequin> warlocks
44:24 <Mekkis> wizard actually
44:33 <Mekkis> but
44:39 <Mekkis> Sorcerer is easier to play
45:18 <Mist>  guess i'll start with a sorcerer then
45:19 <mannequin> okay
45:20 <Mekkis> (unless you get bored of three levels of first-level spells, start multiclassing, and ruin everything - like Spider likes doing)
45:38 <Mist> huh
45:57 <Mekkis> problem with sorcerers is that their spell mix doesn't advance as quickly
46:00 <mannequin> warlocks collect both
46:04 <Mekkis> but if you stay with it, you're fine
46:19 <mannequin> their levels are bound and locked out
47:00 <Blasticka> they are saying that sorcerers stay sorcerers and don't pick another class like fighter halfway through
47:32 <Mekkis> kapow, if PFSQQ ends up like anything like QQ, the online character sheet isn't going to help, and you'd be better off using a text-based one
47:49 <Mekkis> !find Nameless One
47:51 <dicebot> Mekkis, no results found. Give me a few minutes to update my database.
48:11 <Mekkis> !findchar Nameless One
48:19 <diebot> Mekkis, Character: Nameless One, number: title>( http://www.pfrpg.com.au/viewchar.php5?char=title> )
50:14 <Blasticka> mekkis I got your message about WotW. I'm trying to clear my schedule, are there enough spots for me?
51:43 <Mekkis> Blasticka, if someone PMs you, it's polite to respond in PM.
51:45 <mannequin> warlocks can blackout levels and customise time channels reinvent solar system
51:58 <Mekkis> mannequin, what are you talking about?
52:09 <Brunius> What the heck is a warlock
52:14 <Blasticka> sorry I tried, and asked you to change from +R
52:27 <Mekkis> it asked YOU to register :)
52:30 <mannequin> nah nothing 
52:31 Mekkis sets mode -R Mekkis
52:36 <Blasticka> didn't want you to think I was ignoring you
52:55 <Blasticka> I've tried to do the registering thing a few times with no success. I can try again I suppose
53:15 <Mekkis> ask in #asd for assistance
54:08 mannequin has quit (Quit: )
54:34 <Mist> i think i should head off and go to sleep
54:37 <Mist> good night y'all
54:42 <Mist> Thanks for the help!
54:55 Mist has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
55:22 <Mekkis> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/viewchar.php5?char=182
56:05 <Mekkis> kapow, even herolab would have a problem resolving that character, the online character sheet thingy has no chance in hell
00:46 <Blasticka> alright. with that, I think I'm going to take a short break.
04:41 spider21b has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
06:54 <kapow> thats lvl 19 though not 10
08:02 <Mekkis> sure
10:10 <kapow> I just want to compress all the data i have onto a sheet
10:24 <kapow> done most the calculating already
11:20 <Mekkis> I still recommend text sheets
16:59 <Avatar> text 4eva
17:32 <Avatar> the wotw one I tried using is driving me a bit crazy after years of text sheets
17:48 <Brunius> Avatar, can you read your sheet after three days at a con
17:56 <Avatar> yeah of course
18:06 <Avatar> can't you
18:25 <Brunius> I use a proper sheet, not text
18:29 <Brunius> So it's not applicable
18:44 <Avatar> I don't get it, what do you think is the problem
18:46 <Brunius> I just remember you complaining about text sheets and cons
18:55 <Brunius> Particularly item purchases, I think
18:57 <Avatar> having to reprint them 
19:02 <Avatar> after levelling up
19:12 <Mekkis> so? Carry a printer on the plane
19:14 <Mekkis> I do
19:36 <Mekkis> I printed my last character sheet out while flying from Singapore to Brisbane.
19:39 <Avatar> I have a printer at my place
19:47 <Avatar> I don't need to bring one on a plane I'm not going to catch
20:08 <Mekkis> fine. Then drive to Brisbane for Paizocon :
20:08 <Mekkis> )
20:22 <Avatar> pass
20:24 <Avatar> when is paizocon
20:47 <Mekkis> end of august
21:03 <Mekkis> 30th, 31st and 1st
21:11 <Avatar> that's almost 2 months !
21:19 <Mekkis> yeah.
21:19 <kapow> I may be able to put 1 person up for paizocon if you let me know early so can get it past flat mates
21:34 <Mekkis> kapow, can you give me a lift home?
22:05 <kapow> yeah not a problem man
23:27 <kapow> If you want to crash at mine for the weekend avatar you are welcome to it like i said just let me know now, you offered it to me last year if i was to come down for the thing that was in melbourne
29:22 <Blasticka> I'm still waiting on my friend. I told him it was his job to build me a star trek teleporter.
29:36 <Blasticka> once he gets that done I'll be golden.
29:49 <Avatar> I'm not going man
29:50 <Avatar> lol
30:14 <Mekkis> I just asked for schematics for an angelic exoskeleton. I figured that'd be more achievable...
30:39 <Blasticka> you would need an average 10 year old, and some snow.
31:05 <Blasticka> oh and a shovel to collect it
31:26 <kapow> why not?
32:45 <Avatar> are you paying for plane ticket
33:15 <kapow> nope I was just offering incase you could afford a plane ticket but not to stay somewhere aswell
33:17 <kapow> pitty
33:22 <kapow> it's going to be fun
33:46 <Avatar> unicon's coming
34:02 <Avatar> I don't think I'm going to get to do any plyaing
34:03 <Mekkis> I will bring a character sheet entered on a typewriter
34:24 <kapow> done on parchment too?
34:31 <Mekkis> maybe
34:56 <Mekkis> Anyone up for a PFS game run on USENET, just to annoy our new VC?
35:10 <Avatar> why would that annoy your VC
35:16 <Avatar> and if it does, why would you do it
36:25 <kapow> whats that?
36:36 <kapow> cause man he has to make impressions
36:43 <kapow> so they know what he is all about!
37:45 <Blasticka> a game right now?
38:41 <Avatar> blasticka did you say you would think about running a game
39:20 <Blasticka> I am very open to running first steps, or if someone helps me, I could do something higher level I just am seriously strapped for cash until the 23rd and can't buy any more pdf's
39:44 <Avatar> just start with first steps
40:03 <Blasticka> it would take a little prep cause I have a horrid time with devca usually
40:10 <Avatar> do you need a hand
40:19 <Avatar> CA should be super easy to deal with
40:29 <Blasticka> maybe I downloaded the wrong version I don't know
40:30 <Avatar> prepping maps shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes
40:35 <Avatar> ?ca
40:36 <diebot> Avatar, http://www.pfrpg.com.au/DevCA22b135.zip
40:40 <Avatar> that's the one you want
40:52 <Avatar> v2.2 build 135
41:11 <Mekkis> or, if you run linux, I have sourcecode for a better version :S
42:27 <kapow> mekkis with mounted combat can you ride check to avoid attacks made at you or your mount?
42:29 <Blasticka> okay it must have been the right one before
42:33 <Mekkis> the mount
42:35 <kapow> or just one or the other and how often? 1 per round?
42:44 <Mekkis> you can use an immediate action to take cover behind your mount
42:47 <Blasticka> cause it just replaced it just now
43:06 <Mekkis> (then you can use stealth, because you have cover)
43:25 <kapow> so +4 to ac as an immediate if you want
43:29 <kapow> for cover
43:39 <Mekkis> unless Flood's your GM
43:49 <Mekkis> in which case it's "then he decides to attack your mount"
44:03 <Mekkis> which I'm not sure is in the rules, but w/e
44:05 <Blasticka> where do I find the maps for first steps and all that information?
44:23 <Avatar> download the scenario first
44:28 <Avatar> it's at paizo.com
44:39 <Blasticka> alright
44:52 <Avatar> then get this beauty: http://www.somepdf.com/some-pdf-image-extract.html
45:02 <kapow> yeah but you can make a ride check DC the to hit to avoid the hit right?
45:11 <Avatar> plug the PDF into that and it'll pull out all the images for you
45:12 <kapow> but how often only once per round?
45:31 <Mekkis> I use pdfimages
45:43 <Avatar> pdfimages isn't quicker than this
45:44 <Mekkis> only once per round, unless you have another feat
46:00 <Mekkis> it's not slower, and it's FOSS, which means it's better :0
46:14 <Avatar> what is FOSS
46:19 <kapow> whats the other feat mekkis?
46:23 <Mekkis> Free Open Source Software
46:37 <Mekkis> I don't remember. Look it up yourself
46:43 <Avatar> this is free
46:46 <Mekkis> and I don't have the data to search for it
46:50 <Mekkis> is it OSS?
47:05 <Avatar> I don't know
47:11 <Avatar> it's free to use
47:15 <Avatar> so I guess it is
47:21 <Mekkis> it has conditions attached?
47:32 <Avatar> none of that matters man
47:35 <Avatar> you open the file
47:36 <Avatar> click play
47:41 <Avatar> it spits out images into a folder
47:51 <Avatar> it doesn't cost you anything to use
47:53 <Avatar> what else do you need
48:00 <Avatar> to edit the program? nobody will do that
48:00 <Mekkis> you install it/run it, you have no idea what else it does to your computer
48:11 <Avatar> it does nothing else
48:20 <Avatar> are you paranoid
48:34 <Mekkis> no
48:54 <Avatar> then go ahead and install it
49:03 <Mekkis> no
49:09 <Avatar> why not
49:12 <Avatar> surely you are not paranoid
49:21 <Mekkis> so it requires installation?
49:28 <Avatar> yeah
49:33 <Mekkis> meaning it shoves stuff in your system that shouldn't be there
49:43 <Blasticka> hold on guys I'm getting behind lol
49:48 <Avatar> you mean like the program
49:59 <Avatar> you're missing nothing Blasticka
50:40 <Mekkis> yeah
50:50 <Mekkis> why should a utility like that require installation?
50:59 <Blasticka> I'm trying to get that image extractor
51:10 <kapow> !Amulet of Mighty fists
51:21 <kapow> whats the command for the items thing?
51:41 <Mekkis> ?!item
51:46 <diebot> Mekkis, Lookup an item. !item <item name>. Uses Levenshtein Algorithm to determine closest match. eg. !item Staff of Toxins
52:09 <Avatar> sorry, this is the version I use, 1.5: http://pdf-image-extractor.en.softonic.com/
54:01 <kapow> !item Amulet of Mighty Fists
54:06 <diebot> kapow, AMULET OF MIGHTY FISTS +1 [faint evocation] CL:5 neck 5000gp, 0lb
54:07 <diebot> This amulet grants an enhancement bonus of +1 to +5 on attack and damage rolls with unarmed attacks and natural weapons. Alternatively, this amulet can grant melee weapon special abilities, so long as they can be applied to unarmed attacks. See Table: Melee Weapon Special Abilities for a list of abilities. Special abilities count as additional
54:07 <diebot> bonuses for determining the market value of the item, but do not modify attack or damage bonuses. An amulet of mighty fists cannot have a modified bonus (enhancement bonus plus special ability bonus equivalents) higher than +5. An amulet of mighty fists does not need to have a +1 enhancement bonus to grant a melee weapon special ability. Source:
54:07 <diebot> Ultimate Equipment
54:21 <Mekkis> ooh
54:23 <Mekkis> outdated
54:23 <kapow> pricing is out of date XP
54:34 <Mekkis> I'm scared to update it
54:42 <kapow> lol
54:48 <kapow> I am putting a +2 on my cat
54:53 <Mekkis> :o
54:55 <kapow> +1, Ghost touch
54:55 <Mekkis> why?
55:05 <Mekkis> seems dumb
55:07 <kapow> so it can hit incorporeal stuff
55:09 <kapow> why?
55:30 <kapow> can't permenancy a Magic Fang Greater +5 on the cat in pfs :/
55:40 <Mekkis> this is for PFSQQ?
55:47 <kapow> yeah
55:53 <Mekkis> what class?
56:00 <kapow> the Ranger 10
56:10 <Mekkis> !spell greater magic fang
56:18 <diebot> Mekkis, MAGIC FANG transmutation ([]) druid 1, ranger 1, summoner 1 1 standard action Range: touch living creature touched Comp: V, S, DF Duration: 1 min./level Save: Will negates (harmless) SR:yes (harmless)
56:18 <diebot> Magic fang gives one natural weapon or unarmed strike of the subject a +1 enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls. The spell can affect a slam attack, fist, bite, or other natural weapon. The spell does not change an unarmed strike's damage from nonlethal damage to lethal damage. Magic fang can be made permanent with a permanency spell.
56:21 <kapow> for Tsar i am just buying a 20th caster level Greater Magic Fang
56:32 <kapow> and putting permanancy on the cat and paying for pots of both at 20th
56:33 <Mekkis> !spell magic fang, greater
56:34 <diebot> Mekkis, MAGIC FANG, GREATER transmutation ([]) druid 3, ranger 3, summoner 3 1 standard action Range: close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) one living creature Comp: V, S, DF Duration: 1 hour/level Save: Will negates (harmless) SR:yes (harmless)
56:34 <diebot> This spell functions like magic fang, except that the enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls is +1 per four caster levels (maximum +5). This bonus does not allow a natural weapon or unarmed strike to bypass damage reduction aside from magic. Alternatively, you may imbue all of the creature's natural weapons with a +1 enhancement bonus
56:34 <diebot> (regardless of your caster level). Greater magic fang can be made permanent with a permanency spell.
56:40 <kapow> so it is hard to dispell
56:54 <Mekkis> you could hardcast magic fang
57:40 <kapow> why I can afford to spend the money on the cat cause I am crafting all my own gear for 50%
57:44 <kapow> pretty much
58:13 <kapow> +5 compositre longbow (5) for 25,375gp yes please
58:22 <Mekkis> what I'm getting at, is
58:32 <kapow> for the PFSQQ though it's a bit more expensive sadly :(
58:37 <kapow> but in the buy limits!
58:40 <Mekkis> that a +1 on the amulet is dumb
58:55 <Mekkis>  An amulet of mighty fists does not need to have a +1 enhancement bonus to grant a melee weapon special ability.
59:21 <kapow> right now i understand what why your saying it's useless
59:32 <Mekkis> no, it's not useless
59:35 <Mekkis> it's just dumb
59:57 <kapow> but you still need magical attacks to hit certain things
00:04 <kapow> that ghost touch doesn't provide yeah?
00:31 <Mekkis> sure
00:34 <kapow> thats why i was going to pay for it that way
00:47 <Mekkis> but that's what Magic fang / greater magic fang is for
00:58 <Mekkis> or, a &Bodywrap of mighty strikes
01:07 <diebot> BODYWRAP OF MIGHTY STRIKES +1 [faint evocation] CL:5 body 3000gp, 1lb
01:08 <diebot> The description is too long to send over IRC. View http://nl.ti4200.info/vpsirc/items/bodywrap_of_mighty_strikes_+1.html
02:14 <Blasticka> okay I've downloaded the first part and read the intro and summary
02:45 <Blasticka> we had a bunch of new players interested in a game but most of them are gone at the moment
03:04 <Blasticka> maybe we can schedule something for Friday
03:18 <Blasticka> I could probably be ready by then
03:35 <kapow> thing is mekkis is in PFS animal companions only have a neck slow
03:36 <kapow> slot
03:43 <kapow> unless you spent feats to give them specific ones
03:44 <Mekkis> unless you take the feat
04:55 <kapow> spend*
05:01 <kapow> stupid fingers
06:16 <Mekkis> Avatar, here's an item for you!
06:22 <Mekkis> !item Robe of infinite twine
06:24 <diebot> Mekkis, ROBE OF INFINITE TWINE [moderate conjuration] CL:7 body 1000gp, 1lb
06:25 <diebot> This coarse hempen robe seems made from a single strand of twine. The wearer can draw up to 30 feet of twine or up to 10 feet of hemp rope per round from the robe without harming it. As an immediate action, the wearer can draw up to 150 feet of twine or 50 feet of rope from the robe, but this gives the robe the broken condition and suppresses its
06:25 <diebot> powers until it is repaired. Twine or rope drawn from the robe remains connected until cut or torn, but is treated as common material rather than part of a magic item. Pieces removed become normal twine or rope. Source: Ultimate Equipment
07:13 <kapow> that's kind of cool
07:35 <kapow> Mekkis my other idea for a character was a cavalier with rogue levels
07:46 <Mekkis> heh
07:59 <kapow> dip 3 levels of rogue then go cavalier and get gang up on the animal companion and for yourself
08:04 <Mekkis> cover behind mount -> stealth -> charge lance sneak attack?
08:08 <kapow> then just pounce full round sneak attack
08:21 <kapow> something like that
08:31 <kapow> or do it on a Trex
08:33 <kapow> and just charge yeah
09:45 <Mekkis> hmmm
09:54 <kapow> I want to just bring a T-rex to the table and be able to say it's my mount
09:58 <Mekkis> how much does hemp rope cost?
10:14 <Blasticka> like 5 gold for 50 feet
10:28 <Blasticka> silk weighs less but costs 10 gold for 50 feet
10:35 <kapow> 1gp per 50ft
10:36 <kapow> actually
10:49 <kapow> Rope, hemp (50 ft.) 1 gp 10 lbs.
10:50 <Blasticka> oops. my bad
10:53 <Mekkis> and twine?
11:45 <Mekkis> 1cp
12:15 <Mekkis> so the roe of infinite twine can produce 10' of hemp rope each round, or 100' each minute
12:28 <Mekkis> 100' of rope sells for 1gp.
12:30 <kapow> 2gp a minute
12:44 <kapow> yeah okay 1gp a minute
12:58 <kapow> buys Robe of inifinite twine
13:01 <Mekkis> There are 840 minutes in a day
13:02 <kapow> pulls rope from it for the entire adventure
13:04 <kapow> sells the rope
13:21 <Mekkis> Brock ruled that "If a magic item creates an item, it's yours to keep"
13:36 <Mekkis> hmmm.....
14:49 <***> Buffer Playback...
14:49 <***> Playback Complete.
15:07 <kapow> now you just need to find a pfs scenarion that has no time limit and you're set
15:10 <kapow> infinite gold
15:12 <Blasticka> alright guys I'm going to take my break now. been very fun today
15:34 <Blasticka> what about that one with the 40 day trek over the mountains
15:57 <Blasticka> what was it called... avatar with the dwarf?
16:32 <Blasticka> the pearl one.
16:39 <Mekkis> Beggar's Pearl?
17:01 <kapow> say you leave 8 hours for sleep
17:08 <kapow> thats still 16 hours of rope pulling
17:15 <kapow> invest in a bag of holding to hold it all
18:02 <kapow> 960 gp for 16 hours :P
18:15 <kapow> where did the 840 minutes in a day come from mekkis?
18:29 <kapow> 1440 in a day
19:59 <Mekkis> hmmm
20:12 <Mekkis> you know what to do from here, right kapow?
20:59 <Mekkis> Untrained hirelings cost 1sp per day.
21:10 <kapow> XP
21:20 <kapow> I was about to say cohort but
21:25 <kapow> that works a little better i guess
21:52 <kapow> You know what i would let a pc do that in my game and then i would send the rope merchants after them and have 1 like a big mob boss
21:56 <kapow> mafia style over rope
21:59 <Mekkis> Mytiazair: Owner of the Universal Rope Factory, Almas. "Because 1sp per day beats slavery".
22:04 <kapow> come to lynch the new competition
23:03 <Mekkis> "Ropes for all occasions!" "Amaze your enemies! Tie them up! String them up too! Then watch them dance!"
24:54 <Mekkis> hmmm... p167 of the CRB sort of reminds me of Deceased
26:51 <kapow> so mekkis for tsar I am taking favoured enemy in this order
26:58 <kapow> undead, evil outsider, dragon
27:03 <kapow> +3,2,1
27:14 <kapow> can you think of a better choice?
27:21 <kapow> other than mudmen :/
27:58 <Mekkis> isn't it +6/+4/+2?
28:17 <Mekkis> I'd go evil outsider, dragon, undead
28:33 <Mekkis> undead don't normally have that many HP
28:35 <Mekkis> actually
28:44 <Mekkis> swap dragon and undead
28:54 <Mekkis> you can use &instant enemy on the dragon
28:56 <diebot> INSTANT ENEMY enchantment ([]) ranger 3 1 swift action Range: close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) one creature that is not your favored enemy. Comp: V, S Duration: 1 minute/level Save: none SR:no
28:57 <diebot> With this spell you designate the target as your favored enemy for the remainder of its duration. Select one of your favored enemy types. For the duration of the spell, you treat the target as if it were that type of favored enemy for all purposes.
29:28 <Mekkis> really, dragon's a bad choice at all
29:40 <Mekkis> you're not really going to come up against two of them
29:45 <kapow> I only can have 1 3rd level per day on my ranger
29:46 <kapow> but that is a good idea
29:57 <kapow> day we're going to fight the dragon just prep it
30:02 <kapow> instead of reduce animal
30:33 <kapow> I put undead 1st because of what I think is going to be in tsar once we finally get in there
30:47 <kapow> plus we have fought a giant undead t-rex before too
31:01 <kapow> lich's count as undead too right?
31:17 <Mekkis> I still don't believe that the interior of Tsar exists
31:55 <Mekkis> (and I think that the adventure layout is not particularly good0
31:59 <kapow> We went to hell last fortnight
32:07 <kapow> was fun ^_^
32:12 <kapow> got franks monk back
32:35 <Mekkis> I signed up for "Slumbering Tsar, doing a bunch of stuff in an underground city" not "Faffing around in the wilderness outside"
33:13 <Mekkis> it felt almost exactly like grinding for XP
33:50 <Mekkis> as in no plot advancement.
36:04 <kapow> to me it felt like an introduction to the world. less a little grinding for xp but it feels like it's giving us information a little anyway.
36:14 <kapow> about the back story of tsar so we know a little when we go in
36:25 <kapow> instead of just being like we know all the things about this place lets go in
37:10 <Mekkis> sure, but it gets old after six months
37:47 <kapow> a little but in saying that, it does have a fair bit to do with the other party members.
37:54 <kapow> everyone else is that terrified of the dragon
38:33 <Mekkis> "a little"
39:07 <Mekkis> it's still really grindy
40:28 <kapow> Owen is new and doesn't know too much but has cottoned on quickly and how is useful
40:37 <kapow> Lance is just useful but worries alot
40:55 <kapow> David knows what's up but is a cleric and clearly attached to his character
41:02 <Avatar> are owen and lance and david players or characters
41:05 <kapow> which makes him not want to loose it so a little scared
41:11 <Mekkis> lose*
41:12 <kapow> players
41:17 <kapow> lose
41:25 <kapow> los
41:31 <kapow> sole
41:36 <Mekkis> lse
41:43 <Mekkis> just keep removing os
41:45 <kapow> soel
41:58 <kapow> igloo
42:21 <Mekkis> the advantage of not playing PFS is to be able to have a more plot-focussed adventure
42:41 <kapow> yeah i am looking forward to running my campaign
42:42 <kapow> and i enjoy wotw
42:45 <kapow> it ha nice plot
43:18 <kapow> we are a bit slow sometimes for my liking but it's good we just don't play it often enough
43:30 <Mekkis> for WotW, yeah
44:22 <kapow> admittedly the entire time i was killing dwarves i was like, "Am I really doing this? Holy crap I did it and it may help."
44:42 <Mekkis> heh
44:47 <kapow> and the xp at the end was nice ^_^
44:55 <Mekkis> you know how it is: You DO need to take risks
45:02 <Mekkis> you just need to manage them
45:22 <kapow> well way i see it is if we don't do anything nothing happens in response and game freezes
45:30 <kapow> may as well do something see what happens and respond to that
45:36 <Mekkis> the game's not freezing
45:44 <Mekkis> I have a calendar
45:47 <kapow> not wotw specifically
45:48 <Mekkis> Stuff is happening
45:52 <kapow> games in general
46:06 <Mekkis> the bugbears are amassing to the north
47:02 <Mekkis> A raven has flown to Daveryn with news...
47:15 <Mekkis> ...
47:58 <Mekkis> There's a bunch of suspicion about with regards to the slaughter of the dwarves
55:54 <kapow> excellent the more saps to destroy :D
57:39 <kapow> I do kind of wish i had enough levels of ranger to get 4th level spells
59:22 <Mekkis> yeah
59:36 <Mekkis> why don't you /wish/ for it?
59:46 <kapow> :P
59:56 <kapow> We're going to witness the bad end of some wishes shortly
00:01 <kapow> hopefully this wednesday
00:19 <Mekkis> I get to play PFS this wednesday
01:02 <Mekkis> maybe I'll run MoFF on Thursday
01:51 <kapow> woot :D
01:52 <kapow> MoFF?
02:05 <Mekkis> Master of Fallen Fortress
02:20 <Mekkis> there are enough low-level players here to justify it
02:21 <kapow> do it i haven't played it yet
02:43 <kapow> I'll be playing the shadow lodge scenario next wednesday not this
02:49 <kapow> then running it the fortnight after
03:01 <kapow> I ran way of the kirin last week so i have to decide who is going to get that boon
03:36 <kapow> thinking it's going to go to peter in prep for bonekeep
03:43 <kapow> get the extra attribute
04:17 <Mekkis> you SHOULD have done that earlier
05:09 <kapow> why?
05:21 <Mekkis> because it's cheating.
05:46 <Mekkis> If you didn't elect who the credit went to when you filled out the reporting sheet, it didn't go to anyone.
05:49 <kapow> we didn't have sheets or anything there cause flood didn't print them because i didn't remind him i have no printer XP
06:00 <kapow> sheets haven't been filled out yet
06:05 <kapow> cause we didn't have them there
06:07 <Mekkis> (And you're free to rerun it for credit later)
06:16 <Mekkis> chronicle sheets were, right?
06:24 <kapow> no
06:26 <Mekkis> and a slip of paper was passed around with details
06:44 <kapow> we had none printed to give out cause daniel was meant to and we forgot
07:11 <Mekkis> the details of the characters was passed around was it not?
07:28 <kapow> to the best of my knowledge yes
07:33 <Mekkis> (that's known as a reporting sheet, even if it isn't all official-looking)
09:08 <kapow> thing is i may want to apply it to a new character when it reaches the appropriate level so it would remain away anyway
09:47 <Mekkis> thing is, you're required to assign credit immediately, not a week (or a month) after GMing it.
10:02 <kapow> *shrugs*
