12:57 <Mekkis> Brunius, how hard is it to get a 25?

25:31 <WillRufus> Hi, I'm interested in a PFS online group, as there aren't many in my area, I'm fairly new so a level 1 adventure would be preferable if there are any available.
35:58 <Yiroep> Most people here are in the Australian time zone, so it's sleepy time. :p
39:27 <WillRufus> Well shit, is there any vague cross in the times at all?
40:01 <Yiroep> What time zone are you? I am personally eastern US.
40:18 <WillRufus> GMT
40:47 <WillRufus> or UTC as its written on the site I just checkes.
42:31 <Yiroep> They do run games...they usually fall at like 4 am for me, so that would be like 9 am for you. If you got here from the website, they schedule games there. I usually check everyone once in a while to see if they post something... usually it's on Friday or Saturday.
43:01 <Yiroep> I haven't had a chance to play with them, though. 4 am is rough for me, but I like the chat. :p
43:09 <WillRufus> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/, this website?
43:14 <Yiroep> Yes.
43:36 <Yiroep> If you click on schedule you'll see there's nothing scheduled yet. Usually won't come until later in the week.
43:43 <WillRufus> Well, I'll register for that and I should be alright depending on the day :P
43:45 <Yiroep> Sometimes they'll run during the week, too.
43:49 <Yiroep> :)
46:00 <WillRufus> Well, thanks Yiroep, I hope they don't mind me being new
47:05 <Yiroep> No problem. :) Hopefully you can speak with one of the people that's actually played or ran something here.
47:24 <Yiroep> If you have questions about PFS itself, however, I can answer those.
50:02 <WillRufus> I had an intro session and I think I'm alright as far as thats concerned, thanks anyway though :)
51:19 <Yiroep> Oh, what intro? First Steps? The Confirmation?
51:29 <Yiroep> Something else?
51:41 <WillRufus> The Confirmation, I really enjoyed it.
51:53 <Yiroep> Yeah, that's a great scenario, and a great first scenario, too.
52:00 <Yiroep> It just came out a month or so ago.
52:14 <WillRufus> Its well written, have you played it yet?
52:22 <Yiroep> I have both played and GMed it. :p
52:30 <Yiroep> Although some others in here might not have.
54:36 <WillRufus> yeah, I ran an inquisitor and ended up as the groups tank, it was fairly unpleasant until I found I could reskill completely up to level 2 :D
54:54 <Yiroep> Yes, you can. ;)
54:58 <Yiroep> Where did you play PFS?
55:37 <Yiroep> I mean, what is a convention or someone's house...?
55:42 <Yiroep> was*
55:51 <Yiroep> was it*, lmao
56:23 <WillRufus> It was local gaming shop, but theyve knocked off for christmas, so wont be playing again until early January.
56:31 <Yiroep> Ah.
56:54 <Yiroep> Yeah, I can understand the need to play more...definitely.
58:07 <WillRufus> I made one character on the day and now I have 5...I regret nothing.
58:47 <Yiroep> Haha.
59:14 <Yiroep> I'm somewhat infamous around my local area for playing tons of oracles....
59:15 Verloren has quit (EOF from client)
59:20 <Yiroep> I mean...half of my characters are oracles, lol.
59:26 Verloren ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
59:51 <WillRufus> I never saw the attraction in Oracles.
00:23 <WillRufus> I have Inquisitor, Stonelord, Cavalier/Sorceror, Experimental Gunsmith, Barbarian
01:51 <Yiroep> Oracles are basically a specialized version of a cleric. They don't have the versatility, but they can take one aspect of it and be very good at it. Oracles are much more defined by their mystery than a Sorcerer is by their bloodline.
02:39 <Yiroep> That's how I look at it, anyway.
03:25 <WillRufus> Seems reasonable, anyway Im off for a shower, thanks for your help
03:35 <Yiroep> Yup, cya man.

43:27 <Verloren> >cavalier-sorceror
43:33 <Verloren> what's that like?
46:50 <Yiroep> I'm thinking about making a Cavalier/Investigator/Bard/Oracle, lol.
46:59 <Yiroep> Not sure if I want to include oracle still or not, or just take more cavalier....
50:08 <Verloren> wat
50:20 <Yiroep> Lmao.
50:40 WillRufus has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
52:25 <Yiroep> 3 Cavalier (Honor Guard) for the bodyguard feat and +1 for aid another when aiding AC, 3 Investigator for aid another as move action or swift action with inspiration, 1 Bard for Inspire Courage and take Banner of the Ancient Kings to double that bonus (along with the bonuses of flagbearer), and then Oracle or Cavalier or Hunter or Druid or something with a pet so that I can stack it with Cavalier.
52:29 <Yiroep> Martial support build. :)
57:01 <Yiroep> Oh yes, Boon Companion to make the pet equal to my level (since I will only take 4 levels of "non-pet") and be a helpful halfling with benevolent weapons and armor. :)
59:14 <Avatar> I don't like the bodyguard feat, doesn't seem worth it
59:42 <Avatar> allies should be moving to a flank instead of being adjacent
00:00 <Verloren> including the spellcaster?
00:00 <Verloren> :V
00:13 <Yiroep> Depends.
00:17 <Avatar> the spellcaster isn't getting help from +2 AC
00:32 <Yiroep> With how many bonuses I give to aid another, people will want to stay next to me instead of flanking. :p
00:57 <Avatar> how much does it end up being
01:16 <Yiroep> +4 initially, then rises as I get a benevolent weapon.
01:25 <Yiroep> +5 to AC initially, until I get benevolent armor.
01:48 <Avatar> I must be missing something
01:50 <Yiroep> And I plan on my pet to aid as well.
02:05 <Avatar> +1 from a trait, +1 from some investigator trick
02:12 <Yiroep> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/traits/race-traits/helpful
02:14 <Yiroep> +2 from a trait.
02:55 <Yiroep> And at level 3 cavalier I get +1 when aiding AC.
02:58 <Avatar> inspire courage doesn't boost AC
03:05 <Yiroep> Nope.
03:13 <Yiroep> Level 3 honor guard cavalier archetype.
03:25 <Yiroep> I wasn't taking into account inspire courage or flagbearer with my aids.
03:57 <Avatar> okay that is pretty good
04:03 <Yiroep> Mmhmm.
04:22 <Yiroep> And aid another stacks, so my pet can do it, too.
04:41 <Yiroep> (I would never ride him, lol)
05:28 <Yiroep> The only problem is...I have a feeling...
05:34 <Yiroep> "What bonuses are you giving me again?"
05:42 <Yiroep> I'd have to keep track of all of it, lol.
06:11 <Avatar> put it on a piece of folded paper in front of you
06:23 <Avatar> or you can make an alias on IRC
06:32 <Yiroep> Hehe.
06:53 <Yiroep> The real shenanigens happens when I aid someone's first attack as a move action, then ready an action to aid their second attack. :p
07:49 <Yiroep> That wouldn't be til level 6, though.
09:37 <Yiroep> He also would be garbage at actually dealing damage. I wouldn't play him unless there's another martial damage dealer in the party.
09:57 <Yiroep> I guess his pet could do O.K. if he aids it...
16:39 <Avatar> anyone know what time it was when willrufus joined
16:44 <Avatar> in his timezone
17:38 <Yiroep> He's 5 hours ahead of me, so....
17:50 <Yiroep> 6:20 PM for him.
20:19 <Avatar> cheers

57:12 <Mekkis> !spell sending
57:14 <diebot> Mekkis, SENDING evocation ([]) cleric 4, sorcerer/wizard 5, alchemist 5, summoner 4, inquisitor 4 10 minutes Range: see text one creature Comp: V, S, M/DF (fine copper wire) Duration: 1 round; see text Save: none SR:noSource: PFRPG Core
57:14 <diebot> You contact a particular creature with which you are familiar and send a short message of 25 words or less to the subject. The subject recognizes you if it knows you. It can answer in like manner immediately. A creature with an Intelligence score as low as 1 can understand the sending, though the subject's ability to react is limited as normal by
57:14 <diebot> its Intelligence. Even if the sending is received, the subject is not obligated to act upon it in any manner. If the creature in question is not on the same plane of existence as you are, there is a 5% chance that the sending does not arrive. (Local conditions on other planes may worsen this chance considerably.)
01:06 <s_gmusic> lol that last line. it's like a satellite tv's disclaimer.
03:43 <Mekkis> heh
05:13 <Mekkis> I did end up writing up the encounter I had planned for CWheezy. Maybe I should put it on RPG superstar
07:49 <Avatar> have you got an item
24:34 <Mekkis> nope. Pretty sure that 'an encounter for one 20th level character who has been cheesing the rules and believes they're unkillable' is not called for.
42:39 <diebot> Steven, Character: James, number: 413867( http://www.pfrpg.com.au/viewchar.php5?char=413867 )
42:40 <Steven> !fchar james
43:37 <Avatar> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/viewchar.php5?char=413
44:21 <Steven> yeah why not get weapon focus?
44:47 <Steven> or dodge
44:55 <Avatar> I don't really need weapon focus
45:04 <Avatar> dodge is a bit redundant I think
45:29 <Avatar> if I was going to get more stuff to add to AC, very maybe, but I'm not doing that
45:32 <Steven> well, with dodge you go to mobility and then spring attack
45:44 <Avatar> I don't want to spring attack, I want to full attack
45:58 <Steven> and then you swift action luck, spring attack-butterfly sting
46:11 <Avatar> ooo
46:16 <Avatar> that's not a bad idea actually
46:28 <Avatar> but I still want to full attack
46:45 <Steven> hmmm.
46:52 <Avatar> moving between swift actions for luck and arcane strike is a pain in the ass
47:18 <Avatar> it's like the different attacks on my gunslinger I have set out, except it happens every fucking round
48:07 <Brunius> Paladins have like six class abilities tied to swift actions
48:13 <Steven> too bad you already retrained... i have a funny build for ya.
48:15 <Brunius> It's also a pain in the ass
48:20 <Avatar> they only need one - lay on hands
48:26 <Brunius> Smite?
48:39 <Avatar> if I build a paladin, it'll have 3rd level feat: extra lay on hands
48:44 <Avatar> 5th level feat: extra lay on hands
48:47 <Avatar> 7th, 9th, 11th, etc
49:04 <Avatar> swift action no provoke self healing? cmon
49:06 <Steven> HA if anyone has the right to bitch about swift action limitations its inquisitors.
49:28 <Avatar> it's archaeologist bards man
49:36 <Avatar> it takes 3 or 4 rounds to "charge up"
49:55 <Avatar> first round, archaeologist luck, hit
50:04 <Avatar> second round, haste, hit
50:09 <Avatar> third round good hope, hit
50:14 <Avatar> fourth round, arcane strike, hit
50:29 <Avatar> that's not quite right, fourth round is a.luck again because it only lasts that long
50:54 <Avatar> before the arcane strikes can come out
50:59 <Steven> yeah thats nice.
51:21 <Avatar> boots of speed are nice actually, that's a free action haste
51:31 <Avatar> which I sorely needed with only 2 3rd level slots
51:35 <Avatar> and good hope being one of them
51:42 <Avatar> that spell is a lifesaver
51:58 <Avatar> I don't know how heroism is any good in comparison
52:02 <Avatar> !spell heroism
52:02 <diebot> Avatar, HEROISM enchantment (compulsion[mind-affecting]) bard 2, sorcerer/wizard 3, alchemist 3, summoner 3, witch 3, inquisitor 3 1 standard action Range: touch creature touched Comp: V, S Duration: 10 min./level Save: Will negates (harmless) SR:yes (harmless)Source: PFRPG Core
52:02 <diebot> This spell imbues a single creature with great bravery and morale in battle. The target gains a +2 morale bonus on attack rolls, saves, and skill checks.
52:13 <Steven> heroism lasts significantly longer
52:14 <Avatar> a single creature, fuck off
52:23 <Avatar> pathfinder is a team game
52:57 <Steven> its something you throw up at the beginning of a dungeon so that you dont have to burn a standard action to get yourself 'charge up"
53:53 <Avatar> it's worth burning a turn for the whole party to benefit
55:00 <Steven> i think that is dependent on how many damage dealers you have, if its just you and 3 other back line casters +2 to saves isnt worth a standard action
56:14 <Steven> Good hope is great if you've an extra turn to burn, like you got in on a surprise round
56:44 <Avatar> yeah it's never just one meleer
56:58 <Steven> now you're doomed to be the only meleer next game.
01:20 <Avatar> I found out yesterday that adamantine weapons dont' cover cold iron and silver DR
01:33 <Avatar> I was under the impression adamantine cancelled them out
01:48 <Avatar> otherwise I might not have bought a scimitar made of adamantine
05:49 <Steven> +1 magic +2 Silver +3 cold Iron +4 Adamantine +5 Alignment
06:03 <Steven> otherwise material only bypasses specific DR
06:16 <Brunius> Where is that Steven
06:23 <Brunius> People keep telling me that isn't a thing
06:32 <Steven> what isnt a thing?
08:25 <Avatar> what is +1 magic +2 silver etc
08:39 <Steven> weapon enhancement bonus'
08:43 <Avatar> the number bonus bypasses the material?
09:08 <Avatar> that wasn't how I understood it
09:21 <Steven> yeah and they are cumulative, so a +5 weapon will bypass magic, silver cold iron, adamantine and alignment based DR
09:24 <Avatar> I knew +3 overcomes silver and cold iron, didn't know about +2
09:36 <Avatar> +5 overcoming alignment rings a bell
09:53 <Brunius> yeah that's it
09:53 <Avatar> where's this in the CRB
09:58 <Brunius> where is that steven
10:46 <Steven> oh hell if i know, let me go read a bit see if i can find it/
12:30 <Steven> im going to guess its under DR or magic weapons
12:48 WillRufus ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
14:51 <Steven> oh i was wrong, +2 doesnt overcome anything, but avatar was, +3 is coldiron/silver
15:49 <Steven> so +1 Magic, +3 Coldiron/Silver +4 Adamantine, +5 Alignment.
16:03 <Steven> page 562 of the core
17:01 <Steven> and i heard somewhere that +6 overcomes Epic, but i dont know where that ruling might be
18:45 <Steven> im going to guess a bestiary 
19:01 <Steven> since thats where dr/epic was first mentioned
19:02 <Mekkis> +6 effective overcomes epic
19:06 <Mekkis> as per FAQ
19:19 <Mekkis> a +5 flaming weapon overcomes epic
21:24 <Steven> thats with the +equivalent rule in mythic right?
22:05 <Steven> i wonder if thats actually legal in pfs since the book was excluded from PFS completely
23:32 <Steven> god.... that thread of new round of race openings is up to 439 posts
24:07 <Steven> imma go catch up on the last 70 posts

06:30 <Yiroep> "What bonuses are you giving me again?"
06:38 <Yiroep> I'd have to keep track of all of it, lol.
07:07 <Avatar> put it on a piece of folded paper in front of you
07:19 <Avatar> or you can make an alias on IRC
07:28 <Yiroep> Hehe.
07:49 <Yiroep> The real shenanigens happens when I aid someone's first attack as a move action, then ready an action to aid their second attack. :p
08:45 <Yiroep> That wouldn't be til level 6, though.
10:33 <Yiroep> He also would be garbage at actually dealing damage. I wouldn't play him unless there's another martial damage dealer in the party.
10:53 <Yiroep> I guess his pet could do O.K. if he aids it...
12:01 <Mekkis> Brunius, how hard is it to get a 25?
12:14 <Mekkis> and doesn't ATAR change from year-to-year?
17:35 <Avatar> anyone know what time it was when willrufus joined
17:40 <Avatar> in his timezone
18:34 <Yiroep> He's 5 hours ahead of me, so....
18:46 <Yiroep> 6:20 PM for him.
21:15 <Avatar> cheers

54:12 <Avatar> Damalon01: what does it take to get 5 stars from you
54:19 <Avatar> I was looking over your reviews
54:29 <Avatar> that's how bored I get at work
58:07 <Mekkis> !spell sending
58:09 <diebot> Mekkis, SENDING evocation ([]) cleric 4, sorcerer/wizard 5, alchemist 5, summoner 4, inquisitor 4 10 minutes Range: see text one creature Comp: V, S, M/DF (fine copper wire) Duration: 1 round; see text Save: none SR:noSource: PFRPG Core
58:10 <diebot> You contact a particular creature with which you are familiar and send a short message of 25 words or less to the subject. The subject recognizes you if it knows you. It can answer in like manner immediately. A creature with an Intelligence score as low as 1 can understand the sending, though the subject's ability to react is limited as normal by
58:10 <diebot> its Intelligence. Even if the sending is received, the subject is not obligated to act upon it in any manner. If the creature in question is not on the same plane of existence as you are, there is a 5% chance that the sending does not arrive. (Local conditions on other planes may worsen this chance considerably.)
58:46 <Damalon01> hehehe
58:54 <Damalon01> i have pretty high standards
59:06 <Damalon01> and i tend to look for 3 things in a game
59:24 <Damalon01> combat encounters, role playing encounters and Planning/plotting
59:46 <Mekkis> I know what it takes to get one star from Avatar
00:44 <Damalon01> if a scenario has all three of those in good supply and I dont see anything that drives me nutts with rage I tend to give 4 stars. Id give 5 if there was no power gaming etc.
01:07 <Damalon01> and no obvious problems etc
01:25 <Damalon01> to me 5 stars is perfect
01:39 <Damalon01> thats why i havent given it yet
02:01 <s_gmusic> lol that last line. it's like a satellite tv's disclaimer.
02:11 <Damalon01> Way of the Ki Rin was close.
02:23 <Avatar> mekkis you are adept at knowing what it takes to get one star from me
02:31 <Damalon01> hehehe
02:44 <Damalon01> ooo burn
03:04 <Mekkis> yeah
03:23 <Mekkis> For a start, it needs to cause his character to die
04:39 <Mekkis> heh
04:57 <Damalon01> Hey Mekkis I gave a 1 star review to Race for the Runecarved Key and no one died in that one.
05:08 <Mekkis> you're not Avatar
05:15 <Damalon01> no i am not
05:37 <Mekkis> I don't review a scenario until I've played it, and run it at least twice
06:01 <Damalon01> well im not a PFS GM so I cant do that
06:08 <Mekkis> I did end up writing up the encounter I had planned for CWheezy. Maybe I should put it on RPG superstar
06:27 <Mekkis> otherwise your views are coloured a lot by how the GM ran it
06:55 <Damalon01> i know Mekkis. I know.
07:13 <Avatar> I was going to wait until I had played and GM'd a game before reviewing it, but then I realised you could edit reviews
07:27 <Mekkis> I mean, I liked Race for Runecarved Key, despite what the GM did
07:55 <Avatar> did you have a dodgy GM for runecarved Damalon01
08:19 <Mekkis> did you play runecarved online?
08:30 <Avatar> no he was there on the day with us
08:43 <Avatar> you guys argued about the diabolist that day
08:45 <Avatar> have you got an item
10:28 <Damalon01> Andrei ran Runecarved for me ar i think it was Unicon
11:16 Steven ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
11:30 <Steven> hey
11:37 <Avatar> steve
12:14 <Steven> it is what i am known as
12:17 <Mekkis> Damalon01, did you play at tier 5-6?
13:14 <Damalon01> nah 1-2 i think
13:31 <Damalon01> i was a lvl 2 gunslinger
15:22 <Damalon01> Andrei's GMing was actually quite good. It was the cheese.
15:54 <Damalon01> anyways i gotta go, a friend is here and i have to go into entertainer/host mode. cya

20:00 <Steven> avatar, what do you want? you said my name, you cant leave me hangin man!
20:14 <Mekkis> Sure. Here's a noose :)
21:18 <Avatar> you said hey
25:30 <Mekkis> nope. Pretty sure that 'an encounter for one 20th level character who has been cheesing the rules and believes they're unkillable' is not called for.

37:26 <AngryIndianBoi> brutus
43:25 <Avatar> who's brutus
44:26 <AngryIndianBoi> its an old warez program to hack someones open ports
46:18 <Avatar> ok
46:24 <Avatar> so where were you going with that
46:53 <AngryIndianBoi> ummm   thats my business
47:16 <AngryIndianBoi> i sell brutus
49:52 <Mekkis> why would anyone buy it?
51:14 <AngryIndianBoi> That is the $11.99 question
51:24 <AngryIndianBoi> so far ive only sold 1 copy
53:46 <Mekkis> seems like a poor business plan. Can I buy stocks?
54:28 <AngryIndianBoi> get back to me in 2 years  then maybe
58:18 <Mekkis> does it work?
58:51 <AngryIndianBoi> stop interrogating me
58:53 <Mekkis> I have port 80 open on 198.81.129.107
59:04 <AngryIndianBoi> im no hacker
59:13 <AngryIndianBoi> buy it and try it
00:56 <AngryIndianBoi> google it
01:34 <AngryIndianBoi> ill sell u the full licensed version for 12 bucks,  send me the money by direct debit
01:49 <Mekkis> prove that it works first
01:51 <AngryIndianBoi> comm bank:  bsb: 065128
01:59 <AngryIndianBoi> account:  10167229
02:14 <AngryIndianBoi> ill give u a money back guarantee
02:31 <Mekkis> don't care.
02:41 <Spaceshot_XperiaZ> So, can someone answer me why Matt goodall of all people is talking about giving characters roleplay life?
03:08 <Mekkis> because he thinks roleplaying is important?
04:52 <Mekkis> I don't understand what you mean by 'of all people'. He WROTE a chunk of of golarion lore
08:17 <Spaceshot_XperiaZ> No I mean the guy who makes comepletly minimaxed characters thing
08:36 <AngryIndianBoi> a bigger chunk than Al Gore
09:20 <Mekkis> yeah, but he roleplays them
09:28 <Mekkis> well
10:35 <Mekkis> roleplaying and minmaxing aren't mutually exclusive
12:12 AngryIndianBoi has quit (Quit: )
22:19 deeldose ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
30:14 <Steven> yeah my character Ahtuz is minmaxed to the extreme
30:28 <Steven> but hes fun to play and has great table interaction
46:32 Alynn has quit (Quit: Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm)
23:18 <Brunius> Mekkis: a 25 is meant to be a perfect average
23:26 <Brunius> ATAR is hypothetically scaled per year
25:27 <Mekkis> the entrance requirement also depends on who's applying, right?
25:43 <Brunius> Typically, yes
26:15 <Brunius> I'm not expecting to score a perfect average, though
26:20 <Mekkis> I unlocked my AMX 12t
26:24 <Brunius> since my two sciences are next year
36:36 * Steven Nods his head like he understands what they just said.
40:23 <Mekkis> I shot a T34 25 times last battle
40:40 <Mekkis> sorry, 22 times
41:10 <Mekkis> eventually I got him with his rear track exposed, with his turret behind a rock
41:26 <Mekkis> then it's just "every third round must be HE"
12:41 <Brunius> Steven: As long as I score about 50% on my end of year report card, my GPA will be good enough to get into the college I want
12:59 <Brunius> In theory
13:19 <Brunius> I think GPA is the equivalent
25:51 <Mekkis> Brunius, tanks?
31:31 Alynn ([email protected]) has joined #d&d

36:49 <Steven> hope you're dinner is good
49:52 <Mekkis> Brunius?
50:33 <Steven> damned headache is so annoying!
55:19 <Steven> what to watch....
55:40 <Steven> !rand comedy action scifi drama
55:41 <dicebot> Steven, random: drama
55:46 <Steven> drama it is!
59:44 <Brunius> Huh
00:03 <Brunius> If I score exactly a 25 for everything I'm doing next year, I'll have exactly the ATAR I need to get into university

02:27 <Brunius> Mekkis
03:43 <Shadow_hunter> Good evening I hope I am not interrupting anything, I just had a quick question: I am wondering if you allow psionic type characters with the changes that dreamscarred press released?   
06:57 <Mekkis> I will on a case-by-case basis, in my campaign
07:09 <Mekkis> after I read the rules
07:16 <Mekkis> Brunius, tanks?
07:36 <Brunius> Can probably do a couple of rounds
07:46 <Mekkis> cool
07:48 <Mekkis> send the invite
07:53 <Shadow_hunter> ok more or less I hope to make a character with a class name of soulknife
08:18 <Mekkis> you're not in my campaign yet, are you?
08:58 <Shadow_hunter> no I wanted to ask first if people (or just this site) allows psionic type classes
09:40 <Shadow_hunter> I am currently in the process of making an account and the paper work 
10:39 <Mekkis> PFS doesn't allow it
10:44 <Mekkis> if that;s your question
12:09 <Shadow_hunter> PFS is pathfinder society correct?  what is the difference from pathfinder irl to PFS?
14:28 <Shadow_hunter> ah ok forget I asked
15:04 <Shadow_hunter> thank you for the answers
15:08 Shadow_hunter has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
15:54 <Avatar> thank you for the answers NOW I MUST QUICKLY MAKE HASTE
58:04 <s_gmusic> yay
58:36 <s_gmusic> just finished my NewGame+ playthrough of Mass Effect 1. it's now 5am. install and start on Mass Effect 2 or go to sleep? >.>
58:44 <Mekkis> sleep
59:11 <Mekkis> make a 20th level character
01:02 <s_gmusic> bwuh?
01:29 <s_gmusic> o blarg. forgot to fix some of my pathfinder characters. guess I can do that while ME2 installs.
02:12 <Brunius> s_gmusic, go to sleep
04:41 <s_gmusic> why?
05:30 <s_gmusic> also, any tips for playing through ME2? 
07:21 <Mekkis> I have this encounter for a 20th level character I want to run
07:21 <s_gmusic> it's not like I have to go over too much on my characters. need to update my slayer and make sure I finished leveling my dwarven fighter/monk.
09:06 <s_gmusic> ah
33:06 <Acentes> ?
33:39 <Steven> made for a wizard or a fighter mekkis?
45:24 <Mekkis> any class
45:42 <Mekkis> It should be survivable for a party of 4
46:05 <Mekkis> whether it's survivable by a single character, I'm not sure

04:59 <Steven> i hate multiple day migraines
05:25 <Steven> i thought it was wednesday for the last few hours
52:54 <s_gmusic> I want a character with an adamantine weapon, but not sure what would be good to roll up and justify the 3000gp expense. :\
56:05 <Steven> usually theres no bad adamantine weapon.  It bypasses hardness of objects. which is nice
58:36 <s_gmusic> yeah, but what I'm looking at is the 3000gp it costs to make it from adamantine can be used to start enchanting it.
00:40 <Steven> well, thats why its called a decision
01:03 <s_gmusic> yup.
01:33 <s_gmusic> mostly I've never thought of Adamantine stuff before, so unsure about the value of using it.
02:39 <s_gmusic> either way, a +4 normal weapon is 32000gp + weapon/masterwork cost. +4 adamantine is 35000gp + base weapon cost. both require 45 Prestige to get
02:57 <Damalon01> Hi guys
03:14 <Damalon01> hows you all going?
03:30 <s_gmusic> hell, to get adamantine alone, I'd need 15 prestige because of the fame/gp caps, unless I play/dm a cert that has what I want on it.
03:48 <s_gmusic> not 15pp, it's 18pp. misread my printout. :\
11:34 <Avatar> 18pp isn't that far off
11:50 <Avatar> well
11:52 <Avatar> 9-12 scenarios
11:54 <Avatar> I guess it is
12:42 <s_gmusic> that's about level 3 or 4. doesn't seem that bad, but when you figure in how derpish groups can be regarding secondary success conditions...? Yeah. :|
17:43 <Damalon01> I played 'The Confirmation' today, wasnt bad.
18:14 <Damalon01> Id rate it 3-4 stars but the real fun of the game was the fun group I was playing with.
18:30 <Damalon01> real tongue in cheek sense of humour.
23:17 <Avatar> what do you mean how derpish groups can be
23:29 <Avatar> only takes one person to do it
23:42 <Avatar> do you mean how derpish you can be 
24:40 <Steven> also only takes on person to ruin it
24:57 <s_gmusic> a bit of both. most of the people that play like to joke around and not really pay attention. add in that I have to deal with customers at the shop I work at, things get missed. :(
33:14 <Steven> the group i was playing with couldnt figure out a riddle from a sphinx the other day
35:03 <Avatar> considered picking up iron guts or very maybe terrain mastery for a rogue talent
35:34 <Avatar> iron guts is decent, +1 to saves vs ingested poisons and +4 to fort saves vs nauseated/sickening spells and effects
35:44 <Avatar> my fort save isn't great
35:57 <Avatar> I don't think wall climber will work out, climbing isn't that common
36:57 <Avatar> is vital strike any good
37:19 <Avatar> with a d6 weapon
38:00 <Steven> meh
38:05 <Steven> do you have quick draw?
38:12 <Avatar> no but what good is quick draw
38:33 <Steven> somebody disarms you, you fall unconscious, other unforseen things
38:50 <Avatar> eh?
38:50 <Steven> you spend a free action to draw a weapon and make full attacks rather than a move to pick up your weapon and provoke aoo
39:24 <Avatar> I've always ruled that when you fall unconscious and stand up again, you pick your weapon up on the way
39:31 <Avatar> and doesn't provoke
39:59 <Avatar> might be good if it's a pre-req for something else
40:16 <Steven> you may have ruled that way but that is not the way it actually works.
40:37 <Avatar> do the rules say differently
40:37 <Steven> when you go unconcious you drop anything held in your hand.  there is a feat that does what you're giving away
40:47 <Avatar> what feat is it
42:50 <Steven> it was int he primer, i dont remember the name
45:57 <Avatar> PFS primer?
46:13 <Steven> think so.
49:38 <s_gmusic> I'm not seeing it. was it the brand new primer, the old field guide, or seekers of secrets instead?
53:17 <Steven> ah its cut your losses, when you take a withdraw action.
56:26 andrey has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
58:42 <Steven> anyways, quickdraw pretty great feat
