19:14 <Bloodlust> thought it was tomorrow - scrotum!
19:36 <Bloodlust> I'm so used to all the bloody games I play being with US people and playing the day after the date
20:03 <Bloodlust> I'm about to play Eyes of the Ten - nervous as hell
20:15 <Avatar> online?

22:11 <Bloodlust> what do you have?
22:17 <Avatar> gunslinger
22:25 <Bloodlust> It starts at 12 my time and goes for about 10 hours though, so no punking out

26:10 <Avatar> got something to get out of grapples?
26:23 <Bloodlust> only escape artist
26:30 <Bloodlust> +14
27:14 <Avatar> I'm not sure what the CMD is on a high level grapple
27:48 <Avatar> swarmbane clasp, golembane clasp are usually important, but probably not so much for a witch
29:00 <Bloodlust> yeah, I don't plan to hit shit
30:15 <Avatar> got a belt of con?
30:21 <Bloodlust> yup, only +2
30:28 <Bloodlust> might upgrade it
30:39 <Bloodlust> I've got 110 HP before buffs though

32:33 <diebot> Typically made of leather dyed blue and decorated with star-shaped studs, these bracers are used by spellcasters who practice their art in the heat of combat. The bracers grant the wearer a +2 bonus on concentration checks made to cast defensively. Three times per day, the wearer can choose to roll a concentration check to cast defensively twice
32:33 <diebot> and take the better result. Source: Ultimate Equipment
32:57 <Bloodlust> that's a good grab :)

36:10 <diebot> Avatar, MASK OF THE MANTIS [faint divination] CL:3 head 6000gp, 1lb
36:10 <diebot> A mask of the mantis is the traditional headgear of the Red Mantis assassin. Designed both to mask the wearer's identity while on a job and to enhance the wearer's ferocious appearance, a mask of the mantis has 3 daily charges that can be used to gain additional bonuses. The wearer can spend a charge to gain darkvision to a range of 60 feet, the
36:10 <diebot> effects of see invisibility, the effects of deathwatch, or a +5 competence bonus on Perception checks. Once a charge is spent, the effect granted persists for 30 minutes before fading. Multiple effects can be active simultaneously. Charges replenish automatically in 24 hours. Source: Inner Sea World Guide
37:42 <Bloodlust> I don't see much use for it
38:54 <Avatar> !item jaunt boots
38:54 <diebot> Avatar, JAUNT BOOTS [faint transmutation] CL:3 feet 7200gp, 2lb
38:55 <diebot> These stylish black leather boots are stitched with images of winding roads and trails through peaceful orchards. They can be worn up to mid-thigh, or have their cuffs turned down to make knee-high boots. Three times per day, on command for 1 round when the wearer makes a 5-foot step, he can move up to 15 feet. This movement does not provoke
38:55 <diebot> attacks of opportunity. Source: Ultimate Equipment
39:31 <Bloodlust> hmm, not really
42:53 <Avatar> maybe a decoy ring
43:05 <Avatar> but it's widely open to table variation

44:51 <Bloodlust> !item Shoes of Lightning Leaping
44:51 <diebot> Bloodlust, SHOES OF LIGHTNING LEAPING [moderate transmutation] CL:6 feet 10500gp, 1lb
44:52 <diebot> These short black shoes fit tightly around the wearer's feet and bear designs of leaping arcs of lightning and wild winds. Once per day on command, a creature wearing these boots can transform into lightning and move up to 50 feet in a straight line, re-materializing at the far end of the lightning bolt. Creatures in the path of the lightning take
44:52 <diebot> 6d6 points of electricity damage and objects take damage as per the lightning bolt spell. If the lightning strikes an object or barrier and fails to burst through it, the creature wearing the boots appears next to the impacted object and is staggered for 1 round. Movement while in lightning form does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Source:

45:05 <Avatar> yeah that's a get out of grapples item

50:09 <Mekkis> grappler's cmb is likely huge
52:31 <Bloodlust> yeah I know, very unlikely to get out of it via that way
52:58 <Avatar> it's usually those shoes, cape of the mountebank, or field runner's shirt to get out of it
53:06 <Avatar> depending on which slot you don't think you'll use for anything else
53:08 <Avatar> and your budget
53:55 <Bloodlust> !item field runner's shirt
53:55 <diebot> Bloodlust, QUICK RUNNER'S SHIRT [faint transmutation] CL:5 chest 1000gp, 0lb

54:35 <diebot> If the target is bound, grappled, or otherwise restrained, he may make an Escape Artist check to escape as an immediate action. He gains a competence bonus on this check equal to twice your caster level (maximum +20). This spell has no effect if the target could not get free by using the Escape Artist skill (for example, if he were under the
54:35 <diebot> effects of a hold person spell or paralyzed by Strength damage).
55:01 <Bloodlust> not so good for a wand lol

Once per day, when the wearer of the boots is grappled, pinned, or entangled, she may transfer herself to any spot within 30 feet as if using a dimension door spell. A gnome wearing these boots may instead transfer herself up to 400 feet away. Source:
58:26 <diebot> Ultimate Equipment
58:43 <Mekkis> staves are awesome for prepared casters
58:54 <Bloodlust> cheaper than lightning boots
59:44 <Bloodlust> but the lightning boots will get you past something if you're not grappled

04:25 <diebot> This twisted and gnarled black oak staff draws upon the formless magic of the Shadow Plane to allow use of the following spells: • major image (1 charge) • shadow conjuration (2 charges) • shadow evocation (3 charges) In addition, the staff can further influence shadow conjuration and shadow evocation spells, whether cast from the staff or
04:25 <diebot> the wielder's daily allotment of spells, without increasing the spell's level. By expending extra charges, the wielder can increase the shadowy substance used to form such spells by +10% per charge, up to a maximum of +50%. Using the staff for this purpose does not increase the casting time of these spells. Source: Fellnight Queen

58:26 <Brunius_> A goblin boon!
01:16 <Steven> bitch please...

01:38 <Steven> its a pick your bonus, you choose between 7 different bonus
01:53 <Brunius_> yeah and what if NONE of them are good bonuses!
02:03 <Steven> then you're retarded.
02:48 <Wrothmonk> Bonuses are bonuses Brunius.
04:14 <Brunius_> Yeah sure let's roll with that
07:08 <Steven> cool, i just need to find a scanner now... mines broken.
08:15 <Steven> Or i could mail it to you but that costs me monies....
08:30 <Wrothmonk> A scanner would cost you money as well I'd imagine.
08:49 <Steven> nah just gotta find one of my friends who have one.
21:07 Alynn ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
48:54 <Mekkis> What? you can send people boons by scanning them in?
48:55 <Mekkis> cool
49:13 <Mekkis> Anyone want some boons? I can scan them in and send them to you
50:27 <Avatar> is that legal
50:45 <Mekkis> a VL's doing it
56:37 <Wrothmonk> I wouldn't mind a few :)
01:30 <Mekkis_x200> better wait until I can get confirmation that Steven is actually doing it. We're waiting on Brunius_ for this
03:57 <Wrothmonk> Hrm yeah. I can wait though, probably wont be using them any time soon what with the adventure path.
16:15 <Brunius_> Are we
18:34 <Avatar> WHAT KIND OF BOONS ARE WE TALKING ABOUT
18:37 <Avatar> oops, caps
18:47 <Avatar> although I guess it's an important question !
20:02 <Steven> im sending it via mail
24:32 <Mekkis_x200> Probably the Trained Eye boon
24:41 <Mekkis_x200> for some reason, I have about half a dozen of them
33:37 <Mekkis_x200> I was thinking
33:49 <Wrothmonk> Thats dangerous. 
34:05 <Mekkis_x200> How about I allow PFS boons in WotW - as long as you mail me the boon. You could do the same for SS, Brunius_ :P
35:29 <Avatar> how about we all realise what century we're living in
36:12 <Mekkis_x200> Sounds good. I'll email you a $50 note, and you can use it to buy me lunch at Arcanacon
36:24 <Avatar> you mean netbank
36:29 <Mekkis_x200> nope. Email
36:33 <Mekkis_x200> I've got a scanner
36:48 <Mekkis_x200> I'll scan in the $50 note, and send it to you
36:53 <Avatar> you can't add stupidity to the equation and assume that should be ok
37:27 <Mekkis_x200> it's the same thing
43:32 <Mekkis_x200> the problem with any telegraphic communication is that it by definition makes a copy
49:33 <Mekkis_x200> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M50_Ontos
50:16 * Wrothmonk takes a look at the pic.
50:20 <Wrothmonk> Where can I buy this?
52:32 <Steven> why would you want one of those?
52:38 <Wrothmonk> "When all six weapons were fired at once, the back blast from the firing knocked bricks out of a nearby building and knocked the rear windows out of several cars."
52:44 <Wrothmonk> for reasons...
53:04 <Mekkis_x200> they're using the weapons in Syria
53:42 <Mekkis_x200> would like to see it in WoT
54:31 <Steven> i mean if you're going to buy a tank, why not just buy a Leapord 2A6?
54:44 <Steven> its from Germany... pretty bad ass tank.
56:15 <Steven> oh this item is awesome... i want a boss to have one.
56:32 <Mekkis> what item?
56:51 <Wrothmonk> Actually if i had the money I'd probably spend it on a kuratas.
56:55 <Steven> if the person dies.. 20ft radius explosion.  every day 1d4con damage that becomes drain if you fail the fort save.
57:00 <Wrothmonk> not a tank per say...
57:07 <Steven> until you make a save.
57:48 <Steven> this item is so horribly worded i cant vote for it though.
58:00 <Wrothmonk> vote?

04:59 <Mekkis> choosing the one without the grammar error
05:01 <Steven> HOLY FUCK!!!!!
05:13 <Wrothmonk> ...
05:17 <Steven> i found an item i'd actually buy on one of my characters
05:56 <Steven> OH MAN! no spelling errors or grammar fuck ups.
05:58 <Wrothmonk> A wonderous item that A: requires a beard and B: burns your beard so that it takes at least a month to re-grow regrow.
06:04 <Mekkis> !spell thorn body
06:11 <diebot> Mekkis, THORN BODY transmutation ([]) alchemist 3, druid 4 1 standard action Range: personal you Comp: V, S, DF Duration: 1 round/level Save:  SR:Source: APG
06:12 <diebot> This spell causes spines to grow from your exposed skin, damaging creatures that strike you. Any creature striking you with a melee weapon, an unarmed strike, or a natural weapon takes 1d6 points of piercing damage +1 point per caster level (maximum +15). Creatures using melee weapons with reach are unaffected by this spell. Creatures that
06:12 <diebot> successfully grapple you take 2d6 points of piercing damage +1 point per caster level (maximum +15). In addition, your natural attacks and unarmed strikes deal an additional 1d6 points of piercing damage. Thorns created by this spell persist through any new physical shape or form you assume, such as via wildshape or any polymorph effect.
06:22 * Steven is stunned by the item.
06:34 <Wrothmonk> what is it?
06:43 <Mekkis> wow
06:48 <Mekkis> that's a pretty interesting spell
07:05 <Wrothmonk> I've seen that before actually.
07:45 <Steven> i like the spell that trades natural armor for attack bonuses
07:46 <Wrothmonk> Some character on a game I was playing got that as a spell like ability for 3 times a day or something.
07:53 <Steven> specially on an anky
08:19 <Wrothmonk> oh god
08:21 <Wrothmonk> this item
08:28 <Mekkis> which one do I choose: the one that's largely useless and doesn't follow item creation guidelines, or the one that's useful, but horribly worded?
08:30 <Wrothmonk> SPELL-SPLITTER SHOT GLASS – 282 WORDS
08:45 <Wrothmonk> Anybody want to know what it does?
08:50 <Mekkis> no
09:09 <Mekkis> I need a red pen. This writing is abysmal
09:14 <Wrothmonk> lmao
09:17 <Mekkis> but the item's actually interesting
09:20 <Mekkis>  This hat can appear as a perfectly conical cap or with a frumpy overhanging tip and it always fits. It can be plain, colored, or covered in geometric patterns, runes or heavenly bodies that may move. The wearer may change its appearance or illuminate it at will. It bestows many powers upon the wearer including the ability to animate objects to follow simple commands, as the spell unseen servant except that it only affects small or smaller objects. (It 
09:20 <Mekkis> cannot affect objects carried or worn by a creature), read the surface thoughts of observed entities as the spell detect thoughts, read magical writing, and the ability to see magical auras as the spell arcane sight. It can cause others who gaze upon it to suffer the effects of hypnotic pattern using the hat as the point of origin at will. The 17 DC to pass is will based and it cannot affect anyone more than once in 24 hours regardless if they pass thei
09:20 <Mekkis> r saving throws or not. If the wearer sleeps while still wearing the cap, his dreams will become extremely lucid and profound, but are otherwise normal. 
09:39 <Mekkis> I mean, wtf
09:43 <Steven> you really shouldn't link the item text/name of items.
09:49 <Steven> it could influence our votes.
09:54 <Steven> FOR SHAME!
10:14 <Mekkis> hey, it says "Do not discuss individual entries on the messageboards during the voting period."
10:22 <Wrothmonk> I cant decide between these two
10:23 <Steven> actually thats not too bad mekkis... the things i have seen.
10:24 <Mekkis> these aren't the messageboards
10:27 <Wrothmonk> they are just both... so silly.
10:38 * Steven gives you the 1000 word stare.
10:39 <Mekkis> Steven, I know, it's not too bad. It's just horribly written
10:56 * Wrothmonk reluctantly clicks the both are good/bad
11:27 <Mekkis> ok, there's a Jingasa that requires firearms
11:33 <Steven> if you cant decide between two items, look for spelling/format/grammar error.
11:34 <Mekkis> auto fail
11:48 <Wrothmonk> Didn't catch any on either of them.
12:13 <Steven> then look to see if the spells they have selected as prereqs actually meet up with what the item does.
12:36 <Steven> then consider the price.
13:03 <Wrothmonk> oh god
13:13 <Wrothmonk> a wonderous item that effectively makes this: http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130401044243/starwars/images/f/fd/Sarlacc-BTM-DB.png 
13:17 <Wrothmonk> when you thow it on the ground
13:21 <Wrothmonk> throw*
13:47 <Steven> so its a spell in a can
14:12 <Mekkis> just vote for the shorter one
14:13 <Steven> i just saw one that 'stole' the breath out of a person as they did something, no save.
14:36 <Steven> so you could ready an action to steal the breath as a person cast a spell.
14:44 <Steven> negating the spell.
14:51 <Steven> no save.
17:02 * Steven facepalm
17:13 <Steven> i wonder if rpgsuperstar is just giving me all the bad ones.
17:26 <Mekkis> When I've been playing Heneski, he will often ready actions to interrupt spellcasting
17:53 <Steven> yeah, thats different, there are rolls involved.
18:04 <Steven> this... no save... no roll... you ready and it happens.
18:32 <Wrothmonk> Well...
18:36 <Wrothmonk> this item is interesting
18:54 <Wrothmonk> effectively creates an illusionary copy of the party that you con roll into a room ahead of you.
19:05 <Wrothmonk> can*
21:56 <Steven> oh its so cute when people name items after their characters
22:09 <Wrothmonk> Somebody really did that?
22:28 <Steven> yeah happens a fair bit
22:44 <Wrothmonk> I'm apparently getting the good ones from the sounds of it.
22:45 <Steven> or they write a cameo for their character in the description
23:04 <Wrothmonk> somebody tried to bold their item's name
23:53 <Mekkis> I name spells after my characters
23:56 <Wrothmonk> kinda speaks for the quality of the item itself.
24:36 <Mekkis> Killed my second Maus
24:54 <Steven> hahahahaahahahah
25:07 <Wrothmonk> Who the fuck has a character that has 130,000 gp to spare?
25:21 <Steven> Headband of the hirsute

25:28 <diebot> Each round, you concentrate on one target, who must be within range. You know if the target deliberately and knowingly speaks a lie by discerning disturbances in its aura caused by lying. The spell does not reveal the truth, uncover unintentional inaccuracies, or necessarily reveal evasions. Each round, you may concentrate on a different target.
25:30 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, I do
25:31 <Steven> headband of the hair.
26:10 <Steven> my life oracle has about 90k shes sitting on, my pirate has about 50k and my necromancer has about 70k
27:00 <Wrothmonk> level?
27:18 <Steven> 17, 13, 12
27:49 <Steven> course my rageprophet is level 10 now i believe and has a nice cash of 17k
28:01 <Steven> shes just gonna keep buying armor upping items.
28:19 <Wrothmonk> hrm... maybe this item is affordable then.
28:19 <Mekkis> My merchant has 2.5 million. Level 3
28:43 <Wrothmonk> Actually its obviusly better than the other one anyway.
28:48 <Wrothmonk> shouldn't have brought it up.
29:00 <Mekkis> better, or better balanced
29:08 <Wrothmonk> both actually
29:10 <Steven> cost of item is only problematic if its underpriced.
29:22 <Mekkis> Disagree
29:40 <Wrothmonk> and thats kinda saying something since it literally reflects spells back at a caster.
29:43 <Mekkis> overpriced items are useless and shouldn't exist
30:14 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, something that does that Might be worth 170k
30:29 <Wrothmonk> only has a 25% chance really.
30:32 <Steven> yeah spell reflection pretty powerful
30:36 <Steven> 25% per spell?
30:39 <Wrothmonk> and thats just if it manages to stop it anyway
30:51 <Mekkis> probably the most powerful effect
31:01 <Mekkis> after BS like time stop
31:44 <Steven> yeah high level dropping 200k on an item that even 25% of the time reflects a spell back on its caster... fuck i'd purchase that for a fighter no problem
32:58 <Wrothmonk> The other item was a magic cloak that let you turn into a medium object and apparently prevented any sort of attack from the back.
33:25 <Steven> hey found the beard item you were talking about
33:30 <Wrothmonk> two completely un-related effects on one item.
33:37 <Wrothmonk> Beard not of helfire or whatever?
33:42 <Wrothmonk> knot*
33:51 <Wrothmonk> wait, holy fire
34:04 <Wrothmonk> slightly different than helfire i think...
34:25 <Steven> the price is what does it for me.
35:21 <Mekkis> there really needs to be a "they're both shit" button
35:27 <Wrothmonk> yes
35:41 <Mekkis> !spell Gallant Inspiration
35:42 <diebot> Mekkis, GALLANT INSPIRATION divination ([]) bard 2 1 immediate action Range: close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) one living creature Comp: V Duration: instantaneous Save: Will negates (harmless) SR:yesSource: APG
35:42 <diebot> This word of arcane-empowered inspiration often ensures success of a crucial endeavor. Cast this spell when a creature fails an attack roll or skill check. The creature gains a +2d4 competence bonus to the attack roll or skill check retroactively. If the bonus is enough to turn the failure into a success, the roll succeeds.
35:58 <Wrothmonk> arent most items supposed to cost half the normal price to craft?
36:20 <Mekkis> generally, unless there's a mundane or material component
37:15 <Wrothmonk> hrm, thought so.
38:59 <Wrothmonk> I have an item that doesn't follow the normal crafting rules and an item that the effect is just shit.
40:37 <Wrothmonk> !spell Augury
40:37 <diebot> Wrothmonk, AUGURY divination ([]) cleric 2, witch 2 1 minute Range: personal you Comp: V, S, M (incense worth at least 25 gp), F (a set of marked sticks or bones worth at least 25 gp) Duration: instantaneous Save:  SR:Source: PFRPG Core

41:08 <Mekkis> The eye grants a persistent bonus of +3 to charisma
42:21 <Wrothmonk> The spoon of cannibalistic regeneration...
42:56 <Wrothmonk> short vesion: if you eat soup that has body parts in it and was stirred by this spoon, you can regrow a limb
43:13 <Steven> yeah i got that one
43:24 <Steven> im looking at a cursed item thats not a cursed item.
43:59 * Wrothmonk lols at this item's name
44:03 <Wrothmonk> vest of the headbanger
44:30 <Steven> heres a laundry list of penalties and one benefit... but the item isnt cursed... Trust me its not cursed
46:43 <Wrothmonk> I swear this one item already exists but I cant think of what its actually called
47:17 <Steven> ugh! a deck mechanism and somebodies name and cameo in description.
47:22 <Steven> i dont know which i hate more.
47:45 <Wrothmonk> basically a cloak that when activated gives you a ton of daggers floating around your character that can either be thrown or counterattack anyone in melee combat with you.
49:14 <Wrothmonk> ring any bells for anyone?
49:56 <Steven> not me sorry
50:08 <Steven> you know... i think when i can finally cast awaken in Serpents Skull
50:31 <Steven> i'm gonna cast it on a tree near the campsight
50:41 <Wrothmonk> why?
51:00 <Steven> Permanent guard
51:17 <Steven> it will act as an animated construct.
51:17 <Wrothmonk> ah.
51:26 <Steven> animated object even
52:03 <Steven> The awakened animal or tree is friendly toward you. You have no special empathy or connection with a creature you awaken, although it serves you in specific tasks or endeavors if you communicate your desires to it. If you cast awaken again, any previously awakened creatures remain friendly to you, but they no longer undertake tasks for you unless it is in the
52:24 <Steven> seems pretty boss toss to me.
57:11 <Wrothmonk> I just got an item that doesn't specifically state the limits of one of the effects!
58:29 <Steven> one can only assume its permanent then
58:49 <Steven> unless it states as per <insert spell name>
58:54 <Wrothmonk> Not that kind of limit, I mean what you need to do for it to actually work.
59:35 <Steven> default activation for items without a listed activation time is a standard action
00:08 <Wrothmonk> here I'll just give you the block text.
00:16 <Wrothmonk> The gold key opens a door to any other door in existence as per the gate spell. Usually the gold key has other special requirements on it for its use. Some examples are it can only be used when certain star patterns are right, the key must be bathed in blood for it to work, or it can only be used after specific rituals are performed.
02:05 <Steven> so standard action it looks like.
03:35 <Steven> found your pokeball party
04:04 <Wrothmonk> Barbarian I chose you!
04:22 <Wrothmonk> didn't think of that before but I suppose that is an accurate description.
14:01 <Steven> alright, goin to sleep, see ya guys
32:00 Alynn has quit (Quit: The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese)
36:45 <Mekkis> the Gate spell?!
36:47 <Mekkis> seriously
34:28 <Brunius_> Mekkis, wasn't the ontos pretty shit
34:44 <Brunius_> or am I thinking by ~1980 standards
36:02 <Mekkis> well.. yeah
36:10 <Mekkis> by 1980 standards
36:19 <Mekkis> although as I said, the gun's still used today in Syria

38:12 <Mekkis> I love the comment
38:23 <Mekkis> "So many halfwits in the valley can't deal with a single T29"
39:41 <Mekkis> do you zoom around like I do?
40:03 <Brunius_> uh?
40:19 <Mekkis> you know, using the mouse wheel compulsively
41:07 <Brunius_> apparently not
41:29 <Mekkis> you use shift?
42:20 <Brunius_> generally sit at the one zoom level and use shift as necessary
44:37 <Mekkis> oh
44:38 <Mekkis> strange
44:56 <Mekkis> how does that work out
45:22 <Brunius_> don't really have a frame of reference
45:29 <Brunius_> it's never occured to me to do anything else
45:42 <Brunius_> man you just can't kill this T34
45:56 <Mekkis> yeah
46:07 <Mekkis> eventually I gave up and realised that HE was the way to go
46:13 <Mekkis> notice how the first HE kills it
47:29 <Mekkis> and HE vs the Hellcat was probably the proper play
49:23 <Mekkis> probably: although..
56:30 Brunius_ is now known as Brunius
58:59 <Mekkis> I think I'm starting to learn how to play a heavy
59:56 <Mekkis> you work best if you've got a hull-down position. To do this, ensure that there are two (2) dead medium tanks between you and the enemy.
00:19 <Brunius> heh
01:17 <Mekkis> I single-handedly defended a flank in the TOG II* once too,
01:28 <Mekkis> but that was by blocking the bridge
