02:41:08 <DaIdiot> or is it bye nerds?
02:41:11 <DaIdiot> lmao
02:45:06 <Brunius> Surely we can talk to bigpond about this
02:57:13 <Steven> suuuuuuuup
02:57:21 <Steven> so, i got a 7th level character to build
02:59:54 <Avatar> nice
03:00:14 <Avatar> I decided I need a reach weapon for my paladin, a greatsword won't cut it
03:00:18 <Avatar> no pun intended
03:00:40 <Steven> get a flying blade
03:11:11 <Steven> so lets find out how powerful i should make this character
03:11:36 <Steven> !rand below Par optimized OP GODLY
03:11:36 <dicebot> Steven, random: below
03:11:42 <Steven> oh... making a rogue.
03:12:23 <Steven> but really, avatar... i'm at 23-24 characters now
03:14:56 <Steven> what do ya think i should make?
03:15:09 <Avatar> a rogue
03:15:12 <Avatar> the dice have spoken
03:15:18 <Mekkis> Brunius, I've actually tried once
03:15:19 <Steven> actually i already have a rogue
03:15:31 <Steven> i mean, technically a ninja
03:16:33 <Steven> but it totally counts
03:19:05 <Avatar> it does not
03:19:27 <Avatar> show me your paladin
03:20:07 <Avatar> SHOW me your pala doble
03:24:23 <Brunius> I guess it didn't work so well?
03:24:43 <Steven> I have a Cloistered Cleric, polearm fighter, inquisitor, barbarian, bard, druid, lorewarden/shadow dancer, ranger, monk, gunslinger/inquisitor, divine strategist, Oracle, Alchemist, Magus, Lorewarden/Living monolith, sorcerer, Ninja/Monk, Rage Prophet, Wizard, my level 7 im trying to build, and then a few more level 1-2s i havent built yet
03:30:11 <Steven> suppose i could make a paladin
03:38:20 <Steven> oh hey they announced gencon
03:38:48 <Avatar> you don't have a paladin wtf?
03:39:47 <Steven> nah, never really been all that excited bout paladins
03:39:57 <Avatar> well make one because I need help building mine
03:42:02 <Steven> i think i'll hold off till i get a ratfolk boon
03:42:13 <Mekkis> Want me to build one, Avatar?
03:43:01 <Avatar> yeah
03:43:07 <Avatar> two handed weapon
03:43:13 <Avatar> not an archer
03:44:23 <Mekkis> the character concept I have in mind would use a one-handed weapon
03:44:38 <Avatar> why
03:44:58 <Avatar> well as long as it works with a two handed weapon build I guess that is acceptable
03:45:12 <Mekkis> actually considering Shaman instead
03:45:48 <Mekkis> I'd make a paladin, if I could get a Wayang boon
03:46:22 <Avatar> do you reckon you could get a retraining synergy from druid to shaman
03:46:27 <Avatar> for 5 prestige per level instead of 7
03:46:39 <Avatar> it's an oracle/witch, but has druid spells
03:46:56 <Mekkis> don't know
03:47:18 <Avatar> would you frown on it if someone came to your table with a retrained druid/shaman on 5 prestige per level
03:55:21 <Steven> hmmmm
03:55:46 <Steven> thinking of making a shadowcaster Thassalonian specialist illusion.
03:56:12 <Avatar> are wings a really terrible alchemist discovery @ 6th level
03:56:30 <Steven> they alright
03:56:51 <Avatar> there are probably better choices tactically (that I can't find) but they kind of fit my character concept anyway
03:57:20 <Avatar> by accident, I just wanted to be able to fly without having to spend a standard action to activate
03:57:30 <Avatar> then I realised oh actually he wants to be a dragon. and dragons fly
03:57:40 <Avatar> with their wings
03:59:57 <Avatar> listen to me trying to manage 3 characters at the same time
04:02:39 <Lintor> Brun when you running SS next?
04:06:15 <Steven> you so cray cray
04:14:52 <Brunius> Been meaning to ask people about when they can make it
04:15:01 <Brunius> How's the 16th for you?
04:16:12 <Brunius> !findchar Kaleb
04:16:14 <Lintor> i could do morning
04:16:18 <diebot> Brunius, Character: Kaleb, number: 229( http://www.pfrpg.com.au/viewchar.php5?char=229 )
04:16:46 <Brunius> Is that 11am-4pmish morning or 9am-lunchish morning?
04:18:44 <Steven> wow... i can have lots of spells.
04:19:41 <Lintor> 9-2
04:27:51 <Mekkis> 16th is fine by me
04:28:24 <Mekkis> how close are we to levelling, by the way...?
04:51:28 <Mekkis> Brunius, Telstra hardly speaks to their customers. Why would they care about someone who isn't?
04:54:59 <Lintor> xause every non customer is a potential customer
05:06:39 <Mekkis> not if they're complaining about their other customers, being idiots on IRC
05:15:34 <Steven> level 7... 24 int... 12 first level spells.
05:21:50 <s_gmusic> retarded router. :|
05:25:39 <Steven> cool
05:25:48 <Steven> i made a level 7 character with 12 first level spells
05:27:46 <s_gmusic> oh? race/class/archetype?
05:28:03 <Steven> wizard
05:28:14 <Steven> its just an excersize is silliness
05:28:40 <s_gmusic> It's not silly until it's proven to not be functional. ;)
05:30:28 <Steven> no, its silly
05:30:39 <Steven> its exceptionally functional
05:30:45 <Steven> but its silly all the same.
05:30:55 <s_gmusic> I can has build plz. :D
05:31:45 <Steven> i gets bitched at when i give OP builds away.
05:32:02 <s_gmusic> by who? certainly not me. ;)
05:33:06 <s_gmusic> just realizing how much crap I have on my table. attempting to clean some of it off. >.>
05:37:47 <s_gmusic> y'know that thing where people are shown just sweeping things off a table or desk right into a trash can and everything falls right in? Yeah.... that doesn't actually work. :\
05:43:55 <Steven> duh
05:44:01 <s_gmusic> :P
06:01:53 <Avatar> does wrothmonk play either SS or wotw?
06:02:03 <Brunius_> SS
06:03:38 <Avatar> ok games are scheduled
06:03:40 <Steven> god paladins are boring.
06:03:47 <Avatar> is anyone here keen on playing WBG2
06:03:54 <Brunius> negative
06:03:57 <Avatar> need to know if friday evening or saturday morning is better
06:04:01 <Brunius> I still haven't played WBG
06:04:04 <Steven> boring ass goody two shoes
06:04:15 <Avatar> seriously?
06:04:23 <Brunius> Doesn't really interest me
06:04:28 <Avatar> mate get interested
06:04:31 <Avatar> WBG is a fantastic module
06:04:39 <Avatar> short too
06:10:24 Brunius|M has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
06:11:44 <s_gmusic> we've kind of subverted the "lawful good" thing about paladins locally
06:12:16 <s_gmusic> it's lawful good by your deity first, the place you're at second.
06:13:56 <Steven> gotta be lawful good, follow your code, and your deity all the times.
06:26:25 Brunius|M ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
06:26:40 <Steven> suppose the paladin of the holy light aint bad
06:26:54 <Steven> give people moral bonus to ac/att/dmg
06:28:01 <Steven> could do some sort of bard paladin
06:31:35 <s_gmusic> what determines the bonus? is it a static boost?
06:37:27 <Steven> it is just a flat +1
06:38:22 <Steven> standard action that lasts for 1 minute
06:41:20 <s_gmusic> ah
07:02:48 <Brunius> So twitch does their chat backend through IRC
07:02:58 <Brunius> I just logged in to twitch plays pokemon
07:03:04 <Brunius> 60k people in the chat room
07:03:08 <Brunius> what would a net split look like?
07:05:04 <Avatar> IRC really?
07:05:12 <Avatar> very strange setu
07:05:13 <Avatar> p
07:05:39 <Brunius> Might not actually be traditional IRC, just IRC-compliant
07:05:48 <Brunius> I could log in with xchat, they mention mIRC working
07:09:14 <Mekkis> I really want to like the Shaman
07:11:16 <Avatar> why don't you
07:11:49 <Avatar> feels like it can't quite support itself
07:14:36 <Mekkis> yeah...
07:14:44 <Mekkis> it feels disjointed
07:14:57 <Steven> bought my plane ticket to gencon
07:15:59 <Mekkis> I particularly like Spirit Magic: you can spontaneously cast a single spell once per day
07:16:19 <Mekkis> a single, defined spell
07:16:40 <Mekkis> why even use the word 'spontaneously'
07:17:52 <Mekkis> also the multiple wis/cha dependence
07:23:59 <Avatar> 4-5 is the only subtier I don't have a dood for
07:24:14 <Avatar> I didn't realise I had such a large spread
07:24:29 <Avatar> I knew I covered every tier, but didn't realise almost every subtier as well
07:28:29 <Yiroep> I honestly haven't had an urge to play any of the ACG classes except Slayer.
07:29:05 <Yiroep> Although Hunter is pretty solid, too.
07:31:27 <Yiroep> Although I like full casters mostly, and the ACG isn't priivy to "pure" characters. :p
07:31:52 <Yiroep> Kind of against the point of the hybrid...
07:34:33 <Steven> mekkis, the spontaneous casting only becomes useful when you get the wandering spirit class feature

15:56:12 <diebot> Mekkis, SNAPDRAGON FIREWORKS transmutation ([fire, light]) bard 2, sorcerer/wizard 1 1 standard action Range: long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) Comp: S, V, M (a bundle of sulfur wrapped in cloth) Duration: 1 round/level Save: Reflex negates SR:yesSource: Ultimate Magic
15:56:13 <diebot> A favorite display at halfling midsummer festivals, this spell lets you create fireworks in the shape of tiny dragons. Once per round, as a move action, you may designate a target 5-foot-square within range and launch a pyrotechnic in that direction. The pyrotechnic takes a zigzag path from you to that square, always missing creatures and objects
15:56:13 <diebot> in its path, and detonates in that square with a bang and a colorful burst of fire and light. Creatures in the target square take 1d4 points of fire damage and are dazzled for 1 round (Reflex half, a successful save negates the dazzled condition). Normally when this spell is used as part of a festival, the chosen target is high in the sky to
15:56:13 <diebot> increase visibility and protect observers.
16:03:19 <Steven> suuuuuuuuup
16:03:37 <Philderbeast> so apprently the 2 Chuffys didnt like my GMing of WBG2....
16:04:10 <Avatar> what'd they say
16:04:43 <Philderbeast> apparently i was wrong to say they could not stealth in to the Cheifs tent while being watched by the whole goblin tribe,
16:05:12 <Philderbeast> and apparently following rule as written with the fireballs ending the last encounter somewhat prematurely was a bad idea
16:05:37 <Steven> well thats what you get for following the rules
16:05:40 <Steven> noob
16:05:57 <Avatar> I have to say I feel a bit robbed not playing out that last encounter
16:06:04 <Philderbeast> that last bit was actully from the VL
16:06:05 <Avatar> that is half the scenario
16:06:20 <Steven> NOOB!
16:06:26 <Philderbeast> i can understand that, but following the rules i have to let what happened
16:06:46 <Avatar> I don't think we understood the implications of what was going to happen
16:08:09 <Philderbeast> still... not much i can do about it unless i want to break all the rules to let you do the fight. and then cop a legitiment complaint for breaking them
16:08:38 <Philderbeast> and considering that literaly the 5th table i have seen do exactly that with the intention of that happening
16:08:39 <Avatar> I read up about it, other groups don't sound like they had the same issue somehow
16:09:07 <Avatar> you should've cut off the pvp early on
16:09:14 <Avatar> that was really getting in the way, even for goblins
16:09:25 <Philderbeast> if they had of done anymore i was going to askthem to leave the table
16:09:41 <Avatar> you don't have to ask them to leave, you can just rule no pvp
16:09:56 <Philderbeast> i had already warned them about it
16:09:58 <Avatar> explain it's getting out of hand, everyone will understand
16:10:34 <Philderbeast> to be honest im not sure they would have
16:11:04 <Avatar> keep it diplomatic
16:11:15 <Avatar> don't say "don't do that or else !"
16:11:21 <Avatar> that wouldn't work :P
16:11:41 <Philderbeast> you should have seen the looks i got when i told them that if it got to bad i would not allow it
16:12:28 <Philderbeast> and considering the message i got from the local VL.... well i wont be running many more games whiel im down here
16:12:28 <Avatar> I missed that, not sure what the circumstances were
16:13:01 <Philderbeast> it was just made as a general warning about pvp, that if it got to out of hand i would not allow them.... and that was before they took off with the holy symbol
16:13:49 <Steven> i'd be for you slapping them in the face with the bottom of your shoe
16:14:15 <Steven> and then screaming at them in german about the poor quality of their roleplaying
16:14:26 <Philderbeast> unfortunatly the way its written... poog just outshines all the other characters so much its retarded....
16:14:27 <Avatar> they were roleplaying
16:14:33 <Avatar> that's why the whole thing was questionable
16:14:48 <Philderbeast> that the only reason i let them get as far as they did
16:15:37 <s_gmusic> I... think they changed the look of the forums, guys...
16:15:46 <Avatar> yeah they are harder to read now
16:16:51 <Philderbeast> anywho im off for dinner, but i think im going to have to take the VL's message to the VC.... it was well out of line
16:17:01 <Philderbeast> not that i expect to get anywhere
16:18:13 <Steven> looks like they changed the font
17:07:11 <Avatar> and some colours
17:07:23 <Avatar> I find it harder to read since the post separators are barely visible now

17:24:26 <diebot> This shining golden staff is topped with a radiant gemstone that emits light like a torch. As a swift action, the wielder of the staff can cause it to change into a +2 lance, although it retains its other abilities. It can be made to revert to its staff form as a free action. The staff allows use of the following spells: • Bless weapon (1 charge,
17:24:26 <diebot> cast on the staff only) • Shield other (1 charge) • Discern lies (2 charges) • Holy sword (4 charges, cast on the staff only) Source: Ultimate Equipment

17:24:49 <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.
17:24:51 <Mekkis> !spell shield other
17:24:52 <diebot> Mekkis, SHIELD OTHER abjuration ([]) cleric 2, paladin 2, inquisitor 2 1 standard action Range: close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) one creature Comp: V, S, F (a pair of platinum rings worth 50 gp worn by both you and the target) Duration: 1 hour/level Save: Will negates (harmless) SR:yes (harmless)Source: PFRPG Core
17:24:52 <diebot> This spell wards the subject and creates a mystic connection between you and the subject so that some of its wounds are transferred to you. The subject gains a +1 deflection bonus to AC and a +1 resistance bonus on saves. Additionally, the subject takes only half damage from all wounds and attacks (including those dealt by special abilities) that
17:24:52 <diebot> deal hit point damage. The amount of damage not taken by the warded creature is taken by you. Forms of harm that do not involve hit points, such as charm effects, temporary ability damage, level draining, and death effects, are not affected. If the subject suffers a reduction of hit points from a lowered Constitution score, the reduction is not
17:24:52 <diebot> split with you because it is not hit point damage. When the spell ends, subsequent damage is no longer divided between the subject and you, but damage already split is not reassigned to the subject. If you and the subject of the spell move out of range of each other, the spell ends.

17:26:23 <diebot> The warded creature gains resistance to blows, cuts, stabs, and slashes. The subject gains DR 10/adamantine. It ignores the first 10 points of damage each time it takes damage from a weapon, though an adamantine weapon bypasses the reduction. Once the spell has prevented a total of 10 points of damage per caster level (maximum 150 points), it is
17:26:23 <diebot> discharged.

17:50:27 <Avatar> I didn't know these consumables existed
17:50:33 <Brunius> Just a bunch of scrolls
17:50:40 <Brunius> 'a scroll for every situation'
17:50:44 <Avatar> unstable accelerant from ARG is +1d6 damage to fire bombs
17:51:14 <Avatar> yeah you need to have a bunch of scrolls handy
17:51:35 <Avatar> working out crafting pricing is going to be a headache
18:30:09 <Steven> alright
18:30:16 <Steven> i think im going to go play d3
18:31:27 <Mekkis> I'm unconvinced by every ACG class
18:33:27 <Mekkis> who here is actually on bigpond?
18:33:50 <Mekkis> hmmm...
18:33:51 <Mekkis> noone
18:33:56 <Mekkis> I think Ulzef is
18:35:17 <Steven> i'd have thought you'd have added your thoughts to the playtest forums not whine about it months after it was over.
18:35:33 <Brunius> It's not about who is currently on bigpond
18:35:38 <Brunius> But the effect on new players
18:37:37 <Mekkis> Steven, I felt that my criticism wasn't constructive
18:38:39 <Mekkis> I don't think "We really don't need any new classes. I suggest you scrap the idea and instead clarify some of the rules that really need clarification - and work on fixing some of the balance issues" would be appreciated.
18:39:26 <Steven> well you should have said that...
18:39:36 <Mekkis> seriously?
18:40:05 <Mekkis> even I can see that that would be unconstructive

18:40:10 Ballig1 is now known as Ballig
18:40:22 <Mekkis> is this a Ballig I see before me?

18:41:04 <Steven> well paizo listens to their player base a fair bit, im sure they would have read it and completely disregarded it in pursuit of profits.
18:41:09 dicebot has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
18:41:10 dicebot6 is now known as dicebot
18:41:45 <Mekkis> and I can understand that
18:43:00 <Mekkis> they are a company, and they do need profits
18:44:02 <Steven> http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2qr6u?ShakaUVMs-guide-to-playing-a-Necromancer-in-PFS
18:44:02 <Steven> that guys guide makes for a really boring necromancer imo
18:46:38 <Mekkis> Steven, in the context of 'creative solutions', how do you handle the use of the Diplomacy skill?
18:46:53 <Steven> blah
18:47:05 <Steven> i hate when my internet connectivity drops out
18:47:31 <Steven> however i want
18:47:42 <Steven> i'm a free spirit man, cant bind me with rules!
18:50:10 <Mekkis> For example, in Godsmarket Gamble, would you allow a sufficient check to turn the final boss from Hostile to Indifferent, followed by another check to convince the final boss to surrender?
18:51:25 <Steven> nah that bitch gotta go down!
18:53:16 <Mekkis> and as a GM, why would you rule that way?
18:53:30 <Steven> cause im not caring about this conversation.
18:53:33 <Brunius> Just gonna jump in here
18:53:41 <Brunius> That's meant to be a climatic final battle isn't it
18:53:51 <Mekkis> yes and no
18:54:01 <Brunius> If one player can go "I have +30 to diplomacy, I tell her we're bitchin' and she surrenders" that kind of wrecks it
18:54:35 <Mekkis> true htat
18:54:51 <Mekkis> tanks, Brunius?
18:55:20 <Brunius> Mekkis, I'm launching a communications network for a race of little green men with strangely cylindrical heads!
18:57:15 <Steven> so seriously what could a person say that would convince that chick to stop fighting?
19:04:43 <Mekkis> "Look, Parani, we know everything that you've done; and we know that you've been a successful member of the Greycloaks. The fact is: if you keep shooting us, there's no way that you will leave Absalom alive, and you will end up wherever the godless go. Should you surrender, we will ensure that you receive a fair trial, and that you are protected from those who are wrathful to you. We are Pathfinders, who would have use for someone of your obvious talent
19:04:43 <Mekkis> s in obtaining artefacts.
19:05:22 <Steven> nah shes still gonna try to kill you.

20:28:28 <Mekkis> Steven, what about simply offering her sanctuary and wealth with the Pathfinder Society?
20:31:00 <Steven> she wouldnt believe it.
20:32:01 <Mekkis> so you're saying there'd be no way - short of a /charm person/ - to talk her out of attacking?
20:32:11 <Steven> no possible way.
20:33:29 <Steven> alright goin to play the mighty quest for epic loot
20:33:35 Steven has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
20:33:51 <Mekkis> Brunius, Avatar: would you agree?
20:34:41 <Brunius> I'd think it'd be situational
20:34:51 <Brunius> Most of the time, I wouldn't allow it.
20:36:06 <Mekkis> what if they had the ability to make diplomacy checks as a standard action?
20:41:50 Steven ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
20:41:54 <Steven> its verifying files.... blah
20:50:28 <Mekkis> Steven, would a supernatural ability to make diplomacy checks as a standard action change this?
20:55:28 <Avatar> umm
20:55:38 <Avatar> the "you can't diplomacise in combat" rule aside
20:55:52 <Avatar> you need to be super smart about that kind of thing
20:56:09 <Avatar> a +30 to diplomacy with we're bitching is obviously the opposite of that
20:56:15 <Avatar> I assume that's not what you're talking about
20:56:22 <Mekkis> technically you can, you just need to spend One Minute of continuous interaction
20:56:37 <Avatar> but what you think is a fantastic creative solution and what actually is a fantastic creative solution may be two different things
20:57:12 <Mekkis> I'm trying to work out of a diplomacy-based character would work
20:57:21 <Avatar> if you want to try it, I'd say try it, but know the point where you know diplomacy isn't going to be an option
20:57:24 <Mekkis> who could Actually talk his way out of combat situations
20:57:37 <Avatar> a rogue?
20:58:12 <Mekkis> more likely a paladin or cleric
20:58:27 <Mekkis> actually... Kernigahn could try that
21:00:33 <Avatar> you can't really diplomacise an ooze
21:00:50 <Avatar> you know, for example
21:09:32 <Mekkis> trust Brunius
21:09:44 <Mekkis> that was... insightful
21:10:08 <Brunius> did I miss something?
21:10:16 <Mekkis> that was... insightful
21:10:19 <Mekkis> trust Brunius
21:10:53 <Mekkis> only need another 111850 XP
21:46:11 <pooptruf> i love u guys
21:46:23 <pooptruf> if it wasnt for u guys id be dead
21:46:33 <Mekkis> that's good.
21:46:40 <pooptruf> time to let my hair down and put my feet up
21:46:49 <pooptruf> i feel so relaxed in here
21:47:55 <pooptruf> u guys dont mind if i take my clothes off?
21:48:01 <pooptruf> were all guys in here
21:48:12 * pooptruf sits down naked
21:53:29 <Mekkis> oh wow
21:53:45 <Mekkis> Avatar, do any of your characters worship Erastil?
22:11:40 <Steven> erastil pretty cool dude... you know... for a god who doesnt like whores.
22:25:16 <Mekkis> matches a lot of the population
22:28:07 <Avatar> 2.5 hour game
22:31:02 <Brunius> 2.5hr game?
22:31:17 <Brunius> Also I think we decided on wotw for 3pm saturday the 15th
22:31:20 <Avatar> yeah we played we be goblins too in 2.5 hours
22:31:22 <Brunius> Is that right, Mekkis?
22:31:24 <Brunius> Oh right
22:31:32 <Avatar> devolved into total chaos, in a bad way
22:31:32 <Brunius> Philderbeast was running it wasn't he?
22:32:17 <Avatar> Philderbeast = phillip ledger ?
22:34:08 <Avatar> half the game was pvp
22:35:33 <Avatar> yeah same phil
22:35:48 <s_gmusic> just discovered a big (for me) drawback to my new contact lenses: it's difficult for me to see small details on objects close to my face like I normally could. this will create issues for me modifying and painting miniatures. :(
