00:20:33 <Avatar> it's another almost done one
00:20:44 <Avatar> dunno, evocation focused
00:20:48 <Avatar> magic missile/fireball etc
00:21:03 <Avatar> admixture school
00:21:11 <Mekkis> wizard, not sorcerer?
00:21:38 <Avatar> yeah wizard
00:21:47 <Avatar> I have no interest in classes that get spells a level later than an alternate class
00:22:34 <Damalon01> hehehe
00:22:41 <Mekkis> so varisian tattoo?
00:23:25 <Avatar> yeah mage's tattoo
00:23:39 <Mekkis> not called that
00:23:43 <Avatar> magical knack, mage's tattoo, spell specialization
00:23:55 <Avatar> somewhere there's been a rename
00:23:59 <Mekkis> nope
00:24:06 <Avatar> pretty sure
00:24:08 <Mekkis> on d20pfsrd it's listed as that
00:24:12 <Mekkis> nowhere else
00:24:18 <Avatar> yeah it used to be listed there as varisian tattoo
00:24:31 <Avatar> I know because I was going to give it to Cairo
00:25:25 <Mekkis> but the name hasn't changed
00:25:48 <Avatar> potatoes potartoes
00:25:50 <Mekkis> anyway, magical knack won't work
00:27:24 <Avatar> looks like it does yo?
00:27:30 <Avatar> what suggests that it doesn't
00:28:44 <Mekkis> Magical Knack: You were raised, either wholly or in part,
00:28:44 <Mekkis> by a magical creature, either after it found you abandoned
00:28:44 <Mekkis> in the woods or because your parents often left you in the
00:28:44 <Mekkis> care of a magical minion. This constant exposure to magic
00:28:44 <Mekkis> has made its mysteries easy for you to understand, even
00:28:44 <Mekkis> when you turn your mind to other devotions and tasks. Pick
00:28:46 <Mekkis> a class when you gain this trait—your caster level in that
00:28:48 <Mekkis> class gains a +2 trait bonus as long as this bonus doesn’t raise your caster level above your current Hit Dice.
00:29:03 <Mekkis> apg p329
00:29:42 <Avatar> yeah but after level 2 it's all good
00:29:52 <Mekkis> you planning on multiclassing?
00:29:54 <Avatar> oh wait, is it for multiclassing
00:29:57 <Avatar> fuck
00:29:58 <Mekkis> yeah
00:30:11 <Mekkis> it allows a wizard 2 / fighter 2 to have a CL of 4
00:30:22 <Avatar> yeah I don't want to multiclass
00:30:22 <Mekkis> it does not let a wizard 4 get a CL of 6
00:30:26 <Avatar> I may as well be a goddamn sorcerer
00:31:00 <Avatar> well that's fortunate, I have magical lineage and pragmatic activator
00:31:04 <Mekkis> my most blasty character is a sorcerer
00:31:18 <Avatar> reduce metamagic by 1 on fireball, and use int for UMD
00:32:29 <Mekkis> not going Wayang Spellhunter as well?
00:33:01 <Avatar> I don't have that book
00:33:09 <Avatar> does that stack with magical lineage?
00:33:13 <Mekkis> it does
00:35:03 <Mekkis> do you really plan on using UMD?
00:35:15 <Avatar> dunno
00:35:24 <Avatar> I never plan on using it until I use it
00:36:45 <Avatar> reducing metamagic by 2 is pretty amazing though
00:37:20 <Mekkis> gifted adept?
00:40:10 <Avatar> on the maybe list
00:40:17 pheleas_frog ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
00:41:35 <Mekkis> the most effective way of improving caster level would require UMD for a wizard
00:42:49 pheleas_frog ([email protected]) has left #d&d
00:43:25 <Mekkis> but I suppose that for you, metamagicking fireballs is more important than pushing CL really, really high, right?
00:44:24 <Avatar> I have no idea
00:48:32 <Mekkis> are you sold on wizard, or will you look at something else, if it's better at what you're trying?
00:49:17 <Avatar> pretty sure nothing is better than wizard
00:49:23 <Avatar> this was meant to be an arcanist
00:49:30 <Avatar> sorcerer isn't an option
00:49:35 <Mekkis> why?
00:49:42 <Avatar> I want higher level spells asap
00:49:56 <Mekkis> in order to achieve...?
00:50:09 <Avatar> the use of higher level spells
00:50:22 <Mekkis> to blast better?
00:50:22 <Avatar> that's the top priority for the character, even above blasting
00:50:31 <Avatar> general spell use
00:51:11 <Mekkis> okay
00:58:04 <Mekkis> possibility of cleric or druid
00:58:27 <Avatar> I already have a cleric and a druid
00:58:34 <Avatar> both of which can be retrained
00:59:05 <Avatar> I want to make a shaman out of the druid if I can work out if the damn synergy fits
00:59:17 <Avatar> nobody knows and I'm sure once the ACG comes out, nobody will still know
00:59:33 <Mekkis> Aasimar. Fire domain. Preferred spell. Consecreted spell.
00:59:54 <Mekkis> spontaneously cast maximised fireballs using 3rd level slots
01:00:59 <Mekkis> alternatively, oracle, but that has delayed spell progression
01:03:45 <Avatar> nah has to be a wizard
01:03:58 <Avatar> I want to optimise as a one trick pony, but I don't actually want him to be a one trick pony
01:04:05 <Avatar> I want the arcane spells
01:04:19 <Avatar> the only real possible alternative is arcanist
01:04:39 <Avatar> it's not impossible that the character won't be played until the ACG comes out in august
01:04:55 <Mekkis> tattooed sorcerer?
01:05:08 <Mekkis> you get varisian tattoo for free then
01:05:28 <Avatar> does a tattooed sorcerer get full spell progression
01:05:48 <Mekkis> standard as arcanist/sorcerer
01:06:13 <Avatar> yeah you're right, arcanist has to be out too then
01:06:25 <Avatar> that might've been part of the reason for ditching it
01:07:34 <Mekkis> so, what will you be abusing? Fireball? Scorching Ray?
01:07:36 <Mekkis> something else?
01:07:42 <Avatar> fireball
01:08:10 <Mekkis> so. You're looking at damage and DC
01:08:36 <Mekkis> I'm assuming you'll choose a good race
01:08:38 <Mekkis> like gnome?
01:09:12 <Avatar> gnome isn't a good race
01:09:18 <Mekkis> Pyromaniac Gnomes with this racial trait are treated as one level higher when casting spells with the fire descriptor, using granted powers of the Fire domain, using the bloodline powers of the fire elemental bloodline or the revelations of the oracle's flame mystery, and determining the damage of alchemist bombs that deal fire damage (this ability does not give gnomes early access to level-based powers; it only affects the powers they could use without
01:09:18 <Mekkis> this ability). Gnomes with Charisma scores of 11 or higher also gain the following spell-like abilities: 1/day—dancing lights, flare, prestidigitation, produce flame. The caster level for these effects is equal to the gnome's level; the DCs are Charisma-based. This racial trait replaces gnome magic and illusion resistance.
01:09:28 <Avatar> this is a half-elf, I could go elf or human
01:10:02 <Avatar> that does sound good
01:10:03 <Avatar> except it's a gnome
01:10:34 <Mekkis> you racist bastard
01:11:37 <Avatar> yes I am racist against gnomes
01:11:51 <Avatar> if it makes you feel any better I don't wish genocide on them, yet
01:12:07 <Mekkis> that's not good Equity and Diversity in the Pathfinder Society
01:13:19 <Avatar> in real life I'm not in the society
01:13:50 <Mekkis> then you should try roleplaying a gnome
01:17:58 <Avatar> no I am racist
01:18:13 <Mekkis> like mort
01:18:35 <Avatar> sure
01:18:41 <Avatar> doesn't she like gnomes
01:18:54 <Avatar> that seems out of character
01:19:26 <Mekkis> she keeps talking about punting them
01:19:40 <Avatar> not like mort then
01:19:46 <Avatar> I can separate reality from fiction
01:20:07 <Mekkis> she's played Eot10 you know
01:21:14 <Avatar> what does that have to do with gnomes
01:21:28 <Mekkis> nothing
01:23:05 <Brunius> Don't you also talk about burning Lemures?
01:23:16 <Mekkis> me'?\
01:23:17 <Mekkis> no
01:23:38 <Mekkis> so. Who still uses XP?
01:23:59 <Brunius> my father
01:24:25 <Brunius> I think largely because he's in linux most of the time and hasn't got around to borrowing a key for 7 from work yet
01:36:42 <Mekkis> what sort of laptop can I get for $500 these days
02:04:34 <Brunius> http://www.reddit.com/r/worldbuilding/comments/201seo/we_created_golarion_the_pathfinder_campaign/

02:15:31 <s_gmusic> anyway. managed to get an Undine and Extra Hours boon this weekend. just have to decide what to do with them now.
02:15:58 <Steven> cool
02:16:02 <Steven> i have an undine boon.
02:16:10 <Steven> its sitting in my boon drawr.

02:16:27 <s_gmusic> lol
02:17:16 <Steven> kinda wish i was playing some pfs
02:18:30 <s_gmusic> I'm thinking I may just sit out of our regular tuesday PFS tonight to avoid burnout from the past weekend.
02:19:14 <Brunius> hey hey
02:20:07 <s_gmusic> played saturday morning, ran Siege of the Diamond City that afternoon and ran that evening. played sunday morning, then ran the final afternoon adventure. *sigh*
02:21:24 <Avatar> yo
02:21:48 <s_gmusic> hey avatar, brunius
02:22:00 <Avatar> I can run something next weekend (not this weekend) if there's some interest to play
02:23:37 <s_gmusic> I may be able to play if you mean the weekend of the 22nd. This weekend I have to finish playing in Eyes of Ten. Gonna try and finish parts 3 and 4 in one shot Saturday. >.<
02:23:47 <Avatar> yeah that weekend
02:23:59 <Avatar> what tiers can you play
02:25:12 <Steven> sup brunius
02:25:13 <s_gmusic> I think I have some thing everywhere. trying to fix a phone, then I'll be fixing characters and going through my certs from last weekend
02:25:39 <s_gmusic> what were you thinking, avatar?
02:26:29 <Steven> i think this wednesday imma see if i can get my buddy little steve to run me some Destiny of the sands part 2
02:27:21 <s_gmusic> Sands pt.2 was fun. I'm trying to do part 1 in the next couple days. :)
02:28:56 <Avatar> depends what tiers you have
02:29:28 <Avatar> we be goblins too or sarkorian prophecy would be ideal
02:37:47 <s_gmusic> already played in goblins 2. prophecy doesn't sound familiar.
02:42:54 <Avatar> no look if you express interest I can choose a scenario that fits whoever wants to play
02:43:15 <Avatar> I am throwing out some ideas, don't opt out because the scenarios don't work
02:43:34 <Avatar> that's why I need to know what tiers you have
02:45:57 <Steven> avatar run goblins 2 right now go go!
02:46:12 <Avatar> I'll run it now if you give me a dragon boon
02:46:34 <Steven> damn it... i knew compton was gonna ruin my stash!
02:46:46 <Avatar> I don't even want a dragon boon
02:46:54 <Avatar> I am pretty sure he picked up that I was making a joke and perhaps you did not !
02:47:08 <Steven> ...

07:03:06 <Steven> not that spectacular.
07:08:22 <Avatar> not if you're never unconscious, I guess!
07:10:04 <Steven> autostabalize and +2 vs death effects
07:10:23 <Avatar> that is a life-saving trait

08:19:56 <Sedna42> hi there.. anyone online?
08:20:05 <Mekkis> yes, briefly
08:20:24 <Sedna42> I just came across your website and I'm wondering how the online PFS games work
08:21:06 <Mekkis> we organise a group, we use a virtual tabletop software, and we generally use a combination of text and voice to communicate
08:21:59 <Sedna42> cool! I'm from Portugal and I usually play once a month over here.. any chance I can use my character, in case you guys let me play with you online?
08:22:09 <Mekkis> of course you can
08:22:36 <Sedna42> great! I'll just read the website over, then.. won't bother you anymore right now :)
08:22:40 <Sedna42> thanks for the info
08:28:30 <Mekkis> no problem. I need to get to work now. People are usually on in the evenings, around 0500 UTC
08:30:34 <Sedna42> 5 am?
08:31:20 <Mekkis> 4pm over here. Most of us are east coast Australia. But we have had british, russians, and americans here too.
08:32:06 <Sedna42> do you play on weekends or during the week?
08:32:19 <Mekkis> almost always weekends.
08:32:33 <Sedna42> not a problem, then

21:13:30 <Steven> hey guys
21:13:52 <Steven> i took a pill, my headache will hopefully soon be a memory
21:14:08 <Steven> so hows it goin?
21:14:17 <Steven> anyone wanna talk about anything interesting?
21:14:40 <Steven> like some crazy ass builds
21:14:56 <Steven> or some cool gaming stories?
21:19:43 Brunius|M ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
21:21:40 <s_gmusic> have you looked at Warpriest playtest?
21:22:33 <Steven> yeah
21:22:46 <Steven> kinda had to familiarize myself with them
21:23:47 <s_gmusic> thinking of using my Undine to make a TWF Finesse Warpriest
21:24:06 <s_gmusic> Since it has a STR penalty, though, I'd have to find a way to get DEX to damage, not just to-hit
21:24:26 <Steven> agile weapons
21:25:12 <Steven> piranha strike is going to be a must for damage since it is power attack for dex builds
21:25:20 <Steven> will cost you 10 bucks for the pdf
21:25:52 <s_gmusic> pdf of what?
21:26:58 <Steven> sargava or whaterver its called
21:27:07 <Steven> its the only place that has piranha strike
21:28:41 <Steven> http://paizo.com/products/btpy8ey2?Pathfinder-Companion-Sargava-the-Lost-Colony
21:29:02 <Mekkis> what's the point of pirannha strike?
21:29:06 <s_gmusic> blarg.
21:29:13 <Steven> its power attack for dex builds
21:29:24 <s_gmusic> and Agile is only is the Society Field Guide, not primer. :(
21:30:26 <Steven> yup
21:30:32 <Steven> it sucks i know.
21:31:20 <Steven> but to make a damaging dex build you kinda need those things.
21:31:32 <Steven> unless you go sneak attack route
21:32:41 <Steven> barbarian 2/ninja(or rogue if you want) rage out all hardcore and then hit somebody with a sneak attack vital strike furious finish
21:34:16 <Steven> i think that might be what i suggest to walter for his ratfolk
21:34:54 <s_gmusic> I want to make some use of its abilities. first thing it looked good for is a Gunslinger, but don't want a second of those. next would be a DEX monk, but already have a Monk in the works (almost level 3 from GM certs and not sure if I want it to be Core Vanilla or use an archetype. it's an Oni-spawn Tiefling). beyond that is a twf or finesse build, but aside from Will saves and some skills, the
21:34:54 <s_gmusic> +2 WIS ain't too big for one.
21:34:56 <s_gmusic> suggestions?
21:36:00 <Steven> okay... i have no idea what you just said
21:36:29 <Steven> you want a twf or finesse warpriest build?
21:37:25 <s_gmusic> sorry, kind of rambled a bit
21:37:44 <Steven> yeah, try not to do that too much, i took a pill im gonna just get loopy
21:37:45 <s_gmusic> I want to make good use of the Undine's abilities, but not sure how.
21:38:05 <s_gmusic> gunslinger and monk are out (have one of each).
21:38:36 <s_gmusic> DEX says Finesse or TWF, WIS says divine caster
21:38:45 <Steven> well a dex based warpriest will be pretty good
21:41:42 <s_gmusic> okay, good to hear.
21:41:57 <s_gmusic> now, what other options are there using the Undine's base stats?
21:44:08 <Steven> sorcerer
21:44:11 <Steven> oracles
21:44:33 <Steven> bards arent bad
21:46:30 <s_gmusic> how does WIS +2 help a sorcerer aside from saves?
21:46:52 <Steven> sorcs get the water affinity
21:47:05 <s_gmusic> ah, yeah.
21:47:22 <Steven> which is basically like getting +2 wisdom
21:48:03 <Steven> charisma even
21:48:03 <Avatar> the sargava book has quite a few golden nuggets in there
21:48:12 <s_gmusic> oh?
21:48:16 <Steven> if all of them were legal i'd agree with you.
21:48:18 <Avatar> surprisingly decent book for something you've never heard of
21:50:48 <Steven> well the thing i like is that very few people actually buy the book, but a lot of people take elephant stomp
21:51:13 <Steven> well the people at the shop that is.
21:51:17 <Steven> i dunno bout elsewhere.
21:51:21 <Steven> theres like 4 people who do.
21:53:09 <Avatar> elephant stomp isn't even one of the better ones
21:53:19 <Steven> finally have enough on my stealth character to get keen
21:53:24 <Steven> i like elephant stomp.
21:53:46 <Avatar> just about all the other feats on that page are better
21:54:31 <s_gmusic> dat Rhino Charge feat.
21:54:55 <s_gmusic> my Dwarven Monk 2/Fighter 7 would like that.
21:56:11 * ChanOP removes ban on *!*dickhard@*.131.0E621C.F67D1D
21:56:23 <s_gmusic> that and he already has Dragon Style. "I ready a charge if Generic Bad Guy gets near my buddy."
22:00:15 <Steven> hmmmm
22:00:37 <Steven> i can get keen on one of my weapons or wait till 9th level and just pick up improved critical
22:01:30 <Steven> over all it would save me 12k gold
22:01:36 <Steven> and only cost me a feat.
22:02:00 <s_gmusic> can you afford to burn a feat for it? or would your build benefit more from the feat?
22:02:23 <Steven> which i would get for 'free' if at 9th i take another level in lore warden.
22:04:19 <s_gmusic> what kind of build is it?
22:05:10 <Steven> crit passing to my shadow.
22:05:18 <Steven> so it can do 2d6 str damage
22:05:19 <s_gmusic> wut?
22:10:02 <Steven> i use a feat called butterfly sting that passes my crits off to others
22:11:03 <s_gmusic> but the "shadow" ??
22:11:11 <Steven> yeah
22:11:14 <Steven> its a shadow.
22:11:24 <Steven> it attacks for 1d6 str damage
22:13:56 <s_gmusic> how?

22:19:10 <Steven> shadow dancer
22:19:19 <Steven> at 3rd level you get a shadow
22:19:37 <s_gmusic> ah
22:21:27 <Steven> so thats what the character is going to do
22:21:52 <Steven> hands a scroll to the caster in the party of deeper darkness
22:22:20 <Steven> casts it on a kukri, i stealth over to a guy, draw my kukri attack
22:24:42 <Steven> they cant see, i do terrible terrible things to them/
22:28:26 <Steven> anyways.
22:28:56 <Steven> thats my quandary at the moment
22:29:01 <Steven> keen or imp crit at 9th
22:35:54 <s_gmusic> oh dear
22:36:01 <s_gmusic> oh dear oh dear oh dear
22:36:09 <s_gmusic> I think I discovered a dangerous thing.
22:36:13 <s_gmusic> a VERY dangerous thing.
22:37:22 <Steven> prolly not.
22:38:31 <s_gmusic> How to add watermarks to a pdf that looks exactly like Paizo's.
22:39:04 <Steven> i HIGHLY suggest you not do that.
22:39:21 <s_gmusic> see: Dangerous Thing
22:39:44 <s_gmusic> This is only between us, Steven! >_<
22:40:37 <Steven> that 'secret' has been out for quite a while.
22:41:49 <s_gmusic> not in my area, fortunately. that's the kind of thing that moves around fast for us. that's why the VC and VL don't tend to talk about boons and things.
22:43:17 <s_gmusic> 2 days after I found out I could order HeroLab for almost half price and stock it (they allow stores to sell cdroms with licenses attached through select distributors), I had a couple people approach and ask how much I was going to sell them for.
22:43:18 <s_gmusic> :|
22:59:12 <Steven> hmmmm 5 more skill points
23:10:37 <s_gmusic> computer's crying for a restart. be back shortly.
