00:00:52 Steven has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
00:01:02 <Brunius> Can we just make it clear that this is a game about pretending to be a knight in shining armour beating up dragons
00:01:27 <Leones> lol
00:03:46 <Leones> Bah, knights in shining armour. Goody goody brainless jocks the lot of 'em

01:05:31 <Steven> yo
01:11:17 <Steven> if i dont get a chance to play this alchemist till mid april there is another book for alchemists coming out.
02:15:02 <s_gmusic> oh?
02:16:22 <Steven> yeah, and it should be good
02:29:10 <s_gmusic> looks interesting.
02:29:51 <s_gmusic> also, I'm hoping this will lead to Ifrit, Undine, Oread, Sylph and Suli being opened up as legal, non-boon races: http://paizo.com/products/btpy93le?Pathfinder-Player-Companion-Blood-of-the-Elements
02:31:01 <Steven> dont hold the breath.
02:32:50 <s_gmusic> yeah. it'd be nice if they open them up, but I'm hoping more for the ability to use the book shortly after its release. would give me more reason to use my Undine and Ifrit boons.
02:35:18 <s_gmusic> part of me, though, still wants a Suli Monk.
02:35:52 <Steven> i hope they dont open them up.
02:36:05 <Steven> because that means they will have to find more boon races.
02:37:16 <s_gmusic> true...
02:37:17 <Steven> and there arent that many more races on golarion.
02:37:49 <s_gmusic> with all of the Iron Gods talk, maybe an Android race boon by the end of the year?
02:37:53 <Steven> i mean we cant go with the evil races like orc, drow, duergar and silvlkefjoweroiwejrsdfdfs
02:38:03 <s_gmusic> svirfneblin. :P
02:38:51 <Steven> I wouldnt be surprised if android was linked with a special at gencon/paizocon/tier1boon
02:43:12 <s_gmusic> that seems a bit much to get one if they make it. though, they do have immunities to fear, fatigue, exhaustion, sleep, and disease to go with a +4 vs mind-affecting, paralysis, poison, and stun, so I can see keeping them restricted.
02:43:59 <Steven> yes well it also draws people to those events
02:44:15 <Steven> and makes paizo a lot of money
02:44:17 <s_gmusic> yeah
02:44:28 <s_gmusic> maybe an auction boon like goblins
02:44:45 <Steven> i think brock said there wont be any more goblins.
02:45:20 Brunius|M has quit (Quit: Bye)
02:45:32 Brunius|M ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
02:46:00 <s_gmusic> yeah, but it was auctioned, right? saying they could do the same for Androids.
02:46:32 <Steven> no goblins were obtained by playing in race for the runecarved key
02:46:49 <Steven> and completing certain objectives
02:47:03 <Steven> there are less than 50 goblins in the world
02:48:30 <s_gmusic> really? then what is it that I remember them having an auction for? hm...
02:49:50 <Steven> there was an auction this last year for catfolk race, assassin prestige class, currently illegal gun archetypes(like spellslinger), aspis agent.
02:49:55 <Steven> and a couple more.
02:50:29 <s_gmusic> ah.
02:51:10 <s_gmusic> y'know... I think I heard of a way to get around the "no spellslinger" thing in society. something with multiclass gunslinger/magus.
02:52:50 <Steven> its a myrmidarch/gunslinger
02:53:03 <Steven> and its no where close to as powerful as a spellslinger
02:54:09 <s_gmusic> oh? all I know of spellslingers is that they get to cast their line, ray, and cone spells from their gun.
02:54:28 <Steven> yes and eventually they add the enhancement bonus from their gun to the DC of the spell.
02:56:44 <Steven> they can pretty much max int, and get a weapon that has a +5 bonus, and end up with DCs in the mid 30s by like 10th level.
02:57:10 <Steven> it is a really powerful archetype.
03:00:58 <s_gmusic> and there's no other way to get DC's like that otherwise?
03:08:22 <Steven> there are ways, its just easier for spellslingers
03:09:41 <s_gmusic> ah
03:11:15 <Steven> mostly because they can also do all the things other people can do and then also up their gun.
03:11:58 <s_gmusic> *more reading, more reading*
03:29:29 <Avatar> yo
03:31:23 <s_gmusic> hey
03:32:21 <Steven> sup dawg
03:59:11 <Steven> so what you guys doin?
04:03:31 <s_gmusic> reading some comics
04:04:26 <Steven> i really should start reading comics
04:04:43 <Steven> since i may be working at one soonish.
04:04:55 <Steven> but... i've never been into them.
04:06:57 <s_gmusic> should probably clarify that I'm reading manga, but I often refer to "anime" as cartoons, so doesn't really matter.
04:09:16 <Steven> im looking at things to build.
04:09:24 <Steven> maybe put a new build in my character theory folder
04:11:18 <Steven> maybe a cavalier
04:13:28 <s_gmusic> I'm wondering if there's silliness to be had using Called weapons.
04:14:55 <Steven> i suppose you could have a mule follow you around strapped to the nines with all manner of weaponry
04:15:50 <s_gmusic> heh
04:18:45 <s_gmusic> better: put all your weapons in a Handy Haversack or Bag of Holding
04:20:21 <s_gmusic> "What weapon are you using?" Currently, none. "But you're a fighter, right" Yeah. "Weird to have no swords." I didn't say that.
04:30:17 <Mekkis> Ulzef, Brunius: just reminder of WotW tomorrow. kapow_ has affirmed his attendance
04:31:33 <Mekkis> s_gmusic, got your level 20 character around?
04:36:02 <s_gmusic> somewhere not immediately at hand. what's up?
04:36:23 <Mekkis> I still have that quest for a party of one to four 20th level characters
04:36:33 <s_gmusic> heh
04:38:53 <Steven> i notice whenever i do high level play its just a nukefight.
04:39:14 <Leones> If a game gets going, mind if I watch?
04:39:31 <Steven> I dont think there is a game that is going to go today.
04:40:23 <Steven> tomorrow they are doing wotw, but its an AP and very little actually happens in the channel.
04:40:28 <s_gmusic> it's 03:35 for me. might watch a quick episode of anime before going to sleep
04:40:50 <Steven> most of it is through skype
04:42:35 <Leones> Ah, ok
04:42:52 <Steven> and avatar has been running mostly through roll20
04:42:59 <Steven> and i havent been running at all.
04:58:49 <Avatar> I will likely be moving back to CA
04:59:05 <Avatar> roll20 isn't what it's cracked up to be
04:59:16 <Avatar> players can move their own tokens and initiative gets rolled a bit faster, great
04:59:19 <Avatar> not much more to it
04:59:25 <Avatar> not worth the prep time
04:59:41 <Avatar> dynamic lighting maybe, if darkness applies
04:59:56 <Avatar> but I want to reduce players predicting where darkness will be a problem based on what VTT I'm using
05:00:08 <Avatar> when you play games in person, it's never an issue anyway
05:03:30 <Steven> +2 natural armor +4 con -2 cha.
05:04:35 <s_gmusic> are you consuming your mutagen in response to being hit (like making an AoO) like a Contengency or immediate action or are you doing it on your turn because "rawr don't hit me" ??
05:04:59 <Steven> no, the action economy isnt increased at all.
05:05:22 <Steven> its just a response trigger to getting attacked, its what my character is going to do.
05:06:09 <Brunius> or are you doing it on your turn because "rawr don't hit me" ??
05:06:13 <Brunius> that one
05:07:03 <s_gmusic> mmmmk. I didn't know if there were alchemist things that let him take a mute on an opponent's turn or not.
05:07:11 <s_gmusic> which is what it sounded like
05:07:37 <Steven> if there was, oh man... this character would be insane.
05:08:21 <s_gmusic> heh
05:13:34 <Steven> every mode of play has a different difficulty associated with it.
05:17:57 <Avatar> ??????
05:18:19 <Avatar> yeah it's fine
05:18:31 <Avatar> but I never got the feeling roll20 was "better"
05:18:52 <Avatar> I don't know how much players really value moving their own tokens
05:19:01 <Avatar> rather than having them read out a co-ordinate
05:19:18 <Steven> some people tend to be very possessive about their token and its movement.
05:19:46 <Avatar> I hadn't seen that before
05:19:53 <Avatar> or felt it as a player
05:20:02 <Steven> ive seen it before.
05:20:23 <Steven> I was at paizocon and someone freaked out when another person moved their token for them.
05:20:36 <Steven> it was super silly imo
05:20:46 <Steven> but hey whatever.
05:24:11 <Proquar> thesunnyk are you going tomorrow?
05:24:25 <Avatar> where are we going
05:26:53 <Proquar> hey avatar
05:27:00 <Avatar> hey proquar
05:27:03 <Proquar> oh dear... is my face red? (wrong screen)
05:27:05 <Avatar> where are we off to tomorrow
05:27:09 <Proquar> the pub?
05:27:14 <Avatar> OK
05:27:21 <Proquar> at circular quay
05:27:31 <Avatar> cool
05:27:33 <Avatar> see you there
05:27:45 <Proquar> are you in sydney?
05:27:57 <Avatar> no I am in melbourne
05:28:05 <Avatar> bit of a trip
05:28:15 <Proquar> but you'll come to sydney for a pubcrawl? COOL
05:28:26 <Avatar> you'll make it worth my while no doubt
05:28:27 <Proquar> I'll bring dice!
05:30:01 <Steven> oh you silly kids and your drinking
05:41:40 <Steven> i wish i was playing skull and shackles.
05:48:02 <Steven> i wanna play another pirate
05:49:56 <Brunius> I kinda wanna play more MtG
05:49:59 Brunius|M has quit (Quit: Bye)
05:50:03 <Brunius> when's the next prerelease
05:50:09 Brunius|M ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
05:51:23 <Brunius> Nyx
05:51:25 <Brunius> May 2nd
05:51:41 <Steven> sounds bout right.
05:51:56 <Steven> they come out with a new set every 3 months
05:52:07 <Brunius> i know that much
05:52:13 <Brunius> I barely ever play
05:52:20 <Steven> 1 core and 3 sets of a block.
05:52:22 <s_gmusic> so... just seen the boon for doing Destiny of the Sands part 3. it's less than what I expected. not sure how to feel about it. :\
05:52:43 <Avatar> trilogy boons are never fantastic
05:52:49 <Steven> i wonder where they will go for the next block.
05:54:31 <s_gmusic> well considering that in season 4 we had things that were like a +2 stat, or free feat, or some of the season 5 "open access to spells for all your characters on an account" boons, I really didn't expect a "Use me once and then cross me off" boon.
05:57:10 <s_gmusic> no clue. haven't heard anything from my end. my distributors don't even have m15 or conspiracy information yet. :\
05:57:52 <Steven> trying to pick spells for my alchemist.
05:58:14 Brunius|M- ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
05:58:48 <Steven> need four more first level spells
05:58:55 <Steven> i dont really like any of them.

06:04:05 <Steven> i dunno... in the right circumstances it could be rediculous
06:04:14 <Steven> like say you're a barbarian
06:04:23 <Steven> who just got passed a crit
06:04:30 <Steven> from somebody doing butterfly sting
06:04:40 <Steven> you can activate it for power attack
06:04:46 <s_gmusic> ......
06:04:48 <s_gmusic> LOLOLOL
06:07:14 <Steven> at like level 9 thats.... +18 damage on the hit before you multiply it for the crit.
06:07:25 <Steven> sorry level 8
06:07:51 <Steven> with a two handed weapon, so +36 damage at minimum.
06:08:11 <Steven> just boom you're dead
06:26:05 Brunius|M ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
06:46:55 <Mekkis> Brunius, at least you have sane drafts in your area
06:47:18 <Brunius|M> Is that in games lab
06:51:04 <Mekkis> sure
06:51:30 <Mekkis> where they don't think "redraft rares" is a good thing
06:52:58 <Brunius|M> The issue is that games lab is an hour and a half away
06:53:25 <Brunius|M> So not too great for FNM, for example
08:00:24 <skypse> hello
08:00:34 <skypse> can I speak with someone in charge in private please?
08:00:41 <skypse> i need some information about the online sessions

09:55:15 <Leones> So, hello everyone. Sorry to be lurky but I have no idea what I'm doing. (In life generally, but specifically, with d20 gaming)
10:38:13 Andros414 ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
10:38:26 Andros414 is now known as s_gmusic|Work
10:38:58 <s_gmusic|Work> and thus begins another night of Wrath of the Righteous
12:58:10 Yiroep ([email protected]) has left #d&d
13:13:43 <Brunius|M> Leones: how much experience do you have? There's a nice getting started guide on the site, or you can just talk in Herr
13:13:45 <Brunius|M> Here even
13:16:24 <Leones> No experience playing table top, I'm familiar with most of the terms from 20+ years gaming (and Order of The Stick). Always wanted to try D&D, just could never find other players
13:23:58 <Brunius|M> Whereabouts are you from? Most players here are from Australia, although we have a couple from the US. Nobody from Europe, for some reason.
13:24:31 <Leones> England
13:24:52 <Brunius|M> Ooooh
13:25:06 <Leones> *Monarchy high five*?
13:25:13 <Brunius|M> Our game times might end up being a problem
13:25:23 <Brunius|M> How are you for late nights?
13:26:41 <Leones> It's now 3:30 am and I'm making a coffee.
13:26:46 <Leones> Soooo....good? lol
13:26:52 <Brunius|M> Heh
13:27:40 <Leones> At the moment I tend to sleep during the day, I worked nights for so long it's just difficult to get out of (not that I mind, I hate my housemates)
13:36:06 Brunius|M- ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
13:37:52 <Brunius> Typically games will start about 11am local
13:37:58 <Brunius> sometimes as early as 9am or 1pm
13:38:07 <Brunius> So we're looking at 10pm-2am your time
13:38:41 Brunius|M has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
13:40:53 <Leones> Do you reroll characters for each game or carry them over?
13:41:39 <Brunius> Depends on the game
13:41:46 <Brunius> Current there are three 'active' campaigns
13:41:59 <Brunius> Pathfinder Society, Serpent's Skull, and Way of the Wicked
13:42:12 <Brunius> I think the latter two aren't accepting players, so I'll deal with them later
13:42:36 <Brunius> Pathfinder Society is a living campaign, so you have a character that carries over between distinct play sessions, referred to as scenarios
13:43:10 <Brunius> Same character, many GMs
13:43:33 <Brunius> SS and WotW are more traditional tabletop campaigns, in that they're run by a single GM, with a single character
13:43:42 <Brunius> Characters aren't transferable between the three campaigns
13:45:30 <Leones> Ok, I just google-fu'd Pathfinder Society
13:49:17 <Leones> Ok, so Pathfinder Society is core Pathfinder but... organised?
13:49:29 <Brunius> Yup
13:53:17 <Leones> ...I'm watching people play Pathfinder on youtube, I think I've crossed a line
13:54:50 <Brunius> hmm?
13:55:48 <Leones> Like, I've not gone too... "nerd"...
13:57:08 <Brunius> Can we just make it clear that this is a game about pretending to be a knight in shining armour beating up dragons
13:57:32 <Leones> lol
13:59:52 <Leones> Bah, knights in shining armour. Goody goody brainless jocks the lot of 'em

16:40:05 <Steven> yes well it also draws people to those events
16:40:21 <Steven> and makes paizo a lot of money
16:40:22 <s_gmusic> yeah
16:40:33 <s_gmusic> maybe an auction boon like goblins

18:11:56 <s_gmusic> heh
18:14:51 <s_gmusic> better: put all your weapons in a Handy Haversack or Bag of Holding
18:16:27 <s_gmusic> "What weapon are you using?" Currently, none. "But you're a fighter, right" Yeah. "Weird to have no swords." I didn't say that.
18:26:22 <Mekkis> Ulzef, Brunius: just reminder of WotW tomorrow. kapow_ has affirmed his attendance
18:27:38 <Mekkis> s_gmusic, got your level 20 character around?
18:32:07 <s_gmusic> somewhere not immediately at hand. what's up?
18:32:16 Blumiere ([email protected]) has left #d&d
18:32:28 <Mekkis> I still have that quest for a party of one to four 20th level characters
18:32:38 <s_gmusic> heh
18:34:59 <Steven> i notice whenever i do high level play its just a nukefight.
18:35:19 <Leones> If a game gets going, mind if I watch?
18:35:37 <Steven> I dont think there is a game that is going to go today.
18:36:28 <Steven> tomorrow they are doing wotw, but its an AP and very little actually happens in the channel.
18:36:33 <s_gmusic> it's 03:35 for me. might watch a quick episode of anime before going to sleep
18:36:56 <Steven> most of it is through skype
18:38:40 <Leones> Ah, ok
18:38:57 <Steven> and avatar has been running mostly through roll20
18:39:05 <Steven> and i havent been running at all.
18:54:54 <Avatar> I will likely be moving back to CA
18:55:10 <Avatar> roll20 isn't what it's cracked up to be
18:55:21 <Avatar> players can move their own tokens and initiative gets rolled a bit faster, great
18:55:24 <Avatar> not much more to it
18:55:30 <Avatar> not worth the prep time
18:55:46 <Avatar> dynamic lighting maybe, if darkness applies
18:56:01 <Avatar> but I want to reduce players predicting where darkness will be a problem based on what VTT I'm using
18:56:13 <Avatar> when you play games in person, it's never an issue anyway
19:09:39 <Steven> every mode of play has a different difficulty associated with it.
19:14:02 <Avatar> ??????
19:14:24 <Avatar> yeah it's fine
19:14:36 <Avatar> but I never got the feeling roll20 was "better"
19:14:57 <Avatar> I don't know how much players really value moving their own tokens
19:15:06 <Avatar> rather than having them read out a co-ordinate
19:15:24 <Steven> some people tend to be very possessive about their token and its movement.
19:15:51 <Avatar> I hadn't seen that before
19:15:58 <Avatar> or felt it as a player
19:16:07 <Steven> ive seen it before.
19:16:28 <Steven> I was at paizocon and someone freaked out when another person moved their token for them.
19:16:41 <Steven> it was super silly imo
19:16:51 <Steven> but hey whatever.

19:44:09 Gamera ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
19:48:27 <s_gmusic> so... just seen the boon for doing Destiny of the Sands part 3. it's less than what I expected. not sure how to feel about it. :\
19:48:48 <Avatar> trilogy boons are never fantastic
19:50:36 <s_gmusic> well considering that in season 4 we had things that were like a +2 stat, or free feat, or some of the season 5 "open access to spells for all your characters on an account" boons, I really didn't expect a "Use me once and then cross me off" boon.
19:59:09 <Leones> So, hello everyone. Sorry to be lurky but I have no idea what I'm doing. (In life generally, but specifically, with d20 gaming)
20:07:55 <Mekkis> pretty sure Avatar doesn't drink

20:41:01 <s_gmusic> that moment when you remember having an excellent image for a cellphone wallpaper, but can't remember where it's saved. :\

23:17:37 <Brunius|M> Leones: how much experience do you have? There's a nice getting started guide on the site, or you can just talk in Herr
23:17:40 <Brunius|M> Here even
23:20:18 <Leones> No experience playing table top, I'm familiar with most of the terms from 20+ years gaming (and Order of The Stick). Always wanted to try D&D, just could never find other players
23:27:53 <Brunius|M> Whereabouts are you from? Most players here are from Australia, although we have a couple from the US. Nobody from Europe, for some reason.
23:28:25 <Leones> England
23:28:46 <Brunius|M> Ooooh
23:29:01 <Leones> *Monarchy high five*?
23:29:07 <Brunius|M> Our game times might end up being a problem
23:29:17 <Brunius|M> How are you for late nights?
23:30:36 <Leones> It's now 3:30 am and I'm making a coffee.
23:30:40 <Leones> Soooo....good? lol
23:30:46 <Brunius|M> Heh
23:31:35 <Leones> At the moment I tend to sleep during the day, I worked nights for so long it's just difficult to get out of (not that I mind, I hate my housemates)
23:32:16 Gamera has quit (Quit: )
23:41:46 <Brunius> Typically games will start about 11am local
23:41:53 <Brunius> sometimes as early as 9am or 1pm
23:42:01 <Brunius> So we're looking at 10pm-2am your time
23:44:47 <Leones> Do you reroll characters for each game or carry them over?
23:45:33 <Brunius> Depends on the game
23:45:41 <Brunius> Current there are three 'active' campaigns
23:45:53 <Brunius> Pathfinder Society, Serpent's Skull, and Way of the Wicked
23:46:06 <Brunius> I think the latter two aren't accepting players, so I'll deal with them later
23:46:31 <Brunius> Pathfinder Society is a living campaign, so you have a character that carries over between distinct play sessions, referred to as scenarios
23:47:05 <Brunius> Same character, many GMs
23:47:27 <Brunius> SS and WotW are more traditional tabletop campaigns, in that they're run by a single GM, with a single character
23:47:36 <Brunius> Characters aren't transferable between the three campaigns
23:49:25 <Leones> Ok, I just google-fu'd Pathfinder Society
23:53:11 <Leones> Ok, so Pathfinder Society is core Pathfinder but... organised?
23:53:24 <Brunius> Yup
23:57:12 <Leones> ...I'm watching people play Pathfinder on youtube, I think I've crossed a line
23:58:44 <Brunius> hmm?
23:59:42 <Leones> Like, I've not gone too... "nerd"...
