08:47:28 <Mekkis> can anyone confirm whether five star GMs receive all the scenarios for free?
08:49:11 <Yiroep> What for?
08:49:24 <Yiroep> For the record, I actually don't know.
08:49:32 <Yiroep> Although my inclination is "no."
08:49:49 <Yiroep> Mostly because I've never heard of such a thing before.
08:52:08 <Mekkis> my local VL has been making those claims.
08:52:30 <Yiroep> Hrm, interesting. I know VLs get it for a fact.
08:52:46 <Yiroep> I guess it wouldn't be too surprising that 5*s would.
08:52:47 <Mekkis> yes.
08:53:38 <Mekkis> here's a question: when you are GMing, who can control which dice you use
08:54:00 <Yiroep> ...Huh?
08:54:07 <Yiroep> That's a thing?
08:55:06 <Mekkis> I was shocked and surprised when I got repremanded for using a certain set of dice when GMing last night by the event 'organiser'
08:55:55 <Mekkis> who wasn't on the table.
08:56:11 <Yiroep> I've never had such a thing happen before.
08:56:37 <Yiroep> As well, there's nothing that says anything about that. Of course, loaded dice are one thing, but a certain type of brand of die shouldn't be a problem.
08:56:46 <Yiroep> Sounds really fishy to me.
08:57:30 <Mekkis> I mean, yes, some people have issues reading the dice, and if the GM has a problem, I won't use them
08:58:15 <Mekkis> but for someone who is not on the table telling me not to use dice I own when I'm GMing?
08:58:17 <Mekkis> Wtf
08:58:36 <Yiroep> Yeah, again, pretty fishy.
08:58:54 <Yiroep> I have dice that are very easy to read so that I'm not blamed for their misfortune, but that's personal preference. :p
08:59:13 <Yiroep> Like when the party was against skeletal archers and I rolled 3 crits in the first 2 rounds...
08:59:18 <Yiroep> They say every roll, lol.
08:59:20 <Yiroep> saw*
08:59:43 <Mekkis> I roll in the open,
08:59:48 <Yiroep> But if you can't trust the GM, I don't see a point to playing. The GM could just make up modifiers and crap anyway.
09:00:30 <Mekkis> the GM can roll behind a screen.
09:01:35 <Avatar> they know you're not to be trusted
09:02:06 <Mekkis> was interesting: the elf barbarian was walking through a sewer, and was shot in the mouth by a crossbow bolt for 10 damage (1d4+1d6 damage, rolled maximum)
09:02:38 <Yiroep> Elf barbarian *winces*
09:02:54 <Yiroep> Anyway, continue.
09:03:30 <Mekkis> the jinkin won initiative and shot him in the left eye.
09:03:38 <Mekkis> (crit)
09:04:15 <Mekkis> the players hated Jinkins by the end of it all
09:06:32 <Yiroep> Sometimes it happens that way.
09:07:46 <Yiroep> I had a party of level 1's facing dire rats in a warehouse (if you get the scenario), and the combat lasted 6-7 rounds because no one was hitting them and they kept chomping and chomping. The final battle, which is way harder, was easier for them.

13:42:47 <s_gmusic> Additional Resources updated today.
13:43:25 <s_gmusic> legalized things from Mummy's Mask and Champions of Balance, but that's it.
13:43:28 <s_gmusic> :(
13:53:35 <Avatar> sounds generous to me
13:54:24 <s_gmusic> I was hoping to see a something from Wrath come in. Just cause Wrath is mythic-heavy doesn't mean they had to allow that part.

18:41:16 <s_gmusic> Investigator + Monk, maybe?
20:29:03 <s_gmusic> !spell Bless Weapon
20:29:10 <diebot> s_gmusic, BLESS WEAPON transmutation ([]) paladin 1 1 standard action Range: touch weapon touched Comp: V, S Duration: 1 min./level Save: none SR:noSource: PFRPG Core
20:29:11 <s_gmusic> did it wrong again. :|
20:29:11 <diebot> This transmutation makes a weapon strike true against evil foes. The weapon is treated as having a +1 enhancement bonus for the purpose of bypassing the DR of evil creatures or striking evil incorporeal creatures (though the spell doesn't grant an actual enhancement bonus). The weapon also becomes good-aligned, which means it can bypass the DR of
20:29:11 <diebot> certain creatures. (This effect overrides and suppresses any other alignment the weapon might have.) Individual arrows or bolts can be transmuted, but affected projectile weapons (such as bows) don't confer the benefit to the projectiles they shoot. In addition, all critical hit rolls against evil foes are automatically successful, so every threat
20:29:11 <diebot> is a critical hit. This last effect does not apply to any weapon that already has a magical effect related to critical hits, such as a keen weapon or a vorpal sword.
20:29:21 <s_gmusic> woot! I did it!
20:30:19 <diebot> Congratulations, s_gmusic
20:32:51 <Mekkis> Brunius, you around?
20:34:55 <s_gmusic> o-o
20:35:07 <s_gmusic> diebot.... it knows my name
20:35:09 <s_gmusic> ._.
20:35:46 <Mekkis> well of course
20:37:34 <s_gmusic> *sigh* nerves are up, can't sleep, trying to think pathfinder to calm down.
20:37:51 <s_gmusic> mekkis, any thoughts on a dex-based paladin? instead of stacking STR and big armor?
20:38:17 <Mekkis> s_gmusic, try a Sacred Servant.
20:38:37 <s_gmusic> what book?
20:38:51 <Mekkis> APG¿?
20:40:51 <s_gmusic> looks rather caster-y
20:41:23 <Mekkis> s_gmusic, consider an archery-based paladin, and use &saddle surge
20:43:50 <s_gmusic> well that's interesting... would have to be a small race, though. never played one before.
20:43:59 <Mekkis> !spell saddle surge
20:44:01 <diebot> Mekkis, SADDLE SURGE transmutation ([]) paladin 2 1 standard action Range: personal you and your mount Comp: V, S, DF Duration: 1 round/level (D); see text Save: SR:Source: APG
20:44:02 <diebot> You and your mount form a perfect synergy that endows both of you with advantages based upon how far you travel each round. For every 5 feet your mount moves in a given round, you gain a +1 competence bonus on Ride checks and both you and your mount gain a +1 morale bonus on damage rolls made with weapons or natural attacks for 1 round. For
20:44:02 <diebot> instance, if your mount traveled 40 feet in a round, you would gain a +8 bonus on Ride checks and you and your mount would both gain a +8 bonus on damage rolls for 1 round, to a maximum bonus equal to your caster level. You must be mounted to enjoy the benefits of this spell. If you dismount, get knocked off, or take any other action that separates
20:44:02 <diebot> you from your mount, the spell immediately ends.
20:51:32 <s_gmusic> hm... a 1 level dip into wizard (Counterspell-focused school) on a monk. that Disruption ability. >.<
20:51:44 <Mekkis> hmm
20:52:18 <s_gmusic> it would only last 1 round, though, but a monk could get in and smack the caster real fast
21:07:07 <s_gmusic> few friends and I came up with a Dragonball Z joke in pathfinder: Have Monks wear an Armored Coat. sure, you lose a few things to do so, but when you need the boost, you can drop the coat as a move action and have all your abilities to run around killing with.
21:07:21 <Mekkis> I was shocked at one thing that happened last night
21:07:41 <s_gmusic> oh?
21:08:14 <s_gmusic> (that joke only works at lower levels, btw, because it doesn't hurt as much as it would at mid- to high-levels)
21:08:35 <Mekkis> After the game I was running, the event coordinator gave me a stern talking to for the dice I was using, while GMing.
21:08:44 <s_gmusic> wut
21:08:47 <Mekkis> The event coordinator was not on my table.
21:10:20 <Brunius> did they cut up the table
21:10:39 <Mekkis> nope. I spoke to the store owner about it, and he had no problem
21:11:01 <s_gmusic> that makes no sense. did someone say the dice were loaded or something?
21:11:21 <Mekkis> nope. People have complained about the readability of them, and I don't use them if the GM has issues with it.
21:11:55 <s_gmusic> :|
21:11:58 <Mekkis> but for an event coordinator to say that I can't roll my dice when the event coordinator isn't even at my table is pretty rich.
21:12:15 <Brunius> did he go "we've had complaints" or "don't do it"
21:12:51 <Mekkis> the event coordinator said that I was told before the event that I shouldn't use those dice, or words to that effect.
21:13:19 <Avatar> was it a public game
21:13:23 <Mekkis> it was.
21:13:35 <Avatar> I'd have to let synthesists play at my table if it was a public game
21:13:50 <Mekkis> nope. They're not legal.
21:13:53 <s_gmusic> thought synthesist was band?
21:13:54 <Avatar> it's kind of their rules
21:14:01 <Avatar> no, a year or so ago
21:14:03 <Brunius> you mean summoners?
21:14:04 <Avatar> when they weren't banned
21:14:09 <Brunius> or
21:14:09 <Mekkis> But regardless, even if it is a public game, you can refuse to run.
21:14:10 <Brunius> oh
21:14:18 <Avatar> so can you
21:14:27 <Avatar> but if you do run, it's their rules
21:14:36 <Mekkis> it's the PFS rules
21:15:57 <s_gmusic> is there a rule that states GMs must roll out in the open?
21:16:04 <Mekkis> nope
21:16:23 <Mekkis> The event coordinator in question always uses a screen.
21:16:32 <Mekkis> I sure can't read the dice when they're rolled behind a screen.
21:16:34 <s_gmusic> so if not, and you roll behind a screen, who cares if someone else can't read them as long as you can?
21:17:01 <Mekkis> As a GM, there's exactly one person who needs to be able to read the dice. You.
21:17:07 <s_gmusic> yup
21:17:12 <Mekkis> Not the event coordinator running another game.
21:17:40 <Avatar> ask him what the issue actually is
21:17:45 <Avatar> if he uses a screen, that's a bit strange
21:17:48 <Mekkis> I did.
21:17:53 <Avatar> what'd he say
21:18:09 <Mekkis> there was no real explanation,
21:18:34 <Avatar> okay, what did he actually say
21:19:01 <Mekkis> I told you not to use those dice, and I saw that you were using them, or words to that effect.
21:19:15 <Brunius> how dare you disobey me
21:19:18 <Brunius> I am top dog here
21:19:26 <Brunius> you WILL do as I say
21:20:00 <Mekkis> The event coordinator said that the VC would be notified, and if I did it again, the VC would give me an Official Reprimand.
21:20:09 <Brunius> Oooooooohhhh
21:20:12 <Brunius> Scaaaary
21:20:15 <Mekkis> I hope it's in writing.
21:20:19 <Brunius> Are they gonna ban you from GMing?
21:20:26 <s_gmusic> please, please, PLEASE tell us later that the VC tells the guy off
21:20:27 <Mekkis> It would look awesome framed!
21:20:33 <Brunius> heh
21:20:36 <Mekkis> s_gmusic, unlikely.
21:20:58 <Mekkis> Meh. Screw minimisation.
21:21:07 <Mekkis> The event coordinator is the VC's wife.
21:21:29 <Brunius> I'm tempted to buy a booster box of the EVE CCG
21:21:32 <s_gmusic> : |
21:21:35 <Mekkis> Don't do it, Brunius
21:21:41 <Brunius> Why
21:21:44 <Brunius> It sounds fun!
21:21:51 <Brunius> I build starbases and things!
21:22:22 <Mekkis> diversifying your TCG commitment is never a good thing.
21:22:41 <Mekkis> so, I think that I'm obligate to post on the forums regarding this
21:22:52 <Brunius> uh oh
21:24:13 <s_gmusic> brunius, what tcgs do you already play?
21:24:21 <Brunius> MTG, in theory
21:24:24 <Brunius> I haven't played it aaages
21:24:33 <Brunius> the Theros block doesn't interest me
21:25:08 <Brunius> I liked the second Mirrodin block and the recent gothic themed one whose name has slipped my mind
21:25:23 <s_gmusic> Innistrad, Dark Ascension, Avacyn Restored
21:26:04 <Brunius> Yeah, the Innistrad block
21:26:12 <s_gmusic> anywho, if you only play one game (and currently taking a break from it), may not hurt to check another one out, provided you can afford it and it's not a dead game.
21:26:25 <Brunius> the EVE CCG is all kinds of dead
21:26:54 <s_gmusic> :\
22:09:05 <Mekkis> s_gmusic, Agreed. But better to spend the money on a board game rather than a TCG
22:09:34 <s_gmusic> yeah... and then there's video games.
22:11:14 <s_gmusic> why don't I see more use of the Godless Healing feat? 1/day when at less than half hp, you heal yourself for 1d8 + HD as a move action. you can take it more than once to increase the number of uses per day. seems like a decent emergency button if you can spare a feat or two.
22:11:53 <Mekkis> spend a feat to get the equivalent of a potion of cure mod?
22:12:20 <s_gmusic> true...
22:14:51 <Mekkis> if it's immediate action....
22:21:44 <Mekkis> also: is it legal?
22:22:04 <s_gmusic> not sure, just been flipping through the inner sea world guide
22:22:28 <s_gmusic> Feats: all feats on pages 284–289 except Eye of the Arclord, Fortune Teller, Hamatulatsu, Harrowed, and Shade of the Uskwood. For the Cypher Magic feat, replace the Scribe Scroll prerequisite with Spell Focus
22:22:32 <s_gmusic> so, yes.

23:06:22 <Mekkis> sure, but why would a worshipper of any of the Horsemen join the Society?
23:06:28 <Mekkis> most are pretty antisocial
23:09:49 <s_gmusic> to kill and take shinies, of course.
23:10:36 <Mekkis> no horsemen represent that
23:11:17 <s_gmusic> there's one about killing. :P
23:11:44 <Mekkis> which one?
23:12:34 <s_gmusic> Charon, horseman of Death, or Szuriel horseman of war.
23:13:02 <s_gmusic> but even the other two horsemen (pestilence and famine) kill through disease and starvation.
