47:52 <s_gmusic> lol. someone starts petition thread to remove the Inventory Tracking Sheet (or at least make it non-mandatory). All the posts are about how great and convenient it is.
53:14 <Yiroep> What is your opinion?
53:43 <Yiroep> I personally was not wild about it when it came out. Now I'm quite neutral towards the idea; it could go or not and I wouldn't really care either way.
55:55 <s_gmusic> I like the idea, just not the "it's mandatory" part of using it. Fortunately, you can come up with your own custom version of the sheet and it's fine to use.
00:10 <Yiroep> So you're cool with it the way it is, basically.
00:44 <Yiroep> I think it's nice that John has more room on the chronicle sheets to put cool stuff. It makes the chronicle sheets more worthwhile.
02:07 <Yiroep> I actually still write my stuff on the chronicle sheets so I have a record of when I bought stuff if I'm only looking at those sheets.
02:18 <Yiroep> Makes it easier to think "Where did that money go?"
47:31 <s_gmusic> so... kind of really strongly hoping that both Inner Sea Gods and Inner Sea Combat will be first-day legal for Society. Unlikely, sure, but the hope's still there.
02:28 Yiroep ([email protected]) has left #d&d
08:59 <Mekkis> I feel that either there's too much bureaucracy in the Society, or that my VL/VCs are douches.
16:33 <Avatar> just need to play with groups you're comfortable with
43:51 <Steven> well my dad's wife's mom is probably going to die today.  totes sucks.

59:00 <s_gmusic> yo
00:37 <s_gmusic> steven, have you played 4-16 Fabric of Reality?
14:29 <Steven> yp
16:31 <s_gmusic> played it tonight with my fighter 7/monk 2 at 8-9 tier. tore through it, much to the GM's dismay. got my guy his 3rd xp, so I get to level him now. :|
16:45 <s_gmusic> I don't know which way to go: another monk level, or keep stacking fighter.
17:25 <Steven> do whatever gives you the most power?
19:13 <s_gmusic> probably.
19:27 <s_gmusic> the monk levels are the "Monk of the Sacred Mountain" archetype.
19:34 Caern ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
19:39 <s_gmusic> fighter levels are straight fighter. :\
20:07 <Steven> this means nothing to me because your build could be anything.
21:30 <Avatar> :o)
21:50 <Steven> so monk would gain you +10 movement speed, +1CMB, and +2 vs enchantment saving throws.
21:51 <Mekkis> wow. Very fast service.
22:28 <Avatar> mekkis' daily out of context comment
22:46 <Steven> if you're wearing armor you would nix the fast movement.
23:13 <Steven> fighter gets you a bonus feat.
23:17 <Avatar> is this a second level character s_gmusic?
23:32 <Steven> no its a fighter 7/monk2
23:40 <Avatar> icic
23:45 <Steven> I know which way i would go.
25:48 <Steven> course i probably would have built a brawler.
25:56 <Steven> meh
26:14 <s_gmusic> this character was made pre-playtest
26:27 <Steven> i meant brawler archetype
27:13 <Steven> At 3rd level, a brawler gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls and a +3 bonus on damage rolls with weapons in the close weapon group. Both of these bonuses increase by +1 for every four levels beyond 3rd (to a maximum of +5 on attack rolls and +7 on damage rolls at 19th level). 
27:21 <Steven> so insanely op.
27:46 <Steven> you'd be getting +2 attack +4 damage on your unarmed strike.
27:55 <Steven> pretty sexy stuff.
29:42 <Steven> anyway.
29:46 <Steven> what up guys.

33:00 <Gautama> d[O.o]b
34:21 <Steven> sup
35:29 <Gautama> Hello World of Pathfinders
35:52 <Avatar> aloha
36:12 <Steven> im waiting for him to bust out with some kind of yo party fucker
36:46 <Gautama> Just think of me as the creepy guy in the corner for now
37:02 <Steven> he's a creeper avatar!
37:04 <Avatar> no you are out now
37:17 <Steven> yeah you said stuff... cant go back now.
37:19 <Avatar> you can't announce hello world of pathfinders and then pretend you're slinking in the corner
37:28 <Avatar> that doesn't make any sense
37:32 <Steven> always forward!  Never back!
37:39 <Avatar> never give up, never surrender
37:59 <Steven> 'inspirational line!'
38:20 <Steven> so what up fish.
38:48 <Gautama> Sideways is often an effective direction
39:18 <Gautama> Pivoting can prove quite advantageous as well
39:55 * Gautama nods his head confidently
40:25 <Steven> he sounds like a 5 ft stepper....
41:14 <Steven> i'm trying to decide what to have for dinner.
41:58 <Gautama> Pork loin and rice.
42:25 <Gautama> wrapped in bacon..
42:36 <Gautama> maple bacon
42:44 <Steven> i like this guy... 10 lines into being here and they have mentioned bacon.
43:02 <Steven> oh they ruined it... maple bacon is an atrocity against all that is decent.
43:14 <Gautama> at midnight, with the narwhals
44:03 <Steven> for shame sir... for shame.
45:09 <Steven> maybe like... sausage and bowtie Florentine 
45:56 <Steven> i think i have everything i need except the alfredo sauce...
46:00 <Gautama> hrm, chipotle
46:02 <Steven> suppose i could make it.
46:45 <Gautama> Microwave burrito
47:27 <Steven> wonder where avatar went... he usually likes talking to new people.
47:35 <Brunius> He hasn't as much recently
48:14 <Gautama> 1100000010101000000000010000000111111111111111111111111100000000
48:55 <Gautama> I should have at least put decimals in
49:19 <Steven> ah balls. i dont have any gruyere
49:23 <Steven> well there goes that plan.
49:43 <Steven> think imma have to go to the store after all.
50:01 <Gautama> Ice Cream
51:03 <Gautama> So who wants to walk me through what IRC gameplay is like?
51:39 <Avatar> there is nothing to walk through really
51:44 <Avatar> !roll 1d20
51:45 <dicebot> Avatar, 1d20: [1d20=11] 11
51:46 <Avatar> for dice
51:53 <Avatar> ?shaken
51:53 <diebot> Avatar, A shaken character takes a 2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. Shaken is a less severe state of fear than frightened or panicked.
51:58 <Avatar> !spell magic missile
52:01 <diebot> Avatar, MAGIC MISSILE evocation ([force]) sorcerer/wizard 1, magus 1 1 standard action Range: medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) up to five creatures, no two of which can be more than 15 ft. apart Comp: V, S Duration: instantaneous Save: none SR:yesSource: PFRPG Core
52:02 <diebot> A missile of magical energy darts forth from your fingertip and strikes its target, dealing 1d4+1 points of force damage. The missile strikes unerringly, even if the target is in melee combat, so long as it has less than total cover or total concealment. Specific parts of a creature can't be singled out. Objects are not damaged by the spell. For
52:02 <diebot> every two caster levels beyond 1st, you gain an additional missile-two at 3rd level, three at 5th, four at 7th, and the maximum of five missiles at 9th level or higher. If you shoot multiple missiles, you can have them strike a single creature or several creatures. A single missile can strike only one creature. You must designate targets before you
52:02 <diebot> check for spell resistance or roll damage.
52:08 <Avatar> !feat toughness
52:09 <diebot> Avatar, TOUGHNESS [] You have enhanced physical stamina.
52:10 <diebot> Benefit:  You gain +3 hit points. For every Hit Die you possess beyond 3, you gain an additional +1 hit point. If you have more than 3 Hit Dice, you gain +1 hit points whenever you gain a Hit Die (such as when you gain a level). Source: Core
52:22 <Avatar> the rest is skype and mapping
54:05 <Gautama> Yes, what is this Combat Assistant program?
54:23 <Gautama> I don't know what server to connect to so I can mess with it
54:52 <Gautama> Oh, nevermind
58:38 <Steven> methinks its time to go to the store.
59:22 <s_gmusic> whiskey!
00:20 <Steven> after 2am, stores wont sell it now
00:33 <s_gmusic> same thing here. T_T
00:55 <Gautama> ditto
01:08 <Gautama> well, midnight here
01:33 <s_gmusic> 4am :\
02:13 <Gautama> No, I meant that stores stop selling at midnight here
02:44 <s_gmusic> I don't know what time for me, but it is 4am, so they'd be closed anyway. :P
10:11 <Mekkis> s_gmusic, played bonekeep yet?
10:29 <s_gmusic> played part 1. managed to do 3 encounters
10:57 <s_gmusic> we didn't have a proper healer, just an off-healer, so it made things more difficult than it should've been.
11:34 <s_gmusic> can you vital strike while raging?
13:13 <Mekkis> I think so
13:32 <Mekkis> !feat vital strike
13:33 <diebot> Mekkis, VITAL STRIKE [Combat]Prereq:  Base attack bonus +6.  You make a single attack that deals significantly more damage than normal.
13:33 <diebot> Benefit:  When you use the attack action, you can make one attack at your highest base attack bonus that deals additional damage. Roll the weapon's damage dice for the attack twice and add the results together before adding bonuses from Strength, weapon abilities (such as flaming), precision based damage, and other damage bonuses. These extra
13:34 <diebot> weapon damage dice are not multiplied on a critical hit, but are added to the total. Source: Core
14:07 <s_gmusic> yeah... it's the "use the attack action" vs "make a melee attack" thing that got me.
14:28 <Mekkis> meh. Can't be used with fullattack
15:04 <Steven> yes you can use vital strike while raging.
15:37 <s_gmusic> ... heh heh heh heh...
16:52 <Steven> there is a feat for rage based on it called furious finish
16:59 <Steven> !feat furious finish
16:59 <diebot> Steven, FURIOUS FINISH [] You channel all of your rage into one massive blow to crush your enemy. Prerequisites: Rage class feature, Vital Strike, base attack bonus +6. Benefit: While raging, when you use the Vital Strike feat, you can choose not to roll your damage dice and instead deal damage equal to the maximum roll possible on those damage
16:59 <diebot> dice. If you do, your rage immediately ends, and you are fatigued (even if you would not normally be). 
17:00 <diebot> Benefit:  Source: UC
17:36 <s_gmusic> .......
17:37 <s_gmusic> oh 
17:38 <s_gmusic> my 
17:40 <s_gmusic> BALLS
17:44 <Steven> yeah
17:47 <Steven> its pretty decent.
18:24 <s_gmusic> see, that just gives me more incentive to put a barbarian level on my dwarven Fighter/monk.
18:53 <s_gmusic> Fighter 8 vs Barbarian 1: fighter is a bonus feat. barbarian is rage and fast movement.
18:58 <s_gmusic> same save and BAB increases.
19:19 <Steven> actually you would net yourself 2 fort save instead of 1.
19:31 <s_gmusic> oh yeah.
19:32 <Steven> lose a feat but net rage and fast movement
19:40 <s_gmusic> I'll have a 17 Fort, then.
20:18 <Steven> 2 level dip is pretty sweet though, cause you get a rage power and uncanny dodge
22:58 <Steven> the rage power that would likely be the most useful would be Roused Anger
23:14 <Mekkis> thinking about running Godsmouth Heresy
23:21 <Steven> meaning you could slap back to back furious finish if you need to.
24:41 <s_gmusic> hm....
25:26 <Steven> i considered doing that with my rage prophet, but shes powerful enough already.
26:23 <s_gmusic> hm...
26:53 <s_gmusic> for the rage powers that say "must be 8th level before selecting," is that character level 8th or barbarian level 8th?
27:35 <Steven> barbarian level
29:34 <s_gmusic> bleh
30:46 <Steven> yeah its horrible how they save the really powerful stuff until high level
31:09 <s_gmusic> not really. just the wording seems like it could be either way.
32:15 <Mekkis> if in doubt, go with the least powerful option
32:17 <Mekkis> :S
33:17 <Steven> alright time to play a game
33:45 <Mekkis> I suggest Russian Roulette
33:56 <Mekkis> with an automatic
34:28 <Steven> well thats rude.
35:16 <s_gmusic> Guarded Life probably wouldn't be a bad power for this character...
36:11 <Steven> do you regularly find yourself sucking dust?
36:43 <s_gmusic> nope, not really on this guy.
36:56 <Steven> so why would you want that?
37:31 <s_gmusic> because I can't find one that gives a bonus to initiative rolls. :\
37:54 <Steven> improved initiative
37:57 <Steven> reactionary
38:02 <Steven> cracked ioun stone
38:11 <Steven> upping your dex mod
38:17 <s_gmusic> forgot about the ioun stone.
38:47 <s_gmusic> bleh.
39:41 <s_gmusic> was starting to think about retraining a fighter level for a barbarian level, then take a second barbarian level.
40:48 * Steven shrugs
40:52 <Steven> not the worst idea
41:45 <s_gmusic> true. fortunately, I can test in herolab and not screw up any numbers.
42:31 <s_gmusic> no, wait.
42:43 <s_gmusic> can't do the barbarian levels because of Monk. :\
42:48 <Mekkis> heh
43:44 <s_gmusic> there's a monk archetype that'd let me do barbarian levels, but not a barbarian archetype that'd let me do monk or paladin levels. :(
43:46 <Steven> yes you can
43:57 <Steven> A monk who becomes nonlawful cannot gain new levels as a monk but retains all monk abilities.
44:06 <Steven> so long as you dont plan on taking anymore levels in monk.
44:11 <s_gmusic> .....
44:31 <s_gmusic> FANTASTIC
44:45 <s_gmusic> but what does it cost to change alignment in society?
46:19 <Steven> an atonement
47:16 <Steven> well gotta go, my dad's wife's mom just died.
57:13 <Mekkis> hmmm... Brock's coming to the country.
57:34 <s_gmusic> from what I'm reading on the forums, it looks like I can change alignments without backlash or having to spend for an atonement. I'm just going from Lawful Neutral to True Neutral, and it could be backed by the way I've been playing this character: less and less lawful and orderly and more "let me at them"
57:59 <s_gmusic> if I wanted to change back to Lawful, then I would definitely need an atonement, though
59:40 <Mekkis> if you planned it, then you're Doing It Wrong though
00:30 <s_gmusic> none of this was planned, though. 
00:47 <s_gmusic> that's actually how I've been playing this character. now I'm messing with mechanics for sillyness

27:52 <Avatar> you don't need an atonement for that
33:27 <s_gmusic> yeah.
33:37 <s_gmusic> it's just figuring out how silly I want to go with it.
