02:49:25 <Brunius> uh oh
03:02:21 <Avatar> banning idents just makes it harder for us to identify him

03:54:00 <diebot> Avatar, Character: James, number: 413867( http://www.pfrpg.com.au/viewchar.php5?char=413867 )
03:54:01 <Avatar> this brings up two URLs, it's one of those
03:54:13 <Avatar> can you make diebot smart enough to separate two numbers
03:54:21 <Avatar> and give two or more links
03:55:09 <Avatar> even when we get enough for four digits, can it try to guess that a 7 digit number where one of the two numbers starts with a 1 is probably the 4-digit number
03:59:59 <Mekkis> Avatar, I can
04:00:09 <Mekkis> Hell, I'll do it
04:00:22 <Mekkis> either over the next few days, or on the plane to Brisbane
04:00:52 <Mekkis> (for the record, the character number search is a Horrible piece of code)
04:01:07 <Mekkis> the Archaeologist/Lore warden?
04:02:01 <Mekkis> where did you get Scholastic from?
04:04:18 <Mekkis> Wow.
04:04:28 <Mekkis> I get to play my Battering blaster with Matt Goodall!
04:05:47 <Mekkis> Guy who abuses broken spell, meet guy who wrote broken spell.
04:10:00 <Mekkis> Avatar: fair enough. just landed in Melbourne
04:14:38 <s_gmusic> anyone read d20Monkey webcomic?
04:16:53 <Mekkis> Die, bot

04:27:43 <Mekkis> This is interesting: All my gnomes are level 9
04:30:43 <Avatar> yeah thx
04:31:04 <Mekkis> no problem. Looks like Itzamna will be meeting James
04:31:14 <Mekkis> Have they met before?

04:34:34 <Avatar> that's actually what I was after
04:34:42 <Avatar> I forgot the command was there
04:34:56 <Mekkis> Avatar, I know.
04:35:42 <Mekkis> When I was writing diebot, I wanted to limit the number of lines he could print to 1 line in, 1 line out. To prevent flooding.
04:35:48 <Mekkis> I've relaxed that a bit, but not that much
04:36:07 <Avatar> the 3 lines is much cleaner
04:36:13 <Mekkis> Hmmm... What feat should I get at level 9
04:36:18 <Mekkis> Agreed.
04:36:21 <Avatar> as long as someone doesn't have 10 characters of the same name, you know
04:36:29 <Avatar> what class
04:36:34 <Mekkis> sorcerer
04:36:42 <Mekkis> I'm thinking of another metamagic feat.
04:36:50 <Mekkis> I currently have Intensify Spell...
04:37:10 <Mekkis> although, Point Blank Shot (or even Spell Focus (Ranged Touch Attack)) might be better.
04:37:21 <Mekkis> I've been missing a bit
04:37:45 <Mekkis> I wonder if my ninth level domain spell is as shit as they normally are

04:58:18 <s_gmusic> is it good or bad that I do better at, and am more comfortable with, miniature assembly instead of painting?
05:01:14 <Avatar> why would that be good or bad
05:02:18 <s_gmusic> idunno
05:05:31 <Avatar> not every act has karma attached to it
05:42:25 <Avatar> heighten spell
05:45:56 <Avatar> apparently James still needs levelling :|
05:46:29 <Avatar> what's a good 9th level feat for an archaeologist
05:46:53 <Avatar> got combat expertise, weapon finesse, dervish dance, arcane strike, improved init, butterfly's sting, second chance
05:47:32 <Avatar> maybe toughness
05:48:13 <Mekkis> you would think that, Avatar
05:50:29 <Avatar> where are you staying mekkis
05:54:45 <Avatar> I'd kind of like to get spring attack
05:55:02 <Avatar> probably need the hp though
06:02:10 <Avatar> glibness was the 3rd spell I added to my 3rd level spells

06:02:23 <diebot> Your speech becomes fluent and more believable, causing those who hear you to believe every word you say. You gain a +20 bonus on Bluff checks made to convince another of the truth of your words. This bonus doesn't apply to other uses of the Bluff skill, such as feinting in combat, creating a diversion to hide, or communicating a hidden message via
06:02:23 <diebot> innuendo. If a magical effect is used against you that would detect your lies or force you to speak the truth, the user of the effect must succeed on a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) against a DC of 15 + your caster level to succeed. Failure means the effect does not detect your lies or force you to speak only the truth.

06:18:08 <diebot> You create a phantom instrument, a glowing construct of magic in the form of a portable musical instrument of your choice. The instrument floats beside you, moving as you move (even if you teleport). It cannot be damaged, but can be dispelled. The instrument plays as you direct, and as long as it plays, you do not have to expend rounds of bardic
06:18:08 <diebot> performance from your daily allotment to maintain an effect. Activating a bardic performance or switching to a new still costs a round of your overall bardic performances per day.
06:19:11 <Avatar> !spell raging rubble

06:19:12 <diebot> You animate an area of rubble, gravel, or other small stones, creating a dangerous, rolling area of debris. The animated rubble has a space of 10 feet and acts like a swarm, damaging (1d6 hit points) and distracting (DC 12) anything within it. As a move action, you can direct the rubble to move up to 10 feet. If the rubble is attacked, treat it as
06:19:12 <diebot> a Medium animated object with the young creature simple template and the swarm subtype.
06:19:43 <Avatar> I think I know why I chose glibness
06:26:17 <s_gmusic> avatar, he also mentions a craft feat, so I'm guessing an adventure path or homebrew character
06:27:34 <s_gmusic> but while we're asking for recommendations: society lvl 4 Martial Artist monk with 9700gp and 19 fame. Get a +1 AoMF now or wait and get the +2 version for Holy?
06:49:05 <Mekkis> s_gmusic: have you considered getting a bunch of different Bane ones?
06:49:23 <Mekkis> !item bodywrap of mighty fists
06:49:32 <diebot> Mekkis, BODYWRAP OF MIGHTY STRIKES +1 [faint evocation] CL:5 body 3000gp, 1lb
06:49:32 <diebot> The description is too long to send over IRC. View http://nl.ti4200.info/vpsirc/items/bodywrap_of_mighty_strikes_+1.html
06:50:48 <Mekkis> get a bunch of bane amulets and a bodywrap
06:53:40 <s_gmusic> what action is it to change an amulet in the middle of combat?
06:54:08 <Mekkis> either one or two move actions
06:54:34 <Mekkis> depending on how you play it.
06:54:47 <s_gmusic> hm... would being tiefling with Prehensile Tail and a Handy Haversack help that?
06:55:08 <Mekkis> perhaps
06:55:22 <Mekkis> still, one move action minimum
06:56:14 <s_gmusic> yeah. with tail and haversack, should be a swift action to retrieve it from my haversack, then it's removing the first one and equipping the second.
06:56:25 <Mekkis> if you wear a humanbane amulet and a dragonbane one at the same time, only one works. The other is nonfunctional.
06:56:46 <Mekkis> if you remove the functional one, the other starts working
06:57:01 <s_gmusic> could speed it up by not wearing one all the time, then it's just the swift action to retreive and (whatever) action to equip.
06:57:26 <Mekkis> movement to equip. Better to wear them all.
06:57:47 <Mekkis> and unequip if it's the wrong one
06:59:07 <Mekkis> if you have two, half the time you'll be right
07:00:06 <s_gmusic> what about leave the neck slot open outside of combat. combat starts, spend a swift to retrieve the correct amulet, move action to equip it. leaves me a standard action to either make a Vital Strike/Stunning Fist (if already in range), move as needed, or ready an action.
07:00:15 <Mekkis> if I were you, I'd get either humanbane or evil outsiderbane, and a +1 bodywrap
07:00:47 <Mekkis> having them both requires less actions
07:01:24 <s_gmusic> yeah, but what if with season 6 or something else and I'd collect more than the two?
07:01:52 <s_gmusic> only looking at 4000gp per Bane
07:02:53 <Mekkis> remove one, see which one wins; then if required, remove the other. Regardless, you have a pretty good chance to be wearing the right one to start with
07:03:12 <Mekkis> (by listening to your briefing )
07:03:23 <s_gmusic> true.
07:03:51 <Mekkis> can you help with my summoner?
07:04:05 <s_gmusic> could even do the same thing as I was already thinking. keep them all Haversacked, then equip the more useful one during the briefing.
07:04:11 <s_gmusic> saves actions
07:04:55 <s_gmusic> also, why Human Bane instead of another humanoid?
07:04:59 <Mekkis> then to switch, you need move action to remove plus move action to put the right one
07:05:21 <s_gmusic> no clue about summoners and barely anything about base casters (wizard, cleric, sorcerer)
07:05:22 <Mekkis> because humans suck. And keep backstabbing me.
07:05:42 <s_gmusic> lol
07:07:27 <Mekkis> the thing is, my character doesn't actually care about any of his ability scores.
07:07:42 <s_gmusic> Evil Outsider is a given, but was also looking at a Construct Bane and another one. 4 Bane amulets, though, would be the same as just getting the +2 version of the amulet.
07:07:56 <s_gmusic> don't you need a high casting stat for your eidolon?
07:08:37 <Mekkis> nope
07:12:36 <Mekkis> high cha is not a bad thing, but not required
07:12:59 <Mekkis> regardless, the eidolon is pretty horrible
07:14:30 <Mekkis> current evolutions: Reach(bite) and Skilled, four times
07:15:14 <Avatar> yeah a feat that gives +9 hp is sounding pretty damn sweet about now
07:15:33 <s_gmusic> wut
07:16:48 <Mekkis> three knowledges and perception
07:17:38 <Avatar> retraining 3 prestige per hp isn't really sounding terrible either with how easy I am to hit and how few hp I have even with toughness
07:17:44 <s_gmusic> .... do you keep your eidolon tiny or small and use it to scout?
07:18:02 <Mekkis> nope.
07:18:23 <Mekkis> it's a drug-induced hallucination

07:54:29 <Avatar> what is the ISO standard
07:54:43 <Avatar> vengeance was part of my optimisation
07:54:52 <Avatar> I have to roll it into my personality

08:14:37 <Omicron> The future is now, I guess.
08:14:46 <Avatar> good, James is a diplomat
08:15:03 <Avatar> maybe I should take glibness
08:15:18 <Omicron> Say! I'm a prospective D&D/Pathfinder player. I have a few friends interested in playing as well. But I have no idea where to look for a GM >.> So I started looking for IRC channels and such.
08:15:24 <Mekkis> that's not the issue. I get the impression that if Someone says something stupid, it could fuck up the entire mission.
08:15:30 <Omicron> Might y'all know where I could fish for a GM
08:15:32 <Avatar> oh
08:15:37 <Mekkis> and we have Thomas at our table.
08:15:42 <Avatar> well I can tell you that as a player I am quite prone to saying something stupid
08:15:48 <Mekkis> that too
08:16:10 <Avatar> I fucked up quite fantastically at fury of the fiend, it was hilarious
08:16:11 <Mekkis> Avatar can GM
08:16:16 <Mekkis> so I implore you to think before you speak.
08:16:24 <Mekkis> As badly as what happened when I played it?
08:16:26 <Avatar> where's the fun in that
08:16:29 <Mekkis> I volunteer him
08:16:35 <Avatar> I wasn't at your table
08:16:56 <Mekkis> did you go down the shaft?
08:17:14 <Avatar> yeah
08:17:20 <Mekkis> #spoilers
08:17:36 <Omicron> You have been sacrificed on the altar of hungry players, Avatar.
08:19:24 <Avatar> you don't fish for a GM in pathfinder society
08:19:33 <Avatar> have you played pathfinder society
08:19:38 <Mekkis> who said this was Society?
08:19:40 <Omicron> Neveeer
08:19:44 <Avatar> pathfindersocietyonline.com/gettingstarted/
08:19:48 <Mekkis> Actually....
08:19:57 <Mekkis> Brunius is looking for players in his campaign
08:20:08 <Omicron> I don't actually /know/ what pathfinder society is and- oh required reading
08:20:13 <Omicron> Guess I should have started there
08:20:22 <s_gmusic> http://imgur.com/a/SYArn
08:20:54 <Avatar> the guide to pathfinder society organized play is the most important
08:21:00 <s_gmusic> and to go with that, my puppy. complete with potato filter: http://i.imgur.com/HKSQ8ds.jpg
08:21:05 <Omicron> That is one imposing mini.
08:22:11 <Mekkis> quality of the photo is shit
08:23:14 <Omicron> This looks complicated o.o
08:23:17 <Omicron> I'm used to like
08:23:21 <Omicron> Forums and Skype
08:23:26 <s_gmusic> yeah... cell phones are not good for pictures, but it's what I got. :/
08:25:09 <s_gmusic> fortunately, I was at least able to set it up and not have to hold it to take the pictures, like with the puppy pic.
08:25:41 <Mekkis> get an n900
08:25:48 <Mekkis> awesome phone
08:26:18 <s_gmusic> just recently got a galaxy s3. >.>
08:32:08 * Omicron reads
08:32:13 <Omicron> ...this is intimidating
08:33:37 <Omicron> I'll probably just keep looking for something a bit more, I dunno, casual >.>
08:37:40 <Mekkis> good job, Avatar
08:41:13 <Omicron> No, no, it's okay XD
09:10:32 <Avatar> it's the kind of thing I might recommend that ballig think I was an idiot for recommending

09:25:18 <andrey> Steven, my character would probably be averse to casting shadow projection
09:25:44 <andrey> it seems kinda creepy
09:31:47 <Steven> yo
09:32:57 <Mekkis> Steven, can you give me suggestions for gear for my 4th level first worlder master summoner
09:33:08 <Mekkis> I'm at a bit of a loss on what to craft/buy
09:33:31 <Steven> a gun to shoot yourself in the face with!
09:34:17 <Steven> okay but my serious respond would be a headband.
09:35:19 <Mekkis> Charisma? Int? Something Interesting?
09:36:20 <Mekkis> I have cast shadow projection in a PFS scenario before. Never again
09:36:35 <Steven> are those two archetypes?
09:42:31 <andrey> what happened?
09:42:36 <Mekkis> yeah
09:42:40 <Mekkis> maybe the

09:42:43 <diebot> Mekkis, HEADBAND OF PONDEROUS RECOLLECTION [moderate divination and transmutation] CL:8 headband 5100gp, 1lb
09:42:44 <diebot> This black leather headband has two small amber gemstones set so they rest on the wearer's forehead. The headband grants the wearer a +2 enhancement bonus to Intelligence. Treat this as a temporary ability bonus for the first 24 hours the headband is worn. It also grants skill ranks as a headband of vast intelligence, but always grants ranks in a
09:42:45 <diebot> Knowledge skill. As a swift action three times per day, the wearer can call upon the headband to reveal the abilities and weaknesses of a creature within line of sight. The headband fills the wearer's mind with information as though the wearer had made a Knowledge check with a natural roll of a 5, adding her bonuses to the check as normal. At the
09:42:45 <diebot> start of her next turn, the wearer receives additional information as though she had made the check with a natural roll of 10. At the start of her turn after that, the wearer receives a final piece of information, treating her natural roll as 15. Source: Ultimate Equipment
09:43:01 <andrey> did your paladin party member flip out or something?
09:43:04 <Mekkis> It entirely removed all the risk associated with the mission
09:43:43 <andrey> so, a typical spell effect?
09:44:06 <Mekkis> what? no
09:44:38 <Mekkis> most spells, at most, can change the outcome of a single combat. This spell removes /all/ risk from the /entire scenario/
09:44:49 <andrey> that's what scouting generally does?
09:45:01 <Mekkis> nope. There's still risk when scouting
09:45:09 <Mekkis> could a diviner UMD an Amulet of magecraft?
09:45:58 <Steven> i dont believe the first worlder and master summoner are stackible
09:46:17 <Mekkis> my GM thinks otherwise
09:46:20 <andrey> can you be killed through shadow projection?
09:46:25 <Mekkis> Brunius, FYI: Change your WoT password.
09:46:35 <andrey> can the shadow projection be imprisoned somehow?
09:47:11 <andrey> plus all the standard anti-undead warding stuff should still work
09:47:49 <Mekkis> andrey, even if the projection is destroyed, you're still alive.
09:47:56 <andrey> yeah I get that
09:48:12 <andrey> you're just a clw-quaff away from casting it again
09:48:38 <andrey> but it's undead, there are lots of ways to deal with undead
09:48:54 <andrey> is what I'm saying
09:49:23 <andrey> perhaps the gm simply didn't expect you to use evil spells?
09:49:29 <Steven> well if its a home brew he can do whatever the hell he wants, but the two archetypes do not stack normally
09:49:38 <Mekkis> there are 'lots of ways' to deal with lots of things. Doesn't mean that the scenario is prepared for it.
09:50:13 <Mekkis> I told the GM beforehand. He was fine with it. But I didn't enjoy it, and I'm not sure the other players (or the GM) really enjoyed it either.
09:51:10 <andrey> well, dm's job is to roll with punches and adjust so suddenly the scenario has anti-undead magic
09:51:23 <andrey> can you do that sort of thing in pfs?
09:51:24 <Mekkis> PFS doesn't allow for that
09:51:45 <Mekkis> it's probably one of PFS's biggest weaknesses - and its strengths
09:52:14 <andrey> I'm starting to get the feeling pfs is most fun with iconic characters
09:52:36 <Steven> pfs is most fun with a character you build and enjoy playing.
09:53:06 <andrey> that also doesn't slow the game to a crawl?
09:53:31 <Steven> if somebody wants to slow it to a crawl and the players and GM are okay with it
09:53:39 <Steven> then that is okay.
09:53:56 <Steven> on sunday my group spent an entire hour roleplaying before the game started.
09:54:05 <Steven> before mission briefing was even read
09:54:17 <Steven> no clue what we were going to do.
09:54:52 <andrey> I just generally haven't heard of people enjoying that sort of thing where you suddenly add more characters- through summons etc
09:55:01 <andrey> too many actions
09:55:14 <andrey> oh yeah, slow story is fine
09:55:19 <andrey> slow combat is usually bad
09:55:46 <Steven> we basically had a pot head cleric, a corrupt cop, a russian salesman, one guy who didnt really do anything, and my dr jekyl/Mr Hyde character
09:57:16 <Steven> as long as you dont take ten minutes solely on your turn.... or like an hour and a quarter in a surprise round.
09:58:13 <Steven> i mean, seriously if your shtick is summoning things, while its not your turn you should be looking up what to summon.
09:58:36 <Steven> and have their stats at hand, and then make sure you will have the dice you need
09:59:03 <Steven> so when its your turn and they pop out you can just say hey they do this /roll dice
09:59:31 <Steven> but yeah if you are i start summoning and then spend the entire round talking to your neighbor
09:59:53 <Steven> and then its your turn and you're like oh well let me find something to actually summon
10:00:03 <Steven> then yeah you shouldnt probably play that class.
10:02:15 <Steven> alright, goin down to play some pfs. see ya

10:04:18 <diebot> A robe of powerlessness appears to be a magic robe of another sort. As soon as a character dons this garment, she takes a -10 penalty to Strength, as well as to Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma, forgetting spells and magic knowledge accordingly. If the character is a spellcaster, the robe targets the character's primary spellcasting score,
10:04:18 <diebot> otherwise it targets Intelligence. The robe can be removed easily, but in order to restore mind and body, the character must receive a remove curse spell followed by heal. Source: PFRPG Core

18:30:22 <Mekkis> Avatar, I know.
18:31:07 <Mekkis> When I was writing diebot, I wanted to limit the number of lines he could print to 1 line in, 1 line out. To prevent flooding.

18:32:46 <Mekkis> I've been missing a bit
18:33:12 <Mekkis> I wonder if my ninth level domain spell is as shit as they normally are
18:33:15 <Yiroep> I had an idea for an archeaologist bard/shadowdancer who got a wand of that and buffed himself to get more strength damage, and flank with his shadow.
18:33:17 <Yiroep> Probably will never made it.
18:33:33 <Mekkis> Poison. Useless

20:08:48 <diebot> Mekkis, ROBE OF POWERLESSNESS [strong transmutation] CL:13 body 0gp, 1lb
20:08:48 <diebot> A robe of powerlessness appears to be a magic robe of another sort. As soon as a character dons this garment, she takes a -10 penalty to Strength, as well as to Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma, forgetting spells and magic knowledge accordingly. If the character is a spellcaster, the robe targets the character's primary spellcasting score,
20:08:48 <diebot> otherwise it targets Intelligence. The robe can be removed easily, but in order to restore mind and body, the character must receive a remove curse spell followed by heal. Source: PFRPG Core

20:23:12 <diebot> Mekkis, VEST OF SURGERY [faint conjuration] CL:5 chest 3000gp, 4lb
20:23:12 <diebot> This emerald vest has four prominent and bulging pockets along its front. The wearer is always treated as if using a healer's kit when making Heal checks (Core Rulebook 161). Once per day, the wearer can make a DC 20 Heal check as if attempting to treat deadly wounds. If the check is successful, it cures 1d4 points of ability damage instead of hit
20:23:12 <diebot> point damage. Source: Ultimate Equipment

22:07:16 <Mekkis> Avatar, for Port Godless?
22:07:26 <Mekkis> I'll be bringing Itzamna
22:07:45 <Mekkis> although...
22:07:52 <Mekkis> I'm a little worried...
22:09:53 <Avatar> why
22:10:00 <Mekkis> I believe that it's a very sensitive diplomatic mission.
22:10:14 <Avatar> good, James is a diplomat
22:10:29 <Avatar> maybe I should take glibness
22:10:50 <Mekkis> that's not the issue. I get the impression that if Someone says something stupid, it could fuck up the entire mission.
22:10:59 <Avatar> oh
22:11:03 <Mekkis> and we have Thomas at our table.
22:11:08 <Avatar> well I can tell you that as a player I am quite prone to saying something stupid
22:11:14 <Mekkis> that too
22:11:37 <Avatar> I fucked up quite fantastically at fury of the fiend, it was hilarious
22:11:42 <Mekkis> so I implore you to think before you speak.
22:11:50 <Mekkis> As badly as what happened when I played it?
22:12:11 <Avatar> where's the fun in that
22:12:12 <Avatar> I wasn't at your table
22:12:22 <Mekkis> did you go down the shaft?
22:12:40 <Avatar> yeah
