15:45:49 <Damalon01> yo
15:47:01 <Steven> sup son
15:47:19 <Damalon01> Chillin'. You?
15:47:41 <Steven> same... lookin at Craft Wondrous Item for my cleric in mummy's mask.
15:47:50 <s_gmusic> This was a good night for me in Society.
15:48:13 <s_gmusic> just jumped in a 1-5 scenario with my level 3 wizard. it was mostly undead.
15:48:17 <s_gmusic> >:3
15:54:37 <Damalon01> hehehe you blew them up S_G?
15:55:13 <Damalon01> does Mummy's Mask have a fair bit of downtime Steven?
15:55:58 <Steven> dunno... i think it will.
15:56:16 <Steven> most APs allow for a gm to say hey you guys have 3 weeks to do what you want.
15:56:17 <s_gmusic> the only spells I had prepped were disrupt undead, burning hands, magic missile, and scorching ray
15:57:13 <Damalon01> most APs do have some down time. Does the players guide for it say anything about feat choices, like item creation?
15:57:27 <Steven> wrath was pretty much the quickest campaign i've seen so far and it had around 7 weeks of downtime where we built stuff.
15:57:40 <Damalon01> so yes you blew them up S-G
15:57:49 <Damalon01> nice
15:58:20 <Damalon01> Wrath of the Righteous right?
15:58:28 <Damalon01> what did you think of wrath?
15:59:07 <Steven> the players guide for mummy's mask doesnt have anything on crafting.
15:59:19 <Damalon01> hmmm your proly safe
15:59:32 <Steven> and wrath was cool except for every instance of mythic.
15:59:41 <Damalon01> mythic is bad?
15:59:48 <Damalon01> how so?
16:00:23 <Steven> the things you can do with mythic powers are fucking retarded.
16:00:47 <Damalon01> too powerful?
16:00:53 <Steven> way too powerful.
16:01:11 <Damalon01> ok, youre probably right
16:01:11 <Steven> i went from doing around 30-35 damage to doing 300+ depending on buffs.
16:01:21 <Steven> when i crit
16:01:31 <Steven> on a 17-20... auto confirm.
16:01:36 <Steven> auto maximized dice.
16:01:42 <Damalon01> ahh
16:01:46 <Steven> power attack bonus double
16:01:51 <Damalon01> what were you playing? class wise
16:01:57 <Steven> I was a rage prophet.
16:02:01 <Steven> er
16:02:04 <Steven> bloodrager
16:02:09 <Damalon01> ok
16:02:25 <Steven> and the shit i could do was insane.
16:02:33 <Damalon01> lol of course
16:02:46 <s_gmusic> please don't remind me. I have to GM Wrath in a couple days.
16:02:53 <Steven> at the end of the game i could go up to -88hp and still be standing fighting
16:03:03 <Steven> taking full round actions
16:03:10 <s_gmusic> my current plan is to cap their mythic things at Tier 3 for a while.
16:03:31 <Damalon01> im gonna start it in a couple weeks
16:03:58 <Steven> and while negative i had DR10/epic and had +2 attack/dmg
16:04:05 <Damalon01> im not too worried about the mythic aspects, seems like its paced through the AP
16:04:15 <s_gmusic> oh GOD no
16:04:18 <Steven> enemies had to reroll all crits against me
16:04:44 <s_gmusic> for what they get per tier, stupid happens. especially if they're optimizers
16:05:30 <Steven> my lowest to hit was like +33 while power attacking, combat expertise, and fighting defensively for an AC of 66
16:05:36 <Damalon01> well i think stupid is gonna happen anyways. Ill just have to be careful my players dont optimize too much
16:05:37 <s_gmusic> If I could start this game over again, I would only allow Mythic Tier 1 and then possibly Hero Points
16:06:18 <Steven> and i could spend an immediate action to get +10 dodge bonus to AC.
16:06:25 <Steven> vs a single hit against me.
16:07:00 <Damalon01> hmmm ill take what you say under advisement, both of you. but i kinda need to see it for myself. whats more it seems like a little stupid is needed for some of the encounters
16:08:02 <Steven> so... yeah deskari crit me on a 19 and got like a 65 to hit me and missed and it was a minute consideration on whether he wanted to spend an immediate action to surge. GM decided no because he would have to roll to confim.
16:08:18 <Steven> and likely wouldnt.
16:08:42 <Steven> and the bitch of it was i could have spent my immediate action to get a 76 to hit.
16:08:51 <Steven> well to AC.. you get the point.
16:08:55 <Damalon01> yup
16:09:06 <Damalon01> thats is insanely high
16:09:11 <Steven> shit just gets retarded at level 20 w/ 10 mythic tiers.
16:09:16 <Damalon01> like i said ill figure it out for myself
16:09:47 <Damalon01> i want my pcs to succeed after all
16:10:05 <Steven> Shield of Faith Augmented
16:10:10 <Damalon01> but too much optimization could ruin the game
16:10:12 <Steven> gives +10 Deflection bonus
16:10:24 <Damalon01> yeah i get it Steven
16:10:44 <Steven> we had a guy that handed those out and they lasted for 24hours.
16:11:23 <Steven> if you want your PCs to succeed but not become stupid broken, go with like 1 mythic tier per book.
16:11:39 <Steven> so that they get one 6th level mythic path ability
16:11:56 <Steven> oh... and dont let everyone have legendary weapons.
16:13:14 <Steven> OH! and no super archers.
16:14:06 <Steven> super archers make the game horrible because to keep up with the archer the monsters have to become more powerful, which makes everyone else in the party have to start optimizing.
16:15:09 <Damalon01> alrighty, thanks for the advice
16:15:44 <Steven> that is what happened to my group, everything was going great, then archer was like Mythic Many shot, Mythic Rapid shot... watch me shoot 10 arrows... they are all Demon bane+Holy.... let me roll, seriously now, a handful of dice.
16:17:06 <Steven> every round about 40-45d6
16:18:13 <Steven> favored enemy demon modifiers and str score it was around dice+150 damage easily
16:18:30 <Steven> !throw 40d6+150
16:18:30 <diebot> Steven, 40d6+150: [40d6=6,1,3,6,4,6,4,6,4,5,5,3,5,3,4,5,6,2,3,3,6,4,4,6,6,2,5,2,2,2,3,5,4,3,2,6,5,3,2,5] 311
16:19:09 <Steven> oh the other thing we did... mythic vital strike, turned into a once per day attack.
16:19:31 <Steven> because you can spend a mythic surge as a free action to get another standard action.
16:19:51 txtsd ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
16:19:55 <Steven> so one of our characters went with fleet charge up to the enemy get an attack.
16:20:42 <Steven> standard action mythic improved greater vital strike thing for 300-400 damage
16:20:46 <Steven> free action get another standard
16:20:52 <Steven> for another 300-400 damage
16:21:53 <Steven> and then if he got a crit... he used his legendary weapon ability of Foebiter to double the damage of a single attack.
16:22:18 <Steven> so around 800 damage in one attack.
16:22:34 <Steven> just boom everything dies.
16:32:48 <Avatar> yo
16:32:53 <Steven> sup
16:33:30 <Avatar> I wouldn't mind seeing the v6 preview of the PFS guide
16:33:54 <Steven> you and me both.
16:34:21 <Steven> also wouldnt mind getting the scenarios for gencon.
16:37:29 <s_gmusic> so, here's my plan to aggravate a local pfs player: GM a scenario on Aug. 13th. stretch it out past midnight, complete and apply it to a new race character and text him a picture.
16:37:55 <Steven> ...
16:38:04 <Steven> seems petty
16:39:16 <Steven> why do you want to do that anyways?
16:39:53 <s_gmusic> a bit petty, yeah, but when he starts going on about he can't play certain things because he absolutely must play them at gencon and wants to be the first person in our area to have a society legal character from one of the new races, it's like "yeah, no. that ain't going to happen."
16:40:25 <Avatar> that's dumb man
16:41:17 <s_gmusic> me or him? I'll admit it's somewhat spiteful.
16:41:25 <Steven> i mean seriously he can just create a character now and 'rebuild it' at 12:01AM on August 14th
16:41:52 <s_gmusic> that's what we know. I don't think it's clicked for him yet
16:42:28 <Steven> well then ignore the guy, giving him attention only fuels his stupidity.
16:43:52 <s_gmusic> yeah, exercised that option with a different player and they hardly come around any more.
16:45:20 <Avatar> you
16:45:42 <Avatar> steven is being polite
16:46:12 <Steven> I am?
16:46:17 <Avatar> yes
16:46:22 <Steven> wasnt aware.
16:46:32 <Avatar> mate you are too nice for your own good
16:46:37 <Steven> yay sensitivity classes paying off.
16:51:16 <s_gmusic> heh
16:53:09 <Steven> scotch is tasty.
16:54:34 <Steven> just said this!
16:55:51 <Steven> Me: "you'll have to wait while i boot up my care subroutine." Person I'm talking to: "Wait, you have a care subroutine?" Me: "shhhhhhhhhhhh its a secret"
