16:59 <Steven> i hate the night before a big trip

31:18 <Steven> so hat up fellas
31:25 <Steven> what*
37:48 <Steven> damn... guess i am alone in here
37:57 * Steven begins taking off pants
51:48 <Steve> 3.5 hours until i leave the house
52:11 <Steve> 7 hours until I'm flying.

48:32 <Steven> why wouldnt you?
48:41 <Avatar> because that FAQ says charges carry over
49:13 <Mekkis> there's also an indeterminate amount of time between scenarios
49:31 <Avatar> this specific rule overrides that general one
49:55 <Mekkis> I would argue that it's not specific /enough/ to override that
50:03 <Avatar> how 
50:06 <Avatar> it mentions staves
50:10 <Avatar> it's in the pathfinder society FAQ
50:16 <Steven> I think that is to prevent a GM from telling someone once they start a new scenario that their staff has zero charges.
51:03 <Avatar> you're right, it could be interpreted either way
51:23 <Steven> because if it is as you say, yesterday it said no charges dont carry over. then damn staves really sucked.
51:56 <Steven> Hey i'll pay 109k for a staff of life.
51:58 <Mekkis> more to the point, it doesn't really matter
52:00 <Avatar> my interpretation is that you could put charges into it at the end of a scenario and they carry over
52:13 <Mekkis> Because there's also an indeterminite amount of time /before/ a scenario.
52:17 <Steven> dont use it, and then next scenario all charges gone... ouch.
52:20 <Avatar> it does matter, because that faq is there
53:03 <Mekkis> so at the start of the scenario, you can spend ten days charging your staff, and another month copying your spellbooks with /secret page/
54:11 <Steven> i dont really see a problem with somebody taking however many days before a scenario starts. to charge staves or prep a contingency spell
54:38 <Steven> or whatever they wanna do so long as its something their character would normally be doing.
54:54 <Mekkis> Grolschmir used to cast Goodberry a day before the scenario started. Free healing is good for low-level
55:15 <Steven> "Oh you're a spellcaster with a staff and you spent the first 7 days befoer going to the briefing recharging a staff... cool."
58:52 <Steven> i think the additional resources is going to be updated today with the ACG on it.
02:15 <Mekkis> and possibly banning PotP
02:51 <Steven> let us pray....
02:53 <Mekkis> you need to remember that Paizo was the publisher of Dragon Magazine
03:08 <Mekkis> that epitome of balance
03:19 <Steven> We had a player show up with that last week
03:42 <Steven> uh... a 47 bluff to know what type of creature this is....
04:01 <Steven> cause you know... I'm lying so good the creature itself believes that its abilities are what i say it is.
05:14 <Steven> oh, and that was after i told him his mask of stoney demeanor didnt increase that... which he was very upset about.
06:45 <Steven> We made our GM for our Homebrew sad.  He pitted us against 4 lacidons(the aquatic ghoul things) and a Level 3 Ghoul Cleric vs a party of 4 level 2s.
07:09 <Steven> and we TPK'd after an epic fight.
07:31 <Steven> so we rerolled and we didnt build flavor builds
10:20 <Steven> and now he is like WTF?!? steve has all knowledge skills at a +14 and causes bleed damage constantly, Walters unbuffed to hit with 4 attacks is +11/11/11/6 for minimum of 14 damage per hit, the Oracle keeps everyone full healed without running out of spell slots, and the rogue is sneak attacking with a greatsword.... how did this happen.
11:07 <Steven> and walter was like... well 4 lacidons and a level 3 ghoul cleric... guess you should have leveled us up to 3rd lol
27:02 * Steven yawns

42:22 <Mekkis> !spell status
42:34 <diebot> Mekkis, STATUS divination ([]) cleric 2, witch 2 1 standard action Range: touch one living creature touched per three levels Comp: V, S Duration: 1 hour/level Save: Will negates (harmless) SR:yes (harmless)Source: PFRPG Core
42:35 <diebot> When you need to keep track of comrades who may get separated, status allows you to mentally monitor their relative positions and general condition. You are aware of direction and distance to the creatures and any conditions affecting them: unharmed, wounded, disabled, staggered, unconscious, dying, nauseated, panicked, stunned, poisoned, diseased,
42:35 <diebot> confused, or the like. Once the spell has been cast upon the subjects, the distance between them and the caster does not affect the spell as long as they are on the same plane of existence. If a subject leaves the plane, or if it dies, the spell ceases to function for it.
00:22 <Mekkis> !spell Forceful Strike
00:26 <diebot> Mekkis, FORCEFUL STRIKE evocation ([force]) cleric 4, inquisitor 4, magus 4, paladin 4 1 swift action Range: touch or reach of melee weapon 1 creature Comp: V, S Duration: instantaneous Save: Fortitude partial SR:yesSource: Inner Sea Magic
00:27 <diebot> You cast this spell as you strike a creature with a melee weapon, unarmed strike, or natural attack to unleash a concussive blast of force. You deal normal weapon damage from the blow, but also deal an additional amount of force damage equal to 1d4 points per caster level (maximum of 10d4). The force of the blow may be enough to knock the target
00:27 <diebot> backward as well. To determine if the target is pushed back, make a combat maneuver check with a bonus equal to your caster level to resolve a bull rush attempt against the creature struck. You do not move as a result of this free bull rush, but it can push the target back if it defeats the target's CMD. A successful Fortitude save halves the force
00:27 <diebot> damage and negates the bull rush effect.
02:05 <Mekkis> !spell Death Ward
02:05 <diebot> Mekkis, DEATH WARD necromancy ([]) cleric 4, druid 5, paladin 4, witch 4, inquisitor 4, alchemist 4 1 standard action Range: touch living creature touched Comp: V, S, DF Duration: 1 min./level Save: Will negates (harmless) SR:yes (harmless)Source: PFRPG Core
02:06 <diebot> The subject gains a +4 morale bonus on saves against all death spells and magical death effects. The subject is granted a save to negate such effects even if one is not normally allowed. The subject is immune to energy drain and any negative energy effects, including channeled negative energy. This spell does not remove negative levels that the
02:06 <diebot> subject has already gained, but it does remove the penalties from negative levels for the duration of its effect. Death ward does not protect against other sorts of attacks, even if those attacks might be lethal.
02:37 <Mekkis> !spell Gilded Whispers
02:37 <diebot> Mekkis, GILDED WHISPERS divination ([]) cleric 4, sorcerer/wizard 3 1 round Range: touch a gold or platinum coin Comp: V, S, M (100 gp of powdered gemstones) Duration: 1 day/level (D) Save: Will negates (object) SR:yes (object)Source: Pathfinder Society Field Guide
02:38 <diebot> The description is too long to send over IRC. View http://nl.ti4200.info/vpsirc/spells/gilded_whispers.html
02:45 <Mekkis> I use xchat.
06:23 <Brunius> xchat 4 lief
15:27 <Mekkis> li ef
15:39 <Steven> oh you silly kids
15:40 <Mekkis> Want to blow up some tanks, Brunius ?
15:49 <Brunius> Capped
15:55 <Brunius> Thanks, bro
15:57 <Brunius> :S
16:09 <Mekkis> Stop downloading so much pron
16:24 <Brunius> I don't download my pron
16:31 <Brunius> People might find it if I dl'ed it
16:40 <Mekkis> Stop downloading other people's pron
16:58 <Brunius> I haven't been downloading pron
17:06 <Steven> he's been streaming it.
17:34 <Mekkis> there is no difference.
17:52 <Brunius> as far as data usage goes, no
18:15 <Mekkis> technically, there's no real difference
18:30 <Mekkis> (actually, streaming is worse for the internet than downloading)
18:46 <Brunius> why?
19:46 <Mekkis> two reasons: firstly, downloading something allows more aggressive compression algorithms, because it can assume that the recipient has all the information when they read it.
20:40 <Mekkis> secondly, as the data isn't required real-time, there's no need to give the traffic higher priority. So no QoS worries.
21:06 <Mekkis> remember that when you stream your pron.
21:33 <Steven> i kinda feel like streaming prawn to spite your information.
21:56 <Mekkis> go ahead. Your internet link doesn't really affect mine.
22:17 <Steven> damn there is no stream of a prawn hanging out in a fish tank that is on the first page of google...
22:27 * Steven has been defeated.
22:38 <Mekkis> why don't you s/prawn/pron/
23:33 <Mekkis> Steven, well, PotP is no longer allowed. Solves some issues.
24:02 <Steven> yeah.... cant believe they let that by them the first time.
25:50 <Steven> wizard/druid/theurge.
26:41 <Mekkis> better than witch/druid/theurge?
27:20 <Steven> okay... so if i were to buy one of these tablets. would it load PDFs?
27:51 <Steven> brand new GM, dont want to ruin his game with witches
28:29 <Steven> RCA PRO 10
28:34 <Steven> 16gb
30:14 <Mekkis> non-pfs?
30:47 <Steven> yup yup
31:30 <Mekkis> Are you entering Theurge honestly?
31:36 <Steven> dunno.
31:46 <Mekkis> as in, are you SLAing your way in?
31:46 <Steven> it is under consideration
31:55 <Steven> no, not using the cheater method.
32:10 <Mekkis> more power to you
33:58 <Steven> come on mekkis isnt this your like area of expertise.
35:49 <Steven> hmmmmm that might be worthwhile to plan around.
36:07 <Steven> wizard/magaambyan arcanist
36:42 <Mekkis> Avatar, hasn't Sczarni/Taldor always been like that?
39:05 <Avatar> been like what
39:24 <Avatar> that part of the guide was meant to be changed
39:35 <Mekkis> ah
41:56 Gamera ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
44:06 <Mekkis> Steven, my experience is: try it out.
44:09 <Mekkis> Load the crb
45:10 <Steven> Well i dont have access to the tablet before i purchase it.  Do you know much about android 4.2?
47:16 <Mekkis> !spell unbreakable heart
47:16 <diebot> Mekkis, UNBREAKABLE HEART enchantment (compulsion[mind-affecting]) bard 1, cleric/oracle 1, paladin 1, ranger 1, witch 1 1 standard action Range: close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)  Comp: V, S Duration: 1 round/level Save: Will negates (harmless) SR:yes (harmless)Source: Inner Sea World Guide
47:17 <diebot> The target creature gains a +4 morale bonus on saving throws against mind-affecting effects that rely on negative emotions (such as crushing despair, rage, or fear effects) or that would force him to harm an ally (such as confusion). If the target is already under such an effect when receiving this spell, that effect is suppressed for the duration
47:17 <diebot> of this spell. It does not affect mind-affecting effects based on positive emotions (such as good hope or the inspire courage bard ability). A creature can still be charmed or otherwise magically controlled while under this spell's effects, but if such a creature ever receives a new saving throw against that effect as a result of being ordered to
47:17 <diebot> attempt to harm or otherwise oppose a true ally, he can roll that saving throw twice and take the better result as his actual roll. Calm emotions counters and dispels unbreakable heart.
51:36 <Steven> I'd like to stay with foxit... i like the way their reader is.
12:52 <Avatar> not sure if I can bring myself to chanage my paladin's faction to liberty's edge while I've been trying to avoid andoran forever
22:15 <Steven> hmmmm.... no wood elemental
22:44 <Steven> I've decided on going Wood Wizard/Evangalist of Gozreh
23:27 <Steven> this thursday People of the stars comes out.
23:49 <Steven> it has a blurb about Lashunta which is the race i'm using.
24:03 <Steven> suppose i'll pick that up.
26:28 <Steven> i dont think avatar is having much luck staying connected.
28:25 <Brunius> Seems to be computer restarts, I think?
29:10 <Mekkis> if you don't have access to the tablet before you buy it, don't buy it
29:37 <Steven> well i mean i cant upload things to it. it is a store model.
29:46 <Steven> i played around with it,  worked well.
31:06 <Steven> i just dont know enough about tablets, so i'm asking for opinions.
31:55 Gamera has quit (Quit: )
36:36 <Steven> yup... gonna go evangalist of gozreh
37:41 <Steven> i almost went Erastil, but that one is all Patriarchal which didnt make sense if i came from a Matriarchal society.
39:28 <Mekkis> How do you figure that?
42:23 <Steven> damn i am going to have a lot of skill points.
42:55 <Steven> from 6 to 16 I will gain at least 11/level. so 110... holy moly.
46:54 <Steven> so at level 16 i'll have at least 145 skill points without a headband of int.
47:14 <Steven> seems legit.
50:51 <Steven> 1hr 15 m and i can get my boarding pass confirmed.
51:14 <Steven> so that i can get a good seat on the flight.
52:17 <Mekkis> !spell spell immunity, lesser
52:18 <diebot> Mekkis, SPELL IMMUNITY, GREATER abjuration ([]) cleric 8 1 standard action Range: touch creature touched Comp: V, S, DF Duration: 10 min./level Save: Will negates (harmless) SR:yes (harmless)Source: PFRPG Core
52:18 <diebot> This spell functions like spell immunity, except the immunity applies to spells of 8th level or lower. A creature can have only one spell immunity or greater spell immunity spell in effect on it at a time.
52:23 <Mekkis> !spell spell immunity
52:24 <diebot> Mekkis, SPELL IMMUNITY abjuration ([]) cleric 4, alchemist 4, inquisitor 4 1 standard action Range: touch creature touched Comp: V, S, DF Duration: 10 min./level Save: Will negates (harmless) SR:yes (harmless)Source: PFRPG Core
52:24 <diebot> The warded creature is immune to the effects of one specified spell for every four levels you have. The spells must be of 4th level or lower. The warded creature effectively has unbeatable spell resistance regarding the specified spell or spells. Naturally, that immunity doesn't protect a creature from spells for which spell resistance doesn't
52:25 <diebot> apply. Spell immunity protects against spells, spell-like effects of magic items, and innate spell-like abilities of creatures. It does not protect against supernatural or extraordinary abilities, such as breath weapons or gaze attacks. Only a particular spell can be protected against, not a certain domain or school of spells or a group of spells
52:25 <diebot> that are similar in effect. A creature can have only one spell immunity or greater spell immunity spell in effect on it at a time.
54:50 <Mekkis> A1?
56:12 <Steven> thats the hope
56:24 <Steven> I'm 6'4" so i hate airplanes anyways.
58:09 <Steven> i just dont fit very well into their no leg room seats
58:45 <Mekkis> isn't A1 business class?
00:56 <Steven> mebe, but they usually have the seperator wall thing, and those seats have a bit more leg room than others.
04:00 <Steven> my flight out is on a Boeing 737-700
04:57 <Steven> so I'm shooting for Row 1 ABC DEF or Row 12 A
06:02 <Steven> Row 12A is the best one imo
06:08 <Steven> cause its missing the seat infront of it.
06:42 <Steven> well row 11 isnt bad either
07:18 <Steven> so row 1, 11, or 12A would be acceptable.
07:43 <Mekkis> just fly business class
07:59 <Steven> thats significantly more expensive.
24:59 <Mekkis> Steven, use microsd card
30:56 <Mekkis> but Paizo PDFs are bitches to open, so if the tablet can't open and scroll through the core rulebook (not the lite version) don't get it.
37:29 <Mekkis> Trust Australia.
41:31 <Steven> i would but everything there is poisonous
42:08 <Mekkis> So, I found out htat Australia had a ski corps.
42:17 <Mekkis> Guess where they were first deployed.
42:19 <Steven> whaaaa....
42:39 <Steven> middle east
43:24 <Steven> oh no saharra...
43:37 <Steven> i'm changing my vote to Sahara Desert. 
43:38 <Mekkis> you were right the first time.
43:42 <Steven> fuck.
44:12 <Steven> my snarky answer was right and i doubted it.
45:30 <Mekkis> World war II, supposedly to fight Vichy France
46:08 <Steven> crazy
46:15 <Steven> i'll have to read about it later.
46:33 <Steven> and by later i mean right fucking now cause this is awesome
52:33 <Steven> all my laundry in the Drier...
53:04 <Steven> almost completely done with my packing.
53:14 <Steven> just gotta fold it up and put it away

05:30 <BoomerET> Anyone here familiar w/ D&D 5th Ed?
07:41 <spider21b> not really
07:45 <spider21b> i would love to learn tho
09:12 <BoomerET> I quit playing PF/PFS a couple years ago, just too crunchy for my grouchy self.
12:00 <Brunius> I played a bit in the beta
12:08 <Brunius> Seemed like 3.5 to me
12:40 <BoomerET> I have a question about the Warlock. On pg 106 of the PHB, it looks like a Warlock never gets spells above 5th leve.
13:01 <Brunius> uh
13:04 <Brunius> 5th ed warlock?
13:35 <BoomerET> If you go to: http://boingboing.net/2014/07/21/an-exclusive-look-at-the-new-d.html, and scroll 3/4 way down you'll see the table
13:48 <BoomerET> Yes, D&D 5th Edition warlock
14:38 <Brunius> I have no idea how to read that table
14:40 <Brunius> sorry :S
14:59 <BoomerET> That's because it's wrong.
15:42 <BoomerET> The spell listing goes up to 9th, but that table only goes up to 5th.
16:33 <BoomerET> Odd that I can't find anyone else that has posted anything on the web, unless I'm completely crazy (a definite possibilty)
16:53 <BoomerET> Maybe I should stick to 'Lil Wizards :)
48:55 <spider21b> i wish i could get a game going this week or next

58:10 <Brunius> no
04:02 <Mekkis> you still capped?
05:15 <Brunius> yes
07:48 <s_gmusic> "Pathfinder Player Companion: People of the Stars ... Misc.: androids are not legal for play; ..." What makes that great is that it doesn't have the line "To create [a race], you must have a Chronicle sheet that opens the race as a legal option at character creation."
08:00 <Mekkis> see? you should have downloaded the pron, rather than streaming it. That way you could still watch it while capped!
17:09 <Steven> got a tablet... trying to connect to irc with it.
19:29 <mobilesteve> yay
23:41 <mobilesteve> well i have to open the zip files and load files onto this thing in a slightly annoying way.  but it all works.
24:32 <mobilesteve> and i got it at a discount because they didnt have the keys to open it when i first went in and had to come back like 2 hours later
25:26 <mobilesteve> so.... i got 50 bucks off of a $150 dollar item... lol
25:50 <mobilesteve> alright headed out to get some dinner and go do a run of bonekeep lvl 3 with walter
30:55 <s_gmusic> I used to have AndroIRC for my android phone. worked great as long as I was connected to data.
