18:09:38 <Damalon01> hi all
18:09:58 <Steven> oh god its damalon!
18:10:01 <Steven> run... run now!
18:10:06 <Steven> i mean, sup
18:10:24 <Damalon01> lol hey Steven
18:21:08 <Mekkis> moin
18:34:13 <Avatar> did you play merchant's wake the other day dama
18:42:25 <Damalon01> yeah i played it yesterday
18:42:32 <Avatar> how was it
18:42:53 <Avatar> I think I found a knock off of philderbeast's herolab app
18:42:55 <Damalon01> hmmm it was fine although i think the chase scene was a mess
18:43:19 <Steven> did they run the chase scene correctly?
18:43:28 <Avatar> I usually don't mind chase scenes, it was good when you went through it with us I thought
18:43:51 <Steven> because for me, that chase is probably the best designed in all of PFS.
18:44:00 <Avatar> woooo big claim steven
18:44:17 <Avatar> did walter write this one
18:44:22 <Avatar> or kyle
18:45:01 <Steven> its a modified chase where people actually get to help each other out rather then it basically being 'Did people invest skill points in these 10 skills?!?"
18:45:51 <Damalon01> i think the GM messed up the chase scene. ive run that one and i ran it differently to him.
18:46:21 <Steven> yeah when i played it the GM didnt understand what was happening really.
18:46:32 <Steven> and so several people never made it past the first check.
18:46:55 <Steven> where as I made it to the room and was fighting 2 undead and an assassin on my own.
18:47:05 <Avatar> HA
18:47:23 <Damalon01> lols
18:47:35 <Damalon01> let me check it
18:48:49 <Steven> well for a melee character it is pretty easy, its a CMB check followed by a CMB check a Reflex save, and then a str check.
18:48:57 <Steven> so my character blazed through it
18:49:06 <Steven> the wizards were not so fortunate
18:49:13 <Damalon01> ok its meant to be a group chase
18:49:18 <Damalon01> heres the text:
18:49:19 <Damalon01> Unlike a typical chase, the PCs are not chasing a
18:49:20 <Damalon01> target so much as they are tracking how long it takes for
18:49:20 <Damalon01> them to reach the NPC in danger. What’s more, the PCs
18:49:20 <Damalon01> overcome obstacles as a group and not individually. Each
18:49:20 <Damalon01> PC rolls one of the two checks to overcome the obstacle,
18:49:20 <Damalon01> taking the highest result. Any other PCs’ checks that
18:49:20 <Damalon01> result in a 10 or higher are treated as having used the aid
18:49:20 <Damalon01> another action for the higher result. The exception is the
18:49:20 <Damalon01> assassin’s trap obstacle, which only one PC may attempt.
18:49:27 <Steven> yeah its a modified chase which is fantastic.
18:49:41 <Damalon01> the GM i had didnt run it that way
18:49:52 <Damalon01> he must have misread it, no big deal
18:50:09 <Steven> imo they should never put a traditional chase in another scenario.
18:50:50 <Damalon01> i liked the idea of it being a group roll, meaning there is no way for the group to be split up by it
18:51:42 <Steven> because you always get that one square thats like make an Intimidate check or a CMB check DC 21 or 18 respectively and you have the wizard thats rockin 7str and cha getting mired in the square for 3 rounds.... so much fun.
18:52:33 <Damalon01> hehehe or the cleric with like -6 armour check penalty trying to use climb with no ranks in it cos its not a class skill
18:53:04 <Steven> yeah... so horrible.
18:53:17 <Steven> modified chase rules are pretty awesome though.
18:53:45 <Damalon01> yeah, if only so you can get carried by the more skilled party members :P
18:54:06 <Steven> you mean... as pathfinders we chase someone down... but we cooperate... what is this witchcraft?
18:54:20 <Damalon01> lol yeah
18:59:39 <Avatar> http://www.pfrpg.com.au/pfs.php5
18:59:46 <Avatar> sign off on any newer scenarios you've run/played recently
19:00:07 <Steven> I REFUSE!

19:09:35 <Avatar> game is up
19:10:05 <Damalon01> thanks Av
19:10:39 <Avatar> need to convert my wizard to exploiter wizard ASAP
19:10:53 <Avatar> bit hard when you don't know how to build the damn thing
19:11:30 <Damalon01> lols
19:11:34 <Damalon01> i have no idea
19:14:54 <Avatar> I seem to have this thing with not playing the third part in trilogies
19:15:05 <Avatar> shades of ice part 3 didn't get played till much longer after 1+2
19:15:15 <Avatar> destiny of the sands I've played 1+2 but not 3 yet, that was ages ago
19:15:25 <Avatar> I've played fingerprints and fury but not fate of the fiend
19:15:32 <Avatar> ageser ago
19:16:18 <Damalon01> i tend to miss the second installment in trilogies
19:16:45 <Avatar> erch that sucks
19:17:13 <Damalon01> i missed part 2 in shades of ice
19:17:25 <Avatar> shades 2 is the best!
19:17:41 <Avatar> I played all 3 of quest for perfection together
19:17:46 <Avatar> I don't think that's a coincidence
19:17:51 <Damalon01> lols
19:18:02 <Avatar> I completed that journey yo
19:20:09 <Steven> yup....
19:20:10 <Steven> http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2rf5u?What-is-the-target-audience-for-pfs
19:20:25 <Steven> rant so hard!
19:23:28 <Avatar> he doesn't make his position very clear
19:23:48 <Avatar> can't solve 101 unrelated problems at once
19:23:50 <Steven> no... no they do not.
19:24:51 <Steven> i really like the 'At gencon I was in a sea of priveleged white males, with few minorities and women around'
19:30:27 <Damalon01> interesting little speech he had there. of course since ive been playing PFS ive seen women and 'people of colour' at the table
19:30:50 <Steven> well... he paladin Iconic is black
19:30:52 <Damalon01> and theres a whole faction devoted to the fight for freedom
19:30:54 <Steven> the even
19:31:06 <Damalon01> uh huh
19:31:59 <Steven> there are more then a few transgender, lesbian, bisexual, and gay characters that crop up in PFS scenarios.
19:32:27 <Steven> and there is a pretty even split on VCs when it comes to male/female people in power.
19:33:23 <Steven> but i'm not gonna get into that on the forums... cause i like not being embroiled in forum drama.
19:34:24 <Damalon01> prolly a good idea
19:34:35 <Damalon01> i read Wrath of the Righteous part 1
19:34:59 <Steven> yeah, exactly that sort of thing.
19:35:24 <Damalon01> so i agree with you about the presence of gay characters and transgender
19:36:09 <Steven> there is also some really quite impressive lore revealed in Eyes that i wont go into.
19:36:19 <Steven> but... yeah.
19:36:30 <Damalon01> yeah i havent played Eyes of the 10, no spoilers! :P
19:36:58 <Steven> lets just say the pathfinder society is all about equality.
19:37:30 <Damalon01> well sort of.
19:37:51 <Steven> you can speak to me bout it after you've run through eyes.
19:38:07 <Damalon01> hehehe ok
19:39:08 <Damalon01> i was gonna say its about as equal as a pseudo-medieval setting can be
19:39:43 <Steven> its actually more so.
19:39:55 <Damalon01> yeah prolly
19:40:22 <Damalon01> im only going on what i know, which isnt everything
19:44:31 <Steven> alright, sleep.
19:44:37 <Damalon01> night
