25:44 <Steven> yo
54:47 <Damalon01> back
55:24 <Damalon01> Bazz is gonna come with me to Unicon btw, he plays the Druid Sam Whiteteeth
58:42 <Avatar> sweet
58:51 <Avatar> yeah baz is unmistakable
59:11 <Avatar> just hit level 4
59:30 <Avatar> access to level 1 paladin spells
59:43 <Avatar> assuming 18 cha is enough to get a bonus spell, because you start with 0
59:57 <Damalon01> yep
00:17 <Damalon01> 18 gets you a bonus 1st, a bonus 2nd, a bonus 3rd and a bonus 4th
00:19 <Avatar> wow, 12 is enough to get a bonus
00:29 <Avatar> I always thought you needed 18 for some reason
00:29 <Damalon01> yuppers
00:52 <Avatar> I might be thinking 18+2 to get a second bonus slot at 1st
00:55 <Damalon01> nah you want it more for the bonus to saves, smite evil etc
01:08 <Avatar> !spell hero's defiance
01:10 <diebot> Avatar, HERO'S DEFIANCE conjuration (healing[]) paladin 1 1 immediate action Range: personal you Comp: V Duration: instantaneous Save:  SR:Source: APG
01:10 <diebot> The instant before you are reduced to 0 or fewer hit points, you can expend a use of your lay on hands ability to heal yourself as if you had used lay on hands, plus an additional 1d6 hit points. If this healing brings your hit point total above 0 hit points, you do not fall, and may continue to act. If you have no more uses of lay on hands this
01:11 <diebot> spell has no effect.
01:26 <Mekkis> !spell inheritor's smite
01:27 <diebot> Mekkis, INHERITOR'S SMITE transmutation ([]) cleric/oracle 2, inquisitor 2, paladin 2 1 swift action Range: personal you Comp: V, S, DF Duration: see text Save:  SR:Source: Inner Sea Gods
01:27 <diebot> You channel the power of righteousness into your weapon arm, allowing you to strike with great force. Your next melee attack (if made before the end of your next turn) gains a +5 sacred bonus on the attack roll. If the attack hits, you may immediately attempt a bull rush combat maneuver (with a +5 sacred bonus on your combat maneuver check) against
01:28 <diebot> the target without provoking an attack of opportunity; if your combat maneuver check exceeds the defender's CMD by more than 5, you do not need to move with the target to push it back more than 5 feet.
01:35 <Avatar> mate level 1
01:50 <Mekkis> bless weapon. Can't go wrong with that
01:58 <Avatar> !spell bless weapon
01:59 <diebot> Avatar, BLESS WEAPON transmutation ([]) paladin 1 1 standard action Range: touch weapon touched Comp: V, S Duration: 1 min./level Save: none SR:noSource: PFRPG Core
01:59 <diebot> This transmutation makes a weapon strike true against evil foes. The weapon is treated as having a +1 enhancement bonus for the purpose of bypassing the DR of evil creatures or striking evil incorporeal creatures (though the spell doesn't grant an actual enhancement bonus). The weapon also becomes good-aligned, which means it can bypass the DR of
01:59 <diebot> certain creatures. (This effect overrides and suppresses any other alignment the weapon might have.) Individual arrows or bolts can be transmuted, but affected projectile weapons (such as bows) don't confer the benefit to the projectiles they shoot. In addition, all critical hit rolls against evil foes are automatically successful, so every threat
01:59 <diebot> is a critical hit. This last effect does not apply to any weapon that already has a magical effect related to critical hits, such as a keen weapon or a vorpal sword.
02:53 <Avatar> either strong offense or storng defense
04:03 <Avatar> do paladins know the whole spell list like clerics?
04:08 <Damalon01> yup
04:27 <Damalon01> well my Tengu Ninja just made level 4
04:41 <Avatar> ya I know what that feels like!
21:17 <Damalon01> wooo my ninja's peck attack finally has a +0 attack bonus
25:24 <Steven> sup.

40:48 <Damalon01> Crane Style was changed awhile ago, was it the main style feat or one of the following feats? i think it was one of the later ones
46:44 <Damalon01> ok found it
06:43 <Avatar> yo
07:07 <Brunius> sup
08:36 <Steven> word
19:12 <Brotherdice> Hello
19:50 <Avatar> yo
28:50 <Avatar> sup.
46:02 <Avatar> did you guys see the new series of quests blog post
15:44 <Mekkis> recent?
16:09 <Avatar> yeah, today-recent
16:40 <Avatar> http://paizo.com/paizo/blog/v5748dyo5lgjb?Quests-for-All
16:52 <Avatar> they have rewards now
17:00 <Avatar> but you can only play pregens with them
19:29 <Mekkis> I do think the comments are very interesting
19:44 <Avatar> unbelievable isn't it
20:16 <Avatar> I didn't know what to say to respond to mike's bowing out comment
20:56 <Avatar> oh wait, did he edit the post
21:10 <Avatar> HA 
21:23 <Mekkis> what did it say?
21:57 <Avatar> something along the lines of they release something new and free and they get negative points for it, and he isn't surprised
22:25 <Avatar> and that he wouldn't convince "you and dragnmoon" so he would bow out of that conversation
22:37 <Avatar> I can't tell if he was talking to drogon or me
23:01 <Avatar> it was in that comment that now just says "good luck with the quests and hopefully...."
23:20 <Mekkis> ah
24:03 <Mekkis> wow. 52 comments before in went off-topic. That's a record, probably
26:50 <Avatar> it probably would've went further if mike hadn't cut us off

51:42 <Mekkis> I don't know what Brock's thinking, really. Seems to be 'punish everyone because of powergamers who don't know when to stop'
16:10 <Steven> back.... i know... you're all glad im back.
16:19 <Steven> please try to keep the celebration to a minimum
17:23 <Steven> so how is everyone doing? rockin out?
18:04 <s_gmusic> just found out someone local was trying to use the "Adopted" trait to take a race trait from a race not allowed in Society. started a large argument over if you could or not. :|
18:20 <Brunius> http://www.timecube.com/
19:33 <Steven> what the hell is this?
21:13 <Brunius> If Earth stood still, it would have mid-day, mid-night, sun-up and sun-down as 4 corners. Each rotation of earth has 4 mid-days, 4 mid-nights, 4 sun-ups and 4 sun-downs.
21:24 <Brunius> accept the truth Steven
21:41 <Steven> nah i like living in the cave.
22:30 <Steven> cozy... really... i have a nice shadow puppet theater going on, there is a fire, people hangin out.
22:41 <Steven> fun times ya know.
23:59 s_gmusic has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
24:34 s_gmusic ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
25:13 <Mekkis> Hmmm... This will be a very lively next ten turns in this civ game.
29:24 <Avatar> what trait, what race?
33:41 <s_gmusic> no clue, heard about it second-hand.
34:04 <s_gmusic> !trait adopted
34:13 <s_gmusic> huh. 
34:17 <s_gmusic> anyway: www.d20pfsrd.com/traits/social-traits/adopted
35:33 <s_gmusic> so, that's the description. now, if anyone bothered to read at the time, there's this line in several places on the Additional Resources page:
35:40 <s_gmusic> "Note: Racial feats, racial traits, and racial spells are only available for characters of the assigned race. Racial equipment and magic items can be purchased and used by any race as long as the specific item permits it."
36:42 s_gmusic has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
37:22 s_gmusic ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
38:25 <s_gmusic> that tells me that I can not choose a trait from that race (because it's seen with the sentence stating you need a boon to create a character of that race)
40:27 <Brunius> gandhi got manhattan project and backstabbed you along with france?
41:37 <Avatar> I think adopted does get around that
41:59 <Avatar> specific over general
42:59 <Brunius> sounds like perfect fodder for a 14 million page thread and a developer giving a ruling that clarifies nothing
43:08 <s_gmusic> even if the race is Not Allowed in society, like Goblin, Vishkanya, or Aasimar?
46:28 <Avatar> it's a trait, not a race
46:58 <Avatar> I don't know how crazy the traits are to consider that it might be an oversight
48:21 <Avatar> the fact that adopted isn't outright banned suggests they don't care
06:18 <Mekkis> Brunius, no. Songhai got the UN.
06:27 <Brunius> ah, yeah
06:35 <Brunius> that would be interesting
07:01 <Mekkis> So yeah. six turns before the UN vote
09:19 <Mekkis> problem is that Songhai gets about 2100 gold per turn
09:36 <Brunius> I find Civ's end-game really boring
11:39 <Mekkis> you're not jacking the difficulty up enough - or playing multiplayer
12:14 <Brunius> yeah, I've played multiplayer a couple of times
12:27 <Brunius> just none of my friends are willing to play super long games
12:30 <Brunius> and fair enough
12:40 <Brunius> it's the sort of thing I load up for a few hours a night
13:43 <Mekkis> this one is up for it
44:10 <Brunius> often*
56:52 <Avatar> so it shouldn't go on the list then
13:17 <Mekkis> If you plan to fly in Australia, at least try to act as if you take the threat of terrorism seriously, or you might get hauled off the plane, handed over to the cops, and banned from an airline.
19:00 <Avatar> at least try to act it
19:37 <Avatar> agree on civ's endgame being boring
19:45 <Avatar> by the end of it I am exhausted
19:51 <Avatar> and nothing unpredictable happens
20:15 <Brunius> In my current game, I own half the world, and past-me cleverly turned off science/political/diplomatic victories
21:33 <Mekkis> Avatar, I'm three turns away from someone winning a diplomatic victory.
21:47 <Avatar> na nobody ever wins a diplomatic victory
22:05 <Avatar> why would you turn those off?
24:12 <Mekkis> Avatar, I'm playing on Deity
24:24 <Avatar> ops
24:30 <Avatar> I tried playing on deity once
24:32 <Avatar> didn't get far !
24:56 <Mekkis> I'm three policies away from Cultural Victory
25:21 <Mekkis> Here's some trivia: Looks like they've purged SKR's Monk Ruling.
25:37 <Mekkis> http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2nrci?Sean-K-Reynolds-clarifies-Flurry-of-Blows
25:45 <Mekkis> check the link in the first post
26:59 <Avatar> 404
27:10 <Mekkis> exactly
27:37 <Avatar> was that a FAQ?
27:47 <Avatar> or just a clarification or what
28:02 <Mekkis> it's the whole "a monk can't flurry with a single weapon"
28:03 <Avatar> a deleted thread doesn't necessarily mean anything
28:04 <Mekkis> stuff
28:22 <Avatar> I'm not familiar with it
28:46 <Mekkis> basically, SKR wanted to prevent someone from flurrying with a temple sword
30:17 <Avatar> where is s_gmusic
30:44 <Mekkis> it was back late 2012.
30:45 <Avatar> I started watching transformers before bed last night and thought it was ending soon while I was completely falling asleep, turns out I was only half way through a 3 hour movie
34:22 <Mekkis> Jason had to step in and reverse the rulings
35:43 <Mekkis> http://web.archive.org/web/20120312113855/http://paizo.com/forums/dmtz5drg?Attacking-with-a-weapon
37:28 <Mekkis> Archive.org remembers - the first 50 posts at least
40:04 <Brunius> should I go to the legacy of stonelords game?
41:43 <Brunius> I should shouldn't I
44:43 <Brunius> Avatar: The warhorn link is broken
54:19 <Avatar> sean said he checked in with jason
26:51 <Avatar> what warhorn link
27:38 <Avatar> not stonelords, that one works
27:57 <Avatar> https://warhorn.net/events/melbourne-pfs/schedule/2014/10/05
34:28 <Steven> !throw 1d8

35:30 <Mekkis> Brunius, in most games?
35:42 <Mekkis> Clerics and oracles and people with high UMD aren't that rare
35:57 <Avatar> what are you rolling for
37:22 <Steven> generating loot.
37:45 <Avatar> I'd like some loot
49:27 <Brunius> shit
49:30 <Brunius> what level is bairaq
49:53 <Steven> level 4 in kingmaker.
50:34 <Steven> I can now spend 2 arcane points to increase my crit multiplier by 1 after i know i've crit.
51:21 <Steven> pretty stupid
51:26 <Brunius> 8.2, apparently
05:10 <Mekkis> he might have _said_ that
05:30 <Mekkis> it's a typical thing, where SKR makes a ruling without looking at its consequences
59:25 <Mekkis> http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Rare-Dragon-IMAGES-imbedded-in-MARBLE-STONE-Top-CASINO-Card-TABLE-TOP-WALL-ART-/200948523269?pt=AU_Decor_Furnishing&hash=item2ec9772105
44:58 <s_gmusic> huehuehue
16:56 <Forty-Bot> I'm making an oread monk with the student of stone archetype
17:05 <Forty-Bot> should I take the oread favored class bonus (+1/3 to hit on critical hit confirmation with unarmed strikes)?
17:37 <Forty-Bot> I've read that the monk struggles with damage output compared to the fighter or barbarian, but this seems like less of a boon than +3 hp
17:44 <Forty-Bot> ofc, 15 hp vs +5 to crit makes it seem less clear
23:47 <Avatar> hp 4 lyfe

13:27 <diebot> Mekkis, 30
15:04 <Mekkis> !feat spell perfection
15:05 <diebot> Mekkis, SPELL PERFECTION []Prereq:  Spellcraft 15 ranks, at least three metamagic feats.  You are unequaled at the casting of one particular spell.
15:06 <diebot> Benefit:  Pick one spell which you have the ability to cast. Whenever you cast that spell you may apply any one metamagic feat you have to that spell without affecting its level or casting time, as long as the total modified level of the spell does not use a spell slot above 9th level. In addition, if you have other feats which allow you to apply
15:06 <diebot> a set numerical bonus to any aspect of this spell (such as Spell Focus, Spell Penetration, Weapon Focus [ray], and so on), double the bonus granted by that feat when applied to this spell. Source: APG
15:17 <Mekkis> !feat spell specialisation
15:18 <diebot> Mekkis, SPELL SPECIALIZATION []Prereq:  Int 13, Spell Focus.  Select one spell. You cast that spell with greater than normal power.
15:18 <diebot> Benefit:  Select one spell of a school for which you have taken the Spell Focus feat. Treat your caster level as being two higher for all level-variable effects of the spell. Every time you gain an even level in the spellcasting class you chose your spell from, you can choose a new spell to replace the spell selected with this feat, and that
15:18 <diebot> spell becomes your specialized spell.
15:18 <diebot> Special:  You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a different spell. Source: UM
15:31 <Mekkis> !spell ill omen
15:34 <diebot> Mekkis, ILL OMEN enchantment (compulsion[mind-affecting]) witch 1 1 standard action Range: close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) one creature Comp: V, S, M (hair from a black cat) Duration: 1 round/level or until discharged Save: none SR:yesSource: APG
15:35 <diebot> You afflict the target with bad luck. On the next d20 roll the target makes, it must roll twice and take the less favorable result. For every five caster levels you have, the target must roll twice on an additional d20 roll (to a maximum of five rolls at 20th level). A target who can speak and has at least one free hand and who is aware of the
15:35 <diebot> spell and its effects (such as from a Spellcraft check to identify the spell as it is cast) can negate one reroll by spending a move action to utter a brief prayer or good luck charm to appease the spirits of ill fortune.

27:27 <Damalon01> Hi all
27:40 <Theta> yo
28:12 <Damalon01> hey Theta, im about to run a PFS game for you yeah?
30:12 <Theta> I hope so.
31:14 <Damalon01> should be going ahead
31:26 <Damalon01> i need some stuff from you when youre ready
32:37 <Theta> K. What do you need?
34:27 <Damalon01> lets start with your Skype details
34:32 <Damalon01> please
35:21 <Theta> ihatetryingtofindnewscreennames is the username
35:32 <Theta> i might have been drunk and irritable when i first set it up
37:09 <Damalon01> we will continue on skype to avoid annoying all these fine people
37:13 Damalon01 has quit (Quit: )
37:27 <Theta> psh. like they have anything better to do
38:12 <Damalon01> hehehe
45:50 <Mekkis> yeah. Finding new distractions to stop me equipping my character is important
49:22 <Mekkis> I should write another article on the site
03:11 <Mekkis> Willing myself out of the hole, still gripping the rope, my mother's words echoing in my head, "The multiverse was not designed for overlapping dimensions". The powdered corn, as fine as talc, slides over the rope, and the parchment bursts in a flash as I recite the well-rehearsed words. As the spell is released, I will myself as far away as possible.
03:11 <Mekkis> I am falling.
03:11 <Mekkis> I see a flash of light.
03:11 <Mekkis> As I am drawn towards the vortex of my own creation, one final thought crosses through my mind:
03:11 <Mekkis> Will anyone remember my sacrifice?
