02:15 <mib_44b56d> i found pathfinder through a youtube channel and i found it really interested. I was a RPG (mostly final fantasy) and MMORPG player but always online and it seems i discovered this all new world of people who take it to the next level. 
03:04 <mib_44b56d> So i was wondering if anyone could explain me a little bit of the game and how to find a group to play (if there is even players in Portugal)
04:23 <mib_44b56d> i read some guides but mostly on the classes and how to build them. And never played with anyone. 
06:42 <mib_44b56d> Well i guess no one is here
06:52 <mib_44b56d> i will try to pass by another time
06:59 <mib_44b56d> thank you for your time anyway

06:28 <Mekkis> !spell Earth Glide
06:31 <diebot> Mekkis, EARTH GLIDE transmutation ([earth]) alchemist 4, druid 4, sorcerer/wizard 4 1 standard action Range: touch creature touched Comp: V, S Duration: 1 round/level Save: Will negates (harmless) SR:yes (harmless)Source: Advanced Race Guide
06:31 <diebot> The target can pass through stone, dirt, or almost any other sort of earth except metal as easily as a fish swims through water, traveling at a speed of 5 feet. If protected against fire damage, it can move through lava. This movement leaves behind no tunnel or hole, nor does it create any ripple or other sign of its presence. It requires as much
06:31 <diebot> concentration as walking, so the subject can attack or cast spells normally, but cannot charge or run. Casting move earth on an area containing the target flings the target back 30 feet, stunning it for 1 round (DC 15 Fortitude negates). This spell does not give the target the ability to breathe underground, so when passing through solid material,
06:31 <diebot> the creature must hold its breath.
09:08 <Mekkis> !spell blast barrier
09:09 <diebot> Mekkis, BLAST BARRIER transmutation ([sonic]) druid 4, ranger 3, sorcerer/wizard 3, witch 4 1 standard action Range: close (25 ft. + 5ft./2 levels)  Comp: V, S, M (handful of snow, earth, or gravel) Duration: concentration, up to 1 round/2 levels Save: Reflex half (see below) SR:yes (see below)Source: Inner Sea Magic
09:10 <diebot> The description is too long to send over IRC. View http://nl.ti4200.info/vpsirc/spells/blast_barrier.html
22:38 <Mekkis> !spell 
22:39 <diebot> Mekkis, AID enchantment (compulsion[mind-affecting]) cleric/oracle 2, inquisitor 2, alchemist 2 1 standard action Range: touch living creature touched Comp: V, S, DF Duration: 1 min./level Save: none SR:yes (harmless)Source: PFRPG Core
22:39 <diebot> Aid grants the target a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and saves against fear effects, plus temporary hit points equal to 1d8 + caster level (to a maximum of 1d8+10 temporary hit points at caster level 10th).
22:45 <Mekkis> !spell Stone Fist
22:46 <diebot> Mekkis, STONE FIST transmutation ([earth]) alchemist 1, druid 1, sorcerer/wizard 1, magus 1 1 standard action Range: personal you Comp: V, S, M (a chip of granite) Duration: 1 minute/level (D) Save:  SR:Source: APG
22:46 <diebot> This spell transforms your hands into living stone. While this spell is in effect, your unarmed strikes do not provoke attacks of opportunity and deal 1d6 points of lethal bludgeoning damage (1d4 if you are Small). In addition, your unarmed strikes ignore the hardness of any object with a hardness less than 8. Stone to flesh immediately dispels
22:47 <diebot> stone fist. Should you be the target of transmute rock to mud, this spell immediately ends and you take 4d6 points of damage.
35:03 <Mekkis> !spell comprehend language 
35:04 <diebot> Mekkis, COMPREHEND LANGUAGES divination ([]) bard 1, cleric/oracle 1, sorcerer/wizard 1, witch 1, inquisitor 1, alchemist 1 1 standard action Range: personal you Comp: V, S, M/DF (pinch of soot and salt) Duration: 10 min./level Save:  SR:Source: PFRPG Core
35:04 <diebot> You can understand the spoken words of creatures or read otherwise incomprehensible written messages. The ability to read does not necessarily impart insight into the material, merely its literal meaning. The spell enables you to understand or read an unknown language, not speak or write it. Written material can be read at the rate of one page (250
35:04 <diebot> words) per minute. Magical writing cannot be read, though the spell reveals that it is magical. This spell can be foiled by certain warding magic (such as the secret page and illusory script spells). It does not decipher codes or reveal messages concealed in otherwise normal text. Comprehend languages can be made permanent with a permanency spell.

07:48 <Mekkis> !spell Strong Wings
07:49 <diebot> Mekkis, STRONG WINGS transmutation ([]) druid 1, ranger 1, sorcerer/wizard 1, witch 1 1 standard action Range: touch creature touched Comp: V, S Duration: 1 minute/level Save: Fortitude negates (harmless) SR:yes (harmless)Source: Advanced Race Guide
07:49 <diebot> The target's wings grow more powerful, causing its fly speed to increase by +10 feet and its maneuverability to improve by one category (to a maximum of good). This increase counts as an enhancement bonus. This spell has no effect on wingless creatures or winged creatures that cannot f ly.

01:36 <Avatar> yo
05:27 <Brunius> sup sup
05:30 <Brunius> how was the special?
05:38 <Mekkis> Avatar, how was unicon
09:29 <Avatar> stressful
09:46 <Avatar> a couple of tables choked, including damalon's
09:51 <Avatar> he wasn't happy
10:12 <Avatar> weren't you there? I could have sworn I saw you
10:57 <Avatar> and I thought I you sign up, but maybe I am seeing thing
10:58 <Avatar> s
13:26 <Avatar> Mekkis: I remembered to get your mug at the end of the day, but if the guy was still around, I couldn't find him
13:43 <Avatar> gitch sort of knew of him and where he was, but another guy who was down there didn't know what I was talking about
13:48 <Avatar> and the place was empty
13:54 <Avatar> this morning was chaos trying to get ready
20:23 <Avatar> good, had no time to get the mug though
20:40 <Avatar> damalon quit PFS after his table choked at the end of the special
22:08 <Mekkis> choked?
22:18 txtsd ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
22:26 <Avatar> have you played it
22:39 <Mekkis> yep
22:48 <Avatar> his table didn't escape in time
23:09 <Mekkis> ah. Were there slow players on the table?
23:18 <Mekkis> Was the GM ALG?
23:20 <Brunius> was he the one that complained about the special in january?
23:34 <Avatar> he said he expected there to be more afterwards to allow them an actual escape
23:47 <Avatar> but that didn't happen, so they turned into statues
23:55 <Brunius> I wasn't there
24:01 <Avatar> I don't know
24:10 <Avatar> I complained about the special in january
24:13 <Avatar> ops
24:24 <Avatar> I don't think I will opt in to GM another special
24:33 <Avatar> jena was the GM, but it doesn't sound like she did anything wrong
24:34 <Brunius> too muc h stress?
24:41 <Avatar> apparently my table liked it, but I made a lot of blunders
24:45 <Avatar> the table got time warnings apparently
25:00 <Avatar> from andrei as well, and my table heard the exact same warning and they knew what to do
25:09 <Avatar> I was actually surprised that they seemed to really like it
25:09 <Avatar> he was on the 7-8 table
25:18 <Avatar> (there wasn't a 10-11)
25:37 <Avatar> it really felt nothing like GMing a scenario
25:48 <Avatar> I'm glad I did it once, but frankly there were a lot of volunteers anyway
26:48 <Avatar> the one thing I am really not good at with GMing is time pressure
27:23 <Avatar> my prep was garbage too, if one of the other GMs didn't print out all the stat blocks, I probably couldn't have ran it, he did a pretty amazing job for every tier
27:44 <Avatar> we were all running on 5 hours of sleep or less
28:13 <Avatar> stephen was doing up the maps, he even laminated them, and that was at past-midnight last night

11:38 <Avatar> not sure how I even missed that stat block prep, they are all on the pfs prep site, not even hard to find
11:48 <Avatar> I think I even remember looking at it while I was at work
18:47 <Avatar> anyone know the stats for ratfolk off the top of your head
20:06 <Avatar> +2 dex +2 int -2 str
22:34 <Mekkis> I charged THE SUN
32:06 <Avatar> what has that got to do with anything
34:48 <eastallegheny> hello
35:54 <Mekkis> Avatar, keep in mind what happened with Andrew Dynan during Runecarved Key...
36:56 <Avatar> yo
39:22 <eastallegheny> how are you?
40:17 <Avatar> oh fantastic
40:54 <eastallegheny> really? or is that sarcasm?
41:26 <Mekkis> In that situation, we didn't actually get an action between the time warning and the time expiration...
42:46 <Avatar> no I am fantastic on a regular basis
43:14 <Avatar> are you talking about the first encounter?
43:19 <Avatar> or the one where he died
43:27 <eastallegheny> ah
43:40 <eastallegheny> So is this a good place to find people to play Pathfinder with?
43:44 <Avatar> in either case, legacy wasn't like that, they had ample opportunity to get out
44:50 <Avatar> I don't really get it because he thinks both that box text shouldn't have killed their characters like that, and that death feels cheapened when you get just get yourself back so easily
44:58 <Avatar> to me, those things cancel each other out
46:14 <Avatar> http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2rkef?I-Choose-to-Stay-Dead
46:59 <Avatar> if it was a 16 prestige cost I might be a bit more sympathetic
47:11 <Avatar> all of us play pathfinder
47:18 <Avatar> for 2 prestige it seems like a silly thing to worry about
47:21 <eastallegheny> I've never played but I'd like to learn/play
47:31 <Avatar> have you registered on the site
47:42 <eastallegheny> No?
47:53 <Avatar> do that first, so you can get sent invites to games
48:11 <eastallegheny> I think I followed a link from somewhere else to get to this room (or else I've closed the wrong tab), what's the site?
48:33 <Avatar> www.pfrpg.com.au
48:38 <eastallegheny> ty
48:41 <Avatar> register there, then have a read through of this: http://pathfindersocietyonline.com/gettingstarted/aboutpfs/
54:52 <eastallegheny> so do i need a pfs number?
58:35 <Avatar> yeah
59:14 <Avatar> so basically you need to register on www.paizo.com as well
59:42 <eastallegheny> ok
59:45 <eastallegheny> i've done that
59:50 <Avatar> nice
14:24 <eastallegheny> I should build a character now, huh
16:54 <Avatar> yep
17:05 <Avatar> or you use one that's already done up and create your own later
17:21 <eastallegheny> Hmm
22:01 <Avatar> creating a character is one of the more fun parts of the game, so if you have the time, you're better off giving it a go
22:48 <eastallegheny> Yeah, I just need to have a decent read of /how/ to do it
23:04 <eastallegheny> but it's one in the morning and I'm starting to have trouble focusing, so I think I might go t obed
23:29 <Avatar> supercool
23:38 <Avatar> where are you located
25:29 <eastallegheny> new zealand
05:11 <Avatar> im from portugal !!
12:48 <Mekkis> I'm not!
13:03 <Mekkis> how's Unicon going? Did you get a big mug for me?
13:35 <Avatar> oh I forgot all about that
13:37 <Avatar> what kind of mug did you want?
14:15 <Mekkis> the big one
14:22 <Mekkis> beer stein style
14:34 <Avatar> might need to be more specific
15:17 <Mekkis> with http://nl.ti4200.info/~mekkis/cupDesign2.svg on it
15:40 <Avatar> that's a blank page
15:51 <Avatar> is that an image
17:48 <Avatar> are there any items that add + to speed?
17:56 <Avatar> apart from boots of springing and striding
18:20 <Avatar> I don't want to have to dip a level into something, but 20ft speed is driving me crazy
18:43 <Mekkis> http://nl.ti4200.info/~mekkis/cupdesign2.pdf
18:56 <Mekkis> a mount
19:13 <Avatar> a mount would've gotten me and the party killed today
19:27 <Avatar> are there similar designs to that or can I just look for elvish with "latte" on it
19:50 <Avatar> wtm bpbmq
20:23 <Mekkis> ?
21:17 <Mekkis> it should be elvish with 'latte' on it. If you put it on a USB stick, he'll get it onto a mug
21:56 <Avatar> it's not already on there?
22:02 <Avatar> I don't think I have a spare usb stick
22:40 <Cascus> #help
23:09 <Avatar> will he do it same-day?
24:38 <Avatar> hallo ?
28:49 <Mekkis> yeah
28:58 <Mekkis> it's not already there.
29:05 <Avatar> ok
29:18 <Avatar> I haven't seen anyone there selling mugs so I can't guarantee I will find it
29:25 <Avatar> I found a usb stick
04:09 <Steven> hey guys
07:01 <Steven> yo avatar. you here?
27:07 <Steven> nevermind i found a link to what i needed.
42:02 <Avatar> what has that got to do with anything
51:23 <Mekkis> In that situation, we didn't actually get an action between the time warning and the time expiration...
53:10 <Avatar> are you talking about the first encounter?
53:15 <Avatar> or the one where he died
53:41 <Avatar> in either case, legacy wasn't like that, they had ample opportunity to get out
54:46 <Avatar> I don't really get it because he thinks both that box text shouldn't have killed their characters like that, and that death feels cheapened when you get just get yourself back so easily
54:55 <Avatar> to me, those things cancel each other out
56:10 <Avatar> http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2rkef?I-Choose-to-Stay-Dead
56:55 <Avatar> if it was a 16 prestige cost I might be a bit more sympathetic
57:15 <Avatar> for 2 prestige it seems like a silly thing to worry about
00:34 <eastallegheny> Right. I think I've sorted a character... how do I find a game?
02:00 <eastallegheny> (and someone to explain to me what a couple of these stats are?)
04:37 <eastallegheny> This room is very inactive. 
04:53 <Avatar> we've got a lot of tables that have several GMs for one slot, and a few 7 player tables
05:46 <Avatar> apparently the "need a table?" thing that was done on warhorn last year didn't work well
09:34 <eastallegheny> Hello
10:56 <Mekkis> at Springcon, they basically offered two scenarios each slot. So it was a bitch to muster
11:09 <Avatar> yo
15:02 <eastallegheny> So I'm starting to (try) to create my character
15:45 <Avatar> similar story here
16:11 <Avatar> I think we might find we'll need a backup, and nobody will want to GM
16:58 <eastallegheny> would an elf rogue be too stupid?
17:27 <Avatar> although stephen usually doesn't put himself to GM a table anymore, and acts as a backup
18:01 <Avatar> he's been playing a lot more recently, which is good because it's easy to forget how good a player he is
18:17 <Avatar> especially with his bizarro underpowered characters
19:15 <Avatar> nothing's too stupid, but rogues are generally considered a tricky class to play
20:25 <eastallegheny> yeah?
21:25 <Mekkis> we don't have a lack of people who want to GM...
21:38 <Avatar> you'd regularly need to find flanks with other party members who have weapons, and when you're next to an enemy, you'll only be wearing light armor
22:43 <Avatar> who like to run cold, you mean
29:34 <Avatar> ???
29:55 <Mekkis> yes, unfortunately
33:22 <eastallegheny> hmm
33:25 <eastallegheny> perhaps a ranger then
33:42 <eastallegheny> ...even when i play video games i prefer ranged weapons because i'm shit at close range fighting, haha. 
43:11 <Avatar> my printer is printing maps very badly
44:25 <Avatar> I have sort of forgotten to have breakfast
44:42 <Avatar> that's a rather big mistake because my belly gets upset if it does not get fed !!
46:07 <Mekkis> hn
46:30 <Mekkis> Protip: Robots do NOT have spell immunity
48:02 <Avatar> that's not really a protip
48:06 <Avatar> that's more of a knowledge check
