25:20 <Avatar> subtier 1-2 I think
25:45 <Mekkis> played it, and I'm not getting up at 7am
25:58 <Avatar> see the sunrise
26:39 <Avatar> is magical lineage the only thing that will reduce a metamagic level
27:20 <Mekkis> There's also Wayang Spellhunter
28:43 <Avatar> Chai isn't a wayang
28:49 <Avatar> half-elf
29:48 <Avatar> I might have to burn an extra trait boon
30:42 <Mekkis> ?
31:02 <Mekkis> Have we seen Ballig this quarter?
35:36 <Mekkis> what spell are you abusing?
36:17 <Avatar> magic missile/toppling
40:25 <Mekkis> !feat toppling spell
40:26 <diebot> Mekkis, TOPPLING SPELL [Metamagic] Your spells with the force descriptor knock the affected creatures prone.
40:26 <diebot> Benefit:  The impact of your force spell is strong enough to knock the target prone. If the target takes damage, fails its saving throw, or is moved by your force spell, make a trip check against the target, using your caster level plus your casting ability score bonus (Wisdom for clerics, Intelligence for wizards, and so on). This does not
40:26 <diebot> provoke an attack of opportunity. If the check fails, the target cannot attempt to trip you or the force effect in response. A toppling spell only affects spells with the force descriptor. A toppling spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell's actual level. Source: UM
42:01 <Avatar> he's right there
45:32 <Mekkis> why do you need more than a -1?
00:47 <Mekkis> him being in IRC doesn't count
15:47 <Avatar> I don't need more than -1
15:59 <Avatar> I just have two other traits that aren't magical lineage that I'd really like to take
42:17 <Mekkis> do you have that boon that lets you take one free trait from Dragon Empires Primer?

02:14 <Lintor> slave ships is the new one right?
02:21 <Lintor> eh i needs sleep

24:49 <Avatar> yep
25:18 <Avatar> Mekkis: don't think so, where's that?
40:56 <s_gmusic> hm... thought I read in one of the bag's descriptions that you couldn't. 
41:44 <Avatar> !item bag of holding
41:48 <diebot> Avatar, BAG OF DEVOURING [strong conjuration] CL:17 none 0gp, 15lb
41:48 <diebot> The description is too long to send over IRC. View http://nl.ti4200.info/vpsirc/items/bag_of_devouring.html
42:05 <s_gmusic> next question: would Teleport effects work from within the bag to outside of it? could I stash a bunch of +1 Calling [Weapons] in a Bag of Holding (or Handy Haversack) and Call them as needed?
42:09 <Avatar> looks like it'll devour it
42:33 <Avatar> "sharp objects can pierce it"
42:40 <Avatar> I don't think that happens unless it's done directly to it
42:57 <Avatar> that line is intended for if you need to break it open or get out of it
43:02 <Avatar> not just for storing sharp objects in it
43:46 <Avatar> teleport should work
45:45 <s_gmusic> part of bag of holding description on d20pfsrd: " if sharp objects pierce it (from inside or outside), "
45:55 <s_gmusic> so no weapons inside unless sheathed. :(
46:54 <Avatar> that's if someone is inside trying to slice it open
47:07 <Avatar> or outside doing the same thing
47:51 <s_gmusic> was thinking of a fighter character that would do just that, carry an arsenal of weapons and then teleport them in hand as needed. would be expensive, but being a walking weapon shop could be funny.
49:24 <Avatar> putting calling on them wouldn't be cheap?
49:50 <Avatar> is that a +1 enchantment
50:27 <s_gmusic> yeah, so I'd be buying a bunch of +2 weapons.
51:05 <Avatar> do you have that kind of spare change
51:24 <s_gmusic> It would be something to work towards.
51:28 <s_gmusic> ..>
51:31 <s_gmusic> <.<
56:56 <Avatar> good luck with that
57:22 <Avatar> there's a game of slave ships of absalom happening in 15 minutes if you're keen

40:33 <Avatar> there's a guy in our party who's playing a ninja, and in hangouts, his webcam is on and he's wearing a black shirt and black cap
40:40 <Avatar> so he is basically a ninja in real life
03:34 <Mekkis> umm...
03:52 <Mekkis> you know that it takes a little more than a black shirt and cap to be a ninja... don't you?
04:39 <Avatar> he speaks with a good tien accent too
04:46 <Avatar> can I use toppling spell from a magic missile wand?
05:15 <Mekkis> not in Pathfinder, yet, unless they've released a certain feat/item that Tsun was abusing back in Squirrel's Run
05:24 <Mekkis> !findchar Tsun
05:33 <diebot> Mekkis, Character: Tsun. number: 178( http://www.pfrpg.com.au/viewchar.php5?char=178 )
05:46 <Avatar> I don't think I've thought through how I'm going to deal with encounters and my limited selection of spells
06:02 <Mekkis> Simple.
06:16 <Mekkis> Wait.
07:34 <Avatar> you're not flatfooted if you're prone, are you
07:38 <Mekkis> nope
07:43 <Avatar> kind of silly!
08:04 <Mekkis> don't waste your money on a wand of magic missiles: it'll be useless once you hit level 3
08:09 <Mekkis> What feat should my skillmonkey eidolon get?
08:41 <Avatar> I am already level 3
08:49 <Avatar> this character had GM credit on it
08:53 <Mekkis> and you're still running out of spells?
09:08 <Avatar> well I will be in short order
09:27 <Avatar> 4 magic missiles doesn't go a long way in a day
09:46 <Mekkis> true: consider spells that have more of an impact
10:33 <Avatar> those magic missiles have the most impact
10:40 <Avatar> they are the definition of 'impact' in fact
10:47 <Mekkis> heh
12:19 <Mekkis> hehe. Brock got caught in a flamewar
19:49 <Mekkis> what I mean is that your wizard should consider finding a spell that has a more lasting impact - one that gives you several rounds' worth of effect for a single slot - at least at lower levels, where you are burning through slots a fair amount
20:14 <Avatar> I've got glitterdust and create pit
21:51 <Mekkis> well, just ration it, remember that there's no shame in delaying a lot.
22:12 <Mekkis> remember to buy the shovel.
24:36 <Avatar> shovel?
24:48 <Avatar> is that the staff
25:51 <Mekkis> no, it's the expensive material focus for Create Pit. Without it, you can't cast the spell.
33:33 <Avatar> what value does the spell component pouch carry
34:34 <Mekkis> only things with negligible value
34:51 <Mekkis> unless you buy it and note it on your sheet
35:51 <Avatar> so any gp value has to be purchased
35:55 <Avatar> that does make sense
36:21 <Avatar> does it have to be noted on your sheet? don't you just spend the gp when you cast it
36:29 <Avatar> is there a ruling somewhere on that
36:39 <Mekkis> it's a focus
36:45 <Mekkis> you don't lose it when casting
36:52 <Mekkis> and the rule is in the core rulebook
37:48 <Avatar> skill focus

46:36 <Mekkis> Finished Civ V on Deity!
46:44 <Mekkis> Diplomatic Victory
11:08 <Avatar> where?
12:47 <Mekkis> moin
13:55 <Mekkis>   Focus (F): A focus component is a prop of some sort.
13:55 <Mekkis> Unlike a material component, a focus is not consumed
13:55 <Mekkis> when the spell is cast and can be reused. As with
13:55 <Mekkis> material components, the cost for a focus is negligible
13:55 <Mekkis> unless a price is given. Assume that focus components of
13:55 <Mekkis> negligible cost are in your spell component pouch.
13:58 <Mekkis> p214
27:47 <Lintor> herro
06:42 <Mekkis> Wo ist Brunius` unt Raine?
12:58 <Avatar> <?deafened
12:58 <diebot> A deafened character cannot hear. He takes a 4 penalty on initiative checks, automatically fails Perception checks based on sound, takes a 4 penalty on opposed Perception checks, and has a 20% chance of spell failure when casting spells with verbal components. Characters who remain deafened for a long time grow accustomed to these drawbacks and can
12:59 <diebot> overcome some of them.
16:08 <Lintor> what ya up to avatar
26:51 <Mekkis> !findchar nameless one
26:55 <diebot> Mekkis, Character: nameless one.
27:12 <Avatar> slave ships of absalom
27:18 <Mekkis> !findchar nameless one
27:19 <diebot> Mekkis, Character: nameless one.
27:31 <Lintor> cool
28:23 <Avatar> we've got a really terrible party mix
28:32 <Avatar> two wizards, a ninja and an investigator
29:20 <Lintor> ewwwww
29:22 <Avatar> I was going to play a paladin except he's level 4 and these guys are all level 1, and damion pulled out of the game after unicon
29:51 <Lintor> anyone know what issues he had?
30:28 <Lintor> he seemed fine all con had not heard a single complaint from him then all the sudden boom facebook leaving message
48:49 <Avatar> <?blinded
48:49 <diebot> The creature cannot see. It takes a 2 penalty to Armor Class, loses its Dexterity bonus to AC (if any), and takes a 4 penalty on most Strength- and Dexterity-based skill checks and on opposed Perception skill checks. All checks and activities that rely on vision (such as reading and Perception checks based on sight) automatically fail. All
48:49 <diebot> opponents are considered to have total concealment (50% miss chance) against the blinded character. Blind creatures must make a DC 10 Acrobatics skill check to move faster than half speed. Creatures that fail this check fall prone. Characters who remain blinded for a long time grow accustomed to these drawbacks and can overcome some of them.
03:56 <Avatar> Lintor: http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2rkef?I-Choose-to-Stay-Dead
04:40 <Mekkis> again, since he removed all his reviews, I don't know what issues he had
04:56 <Mekkis> That being said, I think Philderbeast's comments are really uncalled for
06:42 <Mekkis> "Reading some other the other reviews you wrote, it appears half your issue is with some of the GM's you have played with, and knowing some of the Gm's in Melbourne I'm not particularly surprised. the other half is poor scenarios and unfortunately that's going to happen."
08:33 <Mekkis> you know, it's like the GMs in Melbourne actually try to encourage roleplaying. What the hell guys?
10:40 <Mekkis> Case in point: Shadow's last stand II. He walks into a tavern, goes up to the bartender. "I intimidate him to get information about the Spider. I get a 32."
10:52 <Mekkis> "What are you actually doing?"
10:57 <Mekkis> "I'm intimidating him"
11:02 <Mekkis> "But how.."
11:08 <Mekkis> ...
11:25 <Mekkis> (turns out that that noone in the tavern has the information in the first place)
16:51 <Avatar> oh wow I didn't notice that
33:53 <Lintor> yeah listing death issues and then refrencing bone keep is a bit of a joke. all the melbourne Gm's really ram home how lethal those games are ment to be as well
43:25 <Avatar> gg
45:27 <Lintor> hmmm i think i maybe a jerk because bone keep no sympathy. the special was prehaps my fav special so far and every other table got the idea to bail so i think its on him. throaty mermaid how the hell do you die in box text in that mermaid was fun and easy from what i remember. i figure d he must have had a ashley scale shafting.
46:14 <Avatar> two tables didn't make it out
46:18 <Avatar> not sure what happened to the 1-2 table
47:18 <Avatar> shaun does run deadly scenarios
47:40 <Lintor> the 1-2 didn't leave so the got stoned
48:15 <Lintor> the high table didnt ether except spam who told them i dont care i am leaving laters
49:20 <Avatar> I just don't think the end can really be seen as that bad
49:29 <Avatar> if it was a 16 prestige recovery, that might be a different story
49:43 <Avatar> but the final act isn't even terribly difficult
50:10 <Avatar> you can lose every single encounter to not gain any successes and still get out of there okay
50:14 <Lintor> yeah a 2 pp recovery makes it sorta oh well i dun goofed lets not do that again lvl
50:39 <Avatar> damion said he expected there to be something after the time ran out
51:08 <Avatar> not sure who to apply my stonelords credit to
51:14 <Avatar> it sounded like andrei communicated it the same way at every table
51:21 <Avatar> my table was well aware of it
51:24 <Avatar> too many characters
51:35 <Lintor> they brow beat you with warnings as well. i feel that was all on his table. i think we were first or second to call it. that may have happened because i told my table i am leaving have fun continuing without me if you wanna keep going
51:47 <Avatar> I don't think daniel or jena would've suggested they're fine with time
52:17 <Lintor> they didn't spam left on jenas table he said you guys are stupid and left so he got to live
52:31 <Avatar> I think they were coming up to the room with the trapped dwarves when the 5 minute warning came around
52:35 <Avatar> so they felt they had to help them
53:03 <Avatar> who is spam
53:11 <Lintor> nathan
53:17 <Lintor> one of the geelong guys
54:42 <Mekkis> we did it pretty quickly 
54:54 <Mekkis> (also killed the big bad)
55:17 <Mekkis> avatar, have you prepped any season 6 stuff?
56:18 <Avatar> no, I only played trial by machine at unicon and slave ships just now
56:36 <Avatar> do you want me to
