02:53:19 <diebot> Mekkis, SADIST'S LASH [strong abjuration and conjuration] CL:11 none 22301gp, 1lb
02:53:19 <diebot> A sadist's lash is a long whip of thin strips of leather. Created originally by a special sect of wizards who served under Runelord Sorshen, sadist's lashes swiftly became quite popular throughout Thassilon. The lash acts as a +1 wounding whip, and also aids enchantment spells in two ways. First, it can deliver enchantment spells with a range of
02:53:20 <diebot> touch as if the wielder had touched the creature struck. Additionally, any creature that takes damage from a sadist's lash takes a -5 penalty on Will saves against all enchantment effects created by the wielder of the lash for 1 minute unless it succeeds at a DC 15 Will save.

03:44:10 <Mekkis> Steven, can I get a reference that either allows or disallows crafting a Phylactary of Positive Channelling that gives +2 to wisdom in PFS?
03:53:23 <s_gmusic> how would it give WIS +2?
03:56:28 <Mekkis> because of p553.
03:56:32 <Mekkis> Adding new abilities
04:06:33 <Avatar> anyone know where to get ebooks on the cheap
04:06:40 <Avatar> not amazon
04:21:40 <s_gmusic> most of what I'm finding (though no dev post yet) is that you can not do that because it would be considered a "custom" item and those ain't allowed in PFS
04:23:23 <s_gmusic> a VL says the same when someone asks about a similar example.

04:25:24 <Mekkis> Avatar, I generally manage it after lunch.
04:36:10 <Mekkis> Hey Brunius
04:36:16 <Brunius> what up
04:36:41 <Mekkis> Standard Things
04:37:34 <Mekkis> Work
04:37:42 <Mekkis> Yourself? Nearly done with highschool?
04:38:14 <Mekkis> Need to pack for Brisbane
04:38:48 <Mekkis> Avatar, irc.undernet.org?
04:38:52 <Mekkis> in #bookz
04:39:35 <Avatar> brand new ebooks
04:39:43 <Avatar> like pre-order today, out tomorrow
04:52:04 <Brunius> One more exam, tomorrow
04:52:13 <Brunius> Then I'm free to waste time in my own inventive ways
04:57:04 <Mekkis> Yay
04:57:11 <Mekkis> What's your plan after that?
05:00:57 <Brunius> go to uni, become a cog in the corporate machine
05:05:39 <Avatar> you don't have to be online
05:05:43 <Avatar> you weren't online when I messaged you
05:06:00 <Avatar> Brunius: pathfinder, you mean !
05:07:45 <Mekkis> Brunius, Which uni, which company, which machine?
05:08:02 <Mekkis> Some machines aren't bad to be cogs in.
05:08:07 <Brunius> Swinburne, THE MAN
05:08:18 <Avatar> yeah sorry I saw that this morning
05:09:14 <Mekkis> Which MAN?
05:09:24 <Brunius> you know
05:09:25 <Brunius> THE man
05:10:15 <Mekkis> There are several of them
05:11:37 <Mekkis> And which machine
05:16:32 <Mekkis> (which subject, at least)
05:16:46 <Brunius> Bachelor of Engineering (Robotics and Mechatronics)
05:16:49 <Mekkis> Please tell me it doesn't have the word 'game' in the title
05:16:58 <Brunius> Ideally a double degree with Computer Science
05:17:11 <Mekkis> Oh? One of my cousins did that, at RMIT
05:17:29 <Brunius> I considered RMIT, but their course didn't seem as interesting
05:17:34 <Brunius> at least from the open days
05:19:48 <Mekkis> Fair enough. Planning on doing the commute?
05:20:41 <Brunius> Yeah, should be moving in to ringwood though
05:20:48 <Brunius> so I might start playing PFS there, too
05:21:06 <Avatar> they don't allow PFS at ringwood anymore
05:21:13 <Brunius> why>
05:21:15 <Brunius> ?
05:21:44 <Avatar> I think they wanted to be a cards game only store
05:21:58 <Brunius> classic
05:22:14 <Mekkis> Ringwood is where Blackburn moved?
05:22:22 <Brunius> Blackburn moved to Box Hill
05:22:31 <Brunius> Ringwood is uhhh
05:22:33 <Brunius> Next Level?
05:22:38 <Avatar> I think secretly ringwood had an issue with the noise level
05:22:58 <Mekkis> oh
05:23:06 <Mekkis> Then why not kick out Yugiyo?
05:23:31 <Avatar> I don't know what that is
05:23:54 <Avatar> I did notice we were always the loudest people in there, even when we weren't really being "loud" per se
05:24:03 <Avatar> the other tables were always really quiet, which was why we liked it
05:24:13 <Mekkis> That would explain it
05:24:15 <Avatar> unlike box hill
05:24:25 <Avatar> that's not what they said to stephen though
05:24:32 <Mekkis> Avatar, the trading card game people play before they realise that Magic is much better
05:24:54 <Mekkis> To be fair, PFS doesn't bring much revenue for the game store
05:24:58 <Brunius> I'm told that magic is the tcg that people play before they realise l5r is much better
05:26:03 <Mekkis> Brunius, perhaps
05:26:17 <Avatar> I went up to buy some water at the beginning of that game, and the girl seemed reluctant to serve me, and when she did, she asked me if we had planned the game last minute, because they wanted to know in advance that we were coming
05:26:52 <Mekkis> But you have to realise that Magic is the only TCG that's been able to support itself without relying on some other product tie-in.
05:30:27 <Mekkis> So Brunius, what have you planned for the next three months? I have some suggestions...
06:00:19 <Steven> alright 18731g to spend, and i can craft wonderous item
06:00:28 <Steven> wondrous item even.
06:00:36 <Steven> time to find something useful to craft
06:03:56 <Steven> level 9 psychic
06:07:04 <Steven> suppose i could craft my headband up to a +6
06:44:53 <Mekkis> nope, can't help you
06:54:06 <Avatar> thx anyway
07:00:54 <Avatar> holy ice seems like a very high spell level for what it does
07:01:04 <Avatar> sounds like it's almost akin to produce flame
07:01:20 <Avatar> a bit more for the ice wall
07:01:34 <Mekkis_x200> seriously? It was awesome today
07:01:50 <Mekkis_x200> fire up to 15 ice bolts at someone?
07:09:10 <Avatar> 1d6+2 per javelin?
07:09:18 <Avatar> is that multiple on a full attack?
07:10:01 <Avatar> or do you fire all of them, as many as you can cast, in the same round as the spell?
07:10:08 <Avatar> I guess that would make it better
07:14:14 Faerla ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
07:15:28 Faerla has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
07:33:08 <Mekkis_x200> you fire them all when you cast the spell
07:33:27 <Mekkis> Avatar, I really like what you said there
07:33:38 <Mekkis> "You can't expect to say "I'm using this character for roleplay and you're all going to sit down and play". That's never going to happen."
07:38:01 <Avatar> so 9d6+18 when you can first cast it, at multiple targets with multiple attack rolls
07:42:22 Goya has quit (Quit: WeeChat 0.4.2)
07:43:36 <Mekkis_x200> yep
07:43:47 <Mekkis_x200> great against mirror image
07:47:28 <Avatar> hmmmm excellent point
11:02:47 <appferreira> hello

22:07:19 <Steven> sounds like a crafted item.
22:12:09 <Steven> PCs can always buy weapons and equipment off their Chronicle sheets and the approved equipment lists for their size so long as their size is Small or Medium.
22:12:39 <Steven> page 22
22:13:08 <Steven> elsewhere in the book it says approved list is the core rulebook and additional resources basically
22:19:48 <Mekkis> I'm not talking drain/damage
22:20:09 <Mekkis> I'm talking if an eidolon stops taking Ability Score Increase (Int).
22:22:56 <Mekkis> I saw a character who had one, who claimed that p553 of the core rulebook allowed it, and that the VO in charge of some Fantasy Grounds online gaming was doing a similar thing
22:24:11 <Avatar> not sure how that works
22:24:19 <Avatar> isnt' that just a permanent increase
22:25:17 <Steven> ill crack open my core but i doubt theres an item thats a positive channeling phalac and +2 wis item/
22:25:31 <Avatar> good day captain
22:25:49 <Ulzef> hey anyone know where the rules for edges if your square are i am having a gm say i cant use a tower shield effect to face down or up
22:25:54 <Ulzef> and hello
22:26:17 <Steven> nah... that doesnt do anything.
22:26:26 <Avatar> no facing in pathfinder, it faces every way
22:26:49 <Steven> they want to do adding new abilities to an item.
22:27:24 <Ulzef> yeah tower shield can be set block a edge gming is saying that does not include up or down
22:27:39 <Avatar> squares aren't really squares
22:27:42 <Avatar> they're 5ft cubes
22:27:51 <Avatar> unless it needs to be dug into the ground, it should be fine
22:28:17 <Ulzef> i know that he is wanting me to find it write otherwise i have to abide by his ruling
22:28:52 <Avatar> why does he think it doesn't include up or down? because of the 5ft cube thing or the must be dug into the ground thing
22:29:07 <Avatar> the latter would be the tower shield wording
22:29:23 <Ulzef> i am actually playing a kineticist and can make a wall that needs no attachment and wanna make a lvl ground with it in 5ft a tine
22:30:58 <Ulzef> its gitch being a prat and demanding the rule
22:32:22 <Steven> my big problem with this character is that i dont need any items to make this character work.
22:32:27 <Mekkis> there isn't
22:32:47 <Mekkis> they're pointing to the bit on p553, that says you can, as long as you pay 1.5x the cost
22:33:27 <Steven> save that the item they are purchasing is not on any list.
22:33:47 <Steven> it is a customized item using the item creation rules.
22:34:31 <Avatar> some commonsense would apply, you're not going to find a rule that says you can use a tower shield left, right, forward, backwards, up and down
22:34:31 <Steven> page 8, Neither the craft feats nor the item creation section of the magic items chapter in the Core Rulebookare legal for play.
22:35:16 <Mekkis> ok, cool
22:35:32 <Steven> yeah, its easy to miss, but it is pretty black and white.
22:35:49 <Mekkis> yeah, nice
22:36:15 <Mekkis> Avatar, actually, they're not 5' cubes
22:36:30 <Mekkis> they're 5' squares, with some strange stuff for altitude
