00:35:58 <Mekkis> When you worship Zyphus, you venerate the idea that
00:35:58 <Mekkis> random chance governs your life rather than a master
00:35:59 <Mekkis> plan. You believe that those who look to the gods for
00:35:59 <Mekkis> answers are deluding themselves.

02:52:55 <Avatar> all my characters now worship Zyphus
02:53:08 <Avatar> except Cairo, I guess. dumb clerics
02:53:15 <Avatar> oh er, and Judas
02:53:41 <Avatar> Judas, FOR NOW!
03:01:49 <Avatar> maybe you read it
03:02:51 <Mekkis> Avatar, I'm fine with that. I won't even bother checking if he's a legal deity to worship!
03:05:13 <Avatar> sounds like an evil deity
03:05:23 <Avatar> deities that start with a Z are usually evil
03:05:42 <Mekkis> he's a demon lord
03:09:54 <Avatar> lucky guess aye
03:24:31 <Steven> not that either
03:38:18 <jand> Hello, anyone home?
03:38:23 <Avatar> yep

03:46:26 <Avatar> mate
03:47:04 <Steven> so what up?
03:47:27 <Steven> i dunno bout you guys but im having chili verde
03:47:42 <Avatar> I had a Salad
03:48:39 <Steven> salad can be good.
03:48:48 <Avatar> salad is always good
03:48:55 <Avatar> you can make friends with salad
03:49:09 <Steven> my body doesnt handle that much leafy vegitables well.
03:49:40 <Steven> like i can have a little bit of spinach but any more then that and my stomach just gets upset.
03:50:34 <Avatar> if I ever get like that my life is basically over
03:50:44 <Avatar> I eat salad usually twice a day
03:50:57 <Steven> yeah, i just dont eat that much.
03:51:04 <Avatar> neither do I
03:51:53 <Steven> the last salad i ate was a pear and goatcheese salad w/ walnuts and spinach
03:52:10 <Steven> It was awesome.
03:52:21 <Steven> i made it.
03:52:27 <jand> Sandwich for me
03:52:39 <jand> Avacado, ham and cherry tomato
03:52:45 <jand> toasted
03:52:45 <Steven> but i only got to have a little bit because otherwise upset stomach.
03:54:32 <Steven> now i kinda want a little salad.
03:55:03 <jand> I could go for a kebab personally
03:55:35 <Avatar> mmm avocado
03:57:12 <Steven> with my chili verde i had some guacamole
03:58:01 <jand> Now I really want to go and get a kebab, but I have had far to many of them recently

06:27:56 <spider21b> i see?
06:28:16 <Avatar> I suggested that ring to stephen, he bought it, and he didn't end up using it and sort of wondered whether he should have got it
06:28:28 <Steven> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/combat#TOC-Withdraw
06:28:40 <Steven> with fast getaway its broken as fuck
06:29:05 <Steven> sneak attack, withdraw invisibly to another square threatening the creature.
06:29:07 <Avatar> what is fast getaway
06:29:42 <Steven> next round, sneak attack, withdraw invisibly to another square threatening the creature... rinse repeat
06:30:03 <Avatar> holy shit
06:30:19 <Avatar> how does a bad guy deal with that
06:30:27 <Steven> see invisibility?
06:30:53 <Avatar> PFS bad guys don't have see invisibility
06:31:05 <Steven> or he readies an attack when the person becomes visible after the attack but before the withdraw
06:32:39 <Steven> alright.... so time to craft a replacement character.
06:32:41 <Steven> not a rogue
06:32:48 <Steven> gotta be evil.
06:32:59 <Avatar> a slayer
06:33:13 <spider21b> or investigator?
06:33:16 <Steven> and no CE/Antipaladin
06:33:17 <spider21b> or a bloodrager?
06:33:28 <Avatar> don't tell me you can't make an evil slayer
06:33:40 <Steven> sadly we have a prohibition on bloodragers, summoners, and gunslingers.
06:33:47 <Steven> and by sadly i mean thankfully
06:34:07 <Avatar> are bloodragers broken?
06:34:13 <Avatar> why are they so popular
06:34:15 <Steven> no... not at all.
06:34:29 <Steven> /end sarcasm
06:35:28 <Steven> so cant have an endgame plan that exceeds level 12
06:35:56 <spider21b> muiltclass your own way fighter with somthing?
06:36:13 <Steven> we already have 2 frontliners
06:37:10 <Avatar> what about bolt ace
06:37:25 <Avatar> andrei suggested I retrain my musket master to a bolt ace
06:37:32 <Avatar> that isn't feasable
06:37:57 <Avatar> you can't retrain a bad ass guy who loves guns into a guy who suddenly now likes crossbows
06:38:01 <Steven> bolt ace have problems.
06:38:09 <Avatar> does it?
06:38:10 <Steven> im waiting for them to fix em.
06:38:14 <Avatar> what problems
06:38:24 <Avatar> I was considering making one
06:38:53 <Steven> well... they still get a gun for one.
06:39:48 <Avatar> bonus
06:39:49 <Avatar> !
06:40:18 <Steven> yeah, but its dumb.
06:40:34 <Steven> in the class description they dont like guns... but still get one?
06:40:35 <Avatar> let's pretend it's not dumb
06:40:39 <Avatar> what else is wrong with them
06:40:59 <Steven> go to paizo, type in bolt ace.
06:43:20 <Steven> suppose i could build my hawkeye character as backup.
06:44:53 <Avatar> hmmm ok
06:45:02 <Steven> Urban barbarian w/ a bow he cant really use unless he is raging.
06:45:10 <Avatar> I wouldn't mind changing my investigator into a bolt ace
06:45:18 <Avatar> my going-nowhere investigator
06:45:39 <Avatar> I like the concept of the investigator, but it seems a bit hopeless in a campaign like PFS
06:46:04 <Steven> yeah bolt ace is still a solid class, i just dont want to play one right now until they either fix it or say its not going to be tinkered with.
06:46:38 <Avatar> has anyone on the design team said anything about it
06:50:32 <Steven> nope.
06:52:14 <Steven> alrighty... time to pick a race.
06:52:38 <Steven> outiders are a no no.
06:52:56 <Steven> but pretty much everything else is alright
06:53:24 <Avatar> that's easy, human
06:53:58 <Steven> no thanks...
06:54:01 <Avatar> the idea of playing a human already makes me want to roll up a character for no good reason
06:54:05 <Steven> I'll be a slave then.
06:54:21 <Avatar> well this is the first you've mentioned of humans being slaves in your campaign
06:54:59 <Steven> well... thats just how the necromancer and undead cleric are.
06:55:21 <Steven> they 'bought' the half orc
06:55:28 <Steven> with their starting gold.
06:55:53 <spider21b> really?
06:55:58 <spider21b> thats odd
06:56:13 <Steven> yeah.
06:56:42 <spider21b> what do they use him for?
06:56:51 <Steven> meat shield
06:57:12 <Steven> 1st level he has like 16 hit points and a 20ac
06:58:32 <Steven> my current character is a dhampir
06:59:46 <Steven> mid combat i've stopped fighting to pick up an unconcious NPC and drink their blood. Mechanically i switch over to Worm Aspect and gain fasthealing 1
07:00:14 <Steven> the character is just a solid all around character
07:00:40 <Steven> decent AC, decent Hp, decent saves, has ranged and melee capabilities.
07:01:01 <Steven> so, if it dies, well you gotta come back with something better because it obviously wasnt cuttin the mustard
07:08:37 <spider21b> random question since i have a familar what can i do with it since i dont have spells?
07:10:19 <Steven> im buyin a damascus steel kukri for christmas.
07:23:26 <Mekkis> oh. who's the victim?
07:40:46 <Steven> my wallet
07:59:57 <Mekkis> fair enough
08:00:14 <Mekkis> I'm really tempted to buy a pair of flaming swords for christmas
08:27:02 <Steven> im buying a real damascus steel, not a patterned weld
08:29:30 <Steven> so its killing my wallet. but so be it.

15:30:26 <Mekkis> how many more hours do you need?
15:30:33 <Brunius> about 40
15:30:59 <Mekkis> you can put that in in three months, right?
15:31:16 <Mekkis> get about 32 hours in.
15:31:39 <Mekkis> Then come to Canberra, buy my car, and drive me down to Arcanacon :P

17:24:30 <Mekkis> !feat empower spell
17:24:32 <diebot> Mekkis, EMPOWER SPELL [Metamagic] You can increase the power of your spells, causing them to deal more damage.
17:24:32 <diebot> Benefit: All variable, numeric effects of an empowered spell are increased by half, including bonuses to those dice rolls. Saving throws and opposed rolls are not affected, nor are spells without random variables. An empowered spell uses up a spell slot two levels higher than the spell’s actual level. Source: Core
17:25:26 <Mekkis> How does that work? So CL9 Empowered Magic Missile will do (5d4+5)*1.5 damage, right?
