08:12:00 <Avatar> brunius your icon should be square
08:12:16 <Avatar> otherwise it gets stretched and Bairaq is fat Bairaq
08:33:31 <Avatar> yeah sorry, when you go from regular to masterwork to +1, you also get a -1 ACP with it
08:33:34 <Avatar> that's what I meant
09:46:16 <Brunius_> May have to ditch games sorry, something's come up
09:46:25 <Brunius_> will keep you posted
09:49:15 <Avatar> both of them?
10:29:05 <Avatar> for the initiative to work, mort has to open the tracker, then you click your icon, then do the initiative roll
11:06:07 <Steven> just woke up... im sorry.
11:08:06 <Avatar> you're forgiven
11:08:24 <Steven> im guessing game didnt launch.
12:30:29 <Mekkis> !item ring of retribution
12:30:33 <diebot> Mekkis, RING OF RETRIBUTION [strong evocation] CL:13 ring 15000gp, 0lb
12:30:33 <diebot> Once per day, the wearer of this charred bone ring may, as an immediate action, cause it to detonate in a 30-foot-radius burst that deals 10d6 points of fire damage (Reflex DC 14 half). If the wearer is killed by the detonation, all magical equipment he carries must also save or take fire damage, and all nonmagical equipment takes this damage with
12:30:34 <diebot> no saving throw. This explosion never destroys the ring. Source: Ultimate Equipment

16:37:13 <Philderbeast> o/
16:38:08 <s_gmusic> hi phil
16:41:21 <Philderbeast> hows it going
16:42:04 <s_gmusic> not horrible. getting out of mtg for warmachine and gundam models. somehow I've been slipping out of PFS, though. :\
16:42:27 <Philderbeast> well thats no good
16:42:41 <Philderbeast> I have been getting set up to start to Gm a lot more
16:42:59 <Philderbeast> now im finaly getting settled in to the new job
16:43:23 <s_gmusic> heh. I still play pathfinder, but quitting my "job" at a game store because the owner wasn't wanting to pay me kind of pulled me out of things
16:43:41 <s_gmusic> how goes your herolab app?
16:43:48 <Philderbeast> still going
16:44:03 <Philderbeast> I have been doing the new UI for it up its a long slow painfull process
16:44:06 <Philderbeast> but tis getting there
16:45:45 <Philderbeast> im trying to decide if i should play more PFS of try and get in to a home campaign at the moment thugh
16:45:56 Rocket_man_1981_ ([email protected]) has left #d&d
16:46:46 <s_gmusic> when you first released it, I showed it to a few GMs and the local VL. They liked it, especially that it was laid out similar to a pregen sheet.
16:47:02 <Philderbeast> yea that view is not going away
16:47:36 <Philderbeast> I love that as a gm tool, and its nice and fast
16:48:05 <s_gmusic> yup
16:48:29 <Philderbeast> the new view is designed to be similar to the ipad play view
16:48:36 <Brunius_> philderbeeeeast
16:48:47 <Philderbeast> so i can ass come more tracking features like hp tracking to make it more usefull as a player tool
16:48:52 <Philderbeast> hey Brunius_
16:50:25 <Philderbeast> so qucik question anyone interested in a game tomorrow?
16:51:36 <Brunius_> where and when?
16:52:04 <Philderbeast> online, somtime when we can all be on
16:52:22 <Philderbeast> we are a bit scattered for a face to face game
16:55:12 <Philderbeast> hmmm i just realised that im 4 sessions short of another GM star....
16:55:25 <Philderbeast> have you guys played emerald spire yet?
16:55:36 <Brunius_> I haven't played anything for like a year
17:10:14 <Philderbeast> ok question for the crowd, what you wou say are the must have upfront stats for every character
17:12:59 <s_gmusic> HP, Saves, Combat Stats (weapons, armor, etc.), Attributes, Feats, Skills.
17:14:54 <Philderbeast> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B218aAbnJ24lWHVmTjAtWTRKMTA/view?usp=sharing
17:15:00 <Philderbeast> would that cover most of it?
17:15:11 <Philderbeast> im thinking skills/feats as a second screen
17:15:30 <Philderbeast> hp is under the volume BTW
17:16:34 <Philderbeast> wow im full of fail i use deleated it
17:17:04 <s_gmusic> ouch
17:17:49 <s_gmusic> nice. I take it the bar under the volume is Race/Class/Level/HP?
17:18:13 <Philderbeast> most of that im saviung a new screen shot so you can see it
17:18:38 <Philderbeast> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B218aAbnJ24lUkszbTFBemJ2Q0k/view?usp=sharing
17:18:43 <Philderbeast> there we go
17:20:45 <s_gmusic> hm... remove the "Saves" button and put a block to the left of the class button for race. Race/Class/HP. are they interactable buttons for HP or just static?
17:21:42 <Philderbeast> the plan is to make them interactive
17:21:57 <Philderbeast> its still a long way off done, half that is static data just to show the layout
17:22:40 <s_gmusic> it works really well, though, especially if that's on a phone instead of a tablet.
17:23:10 <Philderbeast> thats on my nexus 7, i have a single coloum layout for phones but it needs some work
17:23:54 <Philderbeast> what would you have under race?
17:24:33 <s_gmusic> Nothing as a button.
17:24:35 <Philderbeast> just mic stuff like alignment, darkvision etc/
17:25:17 <s_gmusic> Racial details usually work, yeah.
17:25:49 <Philderbeast> it gives them a place then without putting them in your way
17:26:26 <Philderbeast> and im thinking things like caster level, arcane spell failure etc under the classes?
17:26:37 <Philderbeast> or will that not make sence?
17:27:04 <s_gmusic> have a second page you can swipe left/right to for Skills, then another page for Feats/traits/racial
17:27:40 <Philderbeast> swipe/tabs not sure yet probably both
17:28:19 <s_gmusic> hm...
17:29:31 <s_gmusic> place the line for "BAB" under "Charisma", slide up CMB and CMD by one place. Beneath CMD, list Caster level, then Concentration below that. Place ASF underneath DR on the new line.
17:33:04 <Avatar> I think I know why words of the ancients hasn't been run online much
17:33:08 <Avatar> it is a bitch to prepare
17:33:14 <s_gmusic> heh
17:33:18 <Avatar> I hate it when PDFs don't play friendly
17:36:49 <Philderbeast> wow i sware herolab hates me with this xml output
17:42:07 <Philderbeast> ASF?
17:47:12 <Philderbeast> ahh spell failure
17:48:46 <s_gmusic> lol sorry
17:49:14 <Philderbeast> brain is a little mushy right now
17:49:22 <Philderbeast> getting weird errors importing stats into my app
17:49:23 <Philderbeast> a
17:49:35 <Philderbeast> and i have been working on it for 3 days straight to get this ffar lol
17:50:18 <s_gmusic> ouch.
17:50:28 <Philderbeast> ok saves done,
17:50:45 <Philderbeast> so i have name, class, attributes, and saves read and displayed now
17:50:51 <Philderbeast> oh and hp
17:55:00 <Philderbeast> ok I put race over saves for now, at least that one was easy
18:09:47 <Philderbeast> note to self OCD over the layout makes this take 10 times longer
18:10:17 <s_gmusic> heh
18:22:43 <Philderbeast> hmmm putting DR there is not going to work how i thought it would
18:25:14 <s_gmusic> oh?
18:27:22 <Philderbeast> the xml is set up so you can have multiple types of DR
18:27:28 <Philderbeast> and that will just look bad there
18:27:41 <s_gmusic> ew
18:27:58 <Philderbeast> im thinking i will put it in the pop up when you go to take/heal damage
18:28:22 <Philderbeast> since thats when you need to see it anyway
18:34:59 <Philderbeast> screw it, SR and DR are not going on that page, Im going to put skills under there /next to the weapons instead
18:44:17 <Steven> hey hey
18:44:37 <Mekkis> Avatar, want me to give it some pdfimages love?
19:07:44 <Philderbeast> so is anyone interested if i Gm a game tomorrow morning?
19:08:12 <Steven> whatcha gonna gm
19:08:32 <Philderbeast> not sure just having a look at that now
19:09:16 <Philderbeast> probably a 1-5 or 1-7
19:10:55 <Philderbeast> anything in particular you want to play?
19:13:29 <Steven> i could only play 6-06 and 6-08
19:14:10 <Philderbeast> huh it just so happens i was thinking about 6-06
19:16:55 <Steven> it would be a refreshing change of pace to play for credit.
19:17:47 <Steven> last 4 games ive sat at have been for no credit.
19:17:57 <Philderbeast> hows 10am Sydney time sound?
19:18:33 <Steven> 14hr 40m
19:19:13 <Philderbeast> yea about that
19:20:05 <Philderbeast> https://warhorn.net/events/philderbeast-online-pfs/schedule/2014/12/30
19:25:00 <s_gmusic> yay
19:25:18 <s_gmusic> found the cards I need for my warmachine figures I bought to use in pathfinder. gonna try picking up on Warmachine a bit.
19:26:14 <Steven> now to figure out what i shall play.
19:27:54 <Philderbeast> im sure you can fund something suitably broken for it
19:28:08 <Steven> meh
19:28:18 <Steven> i just need to decide what i would want to play is all.
19:29:33 <Philderbeast> it cant be much worse then the ranger i rolled up the other day
19:30:10 <Philderbeast> but i made it to specificly break level 1-2....
19:33:48 <Steven> does it break the game like a dc24 color spray?
19:33:49 <Philderbeast> oh great... i cant extract the maps from the pdf... :S
19:33:59 <Steven> at first level
19:34:13 <Philderbeast> prehaps not that bad... but it can do what it does more then twice
19:35:02 <Steven> the guy can do it like 5 times a day or some shit.
19:35:09 <Steven> its pretty dumb
19:35:32 <Philderbeast> thats just crazy....
19:35:51 <Philderbeast> 2d6 +12 dmg, 18 hp and ac 18 at level 1 unplayed
19:36:10 <Steven> oh thats not bad.
19:36:54 <Steven> guy showed up at the shop the other day first level character did 2d6+17 damage w/ a +8 to hit.
19:37:04 <Philderbeast> and as a ranger its able to use a CLW wand if the party has one (or it has played a game to get the pp) and has a diplomacy score worth mentioning
19:37:55 <Steven> just minimum 19 damage... cause you know, need that at 1st level.
19:38:27 <Philderbeast> yea iu was trying to get something good, but could do more then just hit things
19:39:29 <Steven> could play Bolgar.
19:39:35 <Steven> he is solid as fuck.
19:40:09 <Philderbeast> i have heard of that but i cant remember it
19:41:01 <Steven> +6 init 60hp 22ac
19:41:23 <Philderbeast> ok i guess we are not talking levle 1 anymore lol
19:41:24 <Steven> 1dx+9 damage
19:41:33 <Steven> level 5 character
19:42:00 <Steven> he is just solid, not great at anything but not bad at anything either
19:42:26 <Steven> +6 to hit while attacking defensively.
19:45:32 <Steven> i also have a level 4 character that i havent built
19:45:38 <Steven> and a level 8 character i havent built
19:55:54 <Philderbeast> hmmm apparently getting images out of season 6 scenarions is stupid hard
19:56:18 <Steven> have you checked the shared prep... might already be done
19:56:54 <Philderbeast> yea no maps on there
20:09:08 <Philderbeast> for goon news i can get the images of the bad guys out lol
20:09:10 <Philderbeast> just not the maps
20:19:48 <Philderbeast> finaly i found something that will extract them
20:21:00 <Mekkis> it's not hard to get them out
20:21:04 <Mekkis> pdfimages has no issues
20:22:27 <Philderbeast> nitro pdff works as well
20:31:15 <Mekkis> it's amazing how many PFS scenarios you can find online using google
20:33:26 <Philderbeast> yea some people have no problems sharing them
20:34:36 <Mekkis> I like sending the watermark email address a message
20:35:56 <Mekkis> "To modify the watermark, try:
20:36:02 <Mekkis> qpdf --decrypt $pdffile $decrypt
20:36:02 <Mekkis> pdftk $decrypt output $pdffile.tmp uncompress
20:36:02 <Mekkis> sed -i "s/$oldtext/$newtext/g" $pdffile.tmp
20:36:02 <Mekkis> pdftk $pdffile.tmp output $pdffile.watermrk compress
20:36:03 <Mekkis> "
20:36:45 <s_gmusic> linux?
20:36:52 <Philderbeast> yea
20:37:09 <Mekkis> yeah
20:38:18 <Philderbeast> ok tables done, now we just need 4 players and i need to read the scenario again
21:20:40 <Steven> alright.... what to build for the game in 12.5hrs
21:23:56 <Mekkis> Nice
21:23:58 <Mekkis> Your sacrifice is consumed in a burst of flame! An object appears at your feet! │
21:23:58 <Mekkis> │The voice of Thoth thunders: "Use my gift wisely!" Your movements are now unencumbered. │
21:23:58 <Mekkis> │T
21:29:33 <Philderbeast> well we have 2 players...
21:30:12 <Steven> hmmm... i could build my hulk character
21:30:24 <Philderbeast> what build are you going for with it?
21:30:40 <Steven> its.... weird.
21:32:23 <Philderbeast> not another boon bady lol
21:32:28 <Philderbeast> baby*
21:32:39 <Steven> i do have an eyes boon i've yet to apply.
21:33:03 <Mekkis> Philderbeast, when does your posting start?
21:33:04 <Philderbeast> i still havent seen that boon.... looking forward to playing it and seeing what it is
21:33:21 <Philderbeast> the game, 10am
21:33:31 <Steven> well since you're my gm... i may use it, in which case i can tell you right now.
21:33:44 <Steven> Its +2 to a stat.
21:33:54 <Philderbeast> cool
21:34:13 <Steven> its a damn good boon thats for sure.
21:34:36 <Philderbeast> yea, no idea if/when ill get it or what i will do with it when i do though lol
21:35:26 <Steven> oh i know... i'll go to the 'unique pfs legal builds thread' on paizo and pick something there to buidl.
21:36:12 <Steven> i know for sure it will be unique because nobody else will be building one.
21:37:37 <Mekkis> How about a communist bard?
21:37:50 <Mekkis> preach Leninism
21:38:29 <Steven> a communist bard of abadar thats going into exalted
21:38:45 <Steven> and so at level 14 will pick up the scales of balance ability
21:38:52 <Steven> that allows him to redistribute hit points?
21:39:19 <Steven> between all willing allys within 30ft
21:39:59 <Steven> just max constitution.
21:40:22 <Steven> have like 250hp at 14th level.
21:40:47 <Steven> probably more if i went balls deep into it.
21:42:59 <Steven> oh... what am i doing... i can make old man greg!
21:43:27 <Philderbeast> now im curious
21:43:34 <Mekkis> has to be from Brevoy!
21:44:43 <Steven> its a gunslinger/Grenadier alchemist.
21:44:49 <Steven> uses a blunderbus
21:45:03 <Philderbeast> oh god... i have seen that class mix before....
21:45:39 <Steven> he is going to have one of those floating chairs.
21:45:49 <Steven> and a porter that pushes it around while he sleeps.
21:46:21 <Steven> old man greg.
21:46:25 <Mekkis> yes. It's Mr "rules as written, even if they're ridiculous"
21:46:37 <Steven> damn right it is!
21:46:46 Steven has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
21:47:11 <Philderbeast> I really should use my convention boons
21:48:42 Steven ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
21:48:46 <Steven> had to restart google.
21:48:58 <Steven> damn update.
21:49:32 <Steven> if they ever change the rules on the class, i'll just convert over because i will have already had my fun.
21:49:54 <Mekkis> why don't you get an IRC client, Steven?
21:50:19 <Steven> i had one.
21:50:24 <Steven> and it kept wanting to be updated.
21:50:34 <Brunius_> so get a better one
21:50:40 <Steven> and i got annoyed because it worked fine and then it was like you must update now or i wont work
21:50:44 <Steven> so i was like... get fucked.
21:50:55 <Steven> and uninstalled it.
21:53:24 <Steven> suppose i could always do my summoner pugwampi cheese
21:54:56 <Philderbeast> hmmm am i crazy enough to unbind half my characters to get there chronicals scanned in
21:55:39 <Steven> i just have a big pile of chronical sheets stacked up in my desk drawr... i do all of it online these days to cut down on shit i carry.
21:56:11 <Philderbeast> thats why i need to do my scanning :P
21:57:02 <Steven> i use spreadsheets.
21:57:19 <Philderbeast> then i just take my tablet to games days and i have everything that can be possibly asked for
21:57:32 <Steven> to track all my stuff. so if a gm wants to see my wealth or what not, i just give them a link.
21:57:52 <Steven> the downside is that i dont get to use my awesome boons from the chronicle sheets
21:58:37 <Philderbeast> to be honest i could not tell you what half the boons my characters have are these days to use them anyway
21:59:25 <Steven> they usually are not important... oh +2 bonus to perception checks to find pictographs while in dwarven strongholds
21:59:27 <Philderbeast> I might go through and consolidate them one day so i can use them
21:59:47 <Steven> so far my favorite boon is on my fetchling.
21:59:48 <Philderbeast> awsoms i just scanned a blacnk page
22:00:19 <Steven> played the game where he got to pay 20pp and become a member of the blackrose family.
22:00:30 <Steven> absolutely fucking priceless.
22:00:59 <Philderbeast> nice
22:01:09 <Steven> because the backstory is that he is an ex member of the Onyx Alliance
22:01:11 <Philderbeast> ahhh i just found one i liked...
22:01:18 <Philderbeast> the Sky citadel boon
22:01:28 <Philderbeast> on the character i played legacy of the stonelords on
22:01:44 <Steven> for years the onyx alliance took tribute from the blackrose family in the form of the eldest daughter of each generation.
22:01:55 <Steven> so now im married to one.
22:02:00 <Steven> im sure its a very tense wedding.
22:03:54 <Philderbeast> hehehe i just found that boon
22:05:41 <Steven> the blackrose marriage thing?
22:05:47 <Philderbeast> yea
22:05:52 <Steven> you played it?
22:06:08 <Philderbeast> yep
22:06:12 <Philderbeast> im holding the chronical
22:06:21 <Steven> so you know the start when you come across nigel aldain?
22:06:30 <Steven> well my character pulled out his wand, hit him with a cure spell.
22:06:36 <Philderbeast> lol
22:06:57 <Steven> and so he wakes up... sees me and the gm is like.... "Well fuck... I knew you sons of bitches would be back"
22:07:11 <Philderbeast> yea got to love that
22:07:27 <Steven> and so my character being a happy guy... i mean he doesnt have to live on the shadow plane and live in fear of zon kuthon.
22:07:41 <Steven> really the material plane is an alright place.
22:08:08 <Steven> so he is like "Nah Nigel its me, Crant."
22:08:19 <Steven> gm "Double fuck.... What you gonna steal this time?"
22:08:52 <Steven> laughs were had.
22:09:06 <Steven> breaths were lost
22:09:10 <Steven> enhalers used.
22:09:15 <Steven> all in all... great time.
22:11:33 <Steven> 3 players bro!
22:12:35 <Philderbeast> sweet
22:12:41 <Philderbeast> it will probably be full by morning
22:13:19 <Philderbeast> the bonus of running a newer scenario
22:13:26 <Philderbeast> most people havent played it yet
22:13:43 <Steven> suppose i could always make a bladebound kensai magus....
22:13:50 <Steven> level 4 only like 30ac.
22:17:24 <Steven> so.... weapon finesse, weapon focus aldori dueling sword from class, slashing grace
22:17:27 <Philderbeast> 1 more character to scan and im up to date....
22:17:46 <Steven> i guess dodge feat.
22:18:59 <Steven> 27ac not fighting defensively.
22:20:21 <Steven> +9 to hit for 1d8+5 damage
22:22:12 <Steven> cost me a total of 1100g.
22:23:56 <Steven> meh.
22:24:25 <Philderbeast> can you get to the paizo site?
22:25:35 <Steven> yeah
22:25:55 <Philderbeast> hmmm its not working for me

22:39:12 <Brunius_> I'm in a group for a 10mm wargame, and there's one guy from the UK that it seems MUST post something three to five times a day
22:39:31 <Brunius_> Whether that's a list, oooh look at what I bought, what about this scenario idea
22:39:33 <Steven> sounds annoying as hell
22:39:36 <Brunius_> like
