00:00 <Mekkis> You think they're insane in Pathfinder...
00:14 <Avatar> I think 30ft up?
00:19 <Mekkis> Check out the 3.5e version.
00:24 <Mekkis> !dist 30 30
00:25 <diebot> Mekkis, Length of hypotenuse: 42.426407
00:43 <Mekkis> I didn't really want to argue the point. The intent was clear
01:11 <Avatar> if I'd noticed at the time I would've pointed i tout
01:26 <Avatar> I don't think it would've changed the outcome, it worked out
01:31 <Mekkis> Remember Ghandi?
01:38 <Avatar> yeah
01:54 <Mekkis> he abused Holy Word/Dictum
02:57 <Mekkis> step 1: raise caster level
03:02 <Mekkis> then use: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/holyWord.htm
03:17 <Mekkis> see the difference?
13:56 <Avatar> yeah that one is garbage
17:53 <Mekkis> what? How so?
19:07 <Avatar> vs 2d6 str damage
19:13 <Avatar> it could just be that mort rolled high
19:24 <Avatar> and that I dumped str
19:55 <Mekkis> it's not strength damage - it's a decrease in strength
20:05 <Mekkis> (thus it can't put your str to below 1)
20:23 <Mekkis> Also, I think you missed the important bit...
20:45 <Mekkis> "The effects are cumulative and concurrent. No saving throw is allowed against these effects. "
21:23 <Mekkis> http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/blasphemy.htm
38:21 <Steven> back.
38:30 <Steven> she is solo class
39:11 <Avatar> are you linking to 3.5 rules
39:22 <Avatar> http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/spells/blasphemy.html
40:03 <Mekkis> Avatar, yes, I am. The difference between Pathfinder Blasphemy and 3.5e Blasphemy is that 3.5e Blasphemy has NO SAVE!
40:35 <Avatar> that doesn't mean the pathfinder version doesn't suck
40:54 <Avatar> the 3.5 rule is pretty mediiocre compared to nuclear war
41:15 <Mekkis> I never said that.
41:39 <Mekkis> Problem with either version is that it requires your CL to be higher than their HD, which is often not the case
44:04 <Steven> there is 1 scenario where blasphemy is cast by a creature with a high enough caster level to screw over a party big time.
45:11 <Mekkis> the 2013 special?
45:36 <Steven> nah
49:23 <Steven> CL14 in the 10-11 tier, so if you are playing up you get get hosed.
49:55 <Mekkis> yeah... ow
50:13 <Mekkis> but at least you get a save in Pathfinder
50:46 <Mekkis> (I also realised, Avatar, that Perfection wouldn't have been banished - unless the caster was on its home plane)
51:15 <Steven> whatss perfections HD? cause i thought you were pure summoner
58:48 <Mekkis> 6 or 7, iirc
59:59 <Steven> if you're level 9 your eidolon is 7, which means its only CL-4 and wouldnt be subjected to the 3rd level of blasphemy 
07:54 <Mekkis> can an eidolon retrain feats?
08:45 <Avatar> it would probably use your prestige and gp I guess
09:56 <Mekkis> what's the stature of limitations of replacing a feat after it's changed by errata?
12:28 <Avatar> if you keep the feat the next time you play, you can't retrain it for free later
21:14 <Mekkis> really?
32:21 <Steven> back
32:37 <Steven> i see the chat log has really been booking.
32:48 <Mekkis> booking?
35:26 <Steven> i want waffles
25:28 <Avatar> you don't make a lot of sense sometimes steven
27:16 <Steven> i know
11:12 Gamera has quit (Quit: )
25:00 <Steven> i feel like i shouldl make a monk
04:43 <Steven> jesus this is annoying.
04:58 <Steven> trying to recover my MTGO account.
58:01 <Brunius> god dealing with anything wizard digital
58:56 <Steven> it was supid difficult.
52:01 <Avatar> still think I need to pick up ISG
52:21 <Avatar> I don't really want to wait 6 months for the AUD to drop
52:29 <Avatar> if it drops
53:53 <Avatar> holiday15 discount code is 10% off until feb 1st
54:19 <Avatar> if I decide to wait, it will be february and I will forget about it !
50:39 <Brunius> the AUD won't go up much
53:41 <Avatar> will it come down though
53:48 <Brunius> define come down
54:00 <Avatar> more in line with the USD 
54:10 <Brunius> probably not much
54:19 <Brunius> demand from china for ore is coming down
54:30 <Brunius> Mekkis: Are you able to bring diebot into freenode for a couple hours?
54:32 <Avatar> it's possible paizo might drop the price of the book, I guess
54:44 <Avatar> what's on freenode
54:57 <Brunius> it's what the arma group I play with uses
55:08 <Avatar> pathfinder?
55:12 <Mekkis> Sure
55:15 <Mekkis> What channel, Brunius 
55:19 <Brunius> They're doing nWOD
55:22 <Brunius> #CBB2
55:28 <Avatar> what's nWOD
55:32 <Brunius> world of darkness
55:36 <Mekkis> world of darkness
55:41 <Mekkis> (new)
55:46 <Avatar> is it good
00:08 <Mekkis> it's a rules-light system
05:15 <Avatar> trying to apply some unused credit to James, but I kind of can't
05:27 <Avatar> levelling up to 10 and playing that scenario yesterday kind of screws me
05:55 <Avatar> old credit would have to be applied at what level I was when I got the credit
07:40 <Mekkis> you can't apply unused credit.
07:54 <Mekkis> you're supposed to apply it as you get it
10:59 <Avatar> applying it from that date is the same thing
11:19 <Avatar> that's how people make GM credit babies

54:00 <Philderbeast> no response from Deepmar
54:40 <Philderbeast> scantioned mod
00:46 <Avatar> that would not have been as good as our game
02:00 <Avatar> sorry
02:46 <Philderbeast> what did you guys play?
32:01 <Avatar> heresy of man 3
32:01 <Avatar> summoner, archaeologist, paladin, life oracle

01:22 <Steven> what up
50:21 <s_gmusic> yo
52:53 <Steven> relaxin
53:40 <s_gmusic> building gundams and learning warmachine. hope my runelords group can get together soon.
54:00 <Steven> my kingmaker group resumes on the 5th
55:00 <s_gmusic> nice
55:38 <s_gmusic> how derpy has it gotten?
55:53 <Steven> not much... the king is a fucking idiot
56:08 <Steven> he is a sorcerer... and routinely moves to the front of the group
56:16 <s_gmusic> ......
56:39 <s_gmusic> let him die and crown a new king?
56:41 <Steven> so he goes down in the first round of combat... and then the entire fight gets harder because we have to run up and protect him from dying.
57:24 <Steven> which means we are down a person AND not fighting mobs because we are extracting his dumb ass.
58:42 <s_gmusic> see suggestion above?
59:00 <Steven> its not how we roll.
59:12 <s_gmusic> :(
59:20 <Steven> the original group died save the general who missed the session.
59:33 <Steven> so the replacement characters are part of a merc group.
00:16 <Steven> so we have the king and the general the populace would accept
00:27 <Steven> the general... ugh.
02:17 <s_gmusic> better or worse than the sorc?
02:57 <Steven> worse.
03:25 <Steven> I would have made a king character, but I was the leader of the group for WotR
04:10 <Steven> so i didnt want to be in charge.
04:44 <s_gmusic> fair enough
07:03 <s_gmusic> my wrath group died.
07:43 <Steven> my first character died to a coup from a guy that had 3hp and took 3 AoOs an my companions missed all 3
07:57 <Steven> so i made a new character that just refused to die.
08:50 <Steven> level 20, 10 tiers
08:58 <Steven> effective HP
09:08 <Steven> 627hp
09:33 <Steven> Tenacious survivor.
09:54 <Steven> so after something killed me
10:24 <Steven> I could be healed back to life within 18 rounds.
11:04 <s_gmusic> lol
11:22 <s_gmusic> I didn't get a chance to kill my players. it'd be more appropriate to say that it fell apart.
12:46 <Steven> the GM for kingmaker decided to give us 1 mythic tier.
13:03 <s_gmusic> o-o
13:18 <s_gmusic> bwuh?
13:32 <Steven> i built the tier horribly
13:37 <Steven> so i wouldnt be overpowered
14:25 <Steven> I made a vital strike archer.
14:43 <Steven> 3d8+22+1d6(elemental)
14:54 <Steven> if i crit i do an extra 2d8
16:19 <s_gmusic> that's not horrible.
16:32 <Steven> I didnt want to fire a bunch of arrows to slow down the game.
16:45 <Steven> so i just fire once for a ton.
17:07 <Steven> only 12 rounds of rage though... totes sucks.
17:38 <Steven> gonna buy one of the necklaces that give rounds of rage... dont remember what its called though
17:45 <Steven> torc of fury or some such thing
23:22 <Steven> torc of bloody rage for 8k gives +3 rage rounds.
23:53 <Steven> also gives 6 rounds of rage as per the spell.
24:06 <Steven> meh...
27:20 <s_gmusic> is that per day or once?
28:08 <Steven> each day.
28:35 <Steven> sadly the rage spell turns off a couple of my abilities.
29:30 <s_gmusic> ew
