01:07:07 <Avatar> oooooops
01:33:02 <Avatar> is anyone keen on playing the new evergreen this weekend?
01:44:44 <Avatar> or ecver?
01:44:45 <Avatar> or ever*
02:31:23 <Steven> core only character incoming
02:31:59 <Avatar> as if
02:32:46 <Avatar> I am reconsidering making my investigator and basing it off this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zePQavforA
02:36:22 <Steven> an insufferable ass?
02:37:00 <Avatar> he will have ranks in bluff
02:37:07 <Avatar> I think I am addicted to the bluff skill
02:37:26 * Steven puts a hand on your shoulder.
02:37:36 <Steven> Do you wanna talk about it?
02:37:44 <Avatar> it's a good era to be bluffing, GMs are more open to it because they want it to work
02:38:05 <Avatar> all you need to do is come up with a good story and roll and if the table is happy with it, the rule of cool applies
02:38:09 <Avatar> why would you want to
02:38:32 <Steven> the rule of cool always applies
02:38:49 <Avatar> bluff is the new diplomacy
02:39:15 <Avatar> yeah you can get things done easier with diplomacy, but it's never as much fun!
02:39:47 <Avatar> sometimes the challenge is to find something to lie about
02:40:49 <Steven> hmmmmm only things printed before 8/1/2009 are eligible for this character.
02:41:14 <Steven> seems like a lot of work to track down what was made prior to that.
02:41:20 <Steven> i think im just gonna keep it core only.
02:43:39 <Avatar> what's the deal with this character
02:44:45 <Steven> council of thieves AP
02:45:25 <Steven> to make it so we dont have ridiculously powerful character we all agreed to make characters that consist of only things that were out at the time.
02:45:53 <Steven> im going to go with just core cause it seems like a pain in the ass to look through to see when source material was printed.
02:52:55 <Avatar> forget that just build an investigator
02:53:03 <Mekkis> Steven, anything that's 3.5e is pre-2009.
02:53:20 <Mekkis> So Campaign Setting, Elves of Golarion, Osirion, Cheliax...
02:53:20 <Avatar> lol bring out unearthed arcana and the magic item compendium !
02:54:24 <Mekkis> I'm building an oracle who uses druid spells. Trying to decide on a good mystery. Not choosing Nature
02:54:34 <Mekkis> maybe flame
02:55:15 <Avatar> I considered taking a level of oracle for James since he's cha-based
02:55:32 <s_gmusic> eh. it may be cool to see someone start belching thick smoke and choking on it.
02:55:34 <Mekkis> Dipping is Generally a bad idea
02:55:36 <Avatar> can't do a whole lot with 2 levels of oracle at level 10 though
02:55:49 <Avatar> there are exceptions
02:55:55 <Avatar> Buck's dipping was fantastic
02:57:10 <Avatar> they would die faster if you cut them than if they choke for 3 minutes
02:58:18 <Mekkis> I did say 'generally'
03:00:32 <Avatar> I've got high standards mekkis
03:00:35 <Avatar> I want those exceptions
03:24:48 <Avatar> https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andromium/andromium-the-next-evolution-computing-platform
03:32:57 <Avatar> anyone built a shaman yet?
03:33:07 <Avatar> I still need to rebuild my druid into one and I have no good idea how
03:45:22 <Mekkis> "PEORIA, Ill. (UPI) -- A blind high school student is being
03:45:22 <Mekkis> forced to take a driver's education class to satisfy graduation
03:45:22 <Mekkis> requirements, officials said yesterday. Her principal defended
03:45:22 <Mekkis> the action by saying, "Who knows, there might be some dire
03:45:22 <Mekkis> emergency in her future where she miught have to drive."
03:53:12 <s_gmusic> What.
04:39:30 <Avatar> roll bluff
04:45:30 <Avatar> mekkis you seen any shamans?
04:45:35 <Avatar> or steven
04:45:40 <Avatar> or s_g
04:53:20 <Avatar> any1?
04:58:27 <Steven> hey hey
05:55:59 <Avatar> tough crowd
06:58:05 <Steven> I GM'd it this last weekend.
07:15:30 <Avatar> I haven't even played the confirmation yet, only GM'd it
07:34:27 <Mekkis> Avatar, I've seen one
07:34:36 <Mekkis> they're not worth making
07:57:11 <Mekkis> Avatar, you could use solidsmoke pipeweed to make massive quantities of expensive poisons...
08:03:42 <Steven> well i finished my book i started this afternoon.
08:03:47 <Steven> time to watch a movie.
08:04:21 <Steven> something dumb....

08:27:30 <***> Buffer Playback...
08:27:31 <***> Playback Complete.
08:49:57 <Steven> Unable to take a day before the game starts by season. Season 0 50% Season 1 40% Season 2 58% Season 3 52% Season 4 55% Season 5 56% Season 6 45%
08:50:25 <Steven> I didnt count first steps or eyes of the ten.
08:50:35 <Steven> or retired scenarios
08:51:11 <Steven> on average about 50% of the time you're under a time constraint.
08:51:48 <Steven> one weird one was king of storval stairs, you can use a scroll of greater teleport or travel 3 weeks to get there.
09:00:30 <Steven> there are two games where if you take a day you'll just automatically fail the scenario.
09:17:06 Gamera ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
09:27:06 <s_gmusic> August AP is called "Hell's Rebels". Please don't let Season 7 become Season 5.
09:29:19 <Steven> hells rebels is a 'sequel' to Council of Thieves.
09:32:58 <s_gmusic> oh?
09:36:03 <Steven> from everything i've been able to gather on it.
09:36:04 <Steven> yes.
09:36:43 <Steven> they are both set in Chelaxia
09:36:47 <Steven> anyways.
09:37:19 <Steven> Thats the next AP we are going to play up here.
09:37:32 <Steven> Council of thieves followed by Hells Rebels.
10:23:11 <Steven> that movie was appropriotly dumb
10:26:28 Gamera has quit (Quit: )

12:37:25 <s_gmusic> http://imgur.com/gallery/AokMr
13:07:23 <Steven> I have a shaman. I enjoy it.
13:21:40 <s_gmusic> just seen that Scarlett Johansson is supposed to be in a live action GitS.
13:31:55 <Steven> meh
13:32:59 <s_gmusic> yeah. kind of a "hey look, That's happening" type things.
13:33:17 <Steven> yeah
13:33:29 <Steven> my friends are going stupid about it.
13:33:47 <Steven> why cant we have a japanese actress?!?
13:33:50 <Steven> blah blah blah
13:39:15 <Steven> yo
13:41:16 <s_gmusic> yo
13:41:50 <Steven> you see the negative boon thread on paizo forum...
13:41:54 <Steven> some people...
13:46:18 <s_gmusic> huh?
13:46:31 <s_gmusic> it's been a while since I clicked on the forums
13:46:38 <Steven> http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2ruu9?PFS-Negative-boon-question
13:50:30 <Steven> the question just smacks of "I'm super angry i got a negative boon for doing something stupid like participating in a ritual i didnt fully understand!"
13:52:16 <s_gmusic> shit happens.
13:52:41 <s_gmusic> I think I have a character that has that... or barely missed it.
13:53:00 <s_gmusic> but I don't wanna dig through chronicles right now to find out.
13:55:29 <Steven> the cost is 860 gold or 2PP and 200 gold
13:59:02 <s_gmusic> to remove it? meh.
13:59:27 <s_gmusic> if it's on the character I'm thinking of, it's a monk, so I'd only really have an issue with the initial damage.
14:02:50 <s_gmusic> yup. on a monk, didn't do the ritual, but got the full Savior of the Sages boon. I need to update hero lab and my character sheets with my boons. :/
14:04:18 <s_gmusic> o wait. those skill bonuses are only for osirion based stuff. blarg
14:11:54 <s_gmusic> that was well-played: http://i.imgur.com/8Jt4rRO.jpg
14:14:04 <Steven> that is just the picture.
14:14:07 <Steven> lacks the snappy caption
14:14:42 <s_gmusic> http://imgur.com/gallery/8Jt4rRO
14:14:45 <s_gmusic> better?
14:15:19 <Steven> ah very nice.
14:16:16 <s_gmusic> oh warmahordes, why is your plastic so poor? :/
14:16:37 <s_gmusic> ... wrong channel. :|
14:18:54 <Steven> its okay, i didnt understand it so i was ignoring the comment all together
14:19:25 <s_gmusic> starting to play Warmachine/Hordes
14:19:32 <s_gmusic> the plastic quality is not-so-bueno.
14:19:38 <Avatar> higher level stuff but not PFS?
14:19:49 <Avatar> most of my characters are subtier 10-11
14:20:08 <s_gmusic> hello, avatar
14:20:11 <Steven> okay avatar.... run Wardens of the Reborn Forge for us on the channel.
14:20:19 <Avatar> is that PFS
14:20:43 <Steven> it has pfs credit if you want to...
14:20:56 <Steven> otherwise its just like any other super module
14:25:41 <Avatar> 12th level characters
14:25:52 <Avatar> that would be one to play after everybody has played eyes of the ten
14:26:42 <s_gmusic> so I'd be okay with a lvl 14 gunslinger? :3
14:29:05 <s_gmusic> I promise it's not that stupid. Plumekith aasimar gunslinger 14 that provokes AoO within 15 and has 7 (or 8?) AoO/rd
14:32:32 <Steven> well warden is another seeker arch
14:42:48 <Steven> At walmart from one dude to his friend "I'm swag as fuck bro you don't even know!" from me who overhears this "You're wearing sweatpants."
14:43:42 <Steven> anyways... yeah wardens. I think we are gonna play it up here in February.
14:46:10 <s_gmusic> heh
14:46:27 <s_gmusic> I like it when people's filters don't catch what their mouth is saying in time.
14:47:02 <s_gmusic> guy I know embarassed the hell out of someone a while back.
14:47:35 <Steven> im lucky, i get to say a lot of what i want. I'm a pretty big guy... i dont think i'd get to be near as flippant if i was average sized.
14:47:42 <Steven> i'd get the shit kicked out of me a lot.
14:48:56 <Steven> i think when i play it i will play it with folnor
14:48:58 <s_gmusic> I'm kinda big. not muscular. 6'1''-ish and around 315lb. people still give me a wide berth and someone told me before I look like I'm on my way to murder someone. :/
14:49:10 <Steven> my level 12 cloistered cleric.
14:51:04 <Avatar> show us your character sheet
14:56:15 <Steven> yay! we are going to play kingmaker today!
15:04:51 <Steven> on second thought i wouldnt play folnor... his chronicle sheets have not been put into a spreadsheet.
15:04:57 <Steven> whats with you always wanting to see my sheets mang?
15:08:00 <Steven> This isnt PFS legal its for a homebrew. but here is the file link.
15:08:56 <Steven> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwFtjAun89SiNkNTSGU2bEMzREU/view?usp=sharing
15:21:48 <Avatar> I don't remember why the other times, but this time I am trying to build a shaman and can't figure out a good way how to
15:22:24 <Avatar> speaker for the past eh
15:22:32 <Steven> yeah its pretty awesome.
15:27:56 <Avatar> what do you put in a spreadsheet
15:29:23 <Steven> its a pretty simple spreadsheet. Tracks gold earned spent, prestige and experience.
15:30:07 <Steven> also tracks what items i bought and when. Its basically a combo of the item tracking sheet and chronicle sheets.
15:32:54 <Avatar> I feel like that archetype has actually confused me more
15:33:44 <Steven> it is a pretty powerful archetype.
15:34:08 <Steven> with power comes complexity
15:35:32 <Steven> basically no wandering spirits or wandering hexes, but you get to pick revelations from those two mysteries
15:35:36 <Steven> at certain levels
15:36:17 <Steven> you dont have a familiar because you commune with the spirits.
15:36:22 <Steven> done.
15:36:58 <Steven> it is pretty easy once you stop looking at all the stuff you get from shaman and just focus on what is replaced.
15:38:15 <Avatar> I guess my confusion comes from not quite understanding shaman fully
15:38:51 <Steven> yeah, well this archetype gets rid of in my opinion the most confusing part about shaman, the wandering spirit.
15:51:03 <Avatar> I thought that was one of the better parts of the class
15:51:13 <Avatar> confusing, but good
15:53:11 <Steven> it is alright, but often times, especially in PFS you dont know at the start of the day what you are going to be doing for that particular day.
15:53:27 <Steven> so you dont know if you're going to be hangin out in a library
15:53:32 <Steven> which would make you pick lore.
15:53:38 <Steven> as your wandering spirit
15:53:59 <Steven> or going out into the forest, which would make you pick nature for the day.
15:54:09 <Avatar> I think that is a lie
15:54:18 <Avatar> I think I will always know what I'll be doing that particular day in PFS
15:54:24 <Avatar> well not always but very frequently
15:55:14 <Steven> no, as soon as you show up for the briefing your spirits for that day are locked. You cant hear the briefing and then be like oh well since i now know im going to be hanging out in a library i will switch my wandering spirit to lore.
15:55:25 <Avatar> the party will wait a day
15:56:02 <Avatar> we will ask our VC for our mission the night before
15:56:07 <Avatar> that is commonsense
15:56:34 <Steven> "Guys sorry, i need a day before we can leave for our mission. Gotta switch my spirits to a more beneficial arrangement."
15:57:50 <Steven> like how often have you shown up at a briefing and the VC is like emergency at the blackrose museum... go sort it out.
15:58:23 <Steven> no problem VC, I'll handle it in the morning after i switch my spirit around.
15:58:52 <Avatar> a mission with time constraints can't be helped under lots of circumstances, those are exceptions
15:58:58 <Avatar> you'll always need a default setup
15:59:11 <Avatar> but many don't have such a time constraint
15:59:15 <Steven> about 75% you'll be running with the default set up.
15:59:27 <Avatar> most parties would be glad to go out with a higher rate of survival
15:59:31 <Steven> because most PFS scenarios have some sort of time frame set into them.
15:59:31 <Avatar> their lives are at stake
15:59:46 <Avatar> I disagree I think the figure is closer to 35%
16:00:34 <Avatar> you don't include the ones that have a time limit after you start them, like library of the lion for example
16:00:37 <Steven> Out of the two of us, i've played far more. I'm going to go with my figure.
16:02:59 <Avatar> so you're saying that out of the few I haven't played, they all have time constraints and I've been lucky enough to pick just the ones that don't
16:11:04 <Avatar> did you share it yet
16:11:26 <Steven> no
16:11:32 <Avatar> how come
16:11:46 <Steven> because i havent uploaded it at all.
16:12:08 <Avatar> that's what I thought
16:12:28 <Mekkis> !spell planetarium

Anyone within the planetarium's sphere can see the projection, though outside of the sphere the image becomes grainy and
16:12:33 <diebot> indistinct.
16:13:57 <s_gmusic> lol
16:16:54 <Avatar> didn't you just say it reduces complexity
16:17:01 <Avatar> oh wait, scrolled down
16:17:11 <Steven> its 8C outside and im sweating like a beast
16:18:01 <Steven> i hate it when the temperature swings like this... last week it was single digits in the negative
16:23:34 <Avatar> I don't even remember having an opportunity to get a negative boon in that scenario
16:34:25 <Avatar> oh, oops, I was going to take a look at that shaman at work today
16:38:21 <Mekkis> oh. I got one, completely unnecessarily
16:38:21 <Avatar> has anyone seen that terrible dice roller/initiative tracker kickstarter?
16:38:40 <Avatar> it's just a small box with a whiteboard base and somehow it's attracted over $1000 in pledges
16:38:49 <s_gmusic> wut
16:38:56 <Avatar> no joke
16:39:22 <Avatar> https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/128840374/k-box-the-whiteboard-dice-box
16:39:49 <Avatar> I'd love to hear about that experience
16:43:19 <Mekkis> oh, I did the ritual after dealing with the rest of the scenario, thinking that it might be a good idea
16:46:25 <s_gmusic> damn.
16:47:33 <s_gmusic> hell, looks like they want the money more for Cool Toys than the boxes themselves.
16:48:15 <s_gmusic> begging ends on the Jan. 18th, rewards go out sometime in Feb? that's not a bad turnaround.

19:01:41 <Brunius> Negative

19:06:56 <Brunius> from darkwhite on facebook
19:17:39 <Mekkis> Steven, could you use solidsmoke pipeweed to craft poisons?
19:17:58 <Mekkis> ah
20:09:02 <Steven> yo
20:14:44 <Mekkis> yo
20:15:12 <Brunius> yo
20:15:25 <Steven> would have been perfect if you two had said ho
20:15:38 <Steven> then i could have said "And a bottle of rum"
20:22:59 <Steven> Celestial Armor for my character mmmmm yeah.
