02:10:09 <s_gmusic> I'm sorry. :\
02:11:43 <Mekkis> Avatar, he can't cast many spells with 13 wisdom
02:11:57 Corentheowl ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
02:12:22 <Corentheowl> Greetings.
02:12:25 <Mekkis> and his companion and his spellcasting aren't his main schtick
02:13:17 <Corentheowl> I have been playing pathfinder for 5 years now, and it was my first experience with tabletop roleplay
02:13:56 <Corentheowl> I have a fixed group where we take turns on being a GM.
02:14:23 <Corentheowl> either running our own written campaigns, or running some of the excellent paizo modules
02:15:43 <Corentheowl> I wanted to run a longterm campaign, and so i choosed to go with the rise of the runelords setting
02:16:50 <Corentheowl> we have been at it for almost 8 months. we started regularly, but gradually my players started to have less time, due to various reasons.
02:17:46 <Corentheowl> the problem is, i really love to roleplay, and i wish i could play more
02:18:38 <Corentheowl> i tried various meet ups, and ocasional groups around where i live, but it's so casual and uncommited.
02:19:49 <Corentheowl> it becomes very inconscistent due to the fact that the players are never the same
02:20:04 <Corentheowl> so most Gm's run one shots or short campaigns
02:21:14 <Corentheowl> for me that takes away the fun of building your character, and see it grow and level up
02:22:24 <Corentheowl> so, the question is, how can i join a online group via skype or irc, where i can play my characters for a long time?
02:34:05 Corentheowl has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
02:37:05 <Avatar> he can cast from a scroll plenty fine
02:37:18 <Avatar> I'm not looking to know everything about his character from a single word
02:37:20 <Avatar> just an idea
02:44:52 <Mekkis> howzit
02:45:17 <Mekkis> at best, you get a misleading impression
02:45:33 <Avatar> so you can't cast druid spells and don't have an animal companion
02:45:41 <Avatar> what's that roc you've got, an eidolon
02:51:14 <Avatar> ya
03:05:36 <steven> sup
03:10:55 <steven> hey tashes
03:11:00 <Tashes> heya
03:19:24 <steven> i didnt get to play core today. I had to run a game for some people who came in to dink around
03:25:07 <steven> mostly i didnt get to play because the person who couldnt play anything for credit didnt want to gm...
03:25:39 <steven> this is the same person who shows up every other week for the last year and a half... they have never GMed
03:28:03 <steven> I was a little bitter
03:35:17 <Tashes> some people just really don't liek GMing. Im' on of them
03:36:17 <steven> but a dog has a 6
03:36:30 <Mekkis> and unwilling GM will just run things badly
03:36:48 <steven> now, i've certainly seen some ugly ass dogs in my day
03:37:06 <steven> but as a whole dogs are not an ugly creature.
03:37:13 <Tashes> "and then it starts raining skittles"
03:37:33 <Mekkis> make saves vs prismatic spray
03:37:59 <Mekkis> oh, I managed to counter a spell last Saturday
03:38:07 <Mekkis> I was on 0 hp, too
03:38:08 <Brunius_> wow
03:39:06 <Tashes> good job!
03:39:30 <Mekkis> I mean, really counterspell
03:39:40 <Avatar> with your arcanist levelz
03:39:44 <Mekkis> nope
03:39:51 <Mekkis> with the actual spell prepped
03:41:59 <Avatar> how did you know they were going to cast it
03:42:02 <Avatar> 6 is a great charisma
03:42:14 <Avatar> my wizard has 7
03:44:03 <Mekkis> spellcraft check
03:44:07 <Mekkis> I was on 0hp
03:44:15 <Mekkis> I just spent my actions readying
03:44:25 <Avatar> by the time you're spellcasting, it's too late to counterspell
03:44:29 <steven> i just disagree with that particular part.
03:44:30 <Avatar> spellcrafting*
03:44:35 <Mekkis> nope
03:44:47 <Mekkis> ready an action to counterspell
03:44:54 <Mekkis> Spellcraft check is not an action
03:45:05 <steven> An axebeak looks like an ostrich
03:45:18 <Avatar> but readying is a standard action
03:45:30 <steven> with a big razor sharp beak
03:45:58 <steven> I think dogs should probably have more cha then that.
03:46:43 <steven> anyways... I made a Halfling Druid w/ a dog animal companion.
03:47:12 <Tashes> Axebeak looks like a Cassowary
03:48:48 <Tashes> they can be majestic? i guess?
03:49:15 <steven> back.
03:49:19 <steven> no...
03:49:21 <steven> https://alzrius.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/pfaxebeak.jpg
03:49:57 <steven> https://cassowaryrecoveryteam.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/adult-at-etty-bay-c-tony-kennedy.jpg
03:50:32 <Tashes> https://images.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2F2.bp.blogspot.com%2F-EFNubN7oy90%2FTpb0-Nd45II%2FAAAAAAAABt0%2FOn8rQ6Z_MK4%2Fs400%2Fcass4.jpg&f=1
03:50:50 <steven> I understand if people dont like GMing, but show up for a year and a half every other week and you never once even offer to GM... even when another person(me) gets pulled off their table they signed up to play at... I'm going to give you stink eye.
03:50:57 <steven> I'll give the cassowary a 10cha
03:50:58 <Tashes> Identical.
03:51:16 <steven> the axebeak is not a 10cha animal.
03:52:38 <steven> readying to counterspell is a viable tactic if you know you're up against a spell caster.
03:53:51 <Tashes> yeah making someoen else do it is kind of jerky
03:57:31 <steven> I've GMed 190 times. I have put in enough tables to confidently say GMing is not hard.
03:58:55 <steven> If you've got a level 8-11 character you've all the experience you actually need to sit behind a GM screen unless you're rocking a double digit IQ... then hey fuck it you get a pass on GMing.
03:59:35 <Tashes> This is a pretty serious rant you're on...
04:00:16 <steven> there character is leveled up to the appropriot level
04:03:27 <Avatar> isn't that just some joker's drawing of an axebeak
04:04:01 <steven> no, that axebeak is from beast 3
04:04:11 <steven> its the official axebeak picture.
04:04:47 <steven> I am annoyed by it.
04:05:14 <Avatar> yeah look if you stare at it for a while you can see it has exotic features and you can't look away
04:06:06 <steven> not seein those mang.
04:07:14 <steven> I was pulled from my game to run Silent Tide because the person refused to GM. They sat down to play for no credit to make a table have 3pcs and a kyra bot run by a player rather then 3 players and a GM controlled Kyra.
04:08:37 <steven> so yeah... lil rant...
04:14:15 * Tashes pats
04:14:26 <Avatar> do they know how to GM
04:15:14 <Mekkis> steven, 50% of people have double-digit IQs
04:15:48 <Avatar> 78% of statistics are made up on the spot
04:16:07 <Mekkis> Avatar, by definition, the average IQ is 100.
04:18:01 <Tashes> Avatar has a crush
04:22:32 <Avatar> averages
04:22:45 <Avatar> that means some guy probably has like 20 while everyone else is 101
04:27:01 <steven> I know mekkis... but I like to believe that pathfinder brings to the table on average smarter people.
04:27:24 <Avatar> I actually agree with steven on that one
04:27:37 <Avatar> I see the kinds of people that play and the kinds that refuse to play
04:27:56 <Avatar> it's a sad state of affairs when you're not looking at a game of pathfinder
04:30:26 <steven> So... lets get off that topic... I bitched... it is off my chest. How bout them.....
04:30:27 <steven> uh....
04:30:34 <steven> paizo threads.
04:30:51 <Mekkis> Okay. Core.
04:31:17 <Mekkis> Is it the result of Paizo admitting that they've failed at:
04:31:28 <Mekkis> - releasing sufficient scenarios; and
04:31:35 <Mekkis> - controlling powerlevel
04:32:26 <steven> Nah...
04:33:08 <steven> I think thats a major component of Core Campaign, but there are some other really great benefits to it.
04:33:43 <Mekkis> sure, but now paizo can say: "Not enough scenarios?" "Play core"
04:33:55 <Mekkis> "Sick of unbalanced BS?" "Play core"
04:34:37 <steven> "Brand new to the game?" -play core.
04:34:52 <steven> "First time GMing?" -Gm Core.
04:35:30 <Avatar> I know how to appreciate conventional beauty
04:39:01 <Brunius_> I did think it was a bit sad that playing core is an odd thing now
04:41:08 <Mekkis> Tashes, I did not: I did however get to get some PFS in
04:41:44 <Mekkis> steven, sure, but is it Paizo tacitly admitting that they're unable to improve the scenario release schedule, or maintain balance. It feels like a band-aid solution
04:43:55 <steven> everything is a bandaid solution really. If they come out with 3 scenarios a month people will just play more.
04:44:13 <steven> If they hit more things with the ban hammer you get negative feedback on the forum.
04:45:00 <steven> just look at that early entry into evangalist thread
04:45:16 <steven> or the crane wing
04:45:27 <steven> or the synthesist summoner discussions
05:01:59 <Avatar> I realised that the bloodrager bears a striking similarity to the synthesist today
05:09:33 <steven> time to play some darkest dungeon
05:09:35 <steven> I always look at them as a Dragon Disciple w/o the perminent stat bonus.
05:11:55 <steven> I did make an Arcane Archer out of a Bloodrager.
05:12:02 <steven> It works pretty damn well.
05:13:07 <steven> i 'wasted' 5 build points on getting an int of 14
05:14:47 <steven> level 12 3d8+23+1d6 elemental w/ a +18 to hit.
05:17:16 <steven> i've avoided getting furious finish and just UMDing a wand of gravity bow.
05:18:14 <steven> 59+1d6 elemental
05:18:31 <steven> seems pretty silly
05:18:43 <s_gmusic> decided to run Malwarebytes earlier.
05:18:57 <steven> sadly i dont think i'll ever get to play that character again. GM finished college and moved back to seattle.
05:19:26 <s_gmusic> been running for 2.5 hours and has scanned over 265000 files. only 1 detected thing: my cracked .exe for mIRC that I've used for YEARS with no issue.
05:20:18 <steven> he came back to pullman for 2 days to pack up his stuff... we played 1 session that was 3 hours long.
05:20:37 <steven> and havent seen him in a month and a week now.
05:34:50 <Avatar> steven want a project?
05:35:03 <steven> !rand yes no maybe
05:35:11 <steven> !rng yes no maybe
05:35:12 <diebot> steven, no
05:35:14 <steven> nope.
05:35:16 <steven> not really.
05:35:19 <Avatar> wow thanks diebot
05:35:27 <Avatar> what an asshole
05:36:01 <steven> seriously
05:43:40 <steven> so whatcha doin that you need help on avatar.
05:47:02 <Avatar> I have a druid that needs to be retrained into a shaman
05:49:18 <steven> meh.
06:01:47 <Brunius> clearly it's a threat
06:01:54 <Mekkis> yep
06:02:05 <Mekkis> clearly Malwarebytes is outdates
06:02:05 <Brunius> you should switch to xchat
06:02:07 <Mekkis> outdated
06:02:10 <Mekkis> that too
06:08:18 <Avatar> I can't actually remember why I was looking over the archetypes
06:08:33 <Avatar> is something wrong with straight shaman
06:08:45 <Avatar> or do any of the archetypes really stand out
06:09:00 <Avatar> I don't remember anything amazing about speaker of the past
06:18:01 <Mekkis> !item muleback cords
06:18:13 <diebot> Mekkis, MULEBACK CORDS [faint transmutation] CL:3 shoulders 1000gp, 0.2lb
06:18:14 <diebot> These thick leather cords wrap around the wearer's biceps and shoulders. When worn, they make the wearer's muscles appear larger than normal. The wearer treats his Strength score as 8 higher than normal when determining his carrying capacity. This bonus does not apply to combat, breaking items, or any other Strength-related rolls, it only
06:18:14 <diebot> contributes to the amount of equipment or material the wearer can carry. Source: Ultimate Equipment
06:19:20 <Avatar> are you buying some muleback cords
06:19:30 <Mekkis> yes
06:19:34 <Mekkis> Ecidon needs them
06:19:45 <Mekkis> !capacity 15
06:19:45 <diebot> Mekkis, 66 if medium, 49.5 if small.
06:21:29 <Avatar> can an eidolon wear them
06:21:35 <Mekkis> yes
06:21:42 <Avatar> where's the faq for that
06:21:56 <Mekkis> no FAQ needed. APG states it
06:22:03 <Mekkis> also, Ecidon is not an eidolon
06:22:25 <Avatar> where
06:22:29 <steven> the only thing an eidolon cant wear is armor
06:24:01 <Avatar> I don't see any text saying it can wear anything
06:25:07 <Mekkis> Link (Ex)
06:25:07 <Mekkis> A summoner and his eidolon share a mental link allows for communication across any distance (as long as they are on the same plane). This communication is a free action, allowing the summoner to give orders to his eidolon at any time. In addition, magic items interfere with the summoner’s connection to his eidolon. As a result, the summoner and his eidolon share magic item slots. For example, if the summoner is wearing a ring, his eidolon can wear no
06:25:07 <Mekkis> more than one ring. In case of a conf lict, the items worn by the summoner remain active, and those used by the eidolon become dormant. The eidolon must possess the appropriate appendages to utilize a magic item.
06:25:19 <Avatar> oh found it
06:25:29 <Avatar> so you won't be wearing a shoulder slot
06:25:39 <Avatar> better to kill you with
06:25:54 <Mekkis> Ecidon is not an eidolon
06:27:01 <Avatar> lies
06:27:19 <Avatar> you're just trying to trick me into thinking you're not a summoner again
06:27:22 <Mekkis> Ecidon's to-hit is lower
06:27:31 <Avatar> because of the whole class isn't important debacle from yesterday
06:35:56 <steven> class totally isnt important.
06:38:48 <Brunius_> Class has an influence, it's not the only influencing factor
06:44:07 <Avatar> just pay for mirc
07:16:51 <Avatar> if you know what classes someone has, you immediately have an idea of what they're capable of
07:29:32 <Mekkis> possibly a mistaken idea
07:29:54 <Mekkis> Grolschmir is a druid
07:33:04 <Avatar> who has an animal companion
07:33:11 <Avatar> and can cast druid spells
07:55:47 <steven> so my new game of darkest dungeon is going really quite well... or maybe it just feels that way after the complete disaster that was my last game.
07:56:50 <steven> I've adopted the position that all the people I recruit are here to die for me, so once somebody gets a high stress level i just kick them out of town and recruit a new person.
08:03:28 <Avatar> sounds kind of evil
08:21:10 <Lintor> ello people
08:55:01 <steven> I'd say its NE
