01:22:30 <Avatar> yo
01:22:36 <Avatar> tashes what are you doing spamming us
01:22:37 <steven> hey
01:22:47 <steven> she has connection issues.
01:22:51 <Avatar> I had a closer look at the spirits today
01:22:55 <Avatar> flame looks pretty sweet
01:23:07 <Avatar> I actually already have on my character sheet that my aasimar's eyes can glow
01:23:19 <Avatar> and coincidentally, that's what a flame shaman's eyes can do
01:23:56 <Avatar> and with shiz like fireball on the spell list, that should keep me relevant forever
01:24:52 <Avatar> I was leaning towards heavens because, y'know, aasimar
01:25:34 <Avatar> and I didn't realise the shaman gets all of the best witch hexes as options
01:43:01 <steven> my head is bein an asshole today.
01:43:31 <Avatar> your head is being an asshole everyday
01:43:36 <Avatar> have you seen a doctor
01:43:53 <steven> yeah... they give me pain pills... i dont like pain pills because they make me feel all shitty
01:46:42 <Tashes> Avatar, irc makes a nice disconnect log. Iprimus doesn't recognise that i have a problem... yet
01:46:51 <Avatar> iprimus
01:46:54 <Avatar> that's your iproblem
01:46:56 <Avatar> get onto iinet
01:47:18 <steven> I have i think... 100+ hydros waiting for me at the pharmacy right now because the doctor put in a prescription for me. I refuse to take em.
01:48:00 <Brunius> good old iinet
01:48:14 <Brunius> although I think since internode merged with iinet they've fucked around with my plan
01:48:39 <Tashes> the choices here are iprimus, telstra, or nothing.
01:48:44 <Tashes> i can't afford telstra
01:49:49 <Tashes> my neighbours get 'node, but they "don't service this address"
02:01:46 steven has quit (EOF from client)
02:02:15 steven ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
02:36:15 Lintor ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
02:36:24 <Lintor> hello
02:56:30 <steven> sup
03:04:29 <s_gmusic> yo
03:07:15 <steven> how goes it mang.
03:10:21 <s_gmusic> not bad
03:10:37 <s_gmusic> got part of my tax return back, so getting ready to order some warmachine models.
03:13:05 <s_gmusic> you?
03:28:14 <steven> dickin around playin darkest dungeon
03:28:27 <steven> talkin with my friend rikki who is currently gettin drunk off her ass.
03:30:06 <s_gmusic> lol
03:30:35 <s_gmusic> been a while since I even managed a slight buzz... I need to go get some more everclear
03:33:52 <s_gmusic> just bought this for my b-day gift. it's worth it. http://privateerpress.com/warmachine/gallery/retribution-of-scyrah/colossals/hyperion
03:34:06 <s_gmusic> got it on sale for 90. :3
03:41:47 <steven> is that a good thing? i've no clue about warmachine stuff
03:44:15 <s_gmusic> It's the largest type of model you can play and each faction only has one. They're really powerful and cost a good number of points to be able to use (Armies are limited by a pool of points, you can use anything within your chosen faction to build an army with, up to the agreed upon number of points).
03:50:05 <s_gmusic> even if I don't actually use it in a game, I look forward more to building it
03:59:48 <steven> okay.
04:23:55 <Mekkis> so steven, noncon-race boons?
04:41:18 <s_gmusic> what =are- the current race boons?
04:43:56 <steven> sorry mekkis i havent looked. I been feelin like shit all day.
04:46:06 <steven> I think the answer is no though.

04:55:37 <steven> At no time may any trait, feat, equipment, magic item, skill, animal companion, familiar, or any other character option come from a source beyond these three resources unless it appears on a Chronicle sheet. Race boons found on Chronicle sheets may not be used in the Core Campaign.
04:56:11 <Mekkis> so Brock's post doesn't supercede that?
04:58:29 <steven> what post?
04:58:41 <steven> thats the post i found... did he make a different one?
05:04:46 <Mekkis> http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2p5c7&page=28?Boon-Trading-Thread#1376
05:06:26 <steven> okay. That doesn't modify the no race boons.
05:11:55 <Mekkis> The only exception is convention boons that allow non-core races.
05:12:15 <Mekkis> non-convention boons are fair game?
05:15:12 <steven> No. All boons are allowed to be applied to either core or classic PFS except holiday boons(because you cant earn them) and Race boons.
05:17:20 <Mekkis> That's not what Brock's statement said
05:17:48 <steven> That is what he said.
05:20:36 <Mekkis> The only exception is convention boons that allow non-core races.
05:20:55 <Mekkis> non-convention boons that allow non-core races, therefore, would be allowed
05:23:04 <steven> no, because its explicitly said that non convention boons that allow non-core races are not allowed.
05:23:10 <ulzef> Ello kids
05:23:51 <Mekkis> hi
05:24:42 <ulzef> how's things
05:24:46 <steven> chillin.
05:25:13 <steven> fixing some reporting errors for some core characters.
05:25:54 <ulzef> I am WotRing but I am a lvl 2 slumber hex witch
05:26:16 <steven> get out.
05:27:23 <ulzef> the person gming is our local power gamer so I made a half Orc sacred witch doctor with 20 con and 8 int and slumber hex
05:28:27 <ulzef> we worked out I should have 50+ con by the end of the campaign
05:28:44 <steven> what are you playing?
05:29:12 <ulzef> the witch archetype that uses con as it's caster stat
05:31:02 <ulzef> oh unless you mean the game and it's wrath of the righteous
05:31:22 <steven> oh dude... dont do a slumber witch for that game.
05:31:57 <steven> That entire campaign is fantastic with some of the most interesting combats they have ever designed.
05:32:15 <ulzef> I'm not just took the hex at lvl 2 I am going a shape shifter witch at higher lvls
05:33:12 <steven> wotr is pretty crazy.
05:33:14 <ulzef> I am scared witch doctor/hedge with with transformation patron
05:33:43 <steven> I was a Bloodrager Champion.
05:34:18 <ulzef> oh and ten alignment so I can get demon grafts
05:34:54 <ulzef> TN even
05:35:10 <ulzef> stupid phone auto correcting
05:35:48 <steven> I had like 636hp at the end of it.
05:36:23 <steven> I was able to go -72hp w/o dying.
05:37:03 <steven> and if somehow i managed to die i stayed around in my body for 13 rounds.
05:37:06 <ulzef> I will be able to go about - 200
05:37:41 <steven> i forgot rage... add like 100hp.
05:38:55 <ulzef> my bab will be like 25 by the end
05:39:18 <ulzef> hi rashes
05:39:39 <ulzef> ah god dan phone sorry tashes
05:39:44 <steven> last fight my attacks were +46/46/41/36/31 for 1d8+42 if I crit I did 234 damage if I crit a demon I did 298.
05:40:02 <ulzef> nice
05:40:34 <steven> AC 62 w/ Immediate action +10 dodge AC.
05:41:26 <ulzef> we have me a half orc with a Orc barb/cleric a human mercy healer a gun paladin a shilf Druid and a fight going noble scion
05:43:10 <steven> saves of 39/16/20 +2 vs Death Effects, +3 vs Will, +4 vs Enchantment spells and effects, +4 vs poison, +4 vs Evil spells and effects or spells and effects cast by evil creatures.
05:43:16 <steven> and so on and so forth
05:43:29 <steven> my sheet was completely full by the end of the game.
05:43:50 <steven> AND i was the <redacted> of <redacted>
05:44:01 <steven> which gave me a whole slew of abilities.
05:44:34 <steven> the sad part was i was not the most powerful person in the party.
05:45:26 <steven> that belong to the Warpriest of Torag who vital strike'd at least 2 times a round and if he crit did 1800 or so damage.
05:46:49 <steven> this was before the final version came out in the ACG where they got a slight nerf... but still vital strike w/ mythic rules is just dumb.
05:47:57 <ulzef> yeah our gm nerfed the feat already
05:48:39 <steven> its a really dumb feat.
05:48:55 <steven> all my vital strikes are crits! yay!
05:49:37 <steven> hey i have a legendary weapon! I have mythic vital strike... my vital strike is a crit that then deals double damage.
05:50:10 <ulzef> we did to mythic 3 in another game and had a power attack vital striking paladin with both being mythic so the gm nerfed it for this
05:51:45 <steven> In our kingmaker game we have 1 mythic tier, and my arcane archer is a vital striker.
05:52:18 <steven> and the GM was like NO YOU CANT TAKE MYTHIC VITAL STRIKE!
05:52:38 <steven> which was funny... because i didnt want to take it anyways.
05:52:41 <ulzef> lol
05:53:21 <steven> I do 3d8+23+1d6 elemental
05:54:01 <steven> i think thats enough damage for one shot.
05:54:25 <steven> i crit on a 19-20.
05:54:42 <steven> and i can fire just shy of 1/2 of a mile.
05:56:25 <steven> or through the ground
05:56:38 <steven> and around corners.
05:57:06 <steven> I dont think we are going to get to finish the game however. the gm moved back to seattle at the start of janruary.
05:57:46 <steven> after a devistating session where we did mass combat and his average dice roll was a 17.
05:58:05 <steven> so he slaughted the fuck out of our armies.
05:58:25 <steven> because our average dice roll was like a 5.
05:59:21 <steven> mass combat easily the worst system that has been designed.
06:00:24 <ulzef> baht the caravan rules for jade reagent are worse
06:00:36 <steven> i havent interacted with those yet.
06:00:56 <steven> but do you get to use your character's skills and abilities or are they taken away completely
06:01:10 <ulzef> taken away
06:01:23 <steven> ah... so it is exactly like mass combat in that way.
06:02:04 <ulzef> except for like 2 fights and you have no more wagon
06:02:42 <steven> sounds like mass combat.
06:24:43 <Avatar> yep
06:24:47 <Brunius> huh
06:24:48 <Avatar> I have been playing evolve all night also
06:24:48 <Lintor> avatar what time you on until tonight?
06:24:51 <Brunius> something's funky with my install then
06:24:58 <Avatar> I am about an hour overdue for bed
06:24:59 <Brunius> keeps freezing my comp, now it won't connect
06:25:14 <Avatar> reboot or reinstall
06:25:26 <Lintor> wanna play some evolve tomorrow?
06:26:09 <Avatar> undoubtedly
06:26:28 <steven> is more cha better then less cha... yes. but that doesnt mean you NEED 6 uses of an ability that makes you enlarge or that lets you do a touch attack that deals 1d6+1/2lvl
06:26:31 <Avatar> a lot earlier than this though
06:26:49 <Avatar> steven: I notice you couldn't find me a spirit
06:27:09 <Avatar> I don't blame you, I couldn't find one either
06:27:19 <Avatar> nothing that is acceptable with 10 cha
06:27:41 <Avatar> what was I thinking, a 10 cha aasimar
06:27:46 <steven> be a battle shaman.
06:27:54 <Avatar> I don't want to be a battle shaman
06:27:59 <Avatar> ideally I wanted heavens
06:28:15 <Avatar> anything else I could work with, but not battle
06:28:32 <Avatar> although my stats might force me to go battle
06:29:18 <steven> so.... be a heavens oracle?
06:29:24 <Avatar> needs cha!
06:29:32 <Avatar> heavens shaman
06:29:54 <steven> not really?
06:30:40 <Lintor> so avatar what game you thinking of running?
06:30:47 <Avatar> 2 of the 4 hexes require cha
06:30:54 <Avatar> what's your poison
06:31:01 <Avatar> do you want core or non-core
06:31:08 <Lintor> ether or
06:31:15 <Avatar> wounded wisp is on my radar
06:31:39 <Avatar> I haven't looked at it yet and forgot to buy it during the sale as expected
06:32:17 <steven> if by 2 out of 4 you mean one out of five heavens hexs you are correct. the ONE hex that uses it sucks pretty hard.
06:33:04 <Avatar> 2 of 5 sorry
06:33:16 <Lintor> sounds good have not played yet have both core and non core i would be happy to play it on
06:33:36 <Avatar> cool
06:34:12 <steven> the only heavens hex that uses cha is starburn. It has uses 3+cha and does 1d6/2 levels fort halves.
06:34:31 <steven> not 3+cha
06:34:36 <Avatar> Guiding Star (Su): Whenever the shaman can see the open sky at night, she can determine her precise location and can add her Wisdom modifier to her Charisma modifier on all Charisma-based skill checks. In addition, once per night while outdoors, she can cast one spell as if it were modified by the Empower Spell, Extend Spell, Silent Spell, or Still Spell feat without increasing the spell's casting
06:34:36 <Avatar> time or level. The shaman doesn't need to possess the feat to use this ability.
06:34:48 <steven> its uses of Cha mod.
06:35:03 <Avatar> to be fair, I don't know how often I will be outside at night to cast matamagicked spells
06:35:28 <steven> why dont you just give that guiding star a read again...
06:35:43 <Avatar> I have read it yo
06:36:20 <Avatar> ok bedtime
06:36:31 <steven> its 1/night for metamagic and you add your wis to cha based skills while under the night sky.
06:36:59 <steven> absolutely nothing to do with having a positive cha mod... infact i'd say it actually encourages you not have a high cha mod.
06:38:16 <steven> the only abilities that use a positive cha mod are the starburn which let you do 1d6/2 levels a number of times per day equal to cha mod and stardust that gives enemies a penalty to hit a number of times per day equal to 3+cha mod.
06:38:53 <steven> the former is a hex, the latter is a spirit ability
06:39:28 <steven> the spirit ability is decent, but I wouldnt really invest in it very much.
06:52:35 <steven> what to buy what to buy
07:06:11 <steven> Cleric/Loremaster.
07:08:43 <tashes_> rope.
07:10:29 <steven> I already got rope.
07:10:40 <steven> nonmagical supplies are set.
07:38:53 <Mekkis> Wow!
07:38:54 <Mekkis> http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2p5c7&page=28?Boon-Trading-Thread#1376
07:39:26 <Mekkis> So non-con race boons are allowed in core?!
07:46:47 <steven> iunno
07:50:40 <steven> I got my terrible cleric and terrible druid.
07:52:18 <steven> i'll reread it tomorrow when im not headaching out

12:35:31 <Brunius> I won't be
12:35:45 <Avatar> mate we are surprised if you do show up
12:35:49 <Avatar> the default is that you won't

16:17:16 <Avatar> yeah anything on a chronicle can be applied to core campaign
16:17:34 <Avatar> they probably included uncommon races for simplicity's sake
16:18:13 <Avatar> GMs never have to adjudicate races
16:18:39 <Avatar> you can play a tiefling but can't choose any of its op options

20:52:46 <Brunius> I played it a couple times during the beta, using my brother's copy
20:52:50 <Brunius> I didn't think it was that great
20:52:54 <Avatar> you were wrong
20:53:41 <Avatar> maybe you were playing a different game
20:55:43 <Avatar> sounds from the podcast that soverign court is now the worst faction
20:55:50 <Avatar> I guess you would like it mekkis
20:56:00 <Avatar> it involves not sharing information with the party
20:56:20 <Brunius> I was playing with americans
20:56:31 <Avatar> there's problem #1
20:56:49 <Avatar> ah? they are making liberty's edge so you have to free slaves
20:56:50 <Brunius> y

21:40:18 <Avatar> it was $2 more than the base game on g2play
21:41:00 <Brunius> it has DLC out already?
21:41:06 <Brunius> hasn't the game been out for like a week?
21:41:20 <Avatar> day one DLC

23:38:12 <diebot> Avatar, Know Direction 101 - Strategic Society
23:56:59 <steven> firt time since sunday i woke up without a pounding headache.
