22:42 <Steven> i think thats just called brisket
23:55 <Avatar> GM won't stop rolling high saves to my hexes :(
59:04 <Mekkis> maybe your hexes annoy the GM
00:07 <steven> yo
06:26 <Avatar> they can't, they aren't working
06:44 <Mekkis> sure they can. Some GMs hate hexes
16:05 <Avatar> this GM is pretty lax
16:23 <Avatar> the only overpower going on is healing, and even that's not covering us terribly well
57:31 <Avatar> yo
58:54 <Mekkis> what game are you playing?
59:04 <Avatar> fate
59:24 <Mekkis> of the fiend?
59:25 <Mekkis> ah
59:27 <Mekkis> fun fun fun
08:44 <Avatar> just finished
08:51 <Avatar> 6 hour game I think
08:58 <Avatar> or 6.5
09:02 <Avatar> I lost track as to when we started
09:08 <Avatar> dumb timezones
09:17 <Avatar> and sites that don't convert times automatically when you log in
13:16 <steven> how goes it?
37:48 <Mekkis> Avatar, tree climbing?
38:42 <Avatar> oh yes
38:48 <Avatar> www.treesadventure.com
38:54 <Avatar> barrels of fun
39:54 <Mekkis> 404
40:52 <Avatar> er
40:54 <Mekkis> did you miss an au?
40:55 <Avatar> www.treesadventure.com.au
41:05 <Avatar> apparently spaceshot is female now
41:19 <Mekkis> oh
41:50 <Mekkis> that seems awesome. Was it a work thing?
43:10 <Avatar> a work thing?
43:16 <Avatar> what does that mean
43:27 <steven> fun stuff
43:43 <Mekkis> some work-organised activity/
45:52 <Avatar> like what?
46:01 <Avatar> I mean real deal
46:14 <Philderbeast> hey
46:20 <Avatar> phil
46:29 <Avatar> trees isnt' work organised
46:36 <Avatar> I go at least once every spring and autumn
46:40 <Mekkis> how often do you do it?
46:42 <Philderbeast> hows things going
46:43 <Avatar> I had a couple of days off because they were taking the network down
46:49 <Mekkis> ah
47:00 <Avatar> you normally have to book it a month in advance if you plan on going on a weekend
47:11 <Avatar> today I booked it about an hour in advance
47:30 <Mekkis> ah
51:26 <steven> hey phil
51:28 <steven> hows tricks?
56:58 <Philderbeast> yea been really busy latly
10:34 <Brunius> Avatar` not now
10:44 <Brunius> I have uni during the day though
11:42 <Mekkis> I'd be up for it when I'm down there
11:50 <steven> life does that.
12:11 <Brunius> oh when
12:24 <Mekkis> 02-04-15
14:05 <Avatar`> yeah we can do that
14:14 <Avatar`> when does conquest start?
14:19 <Steven> yo
14:21 <Mekkis> 03-04-2015
14:35 <Avatar`> man that's cutting it close
14:46 <Avatar`> I usually take a day off before the con to do GM prep
14:47 <Mekkis> oh?
14:50 <Avatar`> maps usually
14:58 <Mekkis> that's cutting it close, man
15:53 <Avatar`> for maps it doesn't matter
15:53 <Mekkis> I usually try to get maps done two weeks before the con
16:38 <Avatar`> I don't even know what to GM yet
16:58 <Avatar`> stephen always wants the latest releases to take priority and I've played nothing season 6 since arcanacon
17:01 Avatar has quit (Quit: Spend social security on games.)
17:03 <Avatar`> I don't like most of season 6
17:15 <Avatar`> technic siege might have been alright if I hadn't been sidelined the whole scenario
17:50 <Mekkis> season six is a bitch to prep
18:00 <Avatar`> why
18:46 <Mekkis> so many complications
19:05 <Avatar> john d ran trial by machine pretty damn well
19:07 <Philderbeast> yea hopefully ill start to get some free weekends again so i can play/gm some pfs
19:10 <Avatar> but the maps in it look like a nightmare to me
19:16 <Avatar> great for an online game, terrible to print
19:31 <Avatar> it annoys me that I'm still not familiar with how to do it
19:39 <Avatar> john used A4 pages but I have no idea how to split it
20:07 <Avatar> in any case, that's an older season 6 that most everyone has likely played, so it barely counts
21:26 <Mekkis> I ran beacon below
21:52 <Mekkis> For starters, they make you stat out some monster from two books, plus a couple of mythic tiers.
22:02 <Avatar> I was told beacon below was particularly difficult to prep
22:09 <Mekkis> Then, they take bits away from you. The final map's a complete bitch.
22:24 <Avatar> how do other season 6s compare to that though
24:21 <Mekkis> Paths we choose was pretty easy to prep. Stonelords was a special.
24:36 <Steven> overflow archive is pretty awesome.
24:48 <Mekkis> Haven't dealt with any of the others, though I'm planning on running Slave Master's Mirror next month
24:49 <Avatar> I would imagine paths we choose would've been tricky if you didn't know what factions to prep for
25:01 <Avatar> although it ultimately felt like quite a small scenario
35:19 <Steven> i dunno, at gencon i ran it.
35:34 <Avatar> run something for us steven
35:49 <Steven> didnt know what factions were gonna be at my table.
35:59 <Steven> wasnt difficult
36:52 <Steven> its basically like 6 quests takes about 20 minutes to read the backround on the factions you end up getting.
37:06 <Steven> i did that part while they were introducing themselves.
37:42 <Steven> granted you prep the whole thing and then do a refresh, i dont reccomend running cold.
38:09 <Avatar> hmmm ok
38:18 <Avatar> I feel stupid for not buying more scenarios during the sale
38:24 <Avatar> I bought a ton of season 0s
38:35 <Avatar> even though I really hate trying to read those season 0 scenarios
38:37 <Steven> cant run anything, im getting everythhing ready for wardens of the reborn forge tomorrow.
38:47 <Avatar> not now
38:49 <Avatar> just sometime
38:50 <Steven> on my character.
39:02 <Steven> gonna get my -01 to greater then 12.
39:13 <Steven> I used a rebuild and now he is much better then he originally was.
42:38 <Mekkis> !spell death knell
42:44 <diebot> Mekkis, DEATH KNELL necromancy ([death, evil]) antipaladin 1, cleric/oracle 2, inquisitor 2, witch 2 1 standard action Range: touch living creature touched Comp: V, S Duration: instantaneous/10 minutes per HD of subject; see text Save: Will negates SR:yesSource: PFRPG Core
42:44 <diebot> You draw forth the ebbing life force of a creature and use it to fuel your own power. Upon casting this spell, you touch a living creature that has -1 or fewer hit points. If the subject fails its saving throw, it dies, and you gain 1d8 temporary hit points and a +2 enhancement bonus to Strength. Additionally, your effective caster level goes up by
42:44 <diebot> +1, improving spell effects dependent on caster level. This increase in effective caster level does not grant you access to more spells. These effects last for 10 minutes per HD of the subject creature.
47:49 <Mekkis> !spell death knell, greater
47:49 <diebot> Mekkis, DEATH KNELL AURA, GREATER necromancy ([death, evil]) cleric/oracle 6, inquisitor 6, sorcerer/wizard 6, witch 6 1 standard action Range: 20 ft.  Comp: V, S Duration: 1 round/level (D) Save: Will negates SR:yesSource: Horsemen Of The Apocalypse
47:50 <diebot> This spell functions as death knell aura, except a dying creature in the area cannot stabilize on its own and automatically takes 1 point of bleed damage on its turn each round. An incorporeal undead or living spirit traveling outside the body (such as a person using astral projection or magic jar) within the aura at the start of its turn takes 1d8
47:50 <diebot> points of damage.
47:57 <Mekkis> !spell death knell aura
47:58 <diebot> Mekkis, DEATH KNELL AURA necromancy ([death, evil]) cleric/oracle 4, inquisitor 4, sorcerer/wizard 4, witch 4 1 standard action Range: 20 ft.  Comp: V, S Duration: 1 round/level (D) Save: Will negates SR:yesSource: Horsemen Of The Apocalypse
47:58 <diebot> You gain a shimmering gray aura that feeds on the souls of creatures who die within it. The aura sheds light as a candle. If a creature at -1 or fewer hit points is within the aura at the start of its turn, it must save or die, granting you the benefits of death knell.
38:47 <Mekkis> true seeing
38:49 <steven> domains spell.
39:00 <Mekkis> still on the list
39:17 <Mekkis> and you can still cast it without making a check if your CL is 11
39:24 <Mekkis> Restoration
40:01 <steven> right now im just writing in my 'standard' spell selection.
40:12 <Mekkis> oh, I was suggesting scrolls
42:35 <steven> I would like true seeing a bunch more if it was 10m/level
44:15 <Mekkis> We all would
44:21 <Mekkis> Greater Arcane Sight
45:31 <Avatar> Mekkis: I wasn't clear earlier, I am still keen to go tree climbing when you're here
45:48 <Avatar> I'll manage prepping some other way, or possibly earlier/later in the day
46:13 <steven> i think im just going to stick w/ see invisibility and if i need to know whats on a creature hit em with my rounds/level analyze dweomer
47:32 <steven> I auto identify 9th level spell effects.
49:58 <Mekkis> I still haven't organised how I'm getting down there, but flying seems reasonable.
59:22 <Avatar> sounds very reasonable
59:44 <steven> im gonna prep ghoul army lol
01:19 <Mekkis> Avatar, Brunius, ulzef: are you interested in playing No Plunder, No Pay at Conquest?
01:54 <Mekkis> other option includes carpooling
02:23 <Avatar> al rigg is holding something else in sydney that same weekend
02:38 <Avatar> which sounded serious, because he advertised it everywhere
02:42 <Brunius> do many people from canberra come down for conquest, Mekkis ?
04:27 <Mekkis> no.
05:08 <Avatar> Whitey: where are you located
05:52 <Mekkis> ICANN states in the Asia-pacific area
06:08 <Mekkis> main reason I do is because I've been going to Melbourne cons since before I came to Canberra
06:47 <Mekkis> Avatar, Brunius: DST/Civ?
06:58 <Brunius> DST?
07:08 <Mekkis> Don't starve, together
07:29 <Avatar> about to play some sc2
07:42 <Brunius> people still play that?
07:57 <Mekkis> crazy koreans do
08:39 <steven> hey
08:58 <Brunius> I'm not goin-oh, I might be
09:06 <Mekkis> oh?
09:16 <Mekkis> hrej
26:18 <Steven1> yo
28:51 <Mekkis> how is uni treating you, Brunius ?
31:36 <Brunius> eh
32:11 <Mekkis> ya

37:37 <diebot> Mekkis, MASTER CRAFTSMAN []Prereq:  5 ranks in any Craft or Profession skill.  Your superior crafting skills allow you to create simple magic items.
37:38 <diebot> Benefit:  Choose one Craft or Profession skill in which you possess at least 5 ranks. You receive a +2 bonus on your chosen Craft or Profession skill. Ranks in your chosen skill count as your caster level for the purposes of qualifying for the Craft Magic Arms and Armor and Craft Wondrous Item feats. You can create magic items using these feats,
37:38 <diebot> substituting your ranks in the chosen skill for your total caster level. You must use the chosen skill for the check to create the item. The DC to create the item still increases for any necessary spell requirements (see the magic item creation rules in Magic Items). You cannot use this feat to create any spell-trigger or spell-activation item.

56:04 <Brunius> Avatar Mekkis is PFS up on the conquest aon yet?
08:22 <Mekkis> don't think so
09:35 <Mekkis> If Avatar, Brunius and ulzef are up for it, I was considering offering to run No Plunder, No Pay at Conquest
10:03 <Brunius> I don't know if I'm gonna be able to make it, things are a bit up in the air at the moment
10:18 <Brunius> I'm planning to be there on sunday, but not playing PFS
12:17 <Mekkis> even two out of three...
24:53 <steven> back.
31:51 <Steven> anyone have an electronic copy of the pathfinder society primer?
32:13 <Steven> i only have the physical and i left it down at the shop.
32:53 <Mekkis> let me check
32:56 <Steven> dont want to drive down there at this particular moment.
41:31 <Mekkis> don't think I ever bothered getting it: it was a pretty dumb book
42:53 <Steven> i liked it... suppose i'll just have to wait till i go down to the shop tonight.
42:59 <Steven> Playin Wardens of the Reborn Forge.
43:51 <Mekkis> is it good?
46:16 <Mekkis> Ah. Google wins again. Want the link?
49:34 <Mekkis> Steven?
49:56 <Steven> sorry was watching a movie
49:56 <Steven> link for what?
50:04 <Steven> for primer?
50:15 <Mekkis> yeah
50:19 <Steven> nah, i can wait till later today.
50:34 <Mekkis> I googled PZO9435.pdf
50:52 <Steven> cool
50:54 <Mekkis> Oh, did I tell you that I FINALLY managed to counter a spell in PFS?
51:12 <Steven> woot woot!
51:28 <Mekkis> without using Dispel Magic
51:33 <Steven> nice.
52:58 <Mekkis> My next goal will be to counter a spell with its opposite
53:13 <Mekkis> although I think that's nigh-impossible
53:24 <Avatar> pass on plunder
53:31 <Avatar> conquest is on aon
53:34 <Avatar> there's no schedule yet
00:10 <Steven> i kinda want pancakes.

39:57 <Mekkis> when is the earliest one can take levels in a prestige class?
40:59 <Avatar> 6th level I think
41:11 <Avatar> snickers can finally afford a ring of blink
41:15 <Mekkis> there are no strange exceptions?
41:19 <Avatar> I don't know if I trust the blink spell?
41:29 <Mekkis> trust it to do what?
41:30 <Avatar> I don't think there are since the FAQ went obsolete
41:39 <Mekkis> what level is snickers anyway?
41:42 <Avatar> you have a 50% chance to miss your own attacks don't you
41:45 <Avatar> level 10
41:49 <Mekkis> 20%
42:20 <Avatar> that would apply to anything you try to target wouldn't it
42:28 <Avatar> or is it anything at all
42:37 <Mekkis> I would say so, but I'm not sure
42:42 <Mekkis> !spell blink

43:04 <diebot> On command, this ring makes the wearer blink, as the blink spell. Source: Ultimate Equipment
44:07 <Mekkis> keep in mind, I think the ring requires activation; you're only blinking for seven rounds per standard action....
44:26 <Avatar> should be fine
44:36 <Avatar> it's unlimited use otherwise yeah
44:43 <Avatar> on command
44:49 <Mekkis> yeah
44:54 <Avatar> do you reckon it's no good
45:00 <Mekkis> it just means it uses your standards.
45:02 <Avatar> someone recommended this item to me and I think it was you
45:07 <Mekkis> I'm not saying that
45:09 <Mekkis> not at all
45:27 <Avatar> it's a pretty expensive item
45:28 <Mekkis> it just might not be /that/ good
46:21 <Mekkis> at higher levels, its the number of actions you have, rather than the number of spells you have. most of my high-level casters would just cast blink, or mirror image... rather than dishing out for that
46:42 <Mekkis> !spell mirror image

47:11 <Mekkis> neither of which appears to be on the witch list, which is your problem, ja?
48:40 <Avatar> witches, man
48:49 <Avatar> I get slumber hex instead
50:08 <Mekkis> the standard action you're using to activate your ring is a standard action you're not using to slumber an enemy.
54:24 <Avatar> yeah I know
54:44 <Avatar> not sure what I could get to get around that
54:46 <Mekkis> Deceased is now preparing Quickened Mirror Image
54:47 <Avatar> what other item
55:01 <Avatar> a quicken rod won't help me
55:01 <Mekkis> there IS mistmail
55:09 <Avatar> oh yeah mistmail
55:11 <Avatar> someone mentioned that
55:27 <Mekkis> you sure? quickened haste is a good thing
55:56 <Mekkis> lets you haste and slumber in the same round
56:28 <Avatar> witches don't need haste
56:35 <Avatar> haste + slumber is a bit overkill
56:36 <Mekkis> but your party does
56:45 <Avatar> yeah but if that's the case I can just cast haste
56:57 <Avatar> I don't think I have too many casts of that
57:07 <Avatar> no wait that is a filthy lie
57:14 <Avatar> 3-4 hastes generally
57:15 <Avatar> anyone got the link to the scenarios by geographic location anywhere? from paizo.com
57:20 <Avatar> I can't find it anymore
57:20 <Mekkis> heh
57:21 <Avatar> but it's still not something to quicken
57:31 <Avatar> something like mirror image would be
57:38 <Mekkis> so the rod would give you three additional standard actions in combat per day!
57:44 <Mekkis> that's definitely worth it!
59:27 <Avatar> but it's the wrong kind of standard action
59:49 <Avatar> I am constantly worrying about AoOs
02:00 <Avatar> blerg mistmail is once per day
02:29 <Avatar> I guess it's cheap enough I could buy like 4 of them
02:48 <Avatar> that sounds like it'd start to fill up the haversack
03:38 <Avatar> mistmail is out I think
03:47 <Avatar> last resort option
10:07 <Mekkis> !item mistmail
10:10 <diebot> Mekkis, MISTMAIL [faint conjuration] CL:3 armor 2250gp, 25lb
10:10 <diebot> The fine links of this +1 chain shirt form a pattern of roiling clouds. On command once per day, the wearer can transform it into thick fog that fills his space and provides concealment (20% miss chance). This mist moves with the character. Effects that disperse the mist or destroy it cause the armor to reform into its solid shape on the
10:10 <diebot> character's body, as does speaking the command word or entering a place where the fog-magic doesn't function (such as underwater). If the character tries to don another suit of armor while the mistmail is in fog form, it reforms at the character's feet. Source: Ultimate Equipment
10:23 <Mekkis> why? Turn it on at the start of the day.
11:02 <Mekkis> And why are you worrying about AoOs? Can't you cast defensively
11:33 <Mekkis> also: quickened spells don't provoke
24:08 <Avatar> I'm worried about AoOs if I need to move
24:18 <Avatar> out of a threatened area, for example
24:48 <Avatar> is mistmail's effect permanent once you turn it on?
25:01 <Avatar> why would you ever turn it off
26:53 <Avatar> if I had any defensive spells like mirror image or blink, i'd consider quicken
27:30 <Avatar> I get obscuring mist and fog cloud and mount
28:19 <Avatar> I really don't like those fog spells, it usually changes the course of the encounter in a bad way
39:25 <Mekkis> defensively cast Dimension Door?
39:42 <Mekkis> have you got a 'Get out of grapple free" item yet?
40:32 <Avatar> unfettered shirt
58:53 <Mekkis> did you see the magical wrist sheath in the ACG?

18:45 <diebot> Mekkis, 17
19:30 <Avatar> somehow I've forgotten all about threefold aspect lasting 24 hours
19:37 <Avatar> wonder if it's worth using that
23:50 <Avatar> can mistmail be made from special materials
23:59 <Avatar> I don't like that 20% arcane spell failure
34:34 <Mekkis> no
34:53 <Mekkis> when it's in fog form, I don't believe it counts
35:09 <Avatar> er, really
36:30 <Avatar> does that mean the armor bonus doesn't apply either
40:18 <Mekkis> I would say so
40:22 <Mekkis> but. Mage armour
46:26 <Avatar> okay mistmail is suddenly looking much more attractive
02:09 <Mekkis> Some GMs say that the mist isn't enough to hide in. They're wrong, but there's nothing you can do about it.
03:21 <Mekkis> !capacity 14
03:22 <diebot> Mekkis, 58 if medium, 43.5 if small.
04:24 <Avatar> what do you reckon on threefold aspect
07:50 <Mekkis> crap
08:49 <Mekkis> Enhancement bonus means that it doesn't stack with that headband I know you have
10:57 <Avatar> I'm looking at the con bonus
14:30 <Mekkis> get a belt?
15:39 <Avatar> oh yeah I do
15:44 <Avatar> so that screws me
18:06 <Mekkis> what is Snickers' con?
18:29 <Mekkis> Deceased sucked it in, got a +4 belt, and toughness
19:12 <Mekkis> with eight levels in a prestige class, you lose out on the favoured class bonus

58:12 <Mekkis> maybe your hexes annoy the GM
05:34 <Avatar> they can't, they aren't working
05:51 <Mekkis> sure they can. Some GMs hate hexes
15:12 <Avatar> this GM is pretty lax
15:31 <Avatar> the only overpower going on is healing, and even that's not covering us terribly well

40:49 <Mekkis> when is the earliest one can take levels in a prestige class?
41:51 <Avatar> 6th level I think
42:03 <Avatar> snickers can finally afford a ring of blink
42:08 <Mekkis> there are no strange exceptions?
42:11 <Avatar> I don't know if I trust the blink spell?
42:21 <Mekkis> trust it to do what?
42:22 <Avatar> I don't think there are since the FAQ went obsolete
42:32 <Mekkis> what level is snickers anyway?
42:34 <Avatar> you have a 50% chance to miss your own attacks don't you
42:37 <Avatar> level 10
42:42 <Mekkis> 20%
43:12 <Avatar> that would apply to anything you try to target wouldn't it
43:20 <Avatar> or is it anything at all
43:30 <Mekkis> I would say so, but I'm not sure
43:34 <Mekkis> !spell blink

43:56 <diebot> Mekkis, RING OF BLINKING [moderate transmutation] CL:7 ring 27000gp, 0lb
43:56 <diebot> On command, this ring makes the wearer blink, as the blink spell. Source: Ultimate Equipment
44:59 <Mekkis> keep in mind, I think the ring requires activation; you're only blinking for seven rounds per standard action....
45:18 <Avatar> should be fine
45:28 <Avatar> it's unlimited use otherwise yeah
45:36 <Avatar> on command
45:41 <Mekkis> yeah
45:46 <Avatar> do you reckon it's no good
45:52 <Mekkis> it just means it uses your standards.
45:54 <Avatar> someone recommended this item to me and I think it was you
45:59 <Mekkis> I'm not saying that
46:02 <Mekkis> not at all
46:19 <Avatar> it's a pretty expensive item
46:20 <Mekkis> it just might not be /that/ good
47:13 <Mekkis> at higher levels, its the number of actions you have, rather than the number of spells you have. most of my high-level casters would just cast blink, or mirror image... rather than dishing out for that
47:34 <Mekkis> !spell mirror image

48:03 <Mekkis> neither of which appears to be on the witch list, which is your problem, ja?
49:32 <Avatar> witches, man
49:41 <Avatar> I get slumber hex instead
51:01 <Mekkis> the standard action you're using to activate your ring is a standard action you're not using to slumber an enemy.

53:16 <Mekkis> should just always show it as UTC
53:34 <Mekkis> When does DST end?
55:16 <Avatar> yeah I know
55:36 <Avatar> not sure what I could get to get around that
55:38 <Mekkis> Deceased is now preparing Quickened Mirror Image
55:39 <Avatar> what other item
55:53 <Avatar> a quicken rod won't help me
55:54 <Mekkis> there IS mistmail
56:01 <Avatar> oh yeah mistmail
56:03 <Avatar> someone mentioned that
56:20 <Mekkis> you sure? quickened haste is a good thing
56:48 <Mekkis> lets you haste and slumber in the same round
57:20 <Avatar> witches don't need haste
57:27 <Avatar> haste + slumber is a bit overkill
57:28 <Mekkis> but your party does
57:37 <Avatar> yeah but if that's the case I can just cast haste
57:49 <Avatar> I don't think I have too many casts of that
57:59 <Avatar> no wait that is a filthy lie
58:06 <Avatar> 3-4 hastes generally
58:13 <Mekkis> heh
58:13 <Avatar> but it's still not something to quicken
58:23 <Avatar> something like mirror image would be
58:30 <Mekkis> so the rod would give you three additional standard actions in combat per day!
58:36 <Mekkis> that's definitely worth it!
00:19 <Avatar> but it's the wrong kind of standard action
00:41 <Avatar> I am constantly worrying about AoOs
02:53 <Avatar> blerg mistmail is once per day
03:21 <Avatar> I guess it's cheap enough I could buy like 4 of them
03:40 <Avatar> that sounds like it'd start to fill up the haversack
04:30 <Avatar> mistmail is out I think
04:39 <Avatar> last resort option
11:00 <Mekkis> !item mistmail
11:02 <diebot> Mekkis, MISTMAIL [faint conjuration] CL:3 armor 2250gp, 25lb
11:02 <diebot> The fine links of this +1 chain shirt form a pattern of roiling clouds. On command once per day, the wearer can transform it into thick fog that fills his space and provides concealment (20% miss chance). This mist moves with the character. Effects that disperse the mist or destroy it cause the armor to reform into its solid shape on the
11:02 <diebot> character's body, as does speaking the command word or entering a place where the fog-magic doesn't function (such as underwater). If the character tries to don another suit of armor while the mistmail is in fog form, it reforms at the character's feet. Source: Ultimate Equipment
11:15 <Mekkis> why? Turn it on at the start of the day.
11:31 Steven1 has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
11:54 <Mekkis> And why are you worrying about AoOs? Can't you cast defensively
12:26 <Mekkis> also: quickened spells don't provoke
25:00 <Avatar> I'm worried about AoOs if I need to move
25:10 <Avatar> out of a threatened area, for example
25:40 <Avatar> is mistmail's effect permanent once you turn it on?
25:53 <Avatar> why would you ever turn it off
27:45 <Avatar> if I had any defensive spells like mirror image or blink, i'd consider quicken
28:22 <Avatar> I get obscuring mist and fog cloud and mount
29:11 <Avatar> I really don't like those fog spells, it usually changes the course of the encounter in a bad way

20:22 <Avatar> somehow I've forgotten all about threefold aspect lasting 24 hours
20:29 <Avatar> wonder if it's worth using that
24:42 <Avatar> can mistmail be made from special materials
24:51 <Avatar> I don't like that 20% arcane spell failure
33:01 <steven> Primal magic sucks...
33:31 <steven> mostly when your GM is being far to liberal with primal magic events.
34:22 <steven> and changing the rules so its more difficult to use items...
34:28 <steven> seriously... it really sucks.
35:27 <Mekkis> no
35:46 <Mekkis> when it's in fog form, I don't believe it counts
36:01 <Avatar> er, really
36:06 <steven> my ring of invisibility which should have a 50% change to trigger a primal magic event, followed by a concentration check DC=15+Double spell level, if i fail then it triggers a primal magic event now just triggers a primal magic event 50% of the time.
37:22 <Avatar> does that mean the armor bonus doesn't apply either
37:23 <steven> just ha ha get fucked... your 20k magic item is useless... and your 54k in scrolls also have a 50% chance not to work and instead trigger a primal magic event...
37:38 <steven> my build is literally worthless right now.
41:11 <Mekkis> I would say so
41:15 <Mekkis> but. Mage armour
42:37 <Mekkis> steven, you know how to handle that, right?
43:05 <Mekkis> just keep activating the ring each round
43:57 <steven> nah... last time i failed the check because i NEEDED to cast a heal spell.
44:23 <Mekkis> just keep activating the ring each round
44:24 <steven> on a roll of a 1... GM star reroll with +5 bonus... roll a 1.
44:36 <steven> summoned 2 CR14 creatures.
44:47 <steven> which immediately attacked us.
45:03 <Mekkis> is this PFS?!
45:16 <steven> yuuuuuuup
45:35 <Mekkis> with primal magic? 
45:42 <steven> this module makes use of the Primal Magic rules out of Inner sea Magic.
45:46 <Mekkis> ah
45:59 <Mekkis> and the GM is doing it wrong?
46:17 <steven> yeah, didnt know it at the time because i printed out my chronicle sheet.
46:25 <steven> so wasnt usin my laptop.
46:37 <steven> obviously i mean character
47:18 <Avatar> okay mistmail is suddenly looking much more attractive
48:11 <steven> so yeah... gonna have to rehash this because its not fun to have every spell with the possibility to do stupid shit.
48:24 <steven> like in a mana storm... yeah sure.  every spell should have that chance.
48:51 <steven> but if we're roaming around in the mana wastes every spell we cast shouldnt have the possibility of blowing up in our face ya kmnow.
51:03 <steven> like oh hey you cast cure light wounds from a wand... 50% chance to trigger... fail... nat 20 on CR determinination... a 40 on the d100 to determine effect... excellent 20 creatures in the area get hit with the Harm spell.
53:32 <Mekkis> why are you rolling the d20 for CR? That's only for naturally occuring ones
53:58 <steven> thats what we were told.
54:50 <steven> I of course went and reread the rules because if this is how the game is going to be played i wouldnt have brought my Cloistered Cleric/Pathfinder Savant... who is basically a wand/scroll master.
54:58 <Mekkis> When the effect occurs, you need to determine the CR
54:58 <Mekkis> of the event. If the event is triggered by a spellcaster or
54:58 <Mekkis> a magic item, the event’s CR is equal to the spellcaster’s
54:58 <Mekkis> or item’s caster level. When an event occurs naturally,
54:58 <Mekkis> you can roll 1d20 to determine the CR.
56:43 <steven> yeah, im messaging him right now, because im not gonna play this with this character, I'd bring a Martial
03:02 <Mekkis> Some GMs say that the mist isn't enough to hide in. They're wrong, but there's nothing you can do about it.
04:13 <Mekkis> !capacity 14
04:14 <diebot> Mekkis, 58 if medium, 43.5 if small.
05:16 <Avatar> what do you reckon on threefold aspect
07:36 <Mekkis> someone has to bring a spellcaster to the mana wastes
08:25 <steven> yeah... but not a spellcaster whos primary mechanic is using spell completion and spell trigger items.
08:42 <Mekkis> crap
08:52 <steven> because 50% of the time the effect is replaced by a primal magic event.
09:41 <Mekkis> Enhancement bonus means that it doesn't stack with that headband I know you have
11:39 <steven> and so far every primal magic has been negative.
11:49 <Avatar> I'm looking at the con bonus
13:48 <Mekkis> but the CL is so low, right?
15:22 <Mekkis> get a belt?
15:35 <steven> i activate my scrolls at my CL
16:31 <Avatar> oh yeah I do
16:36 <Avatar> so that screws me
18:58 <Mekkis> what is Snickers' con?
19:22 <Mekkis> Deceased sucked it in, got a +4 belt, and toughness
20:04 <Mekkis> with eight levels in a prestige class, you lose out on the favoured class bonus
22:11 <steven> it is a really debilitating mechanic for someone who spent the bulk of their character wealth on spell completion items.
22:27 <Avatar> this mistmail puts me on a medium load permanently I think
22:55 <Avatar> oh wait, weight doesn't count in fog form??
23:02 <Brunius> Avatar so, TPG and iiNet
24:14 <Mekkis> why aren't you getting a concentration check?
24:28 <Whitey> heard about that - how horrible
25:12 <steven> in an adventure path there is a spot that has a mechanic that is a dc 17 will save, if you fail you become paranoid and cannot benefit from aid another, healing, anything like that.
25:51 <steven> we had a player thats entire gimick was bodyguarding, in harms way, aid another on attacks.
26:01 <steven> basically made everyone just be better.
26:11 <Avatar> water is still my bane, I like it
26:35 <steven> walks into the place... fails will save... character build completely shut down for an entire book of the adventure path.
27:15 <steven> i dunno why mekkis, i think its just a mistake or an oversight.
27:36 <steven> warden of the reborn forge has 12 source books.
27:47 <steven> thats just fuckin insane imo.
29:00 <Mekkis> agreed
35:28 <Avatar> ?
37:22 <Avatar> what the crap is going on
45:06 <Avatar> distance, that's a clever enchantment for a musket
49:30 <Avatar> might go tree climbing this afternoon
18:10 <Avatar> just play online lol.
18:18 <Avatar> brunius are you busy
10:52 <Avatar> mistmail seems kind of amazing for any character
