00:03:12 <Mekkis> steven, I work in an office
00:06:59 LukeyG ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
00:16:15 <Avatar> mekkis are you about
00:19:02 LukeyG has quit (Quit: )
00:20:36 <Avatar> there's only 4 modules for post-12
00:20:59 <Avatar> Academy of Secrets (12-14), Tomb of the Iron Medusa (13-15), The Moonscar (15-17), The Witchwar Legacy (16-18)
00:39:43 <Avatar> I wear boots on fridays
00:41:09 <steven> i wear boots everyday!
02:03:51 <mr_wibble> How can someone who is almost 30 and never had a job get one? I have been applying(fast food, retail, entry level) just to be told I am not what they are looking for (We have reviewed your application for this position and will be proceeding with other candidates at this time.) or they are not hiring.
02:11:29 <Avatar> lol?
02:49:18 <Brunius> Philderbeast, you gonna fight at festival?
02:57:24 <Philderbeast> probably not
03:04:43 <Philderbeast> you?
03:27:39 <Brunius> nah, not going to festival after all
03:27:42 <Brunius> maybe next year
03:27:49 <Philderbeast> yea im only going for 1 day
03:47:43 <Philderbeast> so i need 6 more exp on my DD....
05:32:59 <Mekkis> Avatar, yes, and...?
05:33:23 <Avatar> and that's not enough !!
05:33:58 <Mekkis> you should ask Paizo to write more
05:35:06 <Avatar> paizo never listen to me
05:36:15 <Mekkis> obviously, your problem is that you insist on PFS
05:47:02 <Brunius> ^
05:47:21 <Mekkis> play pathfinder without the PFS bit, and it's so much better
05:47:37 <Mekkis> speaking of which, Brunius....
05:47:44 <Mekkis> Serpent's skull...!
05:47:48 <Brunius> oh yeah
05:53:57 <Avatar> that's not the problem
06:07:48 <Mekkis> oh?
06:07:50 <Avatar> it never occurred to me how dirt cheap most cracked ioun stones are
06:07:52 <Mekkis> how so?
06:09:49 <Avatar> dark blue rhomboid, +1 to sense motive and perception, 400gp
06:10:02 <Avatar> deep red sphere, +1 to any dex-based skill, 200gp
06:10:13 <Avatar> dusty rose, +1 to init, 500gp
06:10:14 <Avatar> etc
06:11:10 <Mekkis> the question was in regards to your previous statement
06:12:04 <Avatar> I don't care to go into that
06:19:35 <Mekkis> hehe
06:20:00 <Mekkis> (One whether GM's should coup-de-grace PCs) Just threaten to start sundering and they will beg you to CdG.
06:25:27 <Mekkis> s/e//
06:28:17 <Avatar> did you shift away from playing glories
06:28:49 <Avatar> looks like you're only signed up to part 3
06:28:56 <Mekkis> yes
06:29:09 <Mekkis> it turns out that I've actually played parts one and two.
06:29:15 <Avatar> good 1
06:34:29 <Mekkis> yeah. I feel a bit bummed about it
06:34:38 <Mekkis> is ulzef not coming on the Sunday?
06:41:19 <Avatar> I think hall of the flesh eaters needs to be dropped
06:41:31 <Avatar> I don't know if newer players don't normally sign up to 1-5s?
06:49:42 <Mekkis> I think 7-11 stuff should be scheduled :S
06:51:07 <Avatar> I'll be surprised if I don't end up running fate of the fiend
06:51:33 <Avatar> matt wants to schedule eyes of the ten on monday, but I have no idea how that can possibly happen
06:51:46 <Mekkis> ah
06:51:51 <Avatar> stephen hasn't played part 3 and 4 either, so we're trying to get him in
06:51:55 <Mekkis> part 3 can be done in a session
06:52:10 <Avatar> yeah but how will stephen possibly agree to play it on a con day
06:52:26 <Avatar> especially a con day with nothing running so far
06:52:40 <Mekkis> I've already played fate :S
06:53:04 <Avatar> yeah nobody else in melb has
06:53:15 <Mekkis> you have, now, right>
06:53:22 <Avatar> yeah, through an online game
06:53:31 <Avatar> and here's the kicker, that was to prep to run it at this con
06:59:00 <Avatar> steven
06:59:17 <steven> sup
07:00:22 <Avatar> my character went from 10.1 to 12 today
07:00:28 <Avatar> that was pretty disastrous
07:01:02 <steven> did you have fun?
07:01:46 <Avatar> you don't understand
07:01:54 <Avatar> I thought I was on 10.1, but it turned out I was on 11.2
07:02:50 <steven> thats why i use a spreadsheet.
07:02:59 <Avatar> what spreadsheet
07:03:02 <Avatar> you never mentioned a spreadsheet
07:03:06 <Avatar> show us your spreadsheet
07:03:14 <steven> after every game i just type in the game, how much gold i got, and other stuff...
07:03:19 <steven> it adds it all up
07:03:38 <steven> and then all i gotta do is hit the save button
07:03:58 <steven> It is a spreadsheet... you can make one as well.
07:04:04 <Avatar> show us your format
07:04:22 <Avatar> the only thing I didn't include in my list of scenarios on my sheet was exp
07:04:38 <Avatar> I didn't account for 2 modules being worth 6
07:05:31 <steven> get on it mang
07:06:18 <Avatar> show us your paso doblè
07:06:41 <steven> no ways! its all mine!
07:07:40 * steven steeples his fingers evily!
07:20:34 <Avatar> we want to see this paso doblè
07:20:41 <Avatar> SHOW us your paso doblè
07:24:06 <Mekkis> heh. Congrats Avatar

07:27:21 <***> Buffer Playback...
07:27:21 <***> Playback Complete.
07:31:24 <Avatar> for what
07:47:50 <Avatar> [22:45] <Quenton> what editiono d&d do you play
07:47:51 <Avatar> [22:45] <Rasmenar_> 5th currently. Thoroughly enjoying it thus far.
07:47:51 <Avatar> [22:45] <Rasmenar_> I'm DM'ing a Norse-inspired campaign.
07:47:51 <Avatar> [22:45] <Quenton> better than pathfinder?
07:47:51 <Avatar> [22:46] <Rasmenar_> Honestly? Pathfinder has more support material, but I actually like the core system of 5th better.
07:47:51 <Avatar> [22:46] <Quenton> now I know you're lying
07:47:51 <Avatar> [22:46] <Quenton> that was a test
07:56:31 <Mekkis> Getting another character to 12
07:56:33 <Mekkis> Who is it?
07:57:00 <Avatar> Snickers
07:57:12 <Avatar> that's not worthy of congratulations, I wanted to get her to 11
07:57:16 <Avatar> so I could use split hex
07:57:25 <Avatar> now I am screwed until I find a module and people to play it with
07:59:50 <Mekkis> If you do end up playing Wardens of the Reborn Forge, keep me in the loop please !
08:01:15 <Avatar> rgr
08:01:55 <Mekkis> Oh, FYI
08:02:11 <Mekkis> My flight's booked. Will land at Tullamarine at 0750.
08:02:26 <Mekkis> Any particular clothing I should wear?
08:03:12 <Avatar> usual autumn/winter wear
08:03:24 <Avatar> just a shirt and jeans is fine for trees
08:03:42 <Avatar> shorts are fine as well if you're insistent
08:03:57 <Mekkis> shoes?
08:04:17 <Avatar> yeah bring shoes
08:04:30 <Mekkis> what sort? Runners okay? or boots?
08:04:36 <Avatar> I lost sunglasses that were hanging from my shirt
08:04:39 <Avatar> runners are fine
08:04:46 <Avatar> just not something that will slip off your feet while you're on a flying fox
08:04:53 <Avatar> you can't get anything you drop
08:04:54 <Mekkis> ah okay
08:05:18 <Avatar> I wouldn't recommend sandals, but even those are probably okay
08:05:42 <Mekkis> probably not the shoes I wear to work, is what you're saying.
08:07:46 <steven> suuuuuuuup
08:07:51 <steven> im back
08:11:21 <Mekkis> because they have hardly any grip.
08:18:46 <Avatar> it's more to protect your foot rather than grip on a surface
08:18:59 <Avatar> although if it's raining, I would prefer wearing shoes with at least a little grip
08:21:07 <steven> I always just wear work boots.
08:22:41 <steven> http://www.constructiongear.com/media/catalog/product/cache/3/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/c/s/csgboot1000003851_-00_light-brown_rugged-blue-steel-toe-waterproof-mens-work-boots-angle.jpg
08:23:42 <Avatar> those boots are bad ass
08:23:57 <Avatar> I'd prefer a dark boot
08:26:15 <steven> you can usually get them in a darker finished leather
08:28:36 <steven> i just like them because they last as long as the finished leather, but cost about 30 bucks
08:37:55 <steven> i should buy a new pair of boots.
08:38:15 <steven> i think there is a redwings dealer over in moscow... spendy shoes but totally worth it.
09:04:13 <Mekkis> steven, I work in an office
09:40:43 <Avatar> I wear boots on fridays
09:42:09 <steven> i wear boots everyday!
10:30:14 <steven> there we go, now its uploading all my spreadsheets for my characters onto my drive

19:11:17 <Philderbeast> evening*
19:17:31 <Avatar> ya
19:17:44 <steven> evening
19:18:16 <Avatar> I need to narrow down a list of GMs who don't allow scrolls in spring loaded wrist sheathes
19:18:26 <Avatar> it's too dangerous
19:18:32 <steven> yup
19:18:48 <steven> gloves of storing.
19:18:56 <Avatar> 10k mate
19:19:07 <steven> 10k no table variation
19:19:09 <Avatar> per character
19:19:16 <Avatar> a list will get rid of the table variation
19:25:10 <Philderbeast> there are so many other ways to acheive the same result..... without the table variation just pick one of them
19:27:43 <Philderbeast> http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2s2x5?PFS-Items-that-can-save-you-in-2015#17
19:30:36 <Philderbeast> 5 options under 5k
19:43:05 <steven> not as good as a slws
19:43:30 <Philderbeast> but effective and no table variation
19:43:33 <Avatar> you shouldn't have to when the rule supports it
19:46:21 <Philderbeast> except that a lot of GMs would disagree that the rule supports it
19:48:56 <Philderbeast> with other options i would never rely on the GM giving me the best case ruling for something like that
19:55:52 <Mekkis> Avatar, no, you need to realise that scrolls in spring-loaded wrist sheaths is stupid
19:56:39 <Mekkis> But put me down as "Does not allow it, but does allow drawing a scroll as part of a move."
20:04:38 <Avatar> it's a hotly contested rule
20:05:07 <Avatar> is putting arrows in wrist sheathes stupid
20:05:09 <Philderbeast> not really your the only one i know that thinks it should be allowed
20:05:17 <Avatar> really
20:05:18 <Avatar> the only one
20:05:38 <Philderbeast> that I know, doesnt mean others dont think it should work
20:06:06 <Avatar> http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2plml?spring-loaded-wrist-sheaths-and-amount-of
20:06:37 <Philderbeast> oh i know there are loud keyboard warriors
20:06:40 <Philderbeast> on the forums,
20:06:45 <Philderbeast> hence i said that i know
20:06:48 <Philderbeast> not that i have heard
20:06:54 <Avatar> those keyboard warriors are players and GMs
20:07:41 <Avatar> making a decision to say a breath of life scroll can't go in a wrist sheathe is usually making it harder for characters to survive based on a rule that splits the community about 50/50
20:08:06 <Avatar> some people don't mind hard mode, some do
20:08:24 <Philderbeast> when there are plenty of other ways thast are more then affordable by the time breath of life is important
20:08:47 <Philderbeast> its not stopping you from doing something, its just stopping something very munchkin
20:08:58 <Avatar> when do you think breath of life isn't important
20:08:59 <Mekkis> as I said, I allow drawing a scroll as part of a move.
20:09:11 <Philderbeast> when you cant afford it?
20:09:19 <Avatar> before level 2
20:09:33 <Philderbeast> or realisticly expect to be able to cast it
20:09:50 <Avatar> do you think arrows in a wrist sheathe are munchkin as well
20:09:51 <Philderbeast> remember you still need to be able to make the caster level check to cast it
20:10:05 <Philderbeast> its specificly allowed in the text of the item./...
20:10:12 <Philderbeast> stupid as a quiver is better but allowed
20:11:04 <Mekkis> no, I think it's stupid
20:11:21 <Avatar> that's what the item does though
20:11:27 <Avatar> it doesn't matter if you think it's stupid
20:12:51 <Mekkis> yes it does
20:12:56 <Avatar> when you get to the point to argue semantics on how a scroll is harder to unravel vs springing out 5 arrows, it's clear that you're not thinking in terms of the players having fun
20:13:56 <Philderbeast> but that's not why most GM's don't allow it and definatly not why i dont allow it
20:14:13 <Avatar> that's exactly why most don't allow it
20:14:18 <Avatar> what's your reason
20:14:20 <Mekkis> ummm no
20:16:01 <Mekkis> so sure, the rules say something stupid (you can store 5 arrows on your wrist), and you are saying that because of this stupid statement, you should be able to store 5' of rolled up parchment there too
20:16:16 <Philderbeast> because the description of a scroll is not consistent with the items listed that are acceptable to the sheath
20:16:30 <Philderbeast> i.e. its not a solid item
20:16:42 <Avatar> a forearm-length item
20:16:59 <Philderbeast> A scroll is a heavy sheet of fine vellum or high-quality paper. An area about 8-1/2 inches wide and 11 inches long is sufficient to hold one spell
20:17:35 <Avatar> how long is a forearm
20:17:42 <Mekkis> aka wider than an A4 sheet of paper
20:17:46 <Avatar> we're talking semantics again
20:17:58 <Philderbeast> <Philderbeast>: i.e. its not a solid item
20:18:06 <Avatar> of course it's solid
20:18:23 <Avatar> is it liquid
20:18:39 <Philderbeast> solid as in streghth
20:19:37 <Avatar> it doesnt' talk about durability at all?
20:20:00 <Philderbeast> everything descriobed as being able to go in the wrist sheath is wooden/metal
20:20:18 <Philderbeast> not paper
20:20:19 <Avatar> you can't tell me you're not trying to argue semantics with that
20:20:30 <steven> i have pie.
20:20:47 <Avatar> how far of a stretch is it for you to just say "well, it might fit"
20:20:58 <Philderbeast> I also make sure to let my players know that is my ruling prior to games if i know it will come up so its not a supprise
20:21:04 <Avatar> let's pretend it cost more
20:21:08 <Avatar> would that make it acceptable
20:21:28 <Mekkis> regardless, if you really just want to move and cast Breath of Life from a scroll, my ruling allows this, without wearing a stupid item.
20:21:50 <Avatar> if it's a stupid item, that's an subjective opinion
20:22:23 <Philderbeast> there are lots of ways to make it acceptable, and there are many ways to get arround needing the spring loaded wrist sheath
20:22:39 <Philderbeast> there are also ways to be able to draw it for free without relying on anything but the CRB
20:22:45 <Avatar> I've only ever found out from a GM whether they accept scrolls and potions at the very beginning of a game when it's difficult to walk
20:23:06 <Mekkis> Avatar, be honest here, what is your use-case?
20:23:16 <Philderbeast> thats why you should have a plan B for when they wont let you use it
20:23:25 <Avatar> a scroll in a wrist sheath is my use case
20:23:34 <Philderbeast> and why my cleric avoided the issue entierly and got a greater casters sheild
20:23:34 <Mekkis> and when would you use the scroll?
20:23:35 <Avatar> you shouldn't need a plan B
20:23:51 <Avatar> get to the point mekkis, I don't like pointless questions
20:24:24 <Mekkis> okay. If you're just trying to deliver Breath of Life when it's needed, then drawing a scroll while moving is sufficient.
20:24:35 <Avatar> the problem is the item exists and there are GMs who just decide not to like it and restrict its use, rather than allowing its use to help a player survive
20:25:11 <Avatar> regardless of any semantics it carries, that attitude is the real problem
20:25:15 <Philderbeast> I have no problems with the item, however I have an issue with trying to stretch the rules to make it do the job of a far more valuable item
20:25:15 <Mekkis> If you've come up with some obscure, corner-case where getting a scroll (or especially potion) as a swift action allows you to break the game, it's bad.
20:25:46 <Avatar> it's not an obscure corner-case
20:25:50 <Avatar> it's half the community
20:25:59 <Avatar> if it was an obscure corner case, you'd probably be right
20:26:00 <Philderbeast> particularly in the unlreaistic case of a potion/scroll
20:26:08 <steven> didnt we have ths conversation like last month?
20:26:15 <Brunius_> steven: probably
20:26:16 <Avatar> the potion is the same story
20:26:19 <Philderbeast> I understand why people want it to work like that
20:26:48 <Mekkis> Avatar, what obscure corner case
20:26:55 <Avatar> it's almost like saying you might drop a potion when you retrieve it from your backpack because it's not a haversack and therefore isn't at the top of your bag
20:27:04 <Philderbeast> but when there are specific items to let you do that and they have a far higher cost..... even taking out scemantics it becomes game breaking balance wise
20:27:27 <Avatar> the gloves of storing allow you to retrieve as a free action, and it's any item
20:27:36 <Philderbeast> and cost 10k
20:27:39 <Avatar> right
20:27:46 <Avatar> it's a big price difference, but that's what the rulebook has
20:27:55 <Avatar> just because you don't like it doesn't mean you should punish players on table variance
20:28:12 <Avatar> if you really want players to enjoy themselves, just let them do it
20:28:40 <Avatar> you're always free to not use the item like that yourself on your own character
20:28:40 <Philderbeast> so you want a 5gp item to do the job of a 10kgp item
20:28:49 <Avatar> it's not the same function
20:29:54 <Mekkis> so: What scroll do you put in it, Avatar?
20:31:06 <steven> a scroll of heroes feast... why? because there is pie in a heroes feast
20:33:08 <Philderbeast> and discussions like this are why i avoid table variation items....
20:33:13 <Philderbeast> and builds for the most part
20:36:30 <steven> seriouly though... we have this spring loaded wrist discussion every month or so
20:37:39 <steven> i think they should come out with another really vaguely worded item thats super useful so we can discuss that one for a while...
20:37:56 <Philderbeast> lol
20:38:03 <steven> oh i know how about a spring loaded ankle sheathe
20:38:24 <steven> yeah!
20:38:52 <Philderbeast> well rather then flooging that dead horse how about another take on it, we can all probably agree that its part of a GM's job to make sure the players have fun,
20:39:07 <Philderbeast> whats your thoughts on as a player working to make sure the GM also has fun with the session?
20:45:22 <Mekkis> Avatar, the GM is a player too
20:45:24 <Whitey> yeah, but I don't have time to play :P
20:45:35 <Whitey> it'd be something nice to watch at work whilst I'm working
20:46:32 <Mekkis> and I still don't see why you'd object to drawing a scroll as part of a move in lieu of putting the scroll in a wrist sheath
20:46:37 <Whitey> is it modules or an ongoing campaign?
20:46:46 <Avatar> it's a PFS scenario
20:47:17 <Whitey> but not ongoing weekly characters? is it fresh every week?
20:49:04 <Avatar> er
20:49:15 <Avatar> different scenario each time you play
20:49:22 <Avatar> you can play with different players, or different characters
20:49:38 <Avatar> each character has their own credit based on what they play or how much they play
20:49:51 <Whitey> yeah, I've played a little PFS
20:49:58 <Whitey> don't have the time to go to the games anymore on sunday mornings :(

20:52:07 <Avatar> it's not always sunday
20:52:12 <Avatar> any GM can run it at any time
20:52:28 <Avatar> it's not "weekly"
20:52:33 <Whitey> lol, I work 50 hour weeks and have a kid at home, and run my own game every 2 weeks :P
20:52:37 <Whitey> I struggle with things in my spare time!
21:03:40 <Avatar> it's about the attitude of a GM towards the players rather than the semantics
21:06:00 <Avatar> abandon your game
21:06:39 <Whitey> lol
21:06:49 <Whitey> I don't think my players would be happy about that!
21:18:06 <Mekkis> not the attitude of a player towards the GM. It seems pretty childish really: "That GM doesn't agree with me on this controversial corner case! Waaa!"
21:19:27 <Avatar> it's not a contraversial corner case
21:20:17 <Avatar> they can play too
21:20:49 <Mekkis> pretty sure it is: the continued forum discussions seem to indicate that
21:21:12 <Avatar> the forums suggest that it's contraversial
21:21:15 <Avatar> not that it's a corner case
21:21:46 <Avatar> if a clear majority we're saying no scrolls can't go in them, then it's fair for a GM to rule that way
21:22:13 <Mekkis> if it's about 50%, then it's a good idea not to rely on it.
21:22:23 <Avatar> due to table variance
21:22:33 <Avatar> not because the intent seems to sway one way or another
21:22:43 <Avatar> and the best way to GM is to err on the side of the players
21:22:47 <Mekkis> also, look at the posters who are arguing each way
21:22:59 <Avatar> so if you're a GM who's erring on not allowing something that's split like that
21:23:02 <Mekkis> the more experienced GMs all tend to go towards the "no way"
21:23:06 <Avatar> I have problems with that
21:23:22 <Avatar> have you tallied it up
21:23:26 <Avatar> by name
21:23:29 <Mekkis> no
21:23:32 <Mekkis> have you?
21:23:41 <Avatar> no but I'm not the one claiming the more experienced GMs say this
21:23:54 <Avatar> I know half of them say no and half of them say yes
21:24:23 <Avatar> it's not 10-20% of people saying no like you're suggesting
21:24:30 <Avatar> that would be a corner case
21:27:06 <Mekkis> it's a clear grey area
21:27:24 <Mekkis> Mark Seifter is quoted as saying it is!
21:27:33 <Mekkis> http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2rqyc?Springloaded-wrist-sheaths-and-table-variation#25
21:28:25 <Avatar> suggesting a GM can rule harshly or leniently
21:28:32 <Avatar> which do you think makes for a better ruling for a player
21:29:37 <Mekkis> I think that disallowing scrolls in spring-loaded sheaths, but allowing drawing scrolls as part of a move is the best compromise
21:30:26 <Avatar> you shouldn't be making a compromise rule like that when there's already a written rule
21:30:31 <Avatar> you either allow it or you don't
21:31:36 <Mekkis> if you're making the argument that seems to always come up ("I want to put a scroll of Breath of Life in there to save a fallen ally"), then it puts the player in a BETTER position than before.
21:31:53 <Avatar> you don't know that
21:31:59 <Avatar> your move action can provoke
21:32:12 <Avatar> to begin with
21:32:16 <Avatar> I don't know what else it might affect
21:32:28 <Avatar> why would you want to put them in a better position than what's written
21:33:19 <Avatar> rods are a better example of a corner case, because almost nobody allows that
21:33:25 <Mekkis> drawing a non-weapon from a wrist sheath would provoke. It's clear: it provokes 'as normal'
21:33:39 <Avatar> I'm talking spring loaded, obviously
21:33:51 <steven> jeeze you guys sstill goin on bout this?
21:34:00 <Mekkis> a spring-loaded wrist sheath also provokes as normal
21:34:38 <Avatar> no it doesn't
21:35:01 <Avatar> it works like a standard wrist sheath in that it releases an item
21:35:33 <Avatar> to say maybe it provokes as well is another level of clarity everyone needs and doesn't have, and to rule that it provokes is to err against the player
21:36:27 <Avatar> every time you have to make a call, you should be asking yourself if you're erring in favour of the players or not
21:36:42 <Avatar> assuming the bad guys get the same advantage or disadvantage
21:36:46 <Mekkis> I also ask myself who the players are.
21:36:50 <Avatar> unless you're playing for players who like hard mode
21:38:47 <Mekkis> Casting a Quickened Scorching Ray does not provoke, but the ranged touch attacks of the rays of fire do.
21:44:03 <Whitey> lol
21:44:09 <Whitey> yeah, I don't think they'd like that :P
21:51:38 andrey has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
21:58:42 <Mekkis> If you've looked into real-life spring loaded sheaths, even with today's technology, they:
21:58:42 <Mekkis> - only work for the specific knife they're designed for (which won't have a blade longer than 100mm, generally). Good luck putting anything else in it and expecting it to function.
21:58:42 <Mekkis> - are really dangerous. You have a blade with a bunch of springs behind it, held by a small catch. One bump and you risk cutting yourself and dropping the knife.
21:58:42 <Mekkis> - as a consequence, you need to be very careful around them, restricting your movements.
21:58:42 <Mekkis> If anyone can show me anything to the contrary, please show me a link.
22:01:45 <Avatar> was that a 3 hour game?
22:01:49 <Philderbeast> see i wasent trying to kill snickers
22:01:55 <Avatar> easy money
22:01:56 <Philderbeast> yea about that
22:03:29 <Philderbeast> and reported on paizo
22:04:11 <Avatar> er, I think I might have levelled up
22:04:39 <Philderbeast> ncie
22:05:53 <Avatar> er
22:06:08 <Avatar> I'm counting 34 exp
22:06:18 <Avatar> isn't that like 11.1
22:06:23 <Avatar> or 12.1
22:06:27 <Philderbeast> 12.1
22:06:41 <Avatar> can you check the scenario list at the bottom of my sheet
22:06:48 <Avatar> there's 2 modules in there that grant 3 xp
22:08:19 <Philderbeast> that list is all over the place
22:08:46 <Avatar> what do you mean
22:09:03 <Philderbeast> you need to order that by when ou played them
22:09:08 <Avatar> they are
22:09:18 <Avatar> the dates are on the left
22:09:24 <Philderbeast> it cant be.....
22:09:38 <Philderbeast> or you where out of teir for several of them
22:09:50 <Philderbeast> ruby pheonix as your 5th game?
22:09:54 <Avatar> ruby phoenix tournament was played early when you can roll up a pregenned character
22:09:59 <Avatar> that should be the only one that looks out of place
22:10:04 <Philderbeast> and crypt of the everflame with at least 5 making you level 3
22:10:09 <Philderbeast> 6*
22:10:13 <Philderbeast> for a 1-2 module
22:10:58 <Philderbeast> you cant use a pregen for ruby pheonix... or at least you cant anymore
22:11:08 <Avatar> yeah we played it just before the rule changed
22:12:44 <Philderbeast> 12.1 after today
22:12:56 <Philderbeast> unless you missed exp somewhere
22:13:30 <Avatar> date is wrong for CotE, it's from 2011
22:13:31 <Philderbeast> (2013-10-05) 5-06: The Elven Entanglement (0gp) +?? [0P] im guessing that was 0xp
22:13:41 <Avatar> oh yeah, that's 0 exp
22:13:51 <Philderbeast> so your exactly level 12 now...
22:13:58 <Philderbeast> unless there is more lost xp with deaths
22:14:12 <Avatar> okay well that's still better than 12.1
22:14:14 <Avatar> I'll check up on the rest
22:14:40 <Philderbeast> TBH unless you can fix the records for that char you should probably retire it anyway
22:15:06 <Avatar> yeah the reporting will fix it
22:15:23 <Avatar> not sure why the exp counter wasn't right
22:15:50 <Philderbeast> are your chronicals correct at least?
22:17:06 <Avatar> I usually keep the chronicle info in a list like this
22:17:22 <Avatar> they wouldn't have been any better
22:19:49 <Avatar> can't believe I blew through level 11 without getting to try split hex
23:11:28 <ulzef> in your exsample mekkis the shift does not prevoke however it does because the normal action does drawing a weapon normaly does not provoke therefore the wrist sheath would not
23:12:09 <ulzef> also can you give me a link of someone rubbing a small amount of sulfur and bat poop and making a fireball
23:20:58 <Philderbeast> hmmm i need to level up my cleric it seems...
23:21:08 <Philderbeast> whats a good level 3 spell to add to her list?
