01:00:34 <Mekkis> Avatar, does Buck plan on taking on an apprentice?
01:27:11 <Mekkis> Trying to decide who Deceased would take
01:27:29 <Mekkis> I think he'd probably raise a cleric
01:36:51 <ulzef> isnt Deceased a wizard though
01:44:02 <Mekkis> yeah, he is
01:44:39 <Mekkis> but, ulzef, would he consider raising another?
03:31:02 <Avatar> why would Buck take an apprentice
03:35:53 <steven> teach him the ways of gunslinging
03:37:06 <Avatar> my gunslinger doesn't try to teach anyone anything about gunslinging ever
03:37:16 <Avatar> if they want to learn, they can learn on their own
04:16:10 <Mekkis> Avatar, if, hypothetically speaking, there was a stat increase in it for his apprentice, what sort of character would Buck take as an apprentice?
04:20:28 <Mekkis> evidently, not gunslinging
04:30:45 <ulzef> mekkis what should i do while the smite servers are down?
04:37:16 <Mekkis> the smite servers?
04:37:29 <Mekkis> pull out an adamantine weapond?
04:42:43 <Mekkis> ulzef, Also, it seems that the Spirit of Freedom doesn't have a preacher
04:43:07 <Mekkis> And it would be someone like Deceased to have Ideas on what sort of preacher it would be :P
04:51:45 <Mekkis> How long was that split for?
05:08:33 <Steven1> as long as it needeed to be!
05:09:07 <Steven1> also... Sword of the Open road on a ranger with favored enemy human vs an aspis agent.
05:09:42 <Steven1> level 5 w/ lead blades +14 to hit nonlethaly 2d6+17+2d6bane
05:09:51 <Steven1> just fuckin stupid awesome.
05:10:36 <Steven1> i crit with one hit and killed somebody outright with nonlethal damage... my character actually felt bad
05:13:00 <Mekkis> Wow. Conversion channel is PFS legal
05:13:51 <Mekkis> Steven1, what are the rules for wearing a phylactary in order to meet channeling prereqs?
05:28:55 <steven> mekkis... common sense.
05:29:36 <Avatar> lol
05:31:27 <Mekkis> steven, so in general, if an item grants an ability, it is sufficient to qualify for a feat?
05:31:48 <steven> if it grants an ability yes.
05:32:08 <steven> phylactary does not grant the ability, just gives additional dice.
05:34:02 <Mekkis> so you CAN take a feat that requires 5d6 channelling with 5 levels of cleric and a phylactary?
05:34:40 <steven> last i checked. yes
05:36:05 <Mekkis> Are there any other ways of increasing chanelling damage?
05:36:55 <steven> aasimar
05:37:01 <Mekkis> oh?
05:37:08 <steven> life oracle
05:37:27 <Mekkis> ah
05:37:35 <Mekkis> the favoured class bonux thing
05:37:48 <steven> sun domain
05:37:52 <steven> um....
05:38:12 <steven> there is proly one more i cant remember it though
05:40:58 <steven> i need to build an apprentice for my necromancer.
05:42:08 <steven> my necromancer was the apprentice for my life oracle... he was researching the secrets of life... tricked poor trusting honey.
05:42:43 <Mekkis> Well, I suppose I can live with getting it at level 9
05:43:03 <Mekkis> Do you lose access to the feat if you remove the phylactary?
05:44:09 <steven> you can no longer make use of it until you again meet the prerequisites
05:44:26 <Mekkis> hmmm
05:44:33 <steven> like if you take str damage and go below 13str
05:44:42 <steven> you cant make use of power attack until your str goes back up
05:44:47 <Mekkis> that's a bad example, steven
05:44:48 <Mekkis> :P
05:44:56 <Mekkis> str damage doesn't affect str
05:45:48 <steven> pretty sure it does.
05:46:32 <Mekkis> nope. Taking ability damage leaves the actual ability score unchanged
05:46:43 <Mekkis> p556 of the core rulebook
05:46:52 <Mekkis> but I do get what you're saying
05:48:45 <Mekkis> just like carrying capacity is unchanged
05:50:01 <steven> back.
05:50:05 <steven> yeah, im thinking drain.
05:50:39 <Mekkis> yep
05:53:42 <steven> i have a level 6 blob to build
05:54:06 <Mekkis> rogue
05:54:25 <steven> not gonna build a rogue.
05:55:23 <steven> gotta build something ahtuz would apprentice.
05:55:25 <Mekkis> sunder-focused elvish fighter
05:55:46 <Mekkis> Continually complains about "shoddy human workmanship"
05:56:06 <steven> I already have that in the core campaign.
05:56:34 <Mekkis> Does the necromancer in Confirmation have a spellbook?
05:56:55 <steven> follows Alseta... wears a mask... bad mouths everyone thats not an elf or a dwarf.
05:57:28 <steven> calls them round ears
05:57:57 <Mekkis> Gnomish ninja who uses a gnome hooked hammer
05:58:30 <Mekkis> Brevoyan two-weapon fighting oratory bard.
05:58:39 <Mekkis> Wielding sickle and hammer.
05:59:41 <steven> int based cavalier that uses a bow?
06:00:21 <Mekkis> make a Red Mantis Assassin (the concept, not the class obviously)
06:00:24 <steven> shoots people with focused shot for int to damage
06:00:44 <Mekkis> TWF sawtooth saber fighter
06:00:45 <Mekkis> maybe not the fighter class, of course
06:00:54 <Mekkis> !feat focused shot
06:00:55 <diebot> Mekkis, FOCUSED SHOT [Combat]Prereq: Int 13, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot. Your anatomical insight adds deadliness to your shots.
06:00:56 <diebot> Benefit: As a standard action, you may make an attack with a bow or crossbow and add your Intelligence modifier on the damage roll. You must be within 30 feet of your target to deal this extra damage. Creatures immune to critical hits and sneak attacks are immune to this extra damage.
06:00:56 <diebot> Special: Starting at 2nd level, a ranger with the archery combat style may select Focused Shot as a combat style feat. Source: APG
06:02:03 <steven> whoever it is cant be lower int, ahtuz loathes everyone under 30int.
06:06:16 <steven> heh.... maybe a paladin.
06:06:38 <Mekkis> Pretty sure you can't start with more than 30 int
06:08:26 <steven> yeah, but i'll prolly spend the +2 bonus on int.
06:09:25 <Mekkis> so he loathes his fellow adventurers?
06:10:09 <steven> yes.
06:10:19 <steven> he treats them all like children
06:10:47 <Mekkis> fair enough
06:10:50 <steven> "Oh... Look, you learned how to speak."
06:11:00 <Mekkis> children who have saved his life?
06:11:16 <steven> he has never been unconscious.
06:11:21 <steven> ever
06:11:24 <Mekkis> oh
06:12:00 <steven> mostly he lets the dumb people walk up front and distract people while he eats cupcakes and brownies.
06:13:33 <steven> and then when someone attacks him, his contigency and spell storing armor go off and he gets 7d6 vampiric touch temp hp, and false life cast on him.
06:14:36 <steven> and things dont attack him again because it hurts too much... course usually i defensively cast persistent suffocation and they are dying at his feet.
06:14:45 <steven> after they attack him.
06:15:17 <Mekkis> it's almost like you, me and Avatar are playing three different games.
06:15:48 <steven> he doesnt usually do much in combat unless something makes him mad... then it dies.
06:17:33 <steven> once someone called him an idiot... that person at the end of the day was blinded, deafened, thrice cursed, and hobbled.
06:17:42 <steven> boneshattered his knees.
06:18:10 <Mekkis> seems rather antisocial. Considered not taking a protoge?
06:18:27 <steven> i've had the boon for 8 months now.
06:18:46 <Mekkis> ah
06:19:04 <Mekkis> when does the cookie wear off?
06:19:14 <steven> but he is a venture captain... so probably should impart some of his wisdom to the best of the idiots.
06:19:22 <steven> it wore off back in august.
06:19:52 <steven> his int is 36 currently.
06:20:30 <Mekkis> what's his wisdom :P
06:20:38 <steven> started 22+3 level+6headband+5book
06:20:41 <Mekkis> 7?
06:20:45 <steven> 18
06:21:09 <steven> headband of mental prowess
06:21:13 <Mekkis> started at 12?
06:21:17 <steven> int/wis+6
06:21:20 <steven> yup
06:21:21 <Mekkis> ah
06:21:44 <Mekkis> sharing his artificial wisdom
06:21:54 <steven> his next big purchase is going to be a belt of physical perfection +6
06:22:25 <Mekkis> deceased is going for the mirror of mental prowess
06:22:30 <steven> so then his stats will be 18/13/20/26/18/8
06:22:48 <Mekkis> so much faster at moving livestock
06:23:18 <steven> we're going to play reing of winter p5
06:23:29 <steven> in like another month and then my character will be going to lvl17
06:23:36 <steven> then we will do witchwar legacy
06:23:43 <steven> get to 18
06:23:54 <steven> last part of shattered star
06:23:57 <steven> level 19
06:24:04 <steven> and then play race for the runecarved key
06:24:11 <steven> and he will be my level 20
06:25:27 <steven> i havent played the character since i got the +6 wis added to the headband.
06:25:47 <steven> so he will probably be a bit less abusive towards the people that are not as smart as him.
06:26:52 <steven> suppose i could upgrade the headband as well...
06:27:00 <steven> get a cha of 14
06:28:05 <steven> ah ha! this character that is level 6
06:28:15 <steven> is my emerald spire guy
06:28:23 <steven> he owns a bunch of land.
06:32:07 <steven> obviously he should be the Seneschal for ahtuz.
06:32:22 <Mekkis> you playing any of these APs in PFS mode anyway?
06:33:16 <steven> no we arent playing reign of winter or shattered star.
06:33:32 <steven> our docket is pretty full for the next year or two when it comes to APs
06:34:32 <steven> we are currently in skull and shackles, then its going to be council of theives followed by hells rebels once it comes out.
06:34:49 <steven> and supposedly we are going to be doing mummy's mask sometime.
06:36:59 <steven> i think this character will be some sort of dispassionate doctor
06:37:07 <Mekkis> how many of your characters have Traveller's Anytools?
06:38:03 <steven> none of them.
06:38:31 <Mekkis> okay
06:40:26 <steven> alright... a Seneschal.
06:40:35 <steven> obviously has profession doctor.
06:40:53 <Mekkis> and a cart full of alchemical supplies?
06:41:17 <steven> might just have to be a long lived race so i can get breadth of experience.
06:41:22 <steven> make all profession checks.
06:41:29 <Mekkis> Gnome!
06:42:10 <steven> i could rock a gnome.
06:43:26 <steven> hmmm... im thinking a dwarf.
06:43:52 <steven> just so i can be like, "I'm not as smart as Ahtuz, but im prettier."
06:43:56 <Mekkis> Gnome is objectively better than dwarf
06:44:42 <steven> I've already got a couple gnomes.
06:44:46 <steven> i only have 1 dwarf
06:45:12 <Mekkis> Played Glories of the Past 3 on Sunday night. My cleric had three spells he hadn't cast
06:45:16 <Mekkis> by the end of it
06:46:51 <steven> i tend to have a lot of spells by the end of scenarios.
06:46:59 <steven> once i get past level 3 or so.
06:46:59 <Mekkis> so do I
06:47:04 <Mekkis> this was level 8
06:47:44 <steven> lets leave this shit up to fate!
06:47:51 <steven> !rng dwarf elf gnome
06:47:51 <diebot> steven, dwarf
06:47:57 <steven> looks like a dwarf mang.
06:49:08 <steven> dwarf seneschal
06:50:03 <steven> mebe an alchemist.
06:50:59 <Mekkis> Wow. Cold iron powder gives you +1 to dispel checks!

18:42:57 <steven> yup
18:43:02 <steven> its kind of my thing
18:44:45 <Avatar> do you mean you
18:44:56 <Avatar> as in you passed on what he said to you, to you
18:45:15 <steven> its a secret that cannot be known by lesser kin
18:45:26 <Avatar> ya I think I just decoded your secret
18:45:38 <steven> you think you did
18:45:40 <steven> but you didnt
18:50:31 <steven> suppose i should start a fire.
18:51:09 <steven> its like 4C outside.
18:59:21 <Mekkis> it's about 4°C outside here too
19:02:19 <steven> I'm prefectly fine, but im sure i'll hear abotu how cold it is.
19:05:26 <steven> maybe I'll just get it ready so they can light it when they get up and cry bout how chilly it i.
19:05:28 <steven> is
19:19:05 <Mekkis> set them on fire
19:27:39 <Avatar> what's with you wanting to set everything on fire
19:41:42 <Mekkis> fire solves all problems
19:59:06 <steven> it really does.
19:59:22 <Mekkis> :P
20:01:05 <Mekkis> Avatar, on your watermarked PDFs, is the watermark present on the inside of the cover?
20:02:35 <Mekkis> http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/marbig-clipfolder-a4-insert-pocket-black-ac445000bk?searchTerm=clipboard
20:12:34 <Avatar> to each his own I guess
20:13:41 <Avatar> I have yet another ifrit I need to trade away
20:17:37 <Mekkis> Let's get together and burn some Ifrits!
20:21:52 <Avatar> dunno, I don't pay that much attention to it
20:21:59 <Avatar> it doesn't appear on the chronicle sheet
20:22:08 <Avatar> what does that mean sorry
20:22:31 <Brunius_> Mekkis: On my bestiary it's on both the cover and inside cover
20:24:27 <Avatar> someone in melbourne had an undine caster that relied on water-based spells like hydraulic torrent
20:24:32 <Avatar> worked really effectively
20:26:59 <Mekkis> I mean, we should take the boons, and introduce fire
20:36:00 <Avatar> pass
20:37:52 <Avatar> I can't believe once upon a time I struggled to get a character to tier 7-11
20:38:00 <steven> heh
20:38:01 <Avatar> now I can't keep my characters out of 7-11
20:38:19 <steven> i feel ya mang... most of my characters are in the 7-11 range now.
20:38:39 <Avatar> how is that happening
20:38:55 <Avatar> always having to slink back into playing low tier
20:39:02 <Avatar> low subtier
20:40:18 <steven> 8/24 characters are level 5 or less in regular pfs
20:41:26 <steven> then have a 6 and three 2s for core.
20:44:41 <Avatar> lol core.
20:45:17 <steven> i love me somre core.
20:45:28 <steven> avatar! level 6 protegee character... go!
20:46:14 <steven> apprenticed to Ahtuz, high intelligence wizard.
20:46:36 <steven> necromancer, worshiper of lissala
20:47:03 <Mekkis> you're not fun :P
20:47:23 <Avatar> what?
20:48:15 <Avatar> if you have an extra trait boon you can have my ifrit boon and do whatever you like with it
20:48:32 <Mekkis> I already have three
20:48:40 <Avatar> why not make it four ?
20:48:47 <Avatar> or five
20:48:51 <Mekkis> fire is dangerous, man
20:49:01 <Avatar> it was your suggestion !
20:49:57 <steven> i have a level 6 character to build
20:50:03 <Mekkis> Hmm. Amazon is spending $$$ on game development
20:50:25 <steven> its my eyes of the 10 protege character
20:51:41 <s_gmusic> I have an ifrit, undine, extra traits, and few other boons. Don't think I'm ever going to use them. :/
20:51:50 <Avatar> that sounds extremely spoilery
20:52:03 <Avatar> want to swap your extra traits?
20:52:07 <Avatar> I'll use them
20:52:35 <steven> so many people know about it now its not a spoiler anymore.
20:53:00 <steven> telling people what they have to do to get it is still a spoiler.
20:53:05 <Avatar> it's not spoilery anymore now that you've told me
20:53:12 <Avatar> right while I'm in the middle of the damn thing
20:53:47 <steven> i thought you finished it like two weeks back... might have been mekkis
20:53:52 <steven> balls.
20:54:13 <Avatar> yeah mekkis was talking about something like that last night actually
20:55:01 <steven> anyways... level 6 character
20:55:09 <steven> I'm thinking multiclass.
20:55:50 <steven> no fewer then 3 classes.
20:56:05 <Avatar> skald/brawler/investigator
20:56:31 <steven> what no prestige class.
20:56:57 <Mekkis> What do you think about buying a wagon with arrow slits in the walls?
20:57:06 <Mekkis> then putting an archer in there
20:57:50 <Avatar> the archer can't see what he's shooting at
20:57:55 <steven> hmmmm.... mebe i should use my aasimar boon.
20:59:24 <Avatar> want an ifrit
20:59:26 <Avatar> or a sylph
20:59:34 <Avatar> I have one or two
20:59:37 <steven> i already have thsoe.
20:59:46 <steven> i mostly sit on my boons.
20:59:47 <Avatar> you can have more
20:59:53 <Avatar> cool pass me an extra trait
21:00:09 <steven> i'd have to mail it.
21:00:19 <Avatar> just scan it
21:00:30 <steven> i was told i cannot do that.
21:00:36 <Avatar> by who
21:01:15 <steven> campaign leadership
21:01:22 <Avatar> mike?
21:03:17 <steven> no
21:03:30 <Avatar> john?
21:03:56 <steven> theres conflicting quotes, and im not going to send one out until it gets settled.
21:04:09 <Avatar> I'll settle it, you can do it
21:04:44 <steven> lol
21:04:53 <steven> it used to be like that.
21:05:09 <steven> a lot of things used to be a just do it situation.
21:06:45 <Avatar> this one still is!
21:06:48 <steven> ugh i'll have to go through my pile of boons.
21:08:11 <Avatar> lemme know which one you want
21:09:55 <steven> 140 boons, no extra trait.
21:10:05 <Avatar> wow
21:11:18 <steven> every convention i print out 5 copies of the boons i get sent and then for every table i have them roll a d20 and on a 19-20 i hand them a boon.
21:14:29 <Avatar> our VC gives 1 person at every table a boon
21:14:41 <Avatar> does this random minigame thingamabob
21:15:28 <steven> everything i've been told bout 10% per slot of getting a boon.
21:16:25 <steven> but if somebody comes and plays ever slot, i usually slip em a boon anyways.
21:16:38 <Avatar> I think it still works out somehow
21:17:01 <steven> but yeah, i've got 140 boons
21:17:01 <Avatar> 10% per slot per person is about right
21:18:13 <steven> some of them are my personal boons, which are prolly around 40 or so.
21:20:34 <steven> i just dont use that many of the boons i get.
21:20:47 <Avatar> I don't think anyone does
21:20:58 <steven> only boon i've actually been enthused about was the GM star recharge.
21:21:14 <Avatar> I think I would trade that away
21:21:27 <Avatar> replaying scenarios doesn't do it for me
21:21:56 <steven> and then i found out i have one boon that if i am an elf and have an animal companion that is a bird i calculate its effective level as character level +1
21:22:20 <steven> which im applying to my core character since boon companion isnt available.
21:23:44 <steven> so at level 12 my eagle will be at effective druid level 4
21:24:05 <Mekkis> steven, do you have that boon that gives you a Dragon Empires Primer trait?
21:24:24 <steven> i dunno, i was only looking for extra traits.
21:26:31 <steven> avatar... having troubles making this skald/brawler/investigator
21:29:19 <Avatar> it wasn't a serious suggestion
21:29:25 <Avatar> I played an investigator in confirmation the other day
21:29:29 <Avatar> really didn't like it
21:29:47 <Avatar> I'm glad I didn't lock myself into it with my level 2 character
21:31:07 <steven> damn it man... i took it serious.
21:32:49 <steven> i think im gonna make my oread elemental body exploit character
21:39:26 <steven> level 11 he is just always an earth elemental
