56:02 <Avatar> you passed on o/ to the localish VL?
44:12 <steven> yup
44:18 <steven> its kind of my thing
46:01 <Avatar> do you mean you
46:12 <Avatar> as in you passed on what he said to you, to you
46:30 <steven> its a secret that cannot be known by lesser kin
46:41 <Avatar> ya I think I just decoded your secret
46:54 <steven> you think you did
46:55 <steven> but you didnt
51:47 <steven> suppose i should start a fire.
52:24 <steven> its like 4C outside.
00:37 <Mekkis> it's about 4°C outside here too
03:35 <steven> I'm prefectly fine, but im sure i'll hear abotu how cold it is.
06:42 <steven> maybe I'll just get it ready so they can light it when they get up and cry bout how chilly it i.
06:44 <steven> is
20:21 <Mekkis> set them on fire
28:55 <Avatar> what's with you wanting to set everything on fire
42:58 <Mekkis> fire solves all problems
00:22 <steven> it really does.
00:37 <Mekkis> :P
02:21 <Mekkis> Avatar, on your watermarked PDFs, is the watermark present on the inside of the cover?
10:47 <Mekkis> fair enough
10:50 <steven> "Oh... Look, you learned how to speak."
11:00 <Mekkis> children who have saved his life?
11:16 <steven> he has never been unconscious.
11:21 <steven> ever
11:24 <Mekkis> oh
12:00 <steven> mostly he lets the dumb people walk up front and distract people while he eats cupcakes and brownies.
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.
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.
14:45 <steven> after they attack him.
15:17 <Mekkis> it's almost like you, me and Avatar are playing three different games.
15:48 <steven> he doesnt usually do much in combat unless something makes him mad... then it dies.
17:33 <steven> once someone called him an idiot... that person at the end of the day was blinded, deafened, thrice cursed, and hobbled.
17:42 <steven> boneshattered his knees.
18:10 <Mekkis> seems rather antisocial. Considered not taking a protoge?
18:27 <steven> i've had the boon for 8 months now.
18:46 <Mekkis> ah
19:04 <Mekkis> when does the cookie wear off?
19:14 <steven> but he is a venture captain... so probably should impart some of his wisdom to the best of the idiots.
19:22 <steven> it wore off back in august.
19:52 <steven> his int is 36 currently.
20:30 <Mekkis> what's his wisdom :P
20:38 <steven> started 22+3 level+6headband+5book
20:41 <Mekkis> 7?
20:45 <steven> 18
21:09 <steven> headband of mental prowess
21:13 <Mekkis> started at 12?
21:17 <steven> int/wis+6
21:20 <steven> yup
21:21 <Mekkis> ah
21:44 <Mekkis> sharing his artificial wisdom 
21:54 <steven> his next big purchase is going to be a belt of physical perfection +6
22:25 <Mekkis> deceased is going for the mirror of mental prowess
22:30 <steven> so then his stats will be 18/13/20/26/18/8
22:48 <Mekkis> so much faster at moving livestock
23:07 <Avatar> dunno, I don't pay that much attention to it
23:15 <Avatar> it doesn't appear on the chronicle sheet
23:18 <steven> we're going to play reing of winter p5
23:29 <steven> in like another month and then my character will be going to lvl17
23:36 <steven> then we will do witchwar legacy
23:43 <steven> get to 18
23:46 <Brunius_> Mekkis: On my bestiary it's on both the cover and inside cover
23:54 <steven> last part of shattered star
23:57 <steven> level 19
24:04 <steven> and then play race for the runecarved key
24:11 <steven> and he will be my level 20
25:27 <steven> i havent played the character since i got the +6 wis added to the headband.
25:47 <steven> so he will probably be a bit less abusive towards the people that are not as smart as him.
26:52 <steven> suppose i could upgrade the headband as well...
27:00 <steven> get a cha of 14
28:05 <steven> ah ha! this character that is level 6
28:15 <steven> is my emerald spire guy
28:23 <steven> he owns a bunch of land.
32:07 <steven> obviously he should be the Seneschal for ahtuz.
32:22 <Mekkis> you playing any of these APs in PFS mode anyway?
33:16 <steven> no we arent playing reign of winter or shattered star.
33:32 <steven> our docket is pretty full for the next year or two when it comes to APs
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.
34:49 <steven> and supposedly we are going to be doing mummy's mask sometime.
36:59 <steven> i think this character will be some sort of dispassionate doctor
37:07 <Mekkis> how many of your characters have Traveller's Anytools?
38:03 <steven> none of them.
38:31 <Mekkis> okay
39:07 <Avatar> I can't believe once upon a time I struggled to get a character to tier 7-11
39:16 <steven> heh
39:17 <Avatar> now I can't keep my characters out of 7-11
39:34 <steven> i feel ya mang... most of my characters are in the 7-11 range now.
39:54 <Avatar> how is that happening
40:11 <Avatar> always having to slink back into playing low tier
40:18 <Avatar> low subtier
40:26 <steven> alright... a Seneschal.
40:35 <steven> obviously has profession doctor.
40:53 <Mekkis> and a cart full of alchemical supplies?
41:17 <steven> might just have to be a long lived race so i can get breadth of experience.
41:22 <steven> make all profession checks.
41:29 <Mekkis> Gnome!
41:33 <steven> 8/24 characters are level 5 or less in regular pfs
42:10 <steven> i could rock a gnome.
42:42 <steven> then have a 6 and three 2s for core.
43:26 <steven> hmmm... im thinking a dwarf.
43:52 <steven> just so i can be like, "I'm not as smart as Ahtuz, but im prettier."
43:56 <Mekkis> Gnome is objectively better than dwarf
44:42 <steven> I've already got a couple gnomes.
44:46 <steven> i only have 1 dwarf
45:12 <Mekkis> Played Glories of the Past 3 on Sunday night. My cleric had three spells he hadn't cast
45:16 <Mekkis> by the end of it
45:57 <Avatar> lol core.
46:32 <steven> i love me somre core.
46:44 <steven> avatar! level 6 protegee character... go!
46:51 <steven> i tend to have a lot of spells by the end of scenarios.
46:59 <steven> once i get past level 3 or so.
46:59 <Mekkis> so do I
47:04 <Mekkis> this was level 8
47:30 <steven> apprenticed to Ahtuz, high intelligence wizard.
47:44 <steven> lets leave this shit up to fate!
47:51 <steven> !rng dwarf elf gnome
47:51 <diebot> steven, dwarf
47:52 <steven> necromancer, worshiper of lissala
47:57 <steven> looks like a dwarf mang.
48:39 <Avatar> what?
49:08 <steven> dwarf seneschal
50:03 <steven> mebe an alchemist.
50:59 <Mekkis> Wow. Cold iron powder gives you +1 to dispel checks!
51:12 <steven> i have a level 6 character to build
51:41 <steven> its my eyes of the 10 protege character
53:05 <Avatar> that sounds extremely spoilery
53:51 <steven> so many people know about it now its not a spoiler anymore.
54:16 <steven> telling people what they have to do to get it is still a spoiler.
54:20 <Avatar> it's not spoilery anymore now that you've told me
54:28 <Avatar> right while I'm in the middle of the damn thing
55:02 <steven> i thought you finished it like two weeks back... might have been mekkis
55:08 <steven> balls.
55:28 <Avatar> yeah mekkis was talking about something like that last night actually
56:17 <steven> anyways... level 6 character
56:25 <steven> I'm thinking multiclass.
57:06 <steven> no fewer then 3 classes.
57:21 <Avatar> skald/brawler/investigator
57:46 <steven> what no prestige class.

58:21 <***> Buffer Playback...
58:21 <***> Playback Complete.
59:10 <steven> hmmmm.... mebe i should use my aasimar boon.
00:40 <Avatar> want an ifrit
00:42 <Avatar> or a sylph
00:50 <Avatar> I have one or two
00:52 <steven> i already have thsoe.
01:02 <steven> i mostly sit on my boons.
01:03 <Avatar> you can have more
01:09 <Avatar> cool pass me an extra trait
01:25 <steven> i'd have to mail it.
01:35 <Avatar> just scan it
01:44 <Avatar> isn't it listed somewhere as an animal you can take
01:45 <steven> i was told i cannot do that.
01:52 <Avatar> by who
02:31 <steven> campaign leadership
02:38 <Avatar> mike?
04:32 <steven> no
04:46 <Avatar> john?
05:12 <steven> theres conflicting quotes, and im not going to send one out until it gets settled.
05:24 <Avatar> I'll settle it, you can do it
06:00 <steven> lol
06:09 <steven> it used to be like that.
06:24 <steven> a lot of things used to be a just do it situation.
08:01 <Avatar> this one still is!
08:04 <steven> ugh i'll have to go through my pile of boons.
09:26 <Avatar> lemme know which one you want
11:10 <steven> 140 boons, no extra trait.
11:20 <Avatar> wow
12:33 <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.
15:45 <Avatar> our VC gives 1 person at every table a boon
15:57 <Avatar> does this random minigame thingamabob
16:44 <steven> everything i've been told bout 10% per slot of getting a boon.
17:41 <steven> but if somebody comes and plays ever slot, i usually slip em a boon anyways.
17:53 <Avatar> I think it still works out somehow
18:16 <steven> but yeah, i've got 140 boons
18:17 <Avatar> 10% per slot per person is about right
19:29 <steven> some of them are my personal boons, which are prolly around 40 or so.
21:50 <steven> i just dont use that many of the boons i get.
22:03 <Avatar> I don't think anyone does
22:13 <steven> only boon i've actually been enthused about was the GM star recharge.
22:29 <Avatar> I think I would trade that away
22:42 <Avatar> replaying scenarios doesn't do it for me
23:11 <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
23:36 <steven> which im applying to my core character since boon companion isnt available.
25:00 <steven> so at level 12 my eagle will be at effective druid level 4
25:21 <Mekkis> steven, do you have that boon that gives you a Dragon Empires Primer trait?
25:40 <steven> i dunno, i was only looking for extra traits.
27:46 <steven> avatar... having troubles making this skald/brawler/investigator
30:34 <Avatar> it wasn't a serious suggestion
30:41 <Avatar> I played an investigator in confirmation the other day
30:45 <Avatar> really didn't like it
31:03 <Avatar> I'm glad I didn't lock myself into it with my level 2 character
32:23 <steven> damn it man... i took it serious.
34:04 <steven> i think im gonna make my oread elemental body exploit character
40:41 <steven> level 11 he is just always an earth elemental
48:11 <steven> dunno if i wanna go with arcanist, sorcerer/DD, or wizard
50:01 <Mekkis> Back in the land of the Living and FAST internets
02:35 <Avatar> I'd say it's as valid a source as a monster is for a wizard's summon spell
04:48 <Avatar> a giant frog animal companion would be pretty cool
04:55 <Avatar> swallow the bad guys whole
10:50 <steven> methinks Arcanist is the way to go.
55:13 <Mekkis> is Roc a legal animal companion for Core? It's in the Bestiary
05:16 <steven> in core you're limited to the selections in the core rule book.

02:50 steven is now known as Steven1
13:42 Steven1 has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
45:53 <Avatar> apparently in core you can choose from the bestiary
25:35 Steven1 ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
25:36 Steven1 is now known as steven
25:51 <Avatar> apparently in core you can choose from the bestiary
27:55 steven is now known as Steven1
41:19 <Steven1> cool.
41:29 <Steven1> i think that was in the blog.
41:39 <Avatar> it wasn't clear in the blog, but mike commented
42:07 <Avatar> basically it's another fairly important ruling buried in a thread lost to oblivion
42:15 <Avatar> until gencon
42:23 <Steven1> If a Core Rulebook option advises that something found in the Core Rulebook is clarified in the Bestiary 1, then the player uses that specific option out of the Bestiary 1 to meet the requirement set forth in the Core Rulebook. That would include, but is not limited to, animal companions, special abilities, summon spells, etc... Only the Bestiary 1 is available for these extra options outside of the Core Rulebook.
42:33 <Steven1> thats pretty clear.
43:15 <Avatar> is that in the blog
43:22 <Steven1> yeah
43:27 <Avatar> well shiver me timbers
43:46 <Avatar> I don't know that it's "clarified" in bestiary 1
43:55 <Avatar> but it does list those as examples
44:03 <Avatar> so I guess that's what he meant
44:23 <Steven1> in beast 1 is lists the ACs available.
44:34 <Avatar> it lists extra ACs
46:10 <Steven1> I don't remember, i've built like 3 druids now and i always end up rebuilding into domain at 2nd level.
46:23 <Steven1> I really dislike having to run an AC because i always forget about it.
46:45 <Avatar> I had to use herolab to work out the stats for an AC once I think
46:53 <Avatar> or it might have been my familiar
47:03 <Avatar> the rules for it were really unclear
47:03 <Steven1> my core druid has a dog. because they are super uncomplicated.
47:14 <Avatar> but what about a giant frog
47:14 <Steven1> zero special abilities.
47:18 <Avatar> it can swallow whole bad guys
47:27 <Avatar> and hits touch AC and has pull
47:43 <Avatar> if I had a frog that would eat bad guys, I would be saying, hey, cool.
47:44 <Steven1> see... special abilities.
47:56 <Avatar> I would say it every time my frog ate something
47:58 <Steven1> that aint me.
48:04 <Avatar> I think it would be you
48:11 <Avatar> you would be all hey, cool
48:26 <Avatar> my frog would be my character and the character would be the companion
48:36 <Avatar> oh he can cast druid spells? so what
48:59 <Avatar> my frog's companion casts CLW on it
49:32 <Steven1> yeah, see that aint me.
49:41 <Steven1> I like my halfling
56:23 <Steven1> my awesome AC Dog named Patches.
00:14 <steven> hey
04:45 <Steven1> +3 to hit for 1d4+1 damage.
05:52 <Avatar> +3 to bite for 1d4+1 blood
06:37 <Steven1> it really is a horrible AC lol
06:53 <Steven1> anyways... played Day of the Demon Tonight.
07:05 <Steven1> in Core
07:08 <Steven1> zero deaths.
07:46 <Steven1> one of the guys at the shop was going to play and i was going to GM
08:00 <Steven1> but he only had a level 3, and was going to have to play in the 6-7 tier.
08:07 <Steven1> and i told him, he would probably die.
08:35 <Steven1> so instead he GM'd and everyone lived.
09:41 <Steven1> i did hit the boss with a thunder stone.  it failed fort save and then proceeded to roll a 17 and a 4 on percentiles, so failed to cast because she was deaf.
11:49 <Steven1> was good times.
13:51 <Goya> o/
17:35 <Avatar> impressive
17:42 <Avatar> the 20% chance never does a damn thing for me
17:50 <Avatar> which is a real problem because it's often my primary defense
17:57 <Steven1> i was super excited about it.
18:56 <Steven1> so i guess we're going to play bonekeep with these characters.
19:11 <Avatar> it's really a pain when you say to the GM "wait wait! roll 20% miss chance!" and then he rolls, and goes "ok I hit" over and over and over and over
19:39 <Avatar> I mean statisically he should have failed by accident at that stage
21:18 <Steven1> yeah
22:08 <Steven1> i dislike when a gm has a screen and has like 4-5 creatures w/ 3 attacks each and never misses due to concealment/total concealment.
22:36 <Steven1> and its like... okay you had 15 attacks 10 of which hit and none of them missed.
22:48 <Steven1> okay... okay. i can buy that.
22:51 <Steven1> next round same thing
23:00 <Steven1> and your like... hmm... that seems odd but okay.
23:12 <Steven1> and then third round same thing... I'm callin bullshit.
24:53 <Steven1> I've had a gm that over the course of a session never missed... not one time.  He always hit.  even my AC of 28 in tier 8-9.
25:01 <Steven1> I was the tank.
25:32 <Steven1> aparantly AC only worked when you could see the dicerolls.
26:34 <Steven1> that type of thing i why i roll out in the open at conventions and gamedays and if i need to fudge a number to keep someone alive i just change numbers on the statblock.
27:10 <Steven1> and if somebody calls out how the math is different, i just tell em not to worry bout it unless they want to use a 5k diamond.
31:22 <Steven1> think i've figured out what i'm going to build for my level 6 character.
31:34 <Steven1> gonna build my arcane archer from kingmaker.
37:51 <steven> how goes it man.
37:59 <steven> i passed that info along to the localish vL
07:46 <Steven1> or.... i could build a pain taster.
08:30 <Steven1> since im sure my wizard would punish him severely for fuck ups.
36:55 <Steven1> damn whip proficiency is tough to get without burning a feat
47:54 <Mekkis> or a level dip
49:21 <Mekkis> I like the deafen + silence combo :P
