00:59:50 <joyntjezebel> is there anyone active in this chat room
02:18:38 <Mekkis> yes
03:02:08 <Mekkis> !capacity 14
03:02:09 <diebot> Mekkis, 58 if medium, 43.5 if small.
03:12:33 <Mekkis> http://article.olduse.net/507%40udenva.UUCP
03:34:34 <Avatar> hi any1 active? ok bye
03:44:11 <Avatar> isn't there another spell that does what that does
03:44:18 <Avatar> !spell dimensional anchor
03:44:21 <diebot> Avatar, DIMENSIONAL ANCHOR abjuration ([]) cleric/oracle 4, sorcerer/wizard 4, summoner 3, inquisitor 3 1 standard action Range: medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Comp: V, S Duration: 1 min./level Save: none SR:yes (object)Source: PFRPG Core
03:44:21 <diebot> A green ray springs from your hand. You must make a ranged touch attack to hit the target. Any creature or object struck by the ray is covered with a shimmering emerald field that completely blocks extradimensional travel. Forms of movement barred by a dimensional anchor include astral projection, blink, dimension door, ethereal jaunt,
03:44:21 <diebot> etherealness, gate, maze, plane shift, shadow walk, teleport, and similar spell-like abilities. The spell also prevents the use of a gate or teleportation circle for the duration of the spell. A dimensional anchor does not interfere with the movement of creatures already in ethereal or astral form when the spell is cast, nor does it block
03:44:21 <diebot> extradimensional perception or attack forms. Also, dimensional anchor does not prevent summoned creatures from disappearing at the end of a summoning spell.
03:44:51 <Avatar> some slight changes
03:45:09 <Avatar> ray vs reflex, SR vs none
03:49:21 <Steven1> yo
03:51:49 <Avatar> ya

04:08:15 <Avatar> you've got the real choice of a spear or a longspear and that's it
04:09:57 <Mekkis> what?
04:10:15 <Mekkis> you could be a wizard
04:10:31 <Avatar> I'm talking to someone who's playing an occultist
04:10:39 <Avatar> apparently their powers aren't as good as spells
04:10:55 <Avatar> a kineticist
04:11:20 <Avatar> I have to say I would love to play a kineticist to do some telekinetic shiz if the class is done right
04:11:28 <Avatar> I haven't had a good look at it and it's in playtest anyway
04:11:46 <steven> I liked the Psychic i did.
04:13:12 <steven> i disliked the Abomination discipline
04:25:24 <Avatar> really? the psychic looked like the least interesting?
04:25:31 <Avatar> or am I thinking of the medium
04:29:08 <Mekkis> moin
04:29:26 <Mekkis> I actually used that in QQ
05:05:14 <Steven1> i just hit myself right in the face with a piece of wood.
05:06:07 <Steven1> choppin wood and a piece flew off and ricochet
05:08:18 <Mekkis> lol
05:09:34 <Steven1> sittin here now, it is pretty fun... im pretty sure i woke up the neighbor with my cussing though
05:09:42 <Steven1> funny even
05:10:28 <Mekkis> What class are you playing?
05:16:23 <Steven1> I've got a ranger2/rogue3/invisible blade 2

06:09:01 <Mekkis> probably. Cubans
06:13:15 <Mekkis> @=
06:13:23 <Steven1> installing me some neverwinter nights 2
06:14:32 <Mekkis> awesome. Want to do something multiplayer?
06:16:25 <Steven1> mebe later... I still need to remember how to play lol
06:17:47 <vpsirc> heh
06:19:59 <Steven1> this migraine sucks a fatty dick
06:22:04 <Steven1> installing mask of the betrayer
06:24:41 <Mekkis> I always liked MotB
06:24:51 <Mekkis> it's in my Top 5 computer games
06:25:56 <Steven1> i dont remember anything about the game, its been too long.
06:27:11 <Mekkis> I am cursed with a very good memory
06:27:56 <Steven1> I remember mostly mathmatical formulas dealing with how water/pollutants move through the ground.
06:28:12 <Mekkis> You did geophysics?
06:28:50 <Steven1> I spent 4 years at the University studying Hydrogeology until i was struck by chronic migraines.
06:29:38 <Mekkis> Have you heard of MASW?
06:29:41 <Steven1> It really sucks.
06:30:23 <Steven1> A bit yeah.
06:32:04 <Steven1> To be completely honest, most of what i did was check peoples math.
06:32:14 <Steven1> I'm really good at math.
06:32:36 <Steven1> and theres 2 types of hydrogeologits, those who do math and those who do field work.
06:33:30 <Steven1> ooooooh... storm of zehir.
06:33:34 <Steven1> i might have to buy that.
06:33:41 <Steven1> never knew they came out with another expansion
06:41:59 <Mekkis> I didn't particularly like it
06:43:06 <Steven1> this update is taking forever.
06:48:31 <Steven1> zero special abilities.
06:48:35 <Avatar> it can swallow whole bad guys
06:48:44 <Avatar> and hits touch AC and has pull
06:48:59 <Avatar> if I had a frog that would eat bad guys, I would be saying, hey, cool.
06:49:00 <Steven1> see... special abilities.
06:49:12 <Avatar> I would say it every time my frog ate something
06:49:14 <Steven1> that aint me.
06:49:21 <Avatar> I think it would be you
06:49:27 <Avatar> you would be all hey, cool
06:49:43 <Avatar> my frog would be my character and the character would be the companion
06:49:53 <Avatar> oh he can cast druid spells? so what
06:50:16 <Avatar> my frog's companion casts CLW on it
06:50:48 <Steven1> yeah, see that aint me.
06:50:57 <Steven1> I like my halfling
06:57:39 <Steven1> my awesome AC Dog named Patches.
07:06:01 <Steven1> +3 to hit for 1d4+1 damage.
07:07:08 <Avatar> +3 to bite for 1d4+1 blood
07:07:54 <Steven1> it really is a horrible AC lol
07:08:09 <Steven1> anyways... played Day of the Demon Tonight.
07:08:22 <Steven1> in Core
07:08:24 <Steven1> zero deaths.
07:09:03 <Steven1> one of the guys at the shop was going to play and i was going to GM
07:09:17 <Steven1> but he only had a level 3, and was going to have to play in the 6-7 tier.
07:09:23 <Steven1> and i told him, he would probably die.
07:09:52 <Steven1> so instead he GM'd and everyone lived.
07:10:57 <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.
07:13:06 <Steven1> was good times.
07:15:01 <Mekkis> get better interwebs
07:17:55 <Steven1> wasnt on my end i dont believe.
07:18:52 <Avatar> impressive
07:18:58 <Avatar> the 20% chance never does a damn thing for me
07:19:07 <Avatar> which is a real problem because it's often my primary defense
07:19:14 <Steven1> i was super excited about it.
07:20:13 <Steven1> so i guess we're going to play bonekeep with these characters.
07:20:27 <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
07:20:55 <Steven1> alright, starting to play.
07:20:56 <Avatar> I mean statisically he should have failed by accident at that stage
07:22:34 <Steven1> yeah
07:23:25 <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.
07:23:52 <Steven1> and its like... okay you had 15 attacks 10 of which hit and none of them missed.
07:24:05 <Steven1> okay... okay. i can buy that.
07:24:08 <Steven1> next round same thing
07:24:17 <Steven1> and your like... hmm... that seems odd but okay.
07:24:28 <Steven1> and then third round same thing... I'm callin bullshit.
07:26:09 <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.
07:26:18 <Steven1> I was the tank.
07:26:49 <Steven1> aparantly AC only worked when you could see the dicerolls.
07:27:51 <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.
07:28:26 <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.

If the creature fails, it takes a -2 penalty on attack rolls and saving throws and to Armor Class for the duration of this spell, or until it successfully hits you with an
07:49:49 <diebot> attack. A creature that has resisted or broken the cannot be affected again by this particular casting of archon's aura.

07:54:32 <Mekkis> Steven1, seen the description for Oldlaw Whiskey in Adventurer's Armoury?
08:03:49 Gamera ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
08:09:03 <Steven1> or.... i could build a pain taster.
08:09:46 <Steven1> since im sure my wizard would punish him severely for fuck ups.
08:22:54 <Avatar> heavyload belt looks alright, pity it takes up a belt slot
08:26:29 <Brunius`> I finally bought a hard copy of the bestiary today
08:38:11 <Steven1> damn whip proficiency is tough to get without burning a feat
08:45:57 <Steven1> no
08:46:07 <Steven1> well probably have, just dont recall it.
08:46:24 <Steven1> its nice having a hard copy when you've got multiple creature types in a combat.
08:46:36 <Mekkis> Oldlaw Whiskey: This single-malt whiskey is made in
08:46:37 <Mekkis> Molthune at a distillery that has existed longer than the
08:46:37 <Mekkis> country itself. The smooth rye whiskey is a favorite of old
08:46:37 <Mekkis> soldiers everywhere.
08:49:03 <Steven1> damn it... the game is bugged. when i pick up the shard in the swamp it wont trigger the cut scene
08:52:49 <Mekkis> pretty sure that single malt whiskey can't be rye whiskey. By definition
09:03:09 <Steven1> that build is not good after you get past fort locke really.
09:06:16 <Steven1> hipster jargon maybe
09:15:39 <Steven1> fixed it.
09:15:49 <Steven1> had to debug the game, but i got the conversation to load.
09:22:52 Gamera has quit (Quit: )
09:29:02 <Mekkis> neither
09:49:11 <Mekkis> or a level dip
09:50:38 <Mekkis> I like the deafen + silence combo :P
10:41:36 <Mekkis> does DDDDD NNNN DDDD get you kicked?
10:41:44 <Mekkis> or is dicebot dead
10:41:50 <Steven1> I think I'm gonna restart.
10:42:09 <Steven1> build something a little off the wall but it should be significantly better then the last character.
10:48:34 <Steven1> thinkin of mixing dragon disciple and pale master

16:39:06 <Steven1> hi
17:15:06 <Avatar> what good is silence if you're using deafen
17:21:44 <Mekkis> you deafen them, so they don't realise they've been silenced
17:24:45 <Avatar> are you hoping they fail their spellcraft check
17:25:04 <Avatar> just a -5 penalty with the deafen
17:28:47 <Mekkis> no
17:29:05 <Mekkis> just do it out ofosight
17:35:28 <Avatar> gotcha
17:45:31 <Mekkis> they just feel that they've been constantly failing their 20%
18:11:34 <Mekkis> !spell chains of light

18:11:39 <diebot> A creature targeted by this spell is held immobile by glowing golden chains composed of pure light. The creature is paralyzed and held in place, but may attempt a new saving throw each round to end the effect. While held by the golden chains, a creature cannot use any sort of extradimensional travel, such as astral projection, blink, dimension
18:11:39 <diebot> door, ethereal jaunt, etherealness, gate, maze, plane shift, shadow walk, teleport, and similar spells and spell-like abilities. The spell does not affect creatures that are already in ethereal or astral form when the spell is cast.
18:40:53 <Avatar> [13:10] <kevinwitchdoctor> Hello
18:55:07 <Mekkis> heh. most recent FAQ...
18:55:15 <Mekkis> Concealment and Precision Damage: Does concealment (the 20% kind, not total concealment) negate all kinds of precision damage? There is some confusion from the multiple places where precision damage appears.
18:55:15 <Mekkis> Yes, in general concealment does negate all kinds of precision damage, unless you have a special ability that particularly says otherwise like the Shadow Strike feat or the Unchained rogue’s sneak attack.
19:23:22 <Avatar> what's that about
19:23:52 <Mekkis> or the Unchained rogue’s sneak attack.
19:27:14 <Avatar> meaning what
19:30:47 <Steven1> so what up avatar
19:35:03 <Mekkis> they'ree talking more about unchained
19:38:12 <Avatar> I didn't realise that book is coming out is only a couple of weeks
19:38:15 <Avatar> I thought it was coming out at gencon
19:38:31 <Avatar> they've released two blogs about it
19:38:36 <Avatar> in the past 2 weeks
19:40:11 <Steven1> I finally figure out what to make for my level 6 blob
19:49:17 <Avatar> gta 5 yo
19:53:42 Gamera ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
20:03:10 <Mekkis> mmm
20:03:29 <Mekkis> hopefully it's a prelude to a Pathfinder reboot
20:08:58 <Steven1> yeah, my brother i downloading it right now.
20:09:00 <Steven1> 60gig
20:10:03 <Steven1> hmmmm... gunslinger1/wizard5
20:10:22 <Steven1> or just wizard 6 and eat the feat.
20:10:34 <Steven1> well 2 feats
20:10:43 <Steven1> 1 for gunsmithing 1 for exotic weap prof
20:12:47 <Steven1> think im gonna have to dump a spell level... 2 feats is pretty horrible.
20:13:21 <Steven1> since i've got to get a fair bit of ranged feats.
20:20:55 <Steven1> hmmm... start with a musket or a pistol.
20:21:02 <Steven1> !rng musket pistol
20:21:02 <diebot> Steven1, musket
20:23:42 <Avatar> Pathfinder 2nd edition methinx
20:42:31 <Steven1> !rng familiar bond
20:42:31 <diebot> Steven1, familiar
22:03:17 <Steven1> pretty quiet in here...
22:03:22 <Steven1> also its snowing outside right now.
22:03:36 <Mekkis> Applying for a job here
22:03:38 <Mekkis> it's a bitch
22:05:32 <Avatar> I like this: The pitch was simple: "Let us do a book filled with whatever crazy ideas we have floating around in our heads". He said "no". I said, "Wait though, allow me to explain, our crazy ideas might make the game better." He said "tell me more"
22:06:16 <Steven1> shitty job or shitty application process?
22:15:59 <Mekkis> shitty application process
22:16:59 <Mekkis> really?
22:17:38 <Mekkis> I'd rather a pitch like "Let's go back and fix all those things that don't work, don't fit with the power level, and are really unintuitive, and put them in a book."
22:17:58 <Avatar> I like erik's reponses better
22:18:14 <Avatar> he said "no"
22:25:50 <Mekkis> Pathfinder doesn't need "new, crazy ideas"
22:27:54 <Steven1> hate it when its like that.
22:28:28 <Steven1> I had one that i had to fill out a bunch of information... all of which was on my resume, and then attach my resume to the end of it...
22:31:22 <Avatar> oh yes it does
22:31:27 <Avatar> new crazy ideas will save the rogue
22:31:55 <Mekkis> this is "Write three 400 word essays"
22:32:14 <Mekkis> not new and crazy
22:34:53 <Steven1> blech!
22:35:23 <Mekkis> Oh well, it's done
22:37:46 <Steven1> Yay!
22:37:53 <Steven1> I made a gunslinger/wizard.
22:38:44 <Steven1> It is pretty horrible... dunno if im actually going to put the credit into him.
23:02:30 <Mekkis> I'm bringing a core wizard into emerald spire
23:02:40 <Mekkis> can you suggest any consumables he should buy?
23:03:52 <Mekkis> you know... screw it. I'm spending 2pp on a Feather Token (Whip)
23:14:19 <Steven1> its a fantastic item.
23:14:48 <Steven1> Nearly everytime someone died in our core games it was because of designer 'gotcha'
23:15:31 <Steven1> sorry not core
23:15:34 <Steven1> emerald spire
23:25:12 <Mekkis> ah
23:25:20 <Mekkis> looking at the faction cards
23:25:30 <Mekkis> they've got a typographic issue
23:26:20 <Steven1> i remember one spot in emerald spire where the deck was so far stacked against us at the end of the fight we had everyone at less then 5hp
23:26:23 <Steven1> 6 man party
23:26:33 <Steven1> no spells
23:26:35 <Steven1> no channels
23:26:46 <Steven1> no rounds of rage.... anything.
23:26:52 <Steven1> we were tapped the fuck out.
23:28:43 <Steven1> all off of 1 creature.
23:42:45 <Mekkis> that's just poor design
