17:56:49 <kilik> hello?
18:25:23 <Mekkis> hoi
18:33:29 <Steven1> yo
19:34:24 <Steven1> so last night we had our first ship to ship battle in skull and shackles... its not as fun as i thought it was going to be.
19:41:05 <Steven1> so now ive gotta find something else to do with my character
19:46:29 <Steven1> because we decided we were going to skip that portion of it for the most part.
20:07:00 <Lintor> thanks avatar all the games i would look at are full anyway
20:15:31 <kilik> any chance that a newbie can sit in some time and see you this is all about?
20:16:02 <kilik> * see what this is all about
20:21:11 <Mekkis> no problem
20:21:33 <Mekkis> so you want me to email you next time I'm running a game?
20:21:53 <Steven1> mmmmmmm cajun chicken, bacon, and avacado sandwich
20:21:56 <Steven1> nom nom nom
20:21:57 <kilik> cool! That would be amazing.
20:22:15 <kilik> and now I'm hungry....
20:24:53 <Steven1> so slayer5/Inner Sea Pirate2/Something else?
20:25:42 killik ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
20:26:28 <killik> I got booted off. this is still kilik.
20:27:37 <Mekkis> the next session will be a weekend, possibly next Saturday
20:27:52 <Mekkis> depending if the players can all make it
20:28:17 <killik> ok, do you want my email?
20:28:33 kilik has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
20:28:44 <Mekkis> yep. you can PM it to me
20:32:23 <killik> is there anything I should do before the next game so I can observe and maybe play?
20:32:51 <Mekkis> ideally, have CA working
20:32:52 <Mekkis> ?CA
20:32:55 <Mekkis> ?ca
20:32:56 <diebot> Mekkis, http://www.pfrpg.com.au/DevCA22b135.zip
20:33:10 <Steven1> download the parthfinder society guide to organized play
20:33:44 <killik> will do
20:34:48 <Steven1> yo mekkis, what prestige class would you go into with a character like this? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwFtjAun89SiWkl2dnpHSXZuVDQ/view?usp=sharing
20:35:26 <Steven1> other then inner sea pirate.
20:35:44 <Steven1> because im grabbing 2 levels of that prestige class. then im completely undecided
20:38:37 <killik> is there a specific user name or address I need to use or is it just whatever?
20:39:01 <Mekkis> it's what the GM announces when the game is on
20:40:18 <killik> ok. well I'm going to sign off and start reading the guide. thank you all for everything.
20:40:35 <Steven1> if you have any questions come on back and we'll answer em
20:40:51 <killik> will do
20:41:37 killik has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
20:41:49 <Mekkis> It's starting to actually get cold now
20:42:03 <Mekkis> Steven1, I don't understand what race and class you are now...
20:42:33 <Steven1> skinwalker seascale, half shark half man but not a lycanthrope
20:43:15 <Steven1> and stygian slayer is a slayer that gives up a talent or two but gains the ability to turn invisible 1/day
20:43:42 <Mekkis> any reason you're not interested in maintaining your base class?
20:44:04 <Steven1> and activate spell trigger/completion items of 0-4th level off the wizard spell list if they are illusion.
20:44:22 <Steven1> so basically ill get to use that wand of Mirror image i found
20:44:52 <Steven1> it doesnt really get any better after 7th level imo.
20:46:12 <Steven1> at 10th i get to transform into gaseous form which is pretty crappy.
20:47:32 <Steven1> basically levels 8-10 net me gaseous form, 1d6 sneak attack, and +1 att/dmg.
20:47:53 <Steven1> and im looking at other options.
20:47:59 <Steven1> just wondering if you had an idea
20:49:44 <Steven1> my plan is to go to 5 slayer/2inner sea pirate
20:49:51 <Steven1> after that pick up 2 more slayer
20:52:04 <Lintor> you could always base class hope ranger could work?
20:52:18 <Lintor> hop even
20:56:14 <Steven1> hmmm
20:56:30 <Steven1> i suppose i could go back to nonprestige classes
20:56:57 <Mekkis> take a level in occultist
20:57:14 <Lintor> i am guessing this is for skull and shackles.
20:58:24 <Lintor> if it is i imagine favored terrain sea could be rather good
21:00:26 <Steven1> yeah, ive been avoiding making the obvious choices like picking a class that will 'always' grant me a +2 bonus for things that are supposed to be situational
21:00:40 <Steven1> like evil outsiders when i played Wrath of the Righteous
21:03:09 <Steven1> feels kinda cheap to do something like that ya know.
21:03:57 <Avatar> just dont' multiclass and you'll be 'right
21:04:29 <Steven1> like oh we're playing wrath of the righteous, ill be a ranger w/ favored enemy evil outsider and favored terrain Planes(Abyss)
21:04:50 <Mekkis> How about swashbuckler?
21:05:40 <Steven1> My GM sincerly hates that class.
21:05:51 <Steven1> and im not much of a fan of it either.
21:11:48 <Avatar> what's wrong with it
21:11:52 <Avatar> because I was making one
21:14:38 <Mekkis> it's too easy
21:15:40 <Mekkis> Steven1, you should take levels in Master Spy
21:15:44 <Avatar> ?? good
21:16:34 <Mekkis> You like easy classes, Avatar
21:17:14 <Avatar> yeah I have tried building other classes and by level 8 I always need a rebuild
21:17:18 <Avatar> so easy classes for me thanks
21:17:25 <Mekkis> Avatar, who are your two favourite PFS character you play?
21:17:33 <Avatar> Buck and Snickers
21:17:45 <Avatar> both of which I can't even play in a regular scenario anymore
21:17:48 <Mekkis> they're both very easy classes
21:17:52 <Avatar> ya
21:18:08 <Avatar> James is next, but he's gone through a rebuild
21:18:30 <Avatar> Chai is pretty sweet so far but I think he will need a rebuild eventually
21:18:51 <Mekkis> Chai?
21:18:54 <Avatar> Judas I am kind of getting bored of, his whole schtick was being a sczarni paladin
21:19:09 <Avatar> Chai is that wizard you played with in scions 3 while being distracted by those dumb kids
21:19:17 <Avatar> the trip missiler
21:19:25 <Mekkis> oh
21:19:27 <Mekkis> meh
21:19:58 <Avatar> Pedro is meant to be the new gunslinger now that I can't play Buck, but he's a swashbuckler/gunslinger which may or may not work
21:20:13 <Avatar> but hey! they're both easy classes
21:20:16 <Mekkis> heh
21:20:24 <Avatar> I don't think I can make another witch
21:20:40 <Avatar> it's just slumber/misfortune/flight again
21:20:41 <Mekkis> Snickers is 12?
21:21:11 <Avatar> yeah
21:21:23 <Avatar> I accidentally miscounted 5 exp so she jumped from 10.1 to 12
21:21:29 <Mekkis> heeh
21:21:31 <Avatar> which sucks because I wanted split hex at 11
21:21:33 <Mekkis> 5XP
21:21:39 <Avatar> pretty bad
21:22:41 <Steven1> sorry guys needed to take the dog out
21:24:56 <Steven1> avatar, i dont like the swashbuckler because its OP as fuck.
21:26:28 <Mekkis> Avatar, what he means is that it's very easy to make a good swashbuckler - and not much harder to push the "good" to "broken"
21:28:13 <Steven1> if you had been at 2 of my tables at paizocon, or seen some of the characters at my shop, or been a part of my Rise of the Runelords game, or been at one of the tables at gencon... Basically every time i've seen a swashbuckler it has broken encounters.
21:30:23 <Steven1> basically i dont like them very much.
21:30:25 <Mekkis> Exactly. You can't claim to not be in a place where people try to break their character
21:31:20 <Steven1> last time i played with one, ac 43
21:31:53 <Steven1> which hey thats not overly stupid
21:32:01 <Steven1> oh... touch ac of 36
21:32:07 <Steven1> uncanny dodge
21:32:09 <Steven1> evasion
21:32:20 <Steven1> improved unarmed strike
21:32:57 <Steven1> crane style, into crane wing, crane repost
21:33:40 <Steven1> agile weapon
21:33:53 <Steven1> 1d4+25 or so damage
21:34:27 <Steven1> gets attacked, opportune parry and repost+crane Riposte... I'll take 2 attacks back
21:35:02 <Steven1> i know what you're thinking... just throw a creature with reach at him.
21:35:05 <Steven1> so i did.
21:35:35 <Mekkis> that's not what I'm thinking
21:36:32 <Mekkis> Send some gremlins at him
21:36:49 <Steven1> he activates his swordmaster's flair and his Pliant Gloves... oh look im a medium creature w/ 15ft reach.
21:36:51 <Mekkis> I suggest an Infestation
21:37:11 <Mekkis> What's that? make 26 DC10 fort saves?
21:37:34 <Mekkis> oh...
21:37:42 <Mekkis> They changed Shatter between 3.5 and Pathfinder
21:38:13 <Steven1> yeah, not as awesome.
21:38:46 <Steven1> the character was really broken.
21:38:59 <Mekkis> I think at that point the issue is the player
21:39:44 <Steven1> yeah, i dont play with him if i can avoid it at all.
21:39:59 <Steven1> but occasionally nobody is willing to GM so i get stuck GMing
21:44:55 <Mekkis> Steven1, if you wanted to visit a US embassy, are there any hoops you'd need to jump through?
21:45:38 <Steven1> not that im aware of
21:47:01 <Steven1> im a US citizen so they cant deny ME entry into the building, but they could deny me access to portions of the building i dont have clearance for.
21:49:05 <Steven1> damn it is hot tonight
21:49:10 <Steven1> 5am and its 24C
21:49:16 <Steven1> gonna get up to 40C today.
22:46:04 <Steven1> alright, went and looked at options, Think im going to go magus and just never pick any attacking spells
22:46:43 <Steven1> also ups my will save which i feel is lacking pretty severely.
