03:44:46 <Brunius> oh
03:44:51 <Brunius> my watch is an hour fast
03:45:06 <Brunius> that explains why the darkness outside didn't match my expectations
03:46:09 <Avatar> looks pretty dark outside to me for 5.30
03:54:26 <Brunius> My watch said 6:00 an hour ago and I went "what? no way it's 6:00 with how dark it is"
03:59:20 <kilik> hello?
04:07:22 <Steven1> i got to be a pirate tonight.
04:15:27 <Steven1> gotta find me some something to buy.
04:23:05 <Lintor> steven1 i am always a pirate
04:23:12 <Steven1> solid
04:26:49 <Steven1> but i was talking about some skull and shackles action
04:26:55 <Lintor> mekkis, kapow you two about yet?
04:27:54 <Mekkis> hoi
04:35:46 <Brunius> bing bong, it's 1830

04:41:14 Chiarra ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
04:41:33 Chiarra has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
04:49:45 <Brunius> man and I got out of bed for this and everything
04:50:14 <Lintor> same i have 2 infected ears
04:54:29 <Steven1> sucky
04:54:47 <Steven1> one of our party members for todays game was to show up at 3pm.
04:54:54 <Avatar> allow 15 minutes after startup then take off
04:55:02 <Steven1> we contacted him at 320 and were like where you at man?
04:55:36 <Steven1> turns out, he was fixing himself some lunch and would be walking down to the shop afterwords... only was gonna be like another 30 or so minutes.
04:56:04 <Avatar> hopefully the GM put his character through a grisly death
04:59:41 <Brunius> If you're gonna be late, you should call it in, especially if you're gonna be that late
05:00:06 <Steven1> nah, we gave him a lot of shit though
05:00:54 <Mekkis> hey hey
05:01:02 <Mekkis> Brunius, did you see your SMS
05:01:10 <Brunius> nope
05:01:21 <Mekkis> I did send via sms
05:13:49 <Lintor> avatar you running any pfs in the next couple of weeks i am on holidays for the next 2 weeks
05:36:55 <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.
05:43:36 <Steven1> so now ive gotta find something else to do with my character
05:49:00 <Steven1> because we decided we were going to skip that portion of it for the most part.
06:09:31 <Lintor> thanks avatar all the games i would look at are full anyway
06:10:17 <Lintor> later
06:18:02 <kilik> any chance that a newbie can sit in some time and see you this is all about?
06:18:33 <kilik> * see what this is all about
06:23:42 <Mekkis> no problem
06:24:04 <Mekkis> so you want me to email you next time I'm running a game?
06:24:24 <Steven1> mmmmmmm cajun chicken, bacon, and avacado sandwich
06:24:27 <Steven1> nom nom nom
06:24:28 <kilik> cool! That would be amazing.
06:24:46 <kilik> and now I'm hungry....
06:27:23 <Steven1> so slayer5/Inner Sea Pirate2/Something else?
06:28:59 <killik> I got booted off. this is still kilik.
06:30:08 <Mekkis> the next session will be a weekend, possibly next Saturday
06:30:23 <Mekkis> depending if the players can all make it
06:30:48 <killik> ok, do you want my email?
06:31:16 <Mekkis> yep. you can PM it to me
06:34:53 <killik> is there anything I should do before the next game so I can observe and maybe play?
06:35:22 <Mekkis> ideally, have CA working
06:35:24 <Mekkis> ?CA
06:35:26 <Mekkis> ?ca
06:35:26 <diebot> Mekkis, http://www.pfrpg.com.au/DevCA22b135.zip
06:35:41 <Steven1> download the parthfinder society guide to organized play
06:36:15 <killik> will do
06:37:19 <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
06:37:56 <Steven1> other then inner sea pirate.
06:38:15 <Steven1> because im grabbing 2 levels of that prestige class. then im completely undecided
06:41:08 <killik> is there a specific user name or address I need to use or is it just whatever?
06:41:33 <Mekkis> it's what the GM announces when the game is on
06:42:49 <killik> ok. well I'm going to sign off and start reading the guide. thank you all for everything.
06:43:06 <Steven1> if you have any questions come on back and we'll answer em
06:43:22 <killik> will do
06:44:20 <Mekkis> It's starting to actually get cold now
06:44:34 <Mekkis> Steven1, I don't understand what race and class you are now...
06:45:04 <Steven1> skinwalker seascale, half shark half man but not a lycanthrope
06:45:46 <Steven1> and stygian slayer is a slayer that gives up a talent or two but gains the ability to turn invisible 1/day
06:46:13 <Mekkis> any reason you're not interested in maintaining your base class?
06:46:35 <Steven1> and activate spell trigger/completion items of 0-4th level off the wizard spell list if they are illusion.
06:46:52 <Steven1> so basically ill get to use that wand of Mirror image i found
06:47:23 <Steven1> it doesnt really get any better after 7th level imo.
06:48:43 <Steven1> at 10th i get to transform into gaseous form which is pretty crappy.
06:50:02 <Steven1> basically levels 8-10 net me gaseous form, 1d6 sneak attack, and +1 att/dmg.
06:50:24 <Steven1> and im looking at other options.
06:50:30 <Steven1> just wondering if you had an idea
06:52:15 <Steven1> my plan is to go to 5 slayer/2inner sea pirate
06:52:22 <Steven1> after that pick up 2 more slayer
06:54:34 <Lintor> you could always base class hope ranger could work?
06:54:49 <Lintor> hop even
06:58:45 <Steven1> hmmm
06:59:01 <Steven1> i suppose i could go back to nonprestige classes
06:59:28 <Mekkis> take a level in occultist
06:59:45 <Lintor> i am guessing this is for skull and shackles.
07:00:55 <Lintor> if it is i imagine favored terrain sea could be rather good
07:02:57 <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
07:03:11 <Steven1> like evil outsiders when i played Wrath of the Righteous
07:05:40 <Steven1> feels kinda cheap to do something like that ya know.
07:06:28 <Avatar> just dont' multiclass and you'll be 'right
07:07:00 <Steven1> like oh we're playing wrath of the righteous, ill be a ranger w/ favored enemy evil outsider and favored terrain Planes(Abyss)
07:07:22 <Mekkis> How about swashbuckler?
07:08:11 <Steven1> My GM sincerly hates that class.
07:08:22 <Steven1> and im not much of a fan of it either.
07:14:19 <Avatar> what's wrong with it
07:14:23 <Avatar> because I was making one
07:17:09 <Mekkis> it's too easy
07:18:11 <Mekkis> Steven1, you should take levels in Master Spy
07:18:15 <Avatar> ?? good
07:19:05 <Mekkis> You like easy classes, Avatar
07:19:44 <Avatar> yeah I have tried building other classes and by level 8 I always need a rebuild
07:19:49 <Avatar> so easy classes for me thanks
07:19:56 <Mekkis> Avatar, who are your two favourite PFS character you play?
07:20:04 <Avatar> Buck and Snickers
07:20:16 <Avatar> both of which I can't even play in a regular scenario anymore
07:20:19 <Mekkis> they're both very easy classes
07:20:23 <Avatar> ya
07:20:39 <Avatar> James is next, but he's gone through a rebuild
07:21:00 <Avatar> Chai is pretty sweet so far but I think he will need a rebuild eventually
07:21:22 <Mekkis> Chai?
07:21:25 <Avatar> Judas I am kind of getting bored of, his whole schtick was being a sczarni paladin
07:21:40 <Avatar> Chai is that wizard you played with in scions 3 while being distracted by those dumb kids
07:21:48 <Avatar> the trip missiler
07:21:56 <Mekkis> oh
07:21:59 <Mekkis> meh
07:22:29 <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
07:22:43 <Avatar> but hey! they're both easy classes
07:22:48 <Mekkis> heh
07:22:55 <Avatar> I don't think I can make another witch
07:23:11 <Avatar> it's just slumber/misfortune/flight again
07:23:12 <Mekkis> Snickers is 12?
07:23:42 <Avatar> yeah
07:23:54 <Avatar> I accidentally miscounted 5 exp so she jumped from 10.1 to 12
07:24:00 <Mekkis> heeh
07:24:02 <Avatar> which sucks because I wanted split hex at 11
07:24:04 <Mekkis> 5XP
07:24:10 <Avatar> pretty bad
07:25:12 <Steven1> sorry guys needed to take the dog out
07:27:26 <Steven1> avatar, i dont like the swashbuckler because its OP as fuck.
07:28:59 <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"
07:30:43 <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.
07:32:54 <Steven1> basically i dont like them very much.
07:32:56 <Mekkis> Exactly. You can't claim to not be in a place where people try to break their character
07:33:51 <Steven1> last time i played with one, ac 43
07:34:24 <Steven1> which hey thats not overly stupid
07:34:31 <Steven1> oh... touch ac of 36
07:34:38 <Steven1> uncanny dodge
07:34:40 <Steven1> evasion
07:34:51 <Steven1> improved unarmed strike
07:35:28 <Steven1> crane style, into crane wing, crane repost
07:36:11 <Steven1> agile weapon
07:36:24 <Steven1> 1d4+25 or so damage
07:36:58 <Steven1> gets attacked, opportune parry and repost+crane Riposte... I'll take 2 attacks back
07:37:33 <Steven1> i know what you're thinking... just throw a creature with reach at him.
07:37:36 <Steven1> so i did.
07:38:07 <Mekkis> that's not what I'm thinking
07:39:03 <Mekkis> Send some gremlins at him
07:39:20 <Steven1> he activates his swordmaster's flair and his Pliant Gloves... oh look im a medium creature w/ 15ft reach.
07:39:22 <Mekkis> I suggest an Infestation
07:39:42 <Mekkis> What's that? make 26 DC10 fort saves?
07:40:06 <Mekkis> oh...
07:40:14 <Mekkis> They changed Shatter between 3.5 and Pathfinder
07:40:44 <Steven1> yeah, not as awesome.
07:41:17 <Steven1> the character was really broken.
07:41:31 <Mekkis> I think at that point the issue is the player
07:42:15 <Steven1> yeah, i dont play with him if i can avoid it at all.
07:42:30 <Steven1> but occasionally nobody is willing to GM so i get stuck GMing
07:47:26 <Mekkis> Steven1, if you wanted to visit a US embassy, are there any hoops you'd need to jump through?
07:48:08 <Steven1> not that im aware of
07:49:32 <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.
07:51:35 <Steven1> damn it is hot tonight
07:51:41 <Steven1> 5am and its 24C
07:51:47 <Steven1> gonna get up to 40C today.
08:13:52 <Mekkis> He wrote an opera, where she took the lead role. In the opera, her love interest was supposed to have something happen to him, resulting in an ending that the first audiences disliked, and there were negative reviews of the opera. In a later performance, unbeknownst to him, she conspired with the love interest to come up with a better "happy" ending. She pulls it off, the audience and reviewers are rapt and excited, but he feels jealousy for "his creati
08:13:53 <Mekkis> on" being perverted in this way, especially as he needs to continue to direct the opera - with her modifications - for the rest of the season. After one particularly good show, finds his wife in her dressing room - on top of the actor playing the love interest.
08:14:36 <Mekkis> In a fit of rage, he kills them both.
08:16:17 <Mekkis> What do you think, Steven1?
08:48:35 <Steven1> alright, went and looked at options, Think im going to go magus and just never pick any attacking spells
08:49:14 <Steven1> also ups my will save which i feel is lacking pretty severely.

17:16:47 <Steven1> GM'd cyphermage dilema tonight.
17:17:11 <Steven1> I rolled like a Golden god of awesome.
17:19:07 <Steven1> i compensated by allowing things that usually shouldnt work to work.
17:28:36 <Steven1> my players rolled for shit and couldnt climb anything.
17:33:10 <Steven1> and you lose your dex mod while climbing.
17:33:20 <Steven1> and everything in that scenario is a rogue.
17:33:28 <Steven1> so its like free vital strikes all day long.
17:35:09 <Steven1> Blast it... so turns out you cant slow track and rack up check marks on your faction card.
17:36:36 <Steven1> BOOM clarified by john its totes cool to slow track.
17:36:54 <Steven1> that line of text is just meant to stop people from GMing Quests and getting credit.
17:42:30 <Avatar> I don't think I've played cyphermage dilemma
17:55:57 <Steven1> but its like 3 years old.
17:56:16 <Steven1> remind me to run it sometime for you.
18:00:43 <Avatar> ulzef: there's an online con on at the moment
18:02:39 <Avatar> https://warhorn.net/events/ap-con-2015/schedule/2015/06/27
18:08:38 <Mekkis> Avatar, pretty sure you were on Ulzef and Deceased's table
18:08:55 <Mekkis> Could have been Ulzef and Itzamna
18:35:48 <Avatar> mekkis' idea was good relaxer
18:35:49 <Avatar> go with that
18:36:07 <Avatar> "reasonable excuse to kill his wife", c'mon
18:36:30 <Avatar> there was a fantastic quote I saw on the forums yesterday, lemme find it
18:37:11 <Avatar> Me: Since it should be pretty clear this guy wasnt convinced by that Diplomacy check, I'd like to make one as well.
18:37:11 <Avatar> GM: Ok, what do you say?
18:37:11 <Avatar> Me: "Come on, man. Come on." *Diplo 32*
18:37:11 <Avatar> Gm: *sigh*
18:37:46 <Avatar> "Come on, man. Come on." I am going to try that someday
18:43:32 <Steven1> im taking the first part of it but i want him to be an unrepentent murderer
18:44:45 <Avatar> so make him unrepentent
18:44:58 <Avatar> the whole story still works
18:48:03 <Avatar> "come on, man. come on"
18:55:07 <Steven1> so mekkis i decided to start leveling in Magus for that slayer.
18:55:43 <Steven1> so slayer 4/Innersea pirate 2/MagusX
18:56:41 <Steven1> i will never spell combat or spellstrike i dont think.
18:57:05 <Steven1> well i for sure wont until im level 3.
18:57:21 <Steven1> because you cant spell combat/spellstrike with natural weapons aparantly.
19:01:22 <Steven1> though i suppose i dont have to go magus. I dont wanna go bard though.
19:12:35 <Avatar> Mekkis: nope, I haven't played it
