34:33 <Steven> well depending on how the GM handles things the technologist feat is a feat tax or completely worthless.
35:45 <Steven> None of my players at paizocon had the feat and they all did fine in the scenario.
39:59 <Avatar> you just don't get to learn the lore which makes the game interesting
52:56 <Steven> if you get a decent GM you mostly dont get to know the abilities of creatures you meat until you actually see the ability, then you get to work it out.
54:41 <Steven> heh meat... lol
38:43 <mib_6d5dx1> hello?
42:01 <mib_6d5dx1> is anybody alive?
07:41 <Steven1> mouth is on fire.
10:14 <s_gmusic> just wait until later. xD
11:51 <Steven1> it will be worth it if i get over this cold.
21:24 <Steven1> so new PM... pretty exciting for you guys.
21:34 <Steven1> as i understand it, he was not well liked.
34:51 <Sprayer> hello
41:36 <Steven1> hey
37:56 <Avatar> steven: I would not eat food made by anyone who throws stuff at me
38:04 <Avatar> unless I am PARTICULARLY hungry
38:06 <steven> word
01:55 <Mekkis> Steven1, he's better liked than old PM
17:44 <Avatar> that's about where it ends
18:03 <Avatar> maybe that's not fair
18:10 <Avatar> I don't think the new PM will be eating raw onions
18:33 <Avatar> for no reason except to show he likes eating raw onions
23:20 <Steven1> he ate raw onions... that mother fucker is hardcore.
24:34 <Avatar> not even a PR stunt
24:39 <Avatar> just because
25:11 <Avatar> there's a thread on facebook where he gives a speech on his page
25:26 <Avatar> reading the comments is very discouraging
25:34 <Avatar> so much heartfelt support for him
25:53 <Steven1> lol
52:01 <Avatar> bluff is the best skill in the game
04:33 <Steven1> so aparantly i'm a horrible prson because i didnt want to eat a bland pot pie my friend made.
07:25 <Steven1> playing an ap tonight with my wizard
07:32 <Steven1> found a ring of wizardry
07:52 <Steven1> soon as i rest 8 magic missiles per day.
18:05 <Avatar> what?
18:25 <Avatar> you are starting to sound like mekkis with your no-context one-liners
18:44 <Avatar> in other news, online con begins in mid november
18:59 <Avatar> https://warhorn.net/events/aethercon-iv
19:24 <Steven1> im editing it down so that i can just post this conversation.
19:52 <Avatar> a line like that requires explanation mate
20:00 <Avatar> you can't just let it sit until it baits a reply
20:03 <Avatar> we're listening
20:06 <Steven1> im editing the conversation down... like right now.
20:08 <Avatar> your good story will bait a reply
20:16 <Avatar> alright well on the double
20:17 <Steven1> so that i can post it.
22:07 <Avatar> having said that about the con and that link, I can't actually see the games yet
22:13 <Avatar> I assume they will on there in due course
22:30 <Avatar> unless I'm looking at the wrong spot
24:12 <Steven1> Steve
24:12 <Steven1> I want some Tacos!
24:12 <Steven1> Rikki
24:12 <Steven1> I would make you some Steve but you don't like anything I make
24:12 <Steven1> Steven
24:12 <Steven1> That is not true rikki... I just didnt like anything you made last time.
24:12 <Steven1> Rikki 
24:12 <Steven1> You didn't try it
24:12 <Steven1> Steven 
24:12 <Steven1> i didnt need to.
24:12 <Steven1> I smelled it.
24:12 <Steven1> You're a dick
24:12 <Steven1> I'm sorry I have a fantastic sense of smell
24:12 <Steven1> No you dont
24:12 <Steven1> I smelled the potpie and determined I didn't want any based on what I smelled. Get over it. When you cook things some people arent going to want to eat it.  I've cooked thousands of meals over the course of my life and sometimes people didn't want to try what i cooked.  Doesn't mean it was bad, it just means they didn't want any.
24:12 <Steven1> A.j. 
24:12 <Steven1> "You're bad and you should feel bad!" - basically what this quarrel sums up to.
24:36 <steven> damn it, i forgot the spam thing
24:40 <steven> how much got through?
25:36 <Avatar> she sounds passionate about making you eat her things
26:14 <steven> yuuuuuup
26:45 <steven> so thats why im saying... i'm obviously a horrible person because i didnt want to eat somebodies bland pot pie
26:54 <Avatar> I would have stuck with I don't want to eat your things
27:03 <Avatar> none of this 'last time' garbage that just kept going on and on
27:20 <steven> Well... she made a pie once that was decent.
27:26 <steven> i ate some of the pie.
27:39 <Avatar> why didn't you bring that up
27:50 <steven> She has a problem with getting 'adventurous' with flavors.
28:00 <Avatar> gotta add some niceties into the conversation when you're abusing their current cooking
28:07 <steven> which isnt a bad thing... unless its a bad adventure.
29:01 <steven> Well, I know how to cook, I have about 200 or so recipes saved to my drive.  She knows I'm a good cook, and when she cant figure out how to do something she calls me and i send her a recipe.
29:10 <steven> and then she destroys it by trying to get creative.
30:06 <steven> so if you bring me something to eat and ask me how it is... I'm going to give you my honest opinion because thats how you get better as a cook, by people telling you what is shit and what is not.
31:06 <steven> so i smelt her pot pie, i could tell by the smell she forgot to add any spices to it.  Why would i want to eat pie crust, chicken, potatos, and carrots in a thin gravy?
31:25 <steven> so i told her she forgot spices... like not even any pepper.
31:47 <steven> and gave her suggestions on spices she could add.
32:06 <steven> dash of paparika for flavor but no spice
32:14 <steven> pepper, salt
33:15 <steven> basically anything
33:35 <steven> and as you can tell... she is quite upset.
37:38 <steven> she actually threw stuff at me today.
37:43 <steven> which was very annoying.
09:01 <Mekkis> Avatar, am I introverted or extroverted?
10:36 <Steven1> How much have you had to drink
10:50 <Mekkis> Nothing. For weeks now
17:42 <Avatar> extroverted
21:56 <Mekkis> really?

24:17 <Steven1> ah, well i couldnt do it every weekend.  sad pandas.
27:33 <Mekkis> Woot

30:58 <Steven1> darn dice bot is out of the room
31:50 <Steven1> anyways... i dont roll well when i make a character
32:48 <Xenaris> well it would be appreciated even just the 1 game
32:53 <Xenaris> so we have time to recruit
33:52 <Xenaris> its mainly to train the DM to DM
33:54 <Xenaris> so he says
38:05 <Xenaris> https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/14226/kasual-kingmaker if you are interested
39:44 <Steven1> oh kingmaker, i've played it.  not fair to people.
40:46 <Xenaris> how so?
41:03 <Steven1> I know the story.
41:19 <Xenaris> is it set in a forest?
41:52 <Steven1> some of it.
42:00 <Xenaris> ah shame then
48:04 <Xenaris> what does AP stand for?
49:06 <Steven1> adventure path
55:47 <Mekkis> Steven1, can I ask you about some PFS scenarios?
55:57 <Steven1> you can ask all ya want
56:54 <Mekkis> Returned to the Sky. Does it have the technologist BS in it?
02:24 <Steven1> It has the technic league in it.
04:19 <Mekkis> would a party without the technologist feat miss out on a bunch of stuff?
06:48 <Steven1> im not supposed to tell people stuff like that... however you can always go read the reviews if you want to know more details.
07:25 <Mekkis> seriously?
07:57 <Mekkis> I mean, so many people say "If you don't like dealing with the technologist rules, don't play the scenarios"
09:45 <Steven1> if you dont like technology stuff stay out of season 6.
09:59 <Steven1> if you dont like demon stuff stay out of season 5
10:02 <Mekkis> oh. great
10:18 <Mekkis> I thought only 30% or so of season 6 was tech stuff
11:01 <Steven1> if you want information that wont spoil things for the rest of the channel you can always message me privately... but if memory serves you jumped my shit because i spoiled pretty much the exact same things in this channel that you're asking me to do now.
14:59 <aidrocsid> winding path renegade or vanilla brawler?
15:05 <Brunius> yes
15:08 <Brunius`> Mekkis, this may interest you
15:11 <aidrocsid> lol
15:11 <Brunius`> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bpX8YvNg6Y
15:19 <aidrocsid> i mean they both look lovely
15:59 <aidrocsid> vanilla looks a little more versatile but burning people in grapples seems fun
16:07 <aidrocsid> also evasion
24:47 <Mekkis> Brunius`, possibly, but I don't have internet
25:04 <Brunius`> Ah, as evidenced by being on IRC
25:11 <Mekkis> Brunius`, you interested in a leatherworking course? There's a crowd down in Melbourne that does that kind of thing
25:20 <Brunius`> I think I saw something about that
25:39 <Mekkis> Ah, but I'm on wireless broadband - 2gb a month, then 6c/mb.
25:47 <Brunius`> oof
27:32 <Mekkis> so yeah... I'll get back to it when I get real internet
34:48 <Mekkis> So... Are you interested?
50:52 <aidrocsid1> ooohhhhh
11:13 <***> Buffer Playback...
11:13 <***> Playback Complete.
18:19 <Mekkis> I have about 35000gp for my summoner to spend. Any suggestions?
22:37 <Mekkis> Also, Steven, could you look over my sheet for correctness?
42:57 <Steven> that wouldnt be overly helpful, im rockin a migraine pretty hard today
43:56 <Mekkis> damn. Seems to happen quite a bit to you.
45:16 <Mekkis> !hp 1d10m2+9d8m3
45:17 <diebot> Mekkis, 84
50:30 <Steven> I get 2-3 migraines a week and usually a headache for the other days.  I have a headache/migraine free day bout once every month and a half.
52:07 <Mekkis> what causes it?
02:26 <Mekkis> Yay for Paizo's website glitching again :P
03:10 <Mekkis> Try this: GM a module, say Godsmouth Heresy. Give the first player you report 2PP, and the other two players 4PP. See how much GM PP you get.
04:30 * Steven shrug
05:40 <Mekkis> (answer is 2)
13:34 <Steven> thats what it has always been.
14:08 <Mekkis> but it's wrong, right?
14:16 <Steven> yeah, and they know it is.
14:50 <Mekkis> Also, the title of the Sessions List pages is "paizo.com - Order Checkout"
15:04 <Steven> lol
15:33 <Steven> im still waiting for 180 bucks to be put on my credit.
19:02 Brunius` has quit (Quit: Quuuuuuuuuuuuuuexiting now.)
21:04 <Steven> !rand yes no
21:08 <Steven> !rng yes no
21:09 <diebot> Steven, yes
21:22 <Steven> !rng alot alittle
21:22 <diebot> Steven, alittle
26:12 Brunius ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
31:11 <Avatar> lolz grappling u + not letting go
37:36 <Avatar> sounds like you wanted that first one to be no
38:50 <Steven> its backstory for a character.
38:58 <Steven> did someones parents love each other.
39:00 <Steven> yes or no
39:28 <Steven> answer yes, and then the gm asked if my parents were deeply in love or just making due.
40:21 <Steven> so yeah, they love each other but not soul mates.
40:48 <aidrocsid> i pickjed vanilla brawler :D
41:01 <aidrocsid> +11 to grapple lol
50:46 <Mekkis> Steven, what was the outcome of the slashing grace with two weapons ruling?
51:01 <Steven> the what huh?
51:09 <Steven> i dont remember anything bout that.
09:02 <aidrocsid> avatar, why, feint?
12:04 <Avatar> Steven: I think knowing about whether technologist is almost a requirement is a pretty big exception
12:11 <Avatar> considering its contraversy
20:48 <aidrocsid> what's wrong with technologist
28:48 <Avatar> is slashing grace swashbuckler-only now
35:39 <Steven> mekkis i dont think two weapon fighting works with slashing grace anymore since it says it doesnt work with two weapon fighting or flurry of blows.
43:18 <Avatar> do you play PFS
44:43 <aidrocsid> nah just home games
50:38 <Mekkis> Okay
53:07 <Mekkis> Looks like Unaipon will be taking three levels of unchained rogue
53:43 <Mekkis> or is there another way of getting dex to damage
04:10 <Steven> agile weapon quality.
05:10 <Mekkis> hmmm
05:37 <Mekkis> The character in question is currently Inquisitor of Achaekek 5.
05:52 <Mekkis> TWFing with sawtooth sabres, naturally
17:48 <Mekkis> http://1v1d1e1lmiki1lgcvx32p49h8fe.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/bishop-canning.jpg
30:45 <s_gmusic> With a grapple that high, you should also invest heavily in Bluff and play "I'm not touching you~!" even though you totally are.
35:06 <Steven> i dont think agile can be added to sawtooth sabres.
38:08 <Steven> i dont remember if effortless lace is legal. its in the giant hunter's handbook
39:09 <Steven> nope not legal
39:46 <Steven> darn
40:03 <Steven> would have let you make sawtooth sabre's a light weapon for 2500g each.
41:56 <aidrocsid1> enlarge for longer range summoning/murderous commands/whatever or counterspell for more utility?
54:13 <Mekkis> my sabres are light weapons
45:51 <aidrocsid1> stop hitting yourself stop hitting yourself
46:16 <aidrocsid1> it's either a +9 or +11 depending on my DM's interpertation of the Dan Bong
23:53 Gamera has quit (Quit: )
26:33 <Avatar> PFS can be played at home
26:54 <Avatar> I'd argue it is best played at home
27:29 <Avatar> technologist is shit because it's a feat tax that makes your knowledge skills worthless, and it's only useful for certain season 6 scenarios
27:46 <Avatar> not having the feat makes your knowledge skills worthless, should I say
53:34 <aidrocsid> in our high-tech campaign (which we're playing tomorrow :D) the DM decided that our knowledge skills act as if we had technologist
53:49 <aidrocsid> it seems like the baseline pathfinder tech stuff is meant to be kind of not huge in most games
53:51 <aidrocsid> just a little here and ther
54:11 <aidrocsid> that'd make technologist good but when it's ubiquitous it's kind of unnecessary
54:31 <aidrocsid> if there's a feat that every single person in your group needs to have something's probably funky lol
