02:22 <Alynn> stil doing chargen
02:26 <Alynn> still*
04:34 <Steven1> man, fell asleep with a migraine today, missed the paizocon call for Volunteers
04:45 <Alynn> ah
22:17 <Steven1> there we go, volunteered
22:22 <Steven1> HQ staff requested.
24:40 <Alynn> nice
32:45 <Steven1> awww man...  I'm watching my niece again today.
32:53 <Alynn> ah
33:04 <Steven1> she has been in a very musical mood lately pounding away on her toy piano
33:22 <Alynn> ah
33:32 <Steven1> I'm still in the middle of a migraine... not really looking forward to the rest of today.
34:17 <Alynn> *pats*
35:08 <Steven1> so... Mindblank+invisibility.
35:26 <Steven1> My 18th level caster makes use of it.
35:45 <Alynn> ah
36:02 <Steven1> wait... nevermind
36:05 <Steven1> i cant use it.
36:11 <Steven1> I have to read scrolls
36:18 <Alynn> ah
36:30 <Steven1> mindblank makes you immune to divination effects which see invisibility is.
36:58 <Alynn> nice
37:09 <Steven1> well not immune to diviniation, just divination based detection spells
37:15 <Alynn> ah
37:46 <Steven1> The last GM got really pissed because he had true seeing up and tried to target me with a spell and i was like... cant do it.
38:36 <Steven1> and we had a discussion where he tried to state that higher level spells should trump lower level spells
39:09 <Alynn> umm no that sounds like a good case of a gm being bitchy
39:17 <Steven1> oh it was increadibly bitchy
39:30 <Alynn> I have had my experiences like that
39:33 <Steven1> but i did stop him from killing people every time.
39:46 <Steven1> because its hard to kill somebody when you're suffocating.
39:59 <Steven1> Every Single Time.
40:01 <Alynn> one gm once played favorites and fixed my rolls
40:23 <Alynn> well fixed it and refused to let even a nat 20 to succeed
40:35 <Steven1> whatcha gonna do.
41:06 <Alynn> I quit the game and fucked up te game by doing so lol
41:22 <Steven1> well... thats one thing you could do
41:24 <Alynn> he decided to have my character abucted with out consulting me
41:41 <Alynn> had an enemy caster have an op dominate mind
42:13 <Alynn> and he basically ignored the whole elven immunities to charm effects
43:48 <Alynn> but regardless I got out of that gm's clutches and went onto better gms
44:11 <Alynn> one thing that does miff me is most gms are not exactly lgbt friendly
45:14 * Steven1 shrugs
45:41 <Alynn> oh well it happens lol
46:09 <Steven1> that it does
47:02 <Alynn> yep
48:06 <Steven1> one of my favorite stories to tell people
48:13 <Steven1> Destiny of Sands p1
48:18 <Alynn> lol
48:26 <Steven1> basically a sandbox
48:33 <Steven1> where you're given some tasks and you gotta do em
48:35 <Alynn> ah
49:19 <Steven1> and one of them is sneaking a scrying focus into a persons personal belongings as they are packing up to go on a caravan
50:10 <Alynn> hrmm?
50:34 <Steven1> and im GMing, party comes up with a very elaborate plan to start a fistfight with guard captain to cause a distraction while the rogue sneaks the focus into the guys belongings
51:24 <Alynn> ah
51:32 <Steven1> so the big dumb mook of a fighter walks into the caravan, shoves the guard captain and starts shouting about how the captain has been sleeping with the fighters wife
51:46 <Alynn> nice XD
51:55 <Steven1> and me being the GM my entire job is to throw monkey wrenches
52:05 <Alynn> lol
52:29 <Steven1> so im like... okay, the guard captain puts up his hands... "Wait frend... I'm gay."
52:47 <Steven1> the entire plan comes to a screaching halt.
52:49 <Alynn> I remember once when I joined a game the other players ignored my character and I ended up wandering away with the plot in hand XD
53:27 <Alynn> my character earned the nickname sparkle elf in that game
53:39 <Alynn> cause I liked to use Glitterdust alot
54:09 <Steven1> and the player with the fighter scratches his head for a few seconds, and then entirely too loudly preclaims "Faggot!" and punches the guard captain.  Middle of Paizocon.
54:28 <Alynn> oh dear god
54:55 <Steven1> yeah... the rest of the group was like... well i walk away from the area.
55:12 <Alynn> clearly the player has issues
55:16 <Steven1> but just... wow.
55:20 <Alynn> agreed
56:03 <Steven1> like you can have your social/religious beliefs, but you shouldnt shout them out in the middle of a convention.
56:16 <Alynn> agreed
56:43 <Alynn> I would love to see him do that in the so called Diversity Lounge at Pax Aus 
57:10 <Steven1> I've played with that gentleman twice now.
57:28 <Alynn> persoanlly I would punish behaviour like that game in game as a gm by doing shit to his character
57:41 <Alynn> like having him introduced to an incubus lol
58:00 <Steven1> and i dont think he take hints very well at all
58:07 <Alynn> lol
58:24 <Steven1> but his character was arrested for inciting a brawl.
58:29 <Steven1> had to spend a day in jail.
58:34 <Alynn> ah
58:41 mib_a2zat5 ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
58:48 <Alynn> I prefer to play smart characters
58:56 <Steven1> cant really punish people too much in PFS
58:57 <mib_a2zat5> hello
59:03 <Steven1> hey mib
59:13 <Steven1> you can change your name with /name <whatever you want>
59:44 <Alynn> well I once threatened to drop a terrasque on players if they misbehaved XD
59:55 <Alynn> when I tried gming a 3.5 game
59:58 <mib_a2zat5> sorry, have an error in chaging my name
00:03 <mib_a2zat5> just call me mib
00:04 <mib_a2zat5> ^^
00:20 <mib_a2zat5> uhmm..... this is my first time in d&d game
00:20 <Steven1> sorry... i'm having a migraine... im not thinking clearly
00:25 <Steven1> dont use the <> signs
00:30 <mib_a2zat5> oh
00:37 <Steven1> just /nick whatever
00:45 mib_a2zat5 is now known as shuushuu
00:45 <Alynn> yep
00:51 <shuushuu> ok thanks ^^
01:19 <shuushuu> i only know a little about this game, like character and campaign and roll system...
01:23 <Steven1> I have been having problems making any character with less then 14int lately
01:43 <shuushuu> so hope you all help me a little more, please ^^
01:52 <Alynn> I play mostly caster based characters that need int
02:06 <shuushuu> so.... who is GM here?
02:20 <Steven1> if you have questions we're pretty much always up for answering them so long as we are here.
02:22 <Alynn> no games are actually ran in here
02:27 <Alynn> as far as I know
02:34 <shuushuu> ohhh
02:35 <Steven1> Mostly use roll20 these days.
02:50 <Steven1> this is more of a room for shootin the shit as it were
03:02 <Alynn> more like discussion
03:03 <shuushuu> yeah but roll20 have their own time, and it doesnot suit with my time
03:04 <shuushuu> ^^
03:52 <shuushuu> im still finding a play-by-chat d&d site
04:21 <Alynn> there are irc sites around and this channel is primarly focused on pathfinder I think
04:57 <Alynn> irc channels
05:53 <Alynn> but regardless I don't think I will be of much help as I mostly play in free form rps these days
05:53 <shuushuu> tks u ^^
07:51 <Alynn> yw
08:02 <Alynn> just hoping my hoster gets back to me soon
08:25 shuushuu has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
08:42 <Alynn> and there he goes
08:53 <Alynn> I think he was looking for a game to jump into
08:54 <Steven1> yup
09:11 <Alynn> oh well X3
09:21 <Steven1> i went to use the restroom or i would have pointed him at the google group
09:36 <Alynn> *nods*
09:53 <Alynn> its not like I can direct him to my skype group
09:59 <Alynn> I think we are full
23:39 <Steven1> 1hr till my niece arrives.
26:15 jasper has quit (Ping timeout: 130 seconds)
34:08 Alynn has quit (Quit: Beware of programmers who carry screwdrivers.)
04:33 <Steven1> hmmm
04:44 <Steven1> think im going to get a scroll of Power Word Stun
57:29 <diebot> Mekkis, BRACERS OF FALCON'S AIM [faint transmutation] CL:3 wrists 4000gp, 1lb
57:30 <diebot> Each of these crimson leather bracers is emblazoned with the image of a soaring golden falcon scanning the ground for easy prey. They continually grant the wearer the benefits of the aspect of the falcon spell, though without the spell's physical transformation. Source: Ultimate Equipment
57:40 <Mekkis> !spell aspect of the falcon
57:40 <diebot> Mekkis, ASPECT OF THE FALCON transmutation (polymorph[]) druid 1, ranger 1 1 standard action Range: personal you Comp: V, S, DF Duration: 1 minute/level Save:  SR:Source: APG
57:41 <diebot> You take on an aspect of a falcon. Your eyes become wide and raptor-like, and you grow feathers on the sides of your head. You gain a +3 competence bonus on Perception checks, a +1 competence bonus on ranged attacks, and the critical multiplier for your bows and crossbows becomes 19-20/x3. This effect does not stack with any other effect that
57:41 <diebot> expands the threat range of a weapon, such as the Improved Critical feat or a keen weapon.
37:23 <Steven1> hey peoples
37:38 <Alynn> hello
39:39 <Steven1> buying 70k of scrolls.
39:49 <Steven1> for one of my characters.
49:47 <Steven1> Pathfinder savant.
50:12 <Steven1> use your CL for scrolls you cast
00:38 <Alynn> fun
01:03 <Alynn> I am playing a Modern Spellcaster in an upcoming pathfinder game
02:08 <Steven1> nice
02:29 <Alynn> is was the best option for my character idea
02:47 <Alynn> wanted a character that could cast arcane and divine magic so to speak
05:00 <Steven1> hmmm... i've found about 20k in scrolls i want to buy
05:22 <Alynn> fun
06:09 <Steven1> suppose i could buy some magical items
07:33 <Steven1> get my strength up to 10 if i buy a belt.
07:37 <Alynn> one of the guys in the groups keeps telling me to put ranks in UMD
07:46 <Alynn> group*
07:54 <Steven1> it is a very useful skill
08:14 <Alynn> its a dump skill for my Modern Spellcaster
08:24 <Steven1> the character im buyin all the scrolls for has a +28 UMD
08:30 <Steven1> and can always take 10
08:41 <Alynn> as the point of having it is to use it to cast spells outside of your own spell list
09:01 <Steven1> or force items to work for you even when they shouldnt
09:21 <Alynn> now all spell lists in the game are Modern Spellcaster spell lists
09:36 <Steven1> activate magic items blindly
09:50 <Alynn> hrmm?
10:17 <Steven1> you saw a guy use a wand, you didnt identify the spell as it was being cast
10:25 <Steven1> you killed the guy, picked up the wand
10:34 <Steven1> tried to identify it and fail
10:54 <Alynn> ah but I think one can use spellcraft for that I think
11:11 <Steven1> now you know when he activated the wand a fireball erupted from the end of it
11:33 <Alynn> boiling ball in the case of the game I am in XD
11:51 <Steven1> now even though you dont know what the spell was when it was being cast and you dont know what the item actually oes.
11:58 <Steven1> you can force it to work with UMD.
12:08 <Mekkis> I use it on other random items too
12:23 <Mekkis> Strange magical artifact that Does Something? UMD it!
12:29 <Steven1> Yup
12:43 <Alynn> *nods* well I would rather use my characters high knowledge skills to identify it lol
13:03 <Steven1> sometimes you fail those.
13:11 <Alynn> true
13:11 <Steven1> its just a good skill.
13:37 <Alynn> I don't exactly pla to focus on magic items like wands though
13:39 <Alynn> plan*
14:04 <Alynn> and I don't have free skill points and I want all the skills I have x_x
14:40 <Steven1> once you get to where you're rolling with a +15-20 in any skill... you can probably diversify a bit.
14:52 <Alynn> ah
15:06 <Alynn> I am mostly aiming for a nuker
15:18 <Alynn> with some back up healing and support spells
17:14 <Steven1> my character is a support character.
17:17 <Steven1> all the support.
17:36 <Alynn> fun so cleric?
18:44 <Steven1> yeah
19:06 <Alynn> fun
19:54 <Alynn> I originally was aiming for an Archivist eg the int based divine caster from 3.5 but my best friend who is the gm is beng strict on it
20:06 <Steven1> a flying, constantly invisible never makes sound casting spells or scrolls cleric.
20:18 <Alynn> nice
21:29 <Steven1> he also makes people reroll crits.
21:36 <Alynn> nice XD
21:48 <Steven1> divine interference pretty strong.
22:16 <Alynn> that is awesome
22:33 <Alynn> we need a focused healer for the cerulean seas game that is starting up
22:46 <Steven1> yeah, this character really isnt a healer
23:04 <Alynn> we have not started lol
27:34 <Alynn> stil doing chargen
