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.

44:32 <Mekkis> "It stands a good chance." Captain Reynolds was surveying the scene through the bridge binoculars. "The blue dye limits penetration of the wavelengths of light required for photosynthesis, and so the algae starve to death. We used a technique much like this in World War Two as an anti-submarine weapon." He glanced sideways at Sophia.
44:33 <Mekkis> "How?"
44:33 <Mekkis> "Now, this ain't no ****. We sprayed blue paint on the surface of the sea. When the submarine put its periscope up, the paint covered the lens and the skipper thought he was still underwater. So he kept on going up and when he reached 150 feet in the air, we shot him down with the anti-aircraft guns."

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
27:38 <Alynn> still*
29:46 <Steven1> man, fell asleep with a migraine today, missed the paizocon call for Volunteers
29:58 <Alynn> ah
47:28 <Steven1> there we go, volunteered
47:34 <Steven1> HQ staff requested.
49:52 <Alynn> nice
57:57 <Steven1> awww man...  I'm watching my niece again today.
58:06 <Alynn> ah
58:16 <Steven1> she has been in a very musical mood lately pounding away on her toy piano
58:34 <Alynn> ah
58:44 <Steven1> I'm still in the middle of a migraine... not really looking forward to the rest of today.
59:29 <Alynn> *pats*
00:20 <Steven1> so... Mindblank+invisibility.
00:38 <Steven1> My 18th level caster makes use of it.
00:57 <Alynn> ah
01:14 <Steven1> wait... nevermind
01:17 <Steven1> i cant use it.
01:24 <Steven1> I have to read scrolls
01:31 <Alynn> ah
01:42 <Steven1> mindblank makes you immune to divination effects which see invisibility is.
02:11 <Alynn> nice
02:21 <Steven1> well not immune to diviniation, just divination based detection spells
02:27 <Alynn> ah
02:59 <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.
03:48 <Steven1> and we had a discussion where he tried to state that higher level spells should trump lower level spells
04:21 <Alynn> umm no that sounds like a good case of a gm being bitchy
04:29 <Steven1> oh it was increadibly bitchy
04:42 <Alynn> I have had my experiences like that
04:45 <Steven1> but i did stop him from killing people every time.
04:58 <Steven1> because its hard to kill somebody when you're suffocating.
05:12 <Steven1> Every Single Time.
05:13 <Alynn> one gm once played favorites and fixed my rolls
05:35 <Alynn> well fixed it and refused to let even a nat 20 to succeed
05:48 <Steven1> whatcha gonna do.
06:18 <Alynn> I quit the game and fucked up te game by doing so lol
06:34 <Steven1> well... thats one thing you could do
06:36 <Alynn> he decided to have my character abucted with out consulting me
06:53 <Alynn> had an enemy caster have an op dominate mind
07:25 <Alynn> and he basically ignored the whole elven immunities to charm effects
09:00 <Alynn> but regardless I got out of that gm's clutches and went onto better gms
09:23 <Alynn> one thing that does miff me is most gms are not exactly lgbt friendly
10:26 * Steven1 shrugs
10:53 <Alynn> oh well it happens lol
11:22 <Steven1> that it does
12:15 <Alynn> yep
13:18 <Steven1> one of my favorite stories to tell people
13:26 <Steven1> Destiny of Sands p1
13:30 <Alynn> lol
13:38 <Steven1> basically a sandbox
13:45 <Steven1> where you're given some tasks and you gotta do em
13:47 <Alynn> ah
14:31 <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
15:22 <Alynn> hrmm?
15:46 <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
16:36 <Alynn> ah
16:44 <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
16:58 <Alynn> nice XD
17:07 <Steven1> and me being the GM my entire job is to throw monkey wrenches
17:17 <Alynn> lol
17:41 <Steven1> so im like... okay, the guard captain puts up his hands... "Wait frend... I'm gay."
17:59 <Steven1> the entire plan comes to a screaching halt.
18:01 <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
18:39 <Alynn> my character earned the nickname sparkle elf in that game
18:52 <Alynn> cause I liked to use Glitterdust alot
19:21 <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.
19:40 <Alynn> oh dear god
20:07 <Steven1> yeah... the rest of the group was like... well i walk away from the area.
20:24 <Alynn> clearly the player has issues
20:28 <Steven1> but just... wow.
20:32 <Alynn> agreed
21:15 <Steven1> like you can have your social/religious beliefs, but you shouldnt shout them out in the middle of a convention.
21:28 <Alynn> agreed
21:55 <Alynn> I would love to see him do that in the so called Diversity Lounge at Pax Aus 
22:22 <Steven1> I've played with that gentleman twice now.
22:40 <Alynn> persoanlly I would punish behaviour like that game in game as a gm by doing shit to his character
22:53 <Alynn> like having him introduced to an incubus lol
23:12 <Steven1> and i dont think he take hints very well at all
23:19 <Alynn> lol
23:37 <Steven1> but his character was arrested for inciting a brawl.
23:41 <Steven1> had to spend a day in jail.
23:46 <Alynn> ah
24:00 <Alynn> I prefer to play smart characters
24:08 <Steven1> cant really punish people too much in PFS
24:10 <mib_a2zat5> hello
