00:40:53 <Brunius`> and here I am stuck with a 760 like a scrub
01:05:56 <Mekkis> Brunius`, you should come to canberra over the labour day weekend.
01:05:58 <Mekkis> There's a con on
01:06:26 <Brunius`> when's labour day again? may?
01:13:24 <Steven1> google man
01:15:50 Steven1 has quit (Quit: Nettalk6 - www.ntalk.de)
01:34:20 <Brunius`> looks like here it's march 14th and there it's october 3th?
02:33:05 <Avatar> I'm free to do whatever I want to do until monday too, woohoo
02:52:54 <Avatar> like install a new video card
05:25:49 <Mekkis> Avatar, what card?
05:49:46 <Avatar> gtx 970
05:50:00 <Avatar> a replacement card for a faulty one I got two weeks ago
06:43:07 <Mekkis> 970. Good card.
06:43:16 <Mekkis> It's what I have.
07:26:22 <Mekkis> http://www.tboverse.us/HPCAFORUM/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=21774&sid=4eca6ccf09fa57fb64b3512d7b1945ce#p21774
07:44:32 <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.
07:44:33 <Mekkis> "How?"
07:44:33 <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."
08:57:22 <Mekkis> March 14
08:57:34 <Mekkis> Your labour day. My Canberra day
09:09:21 <Alynn> now all spell lists in the game are Modern Spellcaster spell lists
09:09:36 <Steven1> activate magic items blindly
09:09:50 <Alynn> hrmm?
09:10:17 <Steven1> you saw a guy use a wand, you didnt identify the spell as it was being cast
09:10:25 <Steven1> you killed the guy, picked up the wand
09:10:34 <Steven1> tried to identify it and fail
09:10:54 <Alynn> ah but I think one can use spellcraft for that I think
09:11:11 <Steven1> now you know when he activated the wand a fireball erupted from the end of it
09:11:33 <Alynn> boiling ball in the case of the game I am in XD
09:11:51 <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.
09:11:58 <Steven1> you can force it to work with UMD.
09:12:08 <Mekkis> I use it on other random items too
09:12:23 <Mekkis> Strange magical artifact that Does Something? UMD it!
09:12:29 <Steven1> Yup
09:12:43 <Alynn> *nods* well I would rather use my characters high knowledge skills to identify it lol
09:13:03 <Steven1> sometimes you fail those.
09:13:11 <Alynn> true
09:13:11 <Steven1> its just a good skill.
09:13:37 <Alynn> I don't exactly pla to focus on magic items like wands though
09:13:39 <Alynn> plan*
09:14:04 <Alynn> and I don't have free skill points and I want all the skills I have x_x
09:14:40 <Steven1> once you get to where you're rolling with a +15-20 in any skill... you can probably diversify a bit.
09:14:52 <Alynn> ah
09:15:06 <Alynn> I am mostly aiming for a nuker
09:15:18 <Alynn> with some back up healing and support spells
09:17:14 <Steven1> my character is a support character.
09:17:17 <Steven1> all the support.
09:17:36 <Alynn> fun so cleric?
09:18:44 <Steven1> yeah
09:19:06 <Alynn> fun
09:19:54 <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
09:20:06 <Steven1> a flying, constantly invisible never makes sound casting spells or scrolls cleric.
09:20:18 <Alynn> nice
09:21:29 <Steven1> he also makes people reroll crits.
09:21:36 <Alynn> nice XD
09:21:48 <Steven1> divine interference pretty strong.
09:22:16 <Alynn> that is awesome
09:22:33 <Alynn> we need a focused healer for the cerulean seas game that is starting up
09:22:46 <Steven1> yeah, this character really isnt a healer
09:23:04 <Alynn> we have not started lol
09:27:34 <Alynn> stil doing chargen
09:27:38 <Alynn> still*
09:29:46 <Steven1> man, fell asleep with a migraine today, missed the paizocon call for Volunteers
09:29:58 <Alynn> ah
09:47:28 <Steven1> there we go, volunteered
09:47:34 <Steven1> HQ staff requested.
09:49:52 <Alynn> nice
09:57:57 <Steven1> awww man... I'm watching my niece again today.
09:58:06 <Alynn> ah
09:58:16 <Steven1> she has been in a very musical mood lately pounding away on her toy piano
09:58:34 <Alynn> ah
09:58:44 <Steven1> I'm still in the middle of a migraine... not really looking forward to the rest of today.
09:59:29 <Alynn> *pats*
10:00:20 <Steven1> so... Mindblank+invisibility.
10:00:38 <Steven1> My 18th level caster makes use of it.
10:00:57 <Alynn> ah
10:01:14 <Steven1> wait... nevermind
10:01:17 <Steven1> i cant use it.
10:01:24 <Steven1> I have to read scrolls
10:01:31 <Alynn> ah
10:01:42 <Steven1> mindblank makes you immune to divination effects which see invisibility is.
10:02:11 <Alynn> nice
10:02:21 <Steven1> well not immune to diviniation, just divination based detection spells
10:02:27 <Alynn> ah
10:02:59 <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.
10:03:48 <Steven1> and we had a discussion where he tried to state that higher level spells should trump lower level spells
10:04:21 <Alynn> umm no that sounds like a good case of a gm being bitchy
10:04:29 <Steven1> oh it was increadibly bitchy
10:04:42 <Alynn> I have had my experiences like that
10:04:45 <Steven1> but i did stop him from killing people every time.
10:04:58 <Steven1> because its hard to kill somebody when you're suffocating.
10:05:12 <Steven1> Every Single Time.
10:05:13 <Alynn> one gm once played favorites and fixed my rolls
10:05:35 <Alynn> well fixed it and refused to let even a nat 20 to succeed
10:05:48 <Steven1> whatcha gonna do.
10:06:10 <Brunius`> and here I am stuck with a 760 like a scrub
10:06:18 <Alynn> I quit the game and fucked up te game by doing so lol
10:06:34 <Steven1> well... thats one thing you could do
10:06:36 <Alynn> he decided to have my character abucted with out consulting me
10:06:53 <Alynn> had an enemy caster have an op dominate mind
10:07:25 <Alynn> and he basically ignored the whole elven immunities to charm effects
10:09:00 <Alynn> but regardless I got out of that gm's clutches and went onto better gms
10:09:23 <Alynn> one thing that does miff me is most gms are not exactly lgbt friendly
10:10:26 * Steven1 shrugs
10:10:53 <Alynn> oh well it happens lol
10:11:22 <Steven1> that it does
10:12:15 <Alynn> yep
10:13:18 <Steven1> one of my favorite stories to tell people
10:13:26 <Steven1> Destiny of Sands p1
10:13:30 <Alynn> lol
10:13:38 <Steven1> basically a sandbox
10:13:45 <Steven1> where you're given some tasks and you gotta do em
10:13:47 <Alynn> ah
10:14:31 <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
10:15:22 <Alynn> hrmm?
10:15:46 <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
10:15:52 <Avatar> Brunius`: not owning a $500 card isn't really being a scrub
10:16:10 <Avatar> I only shelled out for it because I crave that sweet sweet 60fps
10:16:36 <Alynn> ah
10:16:37 <Avatar> my r9 270 was only a year old before replacing it :|
10:16:44 <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
10:16:58 <Alynn> nice XD
10:17:07 <Steven1> and me being the GM my entire job is to throw monkey wrenches
10:17:17 <Alynn> lol
10:17:41 <Steven1> so im like... okay, the guard captain puts up his hands... "Wait frend... I'm gay."
10:17:59 <Steven1> the entire plan comes to a screaching halt.
10:18:01 <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
10:18:39 <Alynn> my character earned the nickname sparkle elf in that game
10:18:52 <Alynn> cause I liked to use Glitterdust alot
10:19:21 <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.
10:19:40 <Alynn> oh dear god
10:20:07 <Steven1> yeah... the rest of the group was like... well i walk away from the area.
10:20:24 <Alynn> clearly the player has issues
10:20:28 <Steven1> but just... wow.
10:20:32 <Alynn> agreed
10:21:15 <Steven1> like you can have your social/religious beliefs, but you shouldnt shout them out in the middle of a convention.
10:21:28 <Alynn> agreed
10:21:55 <Alynn> I would love to see him do that in the so called Diversity Lounge at Pax Aus
10:22:22 <Steven1> I've played with that gentleman twice now.
10:22:40 <Alynn> persoanlly I would punish behaviour like that game in game as a gm by doing shit to his character
10:22:53 <Alynn> like having him introduced to an incubus lol
10:23:12 <Steven1> and i dont think he take hints very well at all
10:23:19 <Alynn> lol
10:23:37 <Steven1> but his character was arrested for inciting a brawl.
10:23:41 <Steven1> had to spend a day in jail.
10:23:46 <Alynn> ah
10:24:00 <Alynn> I prefer to play smart characters
10:24:08 <Steven1> cant really punish people too much in PFS
10:24:10 <mib_a2zat5> hello
10:24:16 <Steven1> hey mib
10:24:25 <Steven1> you can change your name with /name <whatever you want>
10:24:56 <Alynn> well I once threatened to drop a terrasque on players if they misbehaved XD
10:25:07 <Alynn> when I tried gming a 3.5 game
10:25:11 <mib_a2zat5> sorry, have an error in chaging my name
10:25:16 <mib_a2zat5> just call me mib
10:25:16 <mib_a2zat5> ^^
10:25:32 <mib_a2zat5> uhmm..... this is my first time in d&d game
10:25:32 <Steven1> sorry... i'm having a migraine... im not thinking clearly
10:25:37 <Steven1> dont use the <> signs
10:25:42 <mib_a2zat5> oh
10:25:49 <Steven1> just /nick whatever
10:25:58 <Alynn> yep
10:26:03 <shuushuu> ok thanks ^^
10:26:31 <shuushuu> i only know a little about this game, like character and campaign and roll system...
10:26:36 <Steven1> I have been having problems making any character with less then 14int lately
10:26:55 <shuushuu> so hope you all help me a little more, please ^^
10:27:04 <Alynn> I play mostly caster based characters that need int
10:27:18 <shuushuu> so.... who is GM here?
10:27:33 <Steven1> if you have questions we're pretty much always up for answering them so long as we are here.
10:27:34 <Alynn> no games are actually ran in here
10:27:39 <Alynn> as far as I know
10:27:46 <shuushuu> ohhh
10:27:47 <Steven1> Mostly use roll20 these days.
10:28:02 <Steven1> this is more of a room for shootin the shit as it were
10:28:14 <Alynn> more like discussion
10:28:15 <shuushuu> yeah but roll20 have their own time, and it doesnot suit with my time
10:28:17 <shuushuu> ^^
10:29:04 <shuushuu> im still finding a play-by-chat d&d site
10:29:33 <Alynn> there are irc sites around and this channel is primarly focused on pathfinder I think
10:30:09 <Alynn> irc channels
10:31:05 <Alynn> but regardless I don't think I will be of much help as I mostly play in free form rps these days
10:31:06 <shuushuu> tks u ^^
