00:42 <Mekkis> and he won't chip in for any of his mates
09:28 <Avatar> oops
09:35 <Avatar> that could be seen as a jerk move
09:37 <Avatar> dilemma
09:50 <Avatar> in fact it almost certainly would be
09:56 <Avatar> "that's what my character would do!"
09:57 <Mekkis> why?
10:10 <Avatar> it's textbook jerk rule
10:36 <Mekkis> it's my religion!
10:58 <Avatar> "it's what my character would do!"
11:02 <Avatar> you jerk
19:08 <monk> :o
19:15 <monk> just a me monk
21:12 <Mekkis> refusing to provide aid is not pvp
33:22 <Avatar> we're talking about the jerk rule, not the pvp rule
33:32 <Avatar> do you not know what I'm talking about
45:12 <Mekkis> there isn't really an obligation to chip in for a raise
48:39 <Avatar> there kind of is
51:57 <Mekkis> !spell mass pain strike
52:11 <diebot> Mekkis, PAIN STRIKE evocation ([evil, pain]) sorcerer/wizard 3, witch 3, bloodrager 3 1 standard action Range: close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) one living creature Comp: V, S Duration: 1 round/level (D) Save: Fortitude negates SR:yesSource: APG
52:11 <diebot> Pain strike racks the targeted creature with agony, inflicting 1d6 points of nonlethal damage per round for 1 round per level (maximum 10 rounds). Additionally, the affected creature is sickened for the spell's duration, and the caster gains a +4 circumstance bonus on Intimidate checks against the target.
52:22 <Mekkis> !spell pain strike, mass
52:23 <diebot> Mekkis, PAIN STRIKE, MASS evocation ([evil, pain]) sorcerer/wizard 5, witch 5 1 standard action Range: close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) one living creature/level, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart Comp: V, S Duration: 1 round/level (D) Save: Fortitude negates SR:yesSource: APG
52:24 <diebot> This spell works like pain strike, except as noted above.
02:34 <Steven1> well today has dragged on.
26:09 <Steven1> I think it would count as a jerk move if you accept healing from wands and what not that you dont own without telling people ahead of time that you wont contribute to raise deads due to your characters religious beliefs.
26:45 <Steven1> like if you make it known upfront, then nobody can call you on being a jerk.
27:24 <Steven1> then any resources spent on you are known to not be repayed in worst case scenarios of death.
27:56 <Steven1> also, im back from the weekend of gaming.
28:14 <Steven1> We knocked out the last part of mummy's mask in a single 9 hour session.
28:43 <Steven1> taking down the big bad dude.
29:35 <Steven1> The last fight took 4 hours.
31:23 <Steven1> A single Caster vs an early access Mystic Theurge, Barbarian, Mounted Barbarian, Druid, Time Oracle, Conjuration Wizard, Sorcerer.
31:49 <Steven1> Fight was 26 rounds long.
32:17 <Steven1> wizard with 44 AC and a slew of buffs.
32:23 <Steven1> errrrr.... sorc even
32:36 <Steven1> Heavily modified.
34:29 <Steven1> Sorc 20/MR10
35:14 <Steven1> I built him without any of the super douchy mythic tier abilities.  I just needed him to have more HP and have access to more powerful spells.
35:30 <Steven1> to get his AC higher.
38:51 <Steven1> I also came across my new favorite spell for high AC wizards.
39:01 <Steven1> !spell Deflection
39:01 <diebot> Steven1, DEFLECTION abjuration ([force]) sorcerer/wizard 7 1 standard action Range: personal you Comp: V, S, M (a piece of rubber dipped in glue) Duration: 1 round/level Save:  SR:Source: APG
39:02 <diebot> You surround yourself in a whirling barrier of force that sends any attack that misses you hurling back toward its source. This applies to any melee or ranged attack directed against you so long as it uses an attack roll to determine whether or not it strikes you. If an attack misses you, the attacker must make a second attack roll against its own
39:02 <diebot> Armor Class, using all of the applicable modifiers of the original attack and if it hits, the attacker takes the attack's damage and suffers all the other consequences of getting struck with that attack. You cannot deflect attacks that miss you for any reason besides a failed attack roll (such as concealment). Similarly, you cannot deflect attacks
39:02 <diebot> that actually do strike you but simply fail to do any harm.
44:52 <Steven1> which is fantastic
46:10 <Steven1> My character ahtuz usually sits at 17AC but can get up to 50

52:01 monk ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
10:28 <Mekkis> Avatar, maximised dazing fireball? Why?
13:43 <Avatar> you ladies like pie?
21:36 <Avatar> do you have a dodgy isp
29:12 <Brunius> me like pie
34:01 <Avatar> pie pie pie pie pie pie pie.
36:42 <Avatar> why not
51:44 <Proquar> dodgy app, i think
19:47 <Mekkis> !spell pilfering hand
19:53 <diebot> Mekkis, PILFERING HAND evocation ([force]) bard 2, cleric/oracle 2, magus 2, sorcerer/wizard 2 1 standard action Range: close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) one object Comp: S Duration: see text Save: none SR:yes (object)Source: Ultimate Combat
19:53 <diebot> The description is too long to send over IRC. View http://nl.ti4200.info/vpsirc/spells/pilfering_hand.html
31:13 <Steven1> so what up
31:26 <Mekkis> it doesn't do much
31:31 <Mekkis> I am tired
32:07 <Steven1> get some coffee
32:19 <Steven1> or go take a nap
34:35 <Avatar> stop using a mac
34:39 <Avatar> dodgy os
42:51 <Mekkis> Proquar, how did you convince Avatar that you wouldn't take bribes to let corporations off the hook?
45:52 <Steven1> module group im in decided we're going to play p6 of giantslayer
52:33 <Proquar> Did I?
52:49 <Mekkis> Did she, Avatar?
53:05 <Mekkis> hm
56:12 <Proquar> I mean, I wouldn't  :)
56:17 <Proquar> but it's all academic now
57:03 <Steven1> suppose that means i should figure out what character to play
01:42 <Avatar> I wouldn't suspect proquar
01:45 <Avatar> I would suspect you
02:00 <Mekkis> why?
02:54 <Avatar> seems like something you might do
03:04 <Avatar> given the right reasons
03:20 <Avatar> you're known for a bit of rules lawyering to make it seem like it might work out
08:39 <Avatar> my character usually has a normal AC but can get enough to be a munchkin
09:04 <Mekkis> :(
13:24 <Avatar> this is new
13:32 <Avatar> usually you would be rolling up a new character for it
14:09 <Mekkis> Just for that, I'll sell you out to Monsanto
14:15 <Mekkis> :P
17:54 <Brunius> Thanks a LOT, Avatar
17:57 <Brunius> You've doomed us all!
18:07 <Mekkis> Don't worry Brunius, I won't see you out
18:15 <Steven1> nah man its part 6.
18:23 <Mekkis> I mean, I won't see you out to Monsanto
18:27 <Mekkis> I mean, I won't sell you out to Monsanto
27:32 <Mekkis> monk, are you wrothmonk?
31:13 <Steven1> gotta play it with a 15-17
36:51 <Avatar> doesn't sound like a reason to not roll up a new character
36:58 <Avatar> I mean hey! why not?
37:10 <Avatar> what is monsanto
38:45 <Steven1> cause i dont need a new one.
52:02 <Avatar> that's never stopped you before
52:13 <Avatar> how many characters do you have again
24:49 <Mekkis> Avatar, run something
26:33 <Mekkis> I've always wanted to get use out of pilfering hand
26:42 <Mekkis> seems like such a fun spell
31:11 <Avatar> you run something
32:16 <Brunius> I'm running something.
32:25 <Brunius> You stand on a mountainside. You can hear distant rumbling.
33:27 <Brunius> Who/what are you, and what do you do?
34:00 <Proquar> The sort of company that'll buy anything that'll make them a profit - especially if it destroys the world
34:05 <Proquar> almost worse than Disney
34:21 <Mekkis> Steven1, I can't believe that they're still talking about the bird ring
38:13 <Mekkis> I mount my mighty steed, take to the skies, and look down at the mountain
40:42 <Brunius> The mountain is on the smallish side, lightly forested along the eastern side but largely barren otherwise. You can see a cluster of dark clouds towards the north, and a smattering of rain issuing forth from their undersides.
42:04 <Mekkis> Any obvious reason why the rumbling? Is it a *thunderous* rumbling?
42:25 <Brunius> It is indeed a thunderous rumbling. As you watch, a bolt of lightning arcs downwards.
42:56 <Mekkis> Are there any towns to the south?
43:32 <Brunius> There are a few thin columns of smoke in the hills to the south, but no major towns in sight.
43:59 <Mekkis> What about east or west?
44:40 <Mekkis> If there is, I'll want to head inside.
45:43 <Brunius> The east is largely plains, with a few weak streams making themselves visible by changes in the greenery. A large river flows towards the west, with a port at it's terminus - perhaps an hours flight away.
46:30 <Mekkis> Hmm... Too far. I'll try and find an overhang, and hunker up and wait out the storm
47:57 <Brunius> After a few minutes effort, you locate an opening in the mountainside - not much, but with the rate the storm is moving, it might be the best you'll find.
48:43 <Mekkis> Seems good, I'll dismount and head inside]
51:08 <Mekkis> Probably pull out a torch to light up the place.
54:59 <Brunius> The cave is about 30 feet deep, with the long-cold ashes of a campfire near the entrance. A few scraps of discarded parchment are scattered within, blown about by the growing wind
55:44 <Mekkis> Wide enough I guess. I'll lead my steed in, and start removing the saddle.
58:19 <Mekkis> After that, I'll grab a bottle and drink some, then recline against the rear wall
00:41 <Brunius> The wind picks up over the course of about an hour, then the rain begins falling. Between gusts, you can hear a distant shouting, and the crash of steel against steel
01:14 <Mekkis> I'll pull out my smartphone to check the progress of the storm.
03:18 <Brunius> Signals seems pretty poor in the cave, but the rain radar says it should pass in about 20 minutes
03:47 <Mekkis> Relax, check my email, see how Trump's doing
04:44 <Brunius> Shockingly, Trump has won the Republican nomination. It seems nothing can stand between ol' Donald and the presidency.
05:54 <Mekkis> Swear a bit, then look outside to see what the noise is
07:09 <Brunius> It seems someone has crashed their flightcycle into the mountainside, and is trying to hammer it back into shape in the hope that will restore functionality.
08:11 <Mekkis> I'll yell, "Hey, bring that hunk of track in here and we'll look at it. The weather's shit, ain't it".
12:42 <Brunius> He looks at you in surprise, and yells "Sure is" before starting to drag on his 'cycle
13:04 <Brunius> After a few moments of puffing exertion, you're inside
13:18 <Mekkis> I'll calm my mount, as he enters, "easy...."
13:30 <Mekkis> "What brings you to this area of the Rockies?
19:29 <Brunius> "Exploring, y'know. Just me, the 'cycle, and nature. Nothin' quite like it." he puffs, starting to prod at his 'cycle again
19:59 <Mekkis> I'll look it over to see it there's anything obviously wrong with it
21:32 <Brunius> The front fan is completely bent out of shape, and likely won't move again without professional help. There's the possiblity of damage to the electronics, but that's harder to diagnose.
24:19 <Mekkis> "Man, I hope this thing's insured. That must have been some crash. You alright?"
24:57 <Brunius> "Nothin' I can't walk off. Hell of a shock, though"
25:39 <Mekkis> "Yeah. Might be best to call up some toie."
25:52 <Mekkis> "What Happened?"
26:22 <Brunius> toie?
27:27 <Mekkis> one who tows
29:04 <Brunius> "It's this storm, y'know. I thought I could outrun it but, ah, obviously not" he says, looking a bit sheepish
30:34 <Mekkis> "Hey, you a member of the NRA?"
30:59 Agatha ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
31:28 <Brunius> "Of course" he replies, looking vaguely surprised "Got my piece right here", patting the 'cycle's saddlebags
31:48 <Mekkis> "Going to the Santa Fe rally?"
32:24 <Brunius> "Not specifically, but I might if it takes my fancy. Why?"
32:30 <Mekkis> "I hear Trump'll be guest speaker."
34:16 <Mekkis> How many time stops were used?
34:29 <Mekkis> and why no AMF?
37:02 <Brunius> He makes a face "Probably not, then. I'm more of a Cruz guy"
40:04 <Mekkis> "Too loate for that
42:53 <Mekkis> I'll idly try and bend the front fan back into shape
45:04 <Brunius> It flexes slightly, but seems thoroughly crumpled.
45:07 <Mekkis> "Where you from anyway?"
45:07 <Brunius> "What about you
45:16 <Brunius> ? What brings you out here?"
46:34 <Mekkis> "Well... You know. The pope was right. Last time it took him four years...."
47:01 <Mekkis> "I'm heading to the rally"
47:11 <Mekkis> "Decided to take in the scenery"
50:21 <Mekkis> A pretty morally bankrupt company
50:29 <Mekkis> and I would argue that they are worse than Disney
00:05 <Mekkis> oh wow. Looks like Unaipon has a shitton of prestige to spend
00:23 <Mekkis> now that I don't need to save for a resurrection
07:59 <Steven1> suuuuuuuup
12:07 <Avatar> another character with another unpronouncable name
46:34 <Steven1> i really miss when boots of elemental earth were good.
47:00 <Steven1> boots of the earth....
47:06 <Steven1> i dont remember the exact name
00:36 <Steven1> I should probably spend a rebuild boon on my Character Mack.
00:51 <Steven1> currently he is a bard4/Monk1/Pain Taster 6
01:10 <Steven1> I should be able to clean him up a lot.
01:31 <Steven1> probably take him to being a Skald/Pain Taster
34:15 <Steven1> No time stops were used.
35:23 <Steven1> and i got them to use their AMF on the Dark Tapestry Oracle
35:51 <Steven1> also got them to use Maze in that fight... was fantastic!
11:00 <Steven1> maybe warpriest/pain taster
11:44 <Steven1> !throw 1d20+19; 1d4+2d6+3d6+18; 1d6
11:45 <diebot> Steven1, 1d20+19: [1d20=19] 38; 1d4+2d6+3d6+18: [1d4=2; 2d6=3,3; 3d6=5,4,3] 38; 1d6: [1d6=6] 6
12:09 <Steven1> my whip attack and resulting damage to myself.
24:46 <Steven1> avatar run a 10-11 tier game for us.
54:40 <Avatar> you run a 10-11 game for us
57:15 <Steven|M> what up
05:07 <Steven1> But i GM'd yesterday, and last saturday and sunday.
06:48 <Steven|M> so tired... my niece has decided today will be marathon climb on steve day
33:29 <Avatar> I didn't see that
33:36 <Avatar> did any of the rest of you
36:28 <Steven1> well, not my fault you werent in tricities washington, pullman washington, or moscow Idaho.
37:09 <Mekkis> Steven1, will you run a game for me if I'm in the area?
37:28 <Steven1> yup.
38:16 <Steven1> Special circumstance games happen all the time.  Last year we ran a game for a guy who was biking from seattle to miami, then played with him at gencon.
38:20 <Steven1> was a blast
39:34 <Mekkis> cool
39:54 <Steven1> guy was pretty cool as well.
47:53 <Steven1> hmmmm.... so making a better pain taster
05:38 <Avatar> are you going to washington mekkis
05:47 <Avatar> I knew you were getting into politics but this is something else
06:16 <Avatar> president mekkis of the united states of america !
14:33 <Steven1> cannot happen.  Mekkis is Foreign born.
20:36 <Mekkis> It can. We just need to invade you
28:11 <Avatar> mekkis knows how to twist the rules relaxer
29:55 <Mekkis> :)
30:06 <Mekkis> Steven1, I was born in Melbourne. 
30:14 <Mekkis> You might know it as Melbourne, Florida
31:04 <Steven1> Sounds legit.
31:04 <Steven1> couldnt be any worse then Drumpf
44:50 <Mekkis> Hillary or Bernie?
48:02 <Steven1> the whole thing is a shit show
48:09 <Steven1> bernie wont get the nomination
48:19 <Steven1> and hillary is... fucking horrible.
51:55 <Steven1> i really hate american politics.
52:22 <Steven1> the only reason hillary looks like she has such a commanding lead is because of superdeligates.
52:29 <Steven1> http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/graphics/2016-delegate-tracker/
58:33 <Steven1> "But Steve what is a superdeligate?"  Well a superdeligate is a single person who gets to vote however the hell they want irregardless of the popular vote, except their 1 vote counts as like 1 million people.
59:16 <Mekkis> heh
01:31 <Steven1> It is a lot of fun.
01:58 <Mekkis> why aren't people second amendmenting them?
02:48 <Steven1> and then you get like 1/3 the country who are republicans screaming "Its the liberals fault our country is ruined!"
03:10 <Mekkis> Compare and contrast: Trump vs Goldwater.
03:18 <Steven1> and then a 1/3 of the country who are liberals screaming "It's the Republicans fault!"
03:39 <Mekkis> and 1/3 of the country with their hands in their ears?
03:51 <Steven1> and then you've a middle third who basically sit around and go "Why are you guys yelling?  We have real problems!" but nobody listens.
04:13 <Steven1> two party system baby!
05:01 <Steven1> Betcha cant guess which third i belong to.
05:22 <Mekkis> definitely the republican
05:32 <Steven1> totes
06:05 <Steven1> but seriously, I'm a moderate, and it infuriates me how things work.
07:33 <Steven1> Like, Global Warming.  It is a fact... except if you're a politician then its a platform to blame the opposing political system.
08:33 <Steven1> for just about anything... including womens rights.
09:26 <Steven1> and now that im super annoyed at politics...
09:34 <Steven1> im going to go play a mind numbing game.
10:01 <Steven1> hmmmm.... maybe d3
10:18 <Mekkis> I recommend warframe
10:37 <Steven1> im dont play that game.
10:52 <Mekkis> give it a shot, it's suitably mindnumbing
12:42 <Steven1> i've no interest in playing it though.
14:31 <Steven1> i dont really like mmos.
14:47 <Mekkis> d3's practically an MMO
15:17 <Steven1> it can be if you let people join your games.
16:12 <Steven1> but i was thinking of playing something else.
17:46 <Mekkis> Random drops, grinding, real-money trading...
18:07 <Mekkis> Sounds like an MMO
26:34 <Steven1> d3 got rid of real money trading.
27:15 <Mekkis> replaced it with 'unofficial' real money trading?
33:04 <Steven1> nah, cant trade items.
37:25 <Mekkis> Have you drafted SOI?
45:47 <Steven1> no, i helped run the event.
46:01 <Steven1> 63 people
46:21 <Steven1> only 6 drops after first round.
50:23 <Steven1> Well... its 3am, I have to drive my dad to hip surgery in the morning.  Have a good night guys.
04:55 <Avatar> how many wishes were used?
05:26 <Avatar> and why no extended maximised dazing fireballs?
17:30 <Steven1> meh
17:34 <Steven1> im not surprised.
31:54 Agatha has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
40:07 monk has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
36:05 <Mekkis> Avatar, that's racist
53:38 <Steven1> why would i need those when i have Mythic Meteor Storm
07:15 <Avatar> your face is racist
27:04 <Mekkis> Applied for a new credit card today. Fun times
49:02 <Mekkis> umm...
49:59 <Mekkis>    Let Death Be Final, For We Are Not the Keepers
50:00 <Mekkis> of Graves: One who dies should not be resurrected,
50:00 <Mekkis> particularly if her death occurs in the pursuit of the
50:00 <Mekkis> church’s beliefs or as the result of a contract on the
50:00 <Mekkis> deceased’s life. A worshiper of Achaekek rarely agrees to
50:00 <Mekkis> return to life if given the chance, and the god’s worshipers
50:02 <Mekkis> generally do not perform spells such as resurrection, save in
50:04 <Mekkis> cases where not doing so causes a greater inconvenience
50:06 <Mekkis> or peril to the faith.
46:11 <Avatar> is whatshisname a follower of achaekek
47:25 <Avatar> "not anymore!"
48:02 <Avatar> new GoT is out
