00:12:01 <Steven1> hearthstones match making system is truly lackluster
00:12:25 <Steven1> I either crush my opponent becaue he is in the sameboat as me and doesnt have a lot of cards
00:12:48 <Steven1> or my opponent crushes me because he has better cards.
00:15:03 <Steven1> i just played a person who had one of the top decks, i'm rank 20.
00:31:33 <Steven1> 20 out of 25.
00:43:36 <Brunius> Mekkis, I've been enrolled for years
01:18:34 <Mekkis> the point being?
01:20:43 <Steven1> the point being there is a rogue talent that lets you withdraw after making a sneak attck
01:21:14 <Steven1> which procs the ring, making you invisible, that enables you to make a sneak attack
01:22:26 <Mekkis> ah
01:36:57 <Avatar> what items did you guys have that you had to deal with
02:06:30 <Mekkis> Heneski has a staff of the master that he bought a couple of sessions ago
02:07:16 <Mekkis> I have a character who planned on getting a jingasa. Most of my characters didn't want the look
02:10:22 <Mekkis> I think one of my characters was rocking the feather step slippers
02:10:43 <Mekkis> my character in Reign of Winter is. I don't think my GM will enforce the errata
02:10:48 <Mekkis> !spell feather step
02:10:49 <diebot> Mekkis, FEATHER STEP transmutation ([]) bard 1, druid 1, ranger 1 1 standard action Range: close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) one creature Comp: V, S Duration: 10 minutes/level Save: Fortitude negates (harmless) SR:yesSource: APG
02:10:49 <diebot> For the duration of this spell, the subject ignores the adverse movement effects of difficult terrain, and can even take 5-foot steps in difficult terrain.
02:11:13 <Mekkis> oh, heneski also has the mnemonic vestments
02:12:45 <Mekkis> Mytiazair has a mithril frypan
02:13:11 <Brunius> Heh, Chris Lambertz has gone through and 'Removed a couple unhelpful posts'
02:13:50 <Avatar> I'm only talking PFS characters
02:14:15 <Avatar> I think snapleaf was the only item I had that got errata'd
02:14:36 <Avatar> and it's still pretty good post-errata
02:15:03 <Avatar> !item snapleaf
02:15:04 <diebot> Avatar, SNAPLEAF [faint transmutation] CL:5 none 750gp, 0lb
02:15:05 <diebot> This crystalline carving looks like a hand-sized tree leaf. It is usually worn around the neck on a strap so it is within easy reach, but can be affixed to a belt or clothing just like a badge. Activating a snapleaf is an immediate action and gives the bearer the benefits of feather fall and invisibility. The duration of the two effects work
02:15:05 <diebot> independently; ending one early does not affect the other. The item cannot be activated to provide just one of these two effects; they are always activated simultaneously. Source: Ultimate Equipment
02:18:40 <Avatar> where does diebot get the rules wording from
02:24:06 <Steven1> JUST A COUPLE!
02:25:35 <Steven1> avacado turkey melt for dinner
02:26:18 <Mekkis> diebot's database
02:26:30 <Avatar> you know what I mean
02:26:32 <Mekkis> I have some scripts that I can run to update it from d20pfsrd
02:26:51 <Avatar> I just saw a description that was updated to the errata
02:26:58 <Avatar> but snapleaf isn't
02:27:24 <Mekkis> you did?
02:27:26 <Avatar> !item jingasa of the fortunate soldier
02:27:26 <diebot> Avatar, JINGASA OF THE FORTUNATE SOLDIER [strong divination] CL:15 head 5000gp, 3lb
02:27:27 <diebot> This conical iron jingasa, or war hat, grants the wearer a +1 luck bonus to AC. Once per day when struck by a critical hit or sneak attack, the wearer can spend an immediate action to negate the critical hit or sneak attack (similar to the fortification armor special ability, but without requiring a roll). The damage is instead rolled normally.
02:27:27 <diebot> Source: Ultimate Equipment
02:27:29 <Mekkis> I haven't updated any of them
02:27:38 <Avatar> yeah the jingasa is updated
02:27:41 <Avatar> not on diebot though
02:27:44 <Avatar> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/h-l/jingasa-of-the-fortunate-soldier
02:27:56 <Mekkis> I know
02:29:16 <Avatar> jaunt boots is updated as well
02:29:23 <Avatar> basically maybe you should do a full update
02:29:38 <Mekkis> sure
02:30:15 <Avatar> how long does that take
02:30:29 <Mekkis> if it works, about 5 minutes
02:54:21 <Steven> sup
02:54:41 <Steven> I'm at the con right now
02:58:57 <Steven> anybody got any questions they want answered by staff... i might see my way to asking them.
03:01:44 <Steven1> staff of the master and a jingasa(actually on an tien character)
03:11:37 <Steven> im currently face to face with matt goodall
03:13:08 <Brunius> hehe, killer matt
03:17:13 <Steven> yeah, we talkin bout starfinder
03:18:09 <Steven> im minding the prize booth... have a migraine... was pretty shitty until a guy gave me a bottle of home made mead
03:19:30 <Steven> now this is way better
03:30:28 <Steven1> yo
03:39:10 <Steven1> well...
03:39:18 <Steven1> so, my brother bought a new truck.
03:39:25 <Steven1> giving me his car.
04:14:36 <Avatar> agreed
04:25:48 <Steven1> so, had an alergic reaction tonight.
04:25:59 <Steven1> dont know what it was to
04:26:03 <Steven1> i broke out in full body hives.
04:34:04 <Avatar> I don't understand why paizo staff don't get involved in those conversations
04:37:57 <Steven1> would you rather them talking or making more stuff
04:39:09 <Steven1> i know which one i would want them doing if i were their boss
04:41:25 <Avatar> it's organised play
04:41:28 <Avatar> they should be talking
04:41:49 <Avatar> if tonya isn't getting involved in the community discussion, something's wrong
04:42:25 <Avatar> john obviously has a better excuse, but the big questions in that thread are "should we doing this much accounting, or should we be having more fun"
04:42:36 <Avatar> and they are just being left up in the air for players to argue over
04:46:41 <Avatar> hallo ?
04:59:09 <Mekkis> Steven1, is your tien character going to keep the jingasa?
05:04:50 <Steven1> tonya and john are not in control of the errata.
05:06:09 <Steven1> and tonya has quite a lot on her plate right now, its 3 days till Paizocon. John's job is pretty much done sinceall the stuff should be on their way to the printerss.
05:06:53 <Avatar> I wouldn't
05:07:18 <Avatar> I would come up with a roleplay reason that my character did not like that jingasa anymore
05:10:08 <Steven1> sup
05:10:29 <Avatar> ye
05:14:26 <Avatar> it's not just about errata anymore though
05:27:08 <Steven1> well, there is a reason john is posting and tonya isnt.
05:27:16 <Steven1> one of them is super busy
05:27:19 <Steven1> the other is just busy
05:29:20 <Brunius> hello anyone here?
05:31:27 <Mekkis> that sounds like you, Avatar
05:33:03 <Avatar> are they the only two people at paizo who understand how they want to run pathfinder society
05:33:57 <Avatar> I mean JJ is the creative director and he seems to find time to have a whole thread dedicated to answering anything
05:37:51 <Avatar> I guess so
05:38:01 <Avatar> wouldn't you
05:39:32 <Steven1> yeah im going to sell it back.
05:39:58 <Mekkis> Proquar!
05:40:12 <Mekkis> the PC I have will still get one
05:40:28 <Steven1> There are better head slot items for him, i picked it up because it was crit protection on a front liner.
05:43:28 <Avatar> what a waste
05:45:23 <Avatar> hallo ?
05:46:39 <Steven1> its not doing what it should be doing.
05:54:28 <Mekkis> !search immune
05:54:30 <diebot> Mekkis, 109 items found and PMed to Mekkis.
06:02:10 <Mekkis> Steven1, can you tell me which airlines in the US to avoid?
06:04:00 <Proquar> mekkis!
06:04:45 <Mekkis> Looks like I should stop procrastinating with regards to accommodation. Can you recommend anywhere near Hurstville?
06:12:27 <Steven1> yeah
06:12:33 <Steven1> just watching a movie
06:26:59 <Avatar> is that all
06:31:08 <Steven1> yup
06:31:31 <Steven1> tomorrow i have some stuff to do earlier in the day, and then on thursday i leave for paizocon.
06:37:03 <Steven1> what up with you dawg?
06:46:04 <Avatar> drive to aus
06:53:10 <Steven1> so damned bored
06:53:57 <Steven1> well it is a week until paizocon.
06:54:05 <Steven1> I suppose i should go get my characters in order.
06:59:01 <Mekkis> Looks like I'll finally post that thread I've been considering for literally years now
07:00:41 <Mekkis> I think I've found the difference between an incompetent cook and a competent cook
07:13:52 <Steven1> oh hey another one of my characters had a jingasu
07:14:12 <Steven1> doesnt really impact him since s/he is level 14
07:17:14 <Steven1> did drop AC to 34
07:25:55 <Steven1> well... that wasnt noticed.
07:26:18 <Steven1> So Ring of Inner Fortitude blocks a lot of spells from actually working.
07:26:34 <Steven1> Enlarge Person, Reduce Person, Righteous Might.
07:27:50 <Steven1> nearly all the polymorph effects.
07:28:08 <Steven1> like beast shape, dragon shape, what not.
07:29:43 <Mekkis> !item Ring of Inner Fortitude
07:29:44 <diebot> Mekkis, RING OF INNER FORTITUDE, MINOR [moderate conjuration] CL:7 ring 18000gp, 0lb
07:29:44 <diebot> Alternating diamonds and rubies stud this band of white gold. A minor ring of fortitude reduces ability damage or temporary ability penalties the wearer takes by 2 points and ability drain by 1 point. If an effect targets multiple ability scores (for example, exhaustion, fatigue, or touch of idiocy), the ring reduces the damage, drain, or penalty
07:29:44 <diebot> for all ability scores. A major ring of inner fortitude reduces ability damage or temporary penalties by 4 points and reduces ability drain by 2 points. A greater ring of inner fortitude reduces ability damage or temporary penalties by 6 points and reduces ability drain by 3 points. Wearing a ring of inner fortitude ring does not make the wearer
07:29:44 <diebot> immune to conditions such as fatigued or exhausted even if the wearer ignores all ability damage, drain, or penalties from the condition. Source: Ultimate Equipment
07:30:08 <Mekkis> how so?
07:30:34 <Steven1> Enlarge person gives you a -2 dex penalty.
07:30:43 <Steven1> due to size
07:31:27 <Steven1> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/rings/ring-of-inner-fortitud
07:31:33 <Steven1> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/rings/ring-of-inner-fortitude
07:34:02 <Steven1> it was one of the errata
08:17:47 <Steven1> all the airlines are shit man.
08:18:30 <Steven1> the main difference between them all is the price and that is usually 10-50 bucks... thats it.
08:22:32 <Mekkis> I love paizo's errata policy
08:31:40 <Steven1> sometimes its wonky as fuck
08:34:46 <Avatar> what's wrong with it
08:39:04 <Steven1> hmm
08:58:28 <Mekkis> Avatar, the problem is that they only release errata when the print a book a second time
08:58:55 <Mekkis> Which means that the errata never gets properly reviewed
10:22:23 <Mekkis> Delta appears to be extremely expensive
10:22:58 <Mekkis> lol
10:23:01 <Mekkis> " A lot of people are under the impression that this is a game that we play to have fun, and that they ought to be able to show up to a game day and have that fun even if they don't obsessively keep up up with stuff that gets posted over on a forum or a web page somewhere."
10:23:47 <Steven1> yeah delta is a bitch.
10:32:43 * shadsam thinks Brunius Should stop acting like such a cunt and shut the fuck up!
10:37:44 <Proquar> mekkis, i'd think hurstville has places in there
10:38:08 <Proquar> unfortunately, i don't stay in sydney often, if you know what i mean
10:38:20 <Proquar> if you get desperate, i can find some un-ideal solutions for you
10:47:01 <Brunius> Man, that thread.
11:16:55 <Avatar> what thread
11:22:22 <Mekkis> Are there any prestige classes that can be entered prior to level 5?
11:24:54 <Brunius> Paizo Messageboards, it's the one about the UE Errata
11:25:02 <Brunius> Page 9 is that quote.
11:25:23 <Brunius> Starts with Chris Mortika and a VL going "IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW THE RULES YOU'RE LITERALLY HITLER"
11:25:30 <Brunius> (okay, slightly exaggerated)
11:33:10 <Avatar> maybe a link
13:44:25 <Steven1> not that i am aware of
15:03:54 <Steven1> http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2to8u&page=9?Ultimate-Equipment#417
15:04:10 <Steven1> that forum has been fantastic.
15:04:50 <Steven1> i kind of wish they had waited until after paizocon to release it
15:13:07 <qwertyasdjkl> hello?
15:25:53 <qwertyasdjkl> hello?

16:37:37 <Nick-> Okay, thank you!
17:33:57 <Avatar> I don't think he really earned that killer matt nickname
17:34:08 <Avatar> it's a bit misleading
19:23:29 <Avatar> why are you so keen on random prestige classes
19:46:20 <Mekkis> Brunius, http://www.aec.gov.au/enrol/
19:49:04 <Proquar> m
