15:38.37 | NeonPanda | hi all |
15:38.46 | NeonPanda | I have eaten approximately 60% of a rockmelon so far |
15:38.51 | NeonPanda | I'm about to go for the other 40% |
15:39.32 | Technobliterator | hihi |
15:39.48 | Technobliterator | Most of the chat seems to be on the Discord these days |
15:40.12 | NeonPanda | with good reason, you got like seven different chatrooms for different purposes, plus voice channels and whatnot |
15:40.19 | NeonPanda | I'm just on my laptop while I'm eating, then back to discord |
15:41.09 | Technobliterator | Ah, fair enough |
15:41.16 | Technobliterator | And yup |
15:41.20 | NeonPanda | time for the remainder of the rockmelon |
15:41.22 | dino82_ | finished! http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Lusitania_Squadron |
15:41.23 | NeonPanda | brb |
15:42.25 | NeonPanda | rockmelon acquired |
15:42.36 | NeonPanda | god I think about the weirdest things while I'm eating |
15:43.04 | NeonPanda | I've gone from "I wonder who else in the wiki community would be up for D&D" to "if rockmelon was a food option in FFXV what stats would it have" |
15:45.14 | NeonPanda | now I concede that one of those things isn't that weird, but the other kinda is |
15:45.43 | OluapPlayer | The hell is a rocklemon |
15:46.04 | OluapPlayer | It sounds like a D&D item |
15:48.00 | NeonPanda | also known as a cantaloupe if you're more familiar with that |
15:49.05 | OluapPlayer | Right looking on google gives me a vaguely familiar fruit |
15:49.20 | OluapPlayer | But rockmelon sounds like it's a rock which you pry open and it's edible on the inside |
15:51.21 | dino82_ | bye bye |
15:55.27 | NeonPanda | also Hachiman OluapPlayer: I am now fully equipped to run ze D&Ds so realistically I can start whenever |
15:55.50 | OluapPlayer | yey |
15:59.30 | OluapPlayer | cute elf girl and her horrifying velociraptor pet is go |
16:04.47 | NeonPanda | what is it with this group and cute elf/half elf girls? |
16:05.00 | NeonPanda | off the top of my head every game except like two have had one |
16:05.41 | OluapPlayer | They have all the good parts of a cute human girl, with increased height and pointy ears |
16:06.01 | NeonPanda | this is true |
16:06.18 | NeonPanda | though usually a bit taller, which is a bit of a downside for me |
16:07.45 | OluapPlayer | Pointy ears are always good though |
16:16.01 | OluapPlayer | NeonPanda: I just realized. You play Hearthstone, right? |
16:16.15 | NeonPanda | not anymore, haven't for a long while |
16:16.16 | NeonPanda | why? |
16:16.41 | OluapPlayer | Do you know about Un'Goro Crater? |
16:20.28 | NeonPanda | I'm aware of it only because it's in the funny flavour text of like one card |
16:20.35 | NeonPanda | apparently a giant dinosaur sat down and made it or something |
16:21.00 | OluapPlayer | That's a no then |
16:21.15 | OluapPlayer | Basically Un'Goro Crater is a small part of Kalimdor filled with dinosaurs |
16:21.26 | OluapPlayer | A forgotten ancient land basically |
16:21.57 | OluapPlayer | I was gonna give it to you as a suggestion for your game |
16:23.37 | Hachiman | Oh, that means I can suggest something |
16:23.44 | Hachiman | Do you know about Goldshire |
16:23.49 | OluapPlayer | u |
16:26.54 | Hachiman | So, here's a dilemma |
16:27.20 | NeonPanda | you want a tavern full of sluts, but you also want all of those sluts to be fat pasty men under glamours? |
16:27.48 | OluapPlayer | hoh |
16:28.19 | NeonPanda | OluapPlayer: I'm aware of at least some of the stuff in Un'goro, needless to say it gave me a couple of ideas |
16:28.28 | OluapPlayer | Cool |
16:28.46 | Hachiman | Say that you have a chosen one in a fantasy story; the chosen one takes up his hero's journey to seek revenge or free the land or whatever from the BBEG as foretold by a prophecy, which, if the prophecy is taken to be true, means the good will eventually triumph the bad. However, if the BBEG is aware of this prophecy, why send his soldiers to attack the chosen one while they're young and harmless, as it in turns invokes the prophe |
16:29.03 | Hachiman | However, if the BBEG is aware of this prophecy, why send his soldiers to attack the chosen one while they're young and harmless, as it in turns invokes the prophecy and sets the chosen one on their journey |
16:29.55 | NeonPanda | well if that BBEG believes in the prophecy he'd never have become the BBEG anyway |
16:30.26 | NeonPanda | or at least would have been like "well I'm doomed to fail eventually" so the chosen one would probably be at the back of their mind if they |
16:30.35 | NeonPanda | thye're being partway realistic about things |
16:31.17 | Hachiman | The only way the BBEG could win is by going against the prophecy and avoiding setting the hero out on their journey, which shouldn't be possible if the prophecy is supposed to be deemed true by the laws of fate and the universe, which brings into question the idea of free will |
16:31.46 | Hachiman | And if free will turns out to not be true, is the BBEG really evil or was his evilness determined by forces beyond his control |
16:31.58 | NeonPanda | which is my point- if he believes the prophecy to be true then he's just going to give up the moment he hears about it |
16:32.16 | NeonPanda | if free will is not a thing in that world then the whole thought discussion is moot to start with |
16:32.28 | Hachiman | Man that's depressing |
16:33.43 | NeonPanda | because you can have a world with free will that has fixed points that are fated to happen, so anyone with any kind of ambition is going to try to learn about as many of them as possible and avoid *all* of them that don't benefit them |
16:34.33 | OluapPlayer | This is why you don't let the BBEG look at the prophecy scroll |
16:35.10 | NeonPanda | so if they had the free will they absolutely wouldn't do anything to provoke the creation of a "chosen one" by whatever means the prophecies dictate |
16:36.17 | Hachiman | Which means their evil reign would effectively be non-existent, otherwise it'd have the potential to invoke chosen one creation? |
16:36.31 | NeonPanda | prettymuch |
16:36.58 | NeonPanda | like if they were aware of such prophecies ahead of time, they'd literally have a checklist of shit they aren't allowed to do, cos if they do any of those things they're doomed to failure |
16:37.25 | Hachiman | Man, I feel sorry for the bad guys now |
16:37.39 | NeonPanda | and if they find out about these prophecies after the fact then the logical option is to give up, fulfilling the prophecy as the chosen one has brought about the end of the evil reign |
16:38.10 | NeonPanda | you wonder why I don't do much prophecy stuff :P |
16:38.29 | Hachiman | This is why I'm of the opinion that Wheel of Time handles the "chosen one" deal more fairly; the prophecy states that the chosen one *can* defeat the BBEG, but that doesn't mean they *will*, as it's only a possibility |
16:39.01 | NeonPanda | funnily enough I've never sympathised with a villain so much as the Maid of Windemere, who was in literally that situation- her role in the Ballad is to do a bunch of evil shit |
16:39.29 | NeonPanda | because she loves King Wencen, so every time the Cycle repeats she does all this stuff because the Cycle *has* to be repeated |
16:40.28 | NeonPanda | then you come along with the ability to change fate and she's like "please, all I've ever done is play my part in the ballad, I don't want to be the villain, I just want to love you" and I'm just like "well shit, yeah fuck the House" |
16:40.38 | Hachiman | kek |
16:40.58 | NeonPanda | she wants to love you because in order to defeat her you take on the role of King Wencen in the last tale of the cycle btw |
16:41.05 | NeonPanda | but hey I'll take it |
16:43.14 | NeonPanda | but yeah that was one of the few times that game made me actually want to side with the bad guy for the faction sidequest |
16:43.36 | NeonPanda | also the only time it succeeded |
16:43.38 | Hachiman | So, basically; enjoy your evil reign while you can, and when the signs of having invoked a prophecy come about, retire to a deserted island with your vast amount of wealth and end the prophecy prematurely |
16:44.28 | NeonPanda | prettymuch |
16:44.48 | NeonPanda | and pray you don't invoke the prophecy that involves you dying in the process |
16:45.05 | Hachiman | *Defeated* is good enough |
16:45.05 | NeonPanda | because then you'll take a javelin to the face in a sporting competition |
16:45.54 | NeonPanda | but yeah the few times I actually deal with fate, it's placing import on the fact that the players are the ones fucking fate |
16:46.01 | NeonPanda | literally in one case, long story that Hachi would approve of |
16:46.42 | NeonPanda | also going back to the discord if anyone wants to chat via voice |
16:46.43 | OluapPlayer | and me |
16:47.56 | NeonPanda | I keep forgetting that you were the other half in the goblin plus half orc equation |
16:48.27 | OluapPlayer | Having sex with the goblin wasn't my idea, if it were me it'd involve an elf instead |
16:49.05 | Hachiman | He wanted to make me his bitch |
16:49.08 | Hachiman | So I did the reverse |
16:49.32 | OluapPlayer | He just thought you were cute because you were green |
16:51.15 | Hachiman | Well if I knew THAT I wouldn't have shagged him and tried to humiliate him |
16:51.49 | OluapPlayer | Well, he wasn't really a good guy then |
16:51.51 | OluapPlayer | or ever really |
16:52.19 | OluapPlayer | If you were asked to deal with him, it means he probably deserved it |
16:52.34 | NeonPanda | what's done is done Hachi, now you will live on forever in the shame that you voluntarily shagged a goblin :P |
16:53.31 | OluapPlayer | If it makes Panda feel any better, had that game continued, Gretchbite would've probably been killed |
16:53.39 | OluapPlayer | Probably to taunt Khara |
16:54.02 | NeonPanda | unsurprising |
16:54.32 | NeonPanda | inb4 if that game continued Mirya would probably end up reincarnating him, he ends up reincarnating into a minotaur or something |
16:55.23 | NeonPanda | but yeah, am now in discord if people want to chat |
16:55.49 | OluapPlayer | iirc one the last things we did in that game was Gretchbite being taken away back to his goblin land. A big bad bugbear was meant to be there and he'd do terrible things to Gretchbite and laugh at it while twirling his mustacle |
16:56.09 | OluapPlayer | then Hachi would presumably shove Khara's sword up his bum in retaliation |
16:56.37 | Xho | wow that was a thing to turn back to |
16:56.37 | NeonPanda | something like that |
16:56.53 | NeonPanda | Xho: welcome to our D&D games when things go slightly off the rails |
16:56.56 | NeonPanda | usually because Hachi happens |
16:57.11 | OluapPlayer | The other game ended exactly with Hachi being struck with monkey goblin doodoo |
16:57.26 | OluapPlayer | There's always something involving hachi and goblins |
16:57.41 | NeonPanda | I don't remember the doodoo |
16:57.59 | OluapPlayer | Probably because everyone was tired of the game at that point |
16:58.03 | NeonPanda | I remember Hachi's first roll ever being to look up a priestess' skirt |
16:58.14 | OluapPlayer | And he rolled a fucking 20 |
16:58.22 | NeonPanda | which game was that with the doodoo? because I genuinely don't remember |
16:58.38 | OluapPlayer | The one where you and Hachi were a couple and Johson was archmage |
16:58.46 | NeonPanda | oh right that one |
16:58.55 | OluapPlayer | You were traveling down a road and monkey goblins started throwing dung at you |
16:59.02 | NeonPanda | I can say at least Hachi and I weren't tired of it |
16:59.32 | OluapPlayer | I meant at the time, you were tired from staying all night up |
16:59.38 | NeonPanda | oh right |
16:59.39 | NeonPanda | fair enough |
17:00.13 | OluapPlayer | I couldn't continue that game because I couldn't figure out how to get you all the way to a level high enough to fight an adult dragon |
17:00.42 | NeonPanda | yeah, honestly I take all the blame for overhyping that |
17:01.30 | NeonPanda | if you ever want to take another hand at running the game, I know I would and I'm fairly sure Hachi would enjoy revisiting those characters, just with a more reasonable goal |
17:01.55 | OluapPlayer | I'd like that. As far as we got with that game, we were having fun |
17:02.07 | NeonPanda | we were having a shitton of fun |
17:02.19 | NeonPanda | I fucking sneak-attacked a giant IN PLATE ARMOUR |
17:02.24 | OluapPlayer | at least i was having fun with the hot dragongirl and the skull-mage |
17:02.34 | OluapPlayer | *cyclops |
17:02.42 | OluapPlayer | You also wrestled a crocodile |
17:02.43 | NeonPanda | same shit less depth perception :P |
17:02.48 | NeonPanda | oh yeah, that was awesome |
17:03.09 | NeonPanda | and the one time Random shot me in the back by accident so I gave him his arrow back XD |
17:03.24 | OluapPlayer | I recall that |
17:03.25 | NeonPanda | (for those who weren't there, I stabbed him with it) |
17:03.48 | OluapPlayer | Random in pain is always a thumbs up |
17:04.33 | OluapPlayer | I recall that one encounter where you defended a city entrance from frogmen. I kinda goofed up the roleplaying but I think that was a good fight |
17:04.42 | NeonPanda | oh god yes |
17:04.43 | NeonPanda | that was amazing |
17:05.16 | OluapPlayer | Then you went and killed the leader of said frogmen, then trolled his necromancer master |
17:05.19 | NeonPanda | and when I pulled that slick trick getting my greatsword enchanted with a one-use Hallow |
17:05.46 | OluapPlayer | Now I just remembered the Necrodancer |
17:05.59 | OluapPlayer | I can hear the groans all the way from Australia |
17:06.12 | NeonPanda | oh yeah, that was a thing |
17:06.24 | OluapPlayer | The game ended before you could watch him dance though |
17:06.27 | OluapPlayer | we must rectify that |
17:06.41 | NeonPanda | plsno |
17:07.52 | OluapPlayer | Should be obvious by the name but he was meant to be an undead bard |
17:08.17 | NeonPanda | I'd have never guessed :P |
17:08.54 | OluapPlayer | im smart shup, i didnt copy the name from a game or anythin |
17:09.18 | OluapPlayer | But yeah I'd be totally up to running that again |
17:09.39 | NeonPanda | but yeah, at some point I'd like going back at least to those characters |
17:10.12 | NeonPanda | scale down the area we're in of course, but it'd be nice |
17:11.26 | OluapPlayer | We can remove the giant elder dragon from the equation, at least for the start, and focus on skelly and his undeads |
17:12.26 | NeonPanda | there is one thing I'd have to consider though |
17:12.48 | NeonPanda | and that is do I take the opportunity to ask to use 25 point buy or similar, so I could remake Cezar as a paladin |
17:13.07 | NeonPanda | because he was great fun as a fighter don't get me wrong, but there comes a time in a man's life when one has to layeth down the holy smack |
17:13.26 | OluapPlayer | If we reboot the game, you'd probably need new sheets |
17:13.34 | OluapPlayer | So I'd say you're free to make him as a paladin |
17:13.36 | NeonPanda | well that's a given |
17:13.47 | NeonPanda | also Hachiman you've been quite silent so far |
17:13.53 | OluapPlayer | He's probably having dinner |
17:14.10 | NeonPanda | true |
17:15.23 | NeonPanda | mfw I try to avoid the angler and end up in the middle of three anglers |
17:15.33 | OluapPlayer | dumbo |
17:16.02 | NeonPanda | welp they saw me |
17:16.15 | NeonPanda | I employed the ancient chinese martial art of RUN THE FUCK AWAY |
17:16.17 | NeonPanda | it was successful |
17:16.27 | OluapPlayer | heh |
17:16.28 | NeonPanda | anglers btw are basically deathclaws with built in nightlights that spit acid |
17:16.40 | OluapPlayer | Oh dear |
17:22.16 | NeonPanda | gdi |
17:22.23 | NeonPanda | I officially fell for the distraction sex doll trick |
17:22.50 | OluapPlayer | Oh god |
17:23.48 | NeonPanda | I gained vengeance by way of .50 explosive round to the noggin |
17:23.58 | NeonPanda | the noggin of the guy who set up the sex doll that is |
17:24.29 | OluapPlayer | dur |
17:27.05 | NeonPanda | but yeah I'm pretty sure Hachi would be up for going back to his giant-tittied elven wizard |
17:27.58 | NeonPanda | I will however let you get your Captain Planet-elociraptor first |
17:30.42 | OluapPlayer | one side you have giant-tittied elven wizard, the other you have medium-tittied elven druid |
17:30.59 | NeonPanda | there's a trend here but it's hard to spot |
17:31.15 | OluapPlayer | It's just your imagination |
17:32.39 | OluapPlayer | One encounter from that game that I remember fondly was where you were attacked by a fire mage, an ice mage and an acid mage |
17:32.45 | OluapPlayer | I had fun making that one |
17:33.55 | NeonPanda | I remember that one, that was good fun |
17:34.56 | NeonPanda | I was honestly expecting an electricity mage then a Captain Planet mage |
17:35.25 | Hachiman | WHAT'S THIS ABOUT ELF TITS |
17:35.31 | OluapPlayer | There was a destroyed fourth coffin. It was meant to imply someone went there before you and killed the electric mage |
17:35.51 | NeonPanda | we were talking about the idea of going back to the characters of Cezar and Lucia, just with a more realistic goal at the start |
17:36.20 | Hachiman | Oh sure |
17:36.25 | Hachiman | I'd like to rebuild Lucia as well |
17:36.28 | Hachiman | Mechanically, that is |
17:36.28 | NeonPanda | also, that glorious feeling when the first thing you know of your water purification fortress/gladiatorial fight pit is the sound of literally a dozen automatic rocket launchers going ogg |
17:36.30 | NeonPanda | off* |
17:37.15 | OluapPlayer | How would you guys prefer it? We kinda continue from where we left of or do we start over? |
17:37.23 | Hachiman | Hm |
17:37.44 | NeonPanda | I'd say start over at third level, reign things back a bit |
17:37.46 | Hachiman | I'd say *maybe* start over? To give you a chance to revise things |
17:37.48 | NeonPanda | keep the dragon girl tho |
17:38.01 | OluapPlayer | Of course dragon girl stays |
17:38.03 | NeonPanda | just neither us nor she quite knows what's going on |
17:38.43 | NeonPanda | if it was me what I'd do is pull us back to an island off the coast of the main island, maybe slow things down a bit and just have fun for a while |
17:38.56 | Hachiman | You mean, fuck |
17:39.08 | NeonPanda | well that comes under the category of having fun |
17:39.27 | OluapPlayer | fug, I'll be stuck with fucking Gob the Goblin |
17:39.39 | NeonPanda | we don't really need Gob the Goblin |
17:39.55 | Hachiman | Not for the fucking, anyway |
17:39.55 | OluapPlayer | y tho |
17:40.02 | OluapPlayer | I liked Gob at least |
17:40.06 | Hachiman | Gob was cool |
17:40.17 | Hachiman | Sad to see him go, don't particularly like watching him leave |
17:40.20 | NeonPanda | oh, I thought you were expressing distaste at that idea |
17:40.45 | OluapPlayer | No I mean, Lucia and Cezar are having sex and I'm stuck with the goblin |
17:41.19 | Hachiman | You don't have to fuck the goblin |
17:41.45 | OluapPlayer | Khara - excuse me |
17:41.59 | NeonPanda | Lucia: Dragongirl? - Cezar: Dragongirl. - Dragongirl: Aren't you married? - Lucia and Cezar: Raven's Landing *synchronised wink* |
17:42.16 | Hachiman | NeonPanda: Take Oath of Charity or whatever the fuck it's called so you can heal your waifu |
17:42.20 | OluapPlayer | Johnson - this makes the bone become the boner |
17:43.00 | NeonPanda | were I to rebuild as a paladin I'd be able to heal anyway |
17:43.13 | Hachiman | Yeah but Oath of Charity does better healing for other people |
17:43.22 | NeonPanda | I just realised, I could also use this as an opportunity to make that sword and shield ranger |
17:43.37 | NeonPanda | that way I've got the class skill bonus for Ride and Handle Animal *wink* |
17:43.42 | Hachiman | kek |
17:43.49 | OluapPlayer | oh god |
17:43.50 | NeonPanda | but seriously that's actually tempting |
17:44.03 | Hachiman | I mean, I *could* make Lucia a bloodrager were she not an elf |
17:44.15 | NeonPanda | OluapPlayer: Hachi and I talk about D&D just in our downtime, and one idea I've been toying with is making a sword and shield style Ranger |
17:44.27 | NeonPanda | because bounce a motherfucker with a shield swing |
17:44.48 | OluapPlayer | This isn't gonna be Cezar and Lucia anymore tho |
17:45.02 | Hachiman | y tho |
17:45.19 | OluapPlayer | lucias a literal hot elf with fire magic u dingus |
17:45.30 | Hachiman | Well yeah, I was just musing on possibilities |
17:46.02 | NeonPanda | tbh even if we ended up making major changes we'd still keep the dynamic cos that's what was so entertaining (for me at least) |
17:46.08 | Hachiman | Aye |
17:46.13 | NeonPanda | aside of course from the sheer amount of D A M A G E I was doing |
17:46.32 | *** join/#sporewiki Tek0516 (uid149600@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-apcmgfjhrhwicfvn) |
17:46.48 | Hachiman | If I was to rebuild Lucia, hm |
17:46.56 | NeonPanda | like even if we all decided to make new characters Hachi's and mine would still be at least dating |
17:47.02 | Hachiman | I'm tempted to ask for drow for that CHA bonus so I could take Sorcerer stuff |
17:47.19 | Hachiman | But Wizard is cool too and I don't feel like *drastically* changing Lucia |
17:47.47 | Hachiman | Oh and the fact drow are different in Oluap's world or something; basically circumstances mean she can't be drow |
17:48.08 | NeonPanda | gud, now she can be ice wizard for sexy pale hair |
17:48.13 | OluapPlayer | Well, by that world's canon, drow were brutally murdered by Khara and her friends |
17:48.27 | NeonPanda | Luca - I still hit like ten of them |
17:49.06 | NeonPanda | Rest of the universe - I mean, you hit basically *everything* that wasn't Small size class |
17:49.26 | Hachiman | Lucia has red hair tho |
17:49.35 | OluapPlayer | they were trying to bring about the end of the world |
17:49.39 | OluapPlayer | you don't stick your dick in crazy |
17:50.24 | OluapPlayer | I suppose we can ignore that and just say drow still exist and aren't all murderhobos |
17:50.39 | NeonPanda | Hachiman: I was just referencing my personal preference, red hair still a solid 2nd place |
17:51.43 | Hachiman | Eh I prefer the tan skin / bronze hair aesthetic so I'll keep her elf |
17:52.14 | NeonPanda | I'm Australian, hard time convincing me shining bronzed skin isn't sexy |
17:52.30 | NeonPanda | and after all it's your character, as I said I was just making a quip |
17:54.22 | NeonPanda | I might fiddle around with character builds while I'm not doing anything |
17:55.54 | NeonPanda | OluapPlayer: could I trouble you to make the character generation a point buy or somesuch? wouldn't make much of a difference in terms of how much sheer BS Cezar was previously doing, just now Paladin is somewhat more viable |
17:56.03 | Hachiman | 25 PB pls |
17:56.07 | Hachiman | also gestalt |
17:56.21 | NeonPanda | gestalt would probs kill the oluap |
17:56.38 | OluapPlayer | 25 PB is good |
17:56.46 | OluapPlayer | Don't know anything about gestalt |
17:57.06 | NeonPanda | OluapPlayer: two classes, gaining levels in both at each level |
17:57.14 | OluapPlayer | Oh |
17:57.17 | NeonPanda | in other words, it's what you do when you've officially thrown sanity out the window |
17:57.22 | OluapPlayer | Yeah that sounds like a mess |
17:57.27 | Hachiman | No; that's when you include the sanity meter |
17:57.31 | NeonPanda | it's fun, but god is it nuts |
17:57.40 | Hachiman | Also, gestalt isn't that bad when you know what you're doing |
17:57.44 | Hachiman | It's just most people don't |
17:57.54 | OluapPlayer | includin u |
17:58.05 | NeonPanda | exactly the problem :P we're trying to be nice to the oluap so he runs games for us |
17:58.42 | Hachiman | I also wanna have traits included pls |
17:58.48 | Hachiman | oh and hero points pls |
18:00.08 | OluapPlayer | Explain |
18:00.45 | NeonPanda | hero points is a bit too much, they're an extra resource that players can use to bend things to their advantage |
18:01.04 | Hachiman | And encourage PCs to act heroically for more of them |
18:01.25 | OluapPlayer | I'd rather not complicate things |
18:01.26 | NeonPanda | it's a neat system, but it's just more to think about and realistically we were literally just talking about making things simpler for the sake of running the game |

18:07.45 | *** mode/#sporewiki [+o OluapPlayer_] by ChanServ |
18:14.30 | NeonPanda | now the question truly is, fighter or paladin |
18:15.12 | Hachiman | Both |
18:15.12 | Hachiman | Take one or two levels in Fighter |
18:15.13 | Hachiman | Then the rest Paladin |
18:15.43 | NeonPanda | not really much point to the dip in this case |
18:16.10 | Hachiman | Bonus feats are always good |
18:16.16 | Hachiman | I'm actually a feat whore help me |
18:16.32 | NeonPanda | heh |
18:18.00 | NeonPanda | although Ranger is also an option, given that in my original concept I'd have been playing that more like a swordsman than a woodsman anyway |
18:19.26 | NeonPanda | I'd be trading sheer D A M A G E for the ability to bonk a motherfucker with a shield back |
18:19.28 | NeonPanda | bash* |
18:20.05 | NeonPanda | plus some utility and whatnot |
18:20.53 | NeonPanda | infiltrator would be an entertaining archetype, +2 natural armour like yeah |
18:21.25 | Hachiman | Aye |
18:21.51 | NeonPanda | ok yeah, it comes down to Fighter or Ranger, cos what I want to do is just be a martial class |
18:22.08 | OluapPlayer_ | shit son make up ur mind |
18:22.17 | NeonPanda | OluapPlayer_ I'm trying ;-; |
18:22.47 | NeonPanda | yeah I'ma go ranger just because I want to shield slam people |
18:22.50 | NeonPanda | and bed slam Hachi |
18:24.36 | NeonPanda | and that way we have someone who can identify undead/natural stuff |
18:24.51 | OluapPlayer_ | Right |
18:25.24 | NeonPanda | double archetype for the win |
18:25.45 | Hachiman | I may take Crossblooded Sorcerer |
18:25.50 | Hachiman | And go Elemental / Draconic |
18:25.56 | NeonPanda | Infiltrator trades out Favoured Terrain (because eh) for bonuses based on my favoured enemies, Skirmisher trades out spells for basically rogue tricks |
18:26.06 | NeonPanda | Cezar - sounds hot |
18:26.31 | NeonPanda | now we have double the dragonboobs |
18:26.53 | Hachiman | A shame I'm sticking with elf because I don't actually get a CHA bonus |
18:26.55 | Hachiman | So eh |
18:27.12 | NeonPanda | lean on Oluap to let you trade out the INT for CHA and keep everything else the same |
18:27.28 | Hachiman | OluapPlayer_: I'll succ your dick if you let me |
18:27.48 | NeonPanda | why do you want to go elemental/draconic btw? |
18:27.49 | OluapPlayer_ | let you what |
18:28.00 | Hachiman | Replace INT with CHA for elf racial stuff |
18:28.28 | OluapPlayer_ | wut for |
18:28.30 | Hachiman | Because elemental allows me to change any spell with an energy type to that of my chosen bloodline |
18:28.37 | Hachiman | And draconic because draconic stuff is awesome |
18:28.46 | Hachiman | OluapPlayer: Because I wanna go Sorcerer hur |
18:29.38 | OluapPlayer_ | I don't know, I think it'd be more interesting if you worked around your disadvantages |
18:30.06 | NeonPanda | also, I just realised something |
18:30.25 | NeonPanda | due to the fact that it's point buy instead of array, technically you could still start off with a higher CHA than Lucia did INT |
18:30.34 | Hachiman | True |
18:30.56 | Hachiman | And if you lent me some money, I could grab a headband as well at level 3 hur |
18:31.02 | Hachiman | As well as additional gear |
18:32.00 | NeonPanda | funny thing is I could probably afford to do so, but that's somewhat against the spirit of things |
18:32.16 | Hachiman | Rich Parents is a thing because reasons |
18:32.34 | NeonPanda | I mean, spending 4k on one item when you're supposed to have 3k in total value :P |
18:32.51 | NeonPanda | unless of course you plan to go around wearing nothing but said headband |
18:33.16 | Hachiman | Well no |
18:33.23 | Hachiman | That's what Rich Parents is for hur |
18:33.27 | NeonPanda | also, random note: apparently studying undead makes you better at sneaking |
18:36.55 | NeonPanda | oh also OluapPlayer_: Important question |
18:37.08 | NeonPanda | if I find a young drake somewhere, can I tame/bond with it and make it my animal companion |
18:37.34 | Hachiman | Drakes are sapient tho right |
18:38.01 | NeonPanda | for me drake = basically lizard |
18:38.06 | OluapPlayer_ | Drakes are dumb, dragons are smart |
18:38.12 | OluapPlayer_ | I suppose you could |
18:38.19 | OluapPlayer_ | But expect it to be temperamental |
18:38.24 | NeonPanda | well yeah |
18:38.38 | NeonPanda | but hey I already have one wild temperamental thing to deal with so I'll have practice :P |
18:42.17 | OluapPlayer_ | I'm wondering if it'd be possible to have the game be just the three of uss |
18:42.20 | OluapPlayer_ | us* |
18:42.24 | NeonPanda | absolutely |
18:42.49 | NeonPanda | Random will probably be a bit heartbroken but he's American, he can deal with it right? |
18:43.01 | NeonPanda | (the joke is that of the four of our nationalities he's probably the least 'deal with it') |
18:43.16 | NeonPanda | also HOLD UP, apparently Axe-Beaks are a valid choice as an animal companion |
18:43.40 | OluapPlayer_ | Random cut off contact with me so I don't think he'd care |
18:44.23 | NeonPanda | fair enough |
18:44.31 | NeonPanda | well yeah I'm fully up for just you, me and Hachi |
18:44.42 | NeonPanda | which would make it even more relevant that I be a ranger so I can cover some of the skill side of things |
18:45.12 | OluapPlayer_ | Just wondering how to set up encounters |
18:45.20 | OluapPlayer_ | Less people would probably mean less enemies to stab |
18:46.03 | NeonPanda | prettymuch, although what we lose is a bard so it doesn't have to be significantly less |
18:46.12 | NeonPanda | we'll have time to test things anyway |
18:46.29 | NeonPanda | hehehe, kangaroo animal companion |
18:46.33 | NeonPanda | GO FOR THE BALLS, SKIPPY |
18:46.38 | OluapPlayer_ | straya cunt |
18:47.00 | NeonPanda | fun fact: kangaroos invented vasectomy |
18:47.01 | Hachiman | Funny cus I mentioned making a boomerang build the other day |
18:47.15 | NeonPanda | Hachiman: so a wooden throwing axe build :P |
18:48.25 | NeonPanda | dangit, there's no lizards in the book that start at medium and become large |
18:48.29 | NeonPanda | gonna have to look at dinosaurs |
18:49.16 | OluapPlayer_ | taking hints from my druid |
18:49.29 | OluapPlayer_ | Also what's this, first you want a drake now you want a large dinosaur hur |
18:50.08 | NeonPanda | looking for statlines that could be used to represent hte drake |
18:50.13 | NeonPanda | as there's no drake animal companion |
18:50.28 | OluapPlayer_ | Ah |
18:51.06 | OluapPlayer_ | I remember one Paizo book which had some rules regarding dragons |
18:51.09 | OluapPlayer_ | let me see if I can find it |
18:51.22 | Hachiman | I know where that is |
18:51.27 | NeonPanda | ankylosaurus is a good contender so far |
18:51.43 | Hachiman | http://www.archivesofnethys.com/ClassDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Drake |
18:52.17 | OluapPlayer_ | That's it |
18:52.22 | OluapPlayer_ | But it starts at Tiny sized |
18:52.53 | OluapPlayer_ | http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/druid/animal-companions/drake-companions/ less of an eyesore |
18:54.43 | OluapPlayer_ | Reaches Large size at level 13 |
18:54.45 | NeonPanda | for the sake of convenience might just use an animal base and just flavour it as dragonkin |
18:55.24 | OluapPlayer_ | Well using these rules would give you a more powerful drake |
18:55.29 | OluapPlayer_ | But it's your choice |
18:57.08 | NeonPanda | either way this is significantly in the future |
18:58.41 | OluapPlayer_ | I imagine we're not starting the game with the drake companion |
18:59.24 | NeonPanda | oh lord no |
18:59.42 | NeonPanda | depending on the starting level I probably won't even be starting the game with an animal companion |
18:59.56 | OluapPlayer_ | You start at level 3 |
19:00.06 | NeonPanda | so yeah I won't even be starting with an animal companion |
19:00.19 | NeonPanda | so gib axe-beak nest that conveniently has a hatchling pls :> |
19:00.53 | OluapPlayer_ | https://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/wow.gamepedia.com/6/6b/Savage_toucan_concept.jpg?version=674c7283c9a52bc44691a5043181ca92 you mean this? |
19:00.53 | Hachiman | Can I have a cockatrice companion if I hatch it in my tits again |
19:01.26 | OluapPlayer_ | I vaguely recall something about a cockatrice |
19:01.41 | NeonPanda | http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-spENOfA6qcM/U2kkcuHxNdI/AAAAAAAAJyk/jrM08E22d54/s1600/Axe-Beak-UNFINISHED.jpg try this |
19:01.52 | NeonPanda | Khara hatched a cockatrice between her tits |
19:02.09 | OluapPlayer_ | That's not something I'm familiar with |
19:02.22 | OluapPlayer_ | That axe faced bird that is |
19:02.35 | OluapPlayer_ | I thought you meant WoW's Axebeak |
19:02.38 | OluapPlayer_ | again, Hearthstone |
19:03.36 | OluapPlayer_ | u start with something normal thx |
19:03.44 | NeonPanda | nah, I'm talking the OG axe-beak |
19:04.01 | NeonPanda | fine, big jungle cat it is |
19:04.19 | NeonPanda | I mean either way I'm either going to have to buy it or tame it in the wild |
19:04.45 | NeonPanda | huh, there's rules for thylacines in here |
19:05.04 | OluapPlayer_ | straya cunt |
19:05.06 | NeonPanda | aka tasmanian tiger |
19:05.08 | Hachiman | >boomerangs >kangaroos >thylacines |
19:05.11 | Hachiman | Australia campaign pls |
19:05.18 | NeonPanda | all die at level 1 |
19:05.28 | OluapPlayer_ | You start at level 1, basic mob is level 15 |
19:05.28 | NeonPanda | all to vasectomy |
19:05.31 | Hachiman | That's why we start at level cunt |
19:06.12 | Hachiman | >Bard's chosen instrument is a didgeridoo |
19:06.12 | NeonPanda | but seriously I *will* fight a reasonably sized flock of axe-beaks in order to get a fledgeling to train |
19:06.44 | Hachiman | inb4 fail a fortitude save and we all die on the dunny |

19:07.01 | Treebeard | Hello |
19:07.01 | NeonPanda | tbh if you die on the dunny to a fort save, it's probs cos a redback bit you |
19:07.04 | NeonPanda | hi |
19:07.29 | Hachiman | That reminds me |
19:07.45 | Hachiman | I went to a theme park or something once and found this public toilet out in the open |
19:07.55 | Hachiman | I went in there and the bowl had a fucking WASP NEST in it |
19:08.31 | NeonPanda | sounds about right |
19:08.40 | OluapPlayer_ | Oh god |
19:08.42 | NeonPanda | mfw there's rules for blue whale animal companions |
19:08.50 | OluapPlayer_ | u wot m8 |
19:09.47 | NeonPanda | I'm serious |
19:10.09 | OluapPlayer_ | That requires a very generous DM |
19:10.17 | NeonPanda | heh, giant tortoise companion |
19:10.23 | NeonPanda | DRIVE ME CLOSER, I WANT TO HIT HTEM WITH MY SWORD |
19:16.02 | NeonPanda | so one thing I will say Oluap, is that you'll have to up the availability of healing items in loot |
19:16.20 | NeonPanda | as while I'll be able to patch us up, actual HP recovery on demand is going to be coming purely from potions and the like |
19:18.01 | Hachiman | Hey Panda, who was that pyromancer PC that you were fond of playing? |
19:18.35 | NeonPanda | when was this? |
19:18.49 | Hachiman | The ifrit Inquisitor archetype I think she was |
19:19.20 | NeonPanda | there was an Ifrit Inquisitor *he* by the name of Aja |
19:19.45 | Hachiman | Right, that was the one |
19:19.50 | NeonPanda | why? |
19:19.55 | Hachiman | You mentioned he had a high position in Raven's Landing right |
19:20.01 | NeonPanda | well he basically founded it |
19:20.22 | Xho | We should have Ifrit in the Fantasyverse |
19:20.27 | Xho | As some kind of Fire Elemental |
19:20.48 | Hachiman | I was wondering if Lucia could've gotten some tips in fiery explosive stuff from his descendants; some tutoring and whatnot in how to utilize her magic |
19:20.48 | NeonPanda | Xho: the Ifrit we're talking about specifically are the result of humans and fire elementals getting hot and heavy |
19:21.02 | Xho | burnt dik/10 |
19:21.07 | NeonPanda | tbf it's entirely possible Lucia *is* one of his descendents |
19:21.11 | Hachiman | kek |
19:21.36 | OluapPlayer_ | We know where the arsonism comes from then |
19:21.37 | NeonPanda | although his fire stuff was more set his blades on fire than actual throwing fire |
19:21.41 | Xho | Still mulling over the idea of Balrogs in the Fantasyverse, I might do it |
19:22.12 | NeonPanda | I would add not!Vetruvians to the fantasyverse but it'd have to be a co-op project with someone who gets the setting cos I sure don't |
19:22.31 | Xho | wat dat b |
19:23.07 | NeonPanda | basically, people who turned themselves into animated glass/metal statues with star fire |
19:23.18 | Xho | bet that's a pane in the ass |
19:23.23 | NeonPanda | badum tss |
19:23.48 | Xho | Could work but that's some next level transmutaton shit to manipulate metal and glass |
19:23.53 | Xho | transmutation |
19:24.08 | NeonPanda | but yeah, they live in floating obelisks and make golems and stuff |
19:24.27 | NeonPanda | I'd mostly focus on the golem side as golems are basically a race in Duelyst, where the Vetruvians come from |
19:24.31 | OluapPlayer_ | Sounds weird, but could be possible, provided it's not too ridiculous |
19:26.03 | Xho | I need some music for some demoning |
19:26.20 | NeonPanda | OluapPlayer_ Hachiman: so rn the plan is basically me and Hachi taking care of a QT dragongirl while adventuring |
19:26.47 | OluapPlayer_ | ye |
19:26.58 | OluapPlayer_ | And dealing with a lich who likes to make bone puns |
19:26.58 | NeonPanda | and I'm going to be looking for exotic animals to beat into submission then raise |

19:35.53 | NeonPanda | eats a cookie |
19:36.11 | NeonPanda | gdi I just remembered that the phrase "spooky-dook" exists |
19:41.42 | NeonPanda | Oluap: golarion deities like last time I take it? |
19:41.55 | OluapPlayer_ | Yeah |
19:42.28 | NeonPanda | hm, erastil or gozreh |
19:42.39 | OluapPlayer_ | who dese |
19:42.42 | Hachiman | Shelyn / Calistrea |
19:43.02 | OluapPlayer_ | Also why the choosing if you're a ranger? |
19:43.08 | NeonPanda | RP |
19:43.15 | OluapPlayer_ | o |
19:44.13 | NeonPanda | Erastil is god of communities, farming and hunting |
19:44.22 | NeonPanda | Gozreh is basically Poseidon |
19:44.34 | NeonPanda | just with a bit more plant mixed in |
19:45.00 | OluapPlayer_ | Right |
19:46.38 | NeonPanda | hm, frogs are considered favoured animals of Gozreh |
19:46.40 | NeonPanda | how bout not that then |
19:48.03 | Hachiman | Awkward lol |
19:50.40 | NeonPanda | so yeah, like he's not a super religious person but Erastil would be his go-to guy |
19:51.26 | OluapPlayer_ | rite |
19:52.18 | NeonPanda | Desna is also an interesting option, being opposed to the Mother of Beasts and al |
19:52.19 | NeonPanda | all |
19:52.46 | OluapPlayer_ | Hachiman: What are you gonna go for then? Elf sorcerer? |
19:56.02 | NeonPanda | Desna works quite well too in fact, being the deity of travel, luck and the night |
19:56.21 | NeonPanda | so yeah, Erastil and Desna would be the two he most commonly pays homage to, the others where relevant |
19:56.28 | OluapPlayer_ | Right |
19:56.42 | Hachiman | yEAH |
19:56.43 | Hachiman | ffs |
19:56.43 | Hachiman | Laptop running like shit, gotta restart |
19:56.48 | NeonPanda | alg |
20:02.16 | NeonPanda | so basically hte idea is, while by class I'm a ranger, I'm basically Aragorn |
20:02.59 | NeonPanda | which actually doesn't say much as Aragorn *is* the prototype ranger, but the point is I'm more of a hedge knight than a hunter or something |
20:04.58 | OluapPlayer_ | I see |
20:08.22 | NeonPanda | I basically rock around adventuring by a mix of being quite proficient with sword and shield, and being able to survive in the wild |
20:08.36 | NeonPanda | basically pushing the beauty and the beast aesthetic a little further this time :P |
20:09.15 | NeonPanda | the question is, do I pay an extra 400 gold to allow my longbow to use my entire strength bonus for damage |
20:13.16 | NeonPanda | only spent 1628gp so far counting that extra 400, so why not |
20:21.01 | *** join/#sporewiki Hachiman (4eca2a12@gateway/web/freenode/ip.78.202.42.18) |
20:22.08 | NeonPanda | OluapPlayer_: would it be worth taking Undead as my first preferred enemy given that the BBEG is undead? |
20:22.15 | NeonPanda | well, the current BBEG anyway |
20:22.50 | OluapPlayer_ | Well, you'll fight all sorts of things |
20:22.55 | OluapPlayer_ | So if now at first, at some point |
20:23.09 | OluapPlayer_ | not* |
20:24.29 | NeonPanda | well what out of Animal, Magical Beast and Undead would be most immediately prevalent |
20:24.45 | OluapPlayer_ | Hm |
20:24.59 | OluapPlayer_ | Undead I guess |
20:26.05 | NeonPanda | I ask this of course for favoured enemy, which I don't get to take a second of until level 5, and that's when I need to start thinking the long game so this one is to get me through for a while |
20:26.32 | OluapPlayer_ | Ah, i thought it was for now |
20:26.33 | NeonPanda | as in, I'll probably be taking dragonkin at 5 so I can start pumping it up, pick up secondaries later on |
20:26.36 | OluapPlayer_ | Then yeah, Undead |
20:27.14 | NeonPanda | well yeah it is for now, basically what I expect to use most probably until level 10 now that I think of it |
20:29.59 | Xho | https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/spore/images/8/89/U%27thaam.png/revision/latest?cb=20170414202913 Balrogs m8 |
20:30.16 | OluapPlayer_ | get gandalf'd |
20:30.18 | NeonPanda | gj m8 |
20:31.12 | NeonPanda | on the subject of fantasyverse for a moment, where on the scale of power is summoning minions made out of sand to hit things for you? |
20:32.03 | OluapPlayer_ | Depends of how strong said minions are |
20:32.10 | Xho | Well is that like conjuring a minion or a full on Sand Elemental |
20:32.18 | OluapPlayer_ | That sounds like basic to medium level sand magic |
20:33.56 | NeonPanda | summoning a mindless automaton to perform basic tasks such as hitting things |
20:34.14 | OluapPlayer_ | Yeah, basic to medium level sand magic |
20:34.31 | OluapPlayer_ | You're basically saying a sand golem |
20:34.40 | NeonPanda | prettymuch |
20:34.53 | OluapPlayer_ | Yeah that's not too bad |
20:36.07 | NeonPanda | sorta the thing with the Vetruvians was the first guy touched a magic meteorite that burned him into an animated glass statue, then he figured out how to (somewhat) control the process to convert others, |
20:36.17 | Hachiman | dat balrog |
20:36.31 | NeonPanda | so in the expy it'd be more like tribe X of people have shit happen to them to make them glass people, with varying degrees of sand magic |
20:36.47 | Hachiman | Humans with sand magic |
20:36.54 | Hachiman | Magic mutates humans in Koldenwelt |
20:37.17 | NeonPanda | well there you go, add magic meteorite for what vitrifies them and you're good |
20:38.24 | OluapPlayer_ | Well, we usually have meteorites be anti-magical rather than magical |
20:38.27 | OluapPlayer_ | But we can make an exception |
20:38.53 | OluapPlayer_ | In the fantasyverse meteorites is where cold iron comes from |
20:39.36 | NeonPanda | in this case perhaps it's entirely a magic stone rather than a traditional meteorite |
20:39.58 | Hachiman | Could be some old piece of Sohet magitech |
20:40.01 | NeonPanda | like literally a prismatic piece of magic glass that's fallen out of who knows |
20:40.12 | OluapPlayer_ | Sohet magitech would make sense |
20:40.23 | OluapPlayer_ | Sohet being the desert precursors |
20:40.56 | NeonPanda | so yeah, this piece of magitech falls on the tribe that's already somewhat mutated into sand people, not!Vetruvians are born |
20:41.32 | NeonPanda | most of them have relatively weak abilities, basically just being able to maintain or bolster what the more potent casters can conjure |
20:41.49 | OluapPlayer_ | It'd make more sense if they unearthed it rather than it falls on their heads |
20:42.03 | NeonPanda | as in, it's the mid-tier ones that actually conjure the sand golems, the scrubs are just able to sustain them |
20:42.37 | NeonPanda | mostly just saying the fall on part as a way of explaining them being vitrified, aka burned into glass |
20:42.45 | OluapPlayer_ | Are these humans going to be the same kind as the others in the continent? Like, same species of human |
20:43.05 | Hachiman | Sounds like they'll be a derivative |
20:43.20 | NeonPanda | by the end of it they'll be something different |
20:43.33 | NeonPanda | more construct than human |
20:43.39 | Hachiman | As in, they used to be normal humans, but are so magically-infused they aren't really humans anymore after generations of mutation and the magitech thing and whatnot |
20:43.52 | Xho | Hachiman: Gimme a human name |
20:43.54 | OluapPlayer_ | Yeah but do they come from the same kind of humans as Mannazians etc |
20:43.55 | Xho | for Fantasyverse |
20:44.10 | OluapPlayer_ | Bob Steveforge |
20:44.18 | NeonPanda | I imagine so |
20:44.21 | Xho | waow |
20:44.26 | Hachiman | If they're desert dwellers, likely either some relative of pre-Mannazians or pre-Alhassans |
20:44.31 | Hachiman | Xho: What kinda name |
20:44.37 | Xho | Any man name |
20:44.44 | Hachiman | yeh but wat ethnic group |
20:44.50 | Xho | any dam u |
20:45.50 | NeonPanda | I'd say more Alhassan than Mannazian |
20:46.05 | Hachiman | Kai Sagesworn |
20:46.09 | OluapPlayer_ | Alhassans are desert humans so it'd make sense |
20:46.21 | OluapPlayer_ | You may want to have a word with Imp since they belong to him |
20:46.43 | Hachiman | Just say they're distant relatives from before Alhassal was a thing |
20:46.49 | Hachiman | A distantly-related tribe or something |
20:46.55 | Hachiman | Or tribal derivative |
20:47.43 | OluapPlayer_ | Still good at least leave him informed, cus u dont mention fiction without author's input |
20:47.52 | OluapPlayer_ | Plus it could help connect Panda's people to the rest of the setting |
20:47.52 | NeonPanda | well yeah I'd run it past him anyway |
20:48.37 | NeonPanda | hmm... to take Craft Alchemy or not to take Craft Alchemy |
20:49.24 | NeonPanda | could also take Craft Traps |
20:50.00 | Hachiman | heh, traps |
20:50.12 | NeonPanda | I've got the spare skill rank so it's not even that big a deal |
20:53.03 | NeonPanda | it'd be kinda fun to take both now that I think of it |
20:53.36 | NeonPanda | right now I'm using my favoured class bonus to add +1HP per level to my animal companion, could pop it over to skills |

20:56.51 | dino82_ | hi |
20:57.11 | NeonPanda | hi |
20:57.12 | OluapPlayer_ | Hi |
20:57.14 | Treebeard | Hello |
20:57.22 | dino82_ | everyone ejoying warm weather as wlell? |
20:57.40 | NeonPanda | it's getting on towards winter for me so the weather is slightly less warm than usual :P |
20:58.33 | OluapPlayer_ | It's autumn and it's way warmer than it should be |
21:00.51 | dino82_ | Oh winter at your place! |
21:11.42 | NeonPanda | hm, Sacred Touch would be a fairly handy trait- automatically stabilise a dying creature with a touch |
21:11.54 | OluapPlayer_ | kinky |
21:12.34 | dino82_ | nice emoticons for the Discord! |
21:12.56 | OluapPlayer_ | We have a Mortikran |
21:13.36 | NeonPanda | I'm just going to take Craft Traps, Craft Alchemy is a bit much |
21:14.08 | dino82_ | hehehe he would feel at home at the NFSC channel |
21:18.21 | NeonPanda | Harvester is another potential trait option, no risk when harvesting or applying poisons from an animal |
21:19.51 | Hachiman | NeonPanda: A member of my other group is running the Reign of Winter, so time to bring out Khara again |
21:20.04 | NeonPanda | oh boy |
21:20.16 | Hachiman | I rolled fairly okay stats too |
21:20.17 | NeonPanda | gotta find yourself another goblin boyfriend |
21:20.28 | Hachiman | 18, 16, 16, 14, 11, 9 |
21:20.41 | NeonPanda | I'd call that better than fairly ok |
21:23.38 | NeonPanda | Hachiman: while I considered Sacred Touch, it does sound too much like planning to lose, so I'm thinking Reactionary and Harvester for my traits |
21:24.01 | Hachiman | Sure |
21:24.18 | Xho | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Creature:U%27thaam more balrogs m8 |
21:24.51 | NeonPanda | OluapPlayer_: Harvester gives me a +1 to Profession: Trapper and lets me safely gather and use any poisons gained from animals, |
21:24.58 | NeonPanda | could I change that to +1 to Craft Traps instead? |
21:25.07 | OluapPlayer_ | Eh, sure |
21:28.06 | NeonPanda | so I still have 1.3k gold left |
21:28.23 | OluapPlayer_ | much moneys |
21:29.03 | dino82_ | @Xho: Balrogs!!!!!! You Shall not pass! |
21:30.33 | NeonPanda | *eyes widen* |
21:30.56 | NeonPanda | axe-beak young cost 1500gp |
21:31.43 | NeonPanda | drop two +1's off my composite longbow and I can afford an axe-beak egg |
21:32.04 | NeonPanda | better, a jouvenile axe-beak, cos the egg is only 1000 |
21:32.30 | OluapPlayer_ | So that's an actual creature in the game |
21:32.34 | NeonPanda | yeah |
21:32.47 | NeonPanda | http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/bestiary3/axeBeak.html behold |
21:33.18 | OluapPlayer_ | >If successful, it may also attempt to trip its opponent as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. |
21:33.21 | OluapPlayer_ | So that's why you want it |
21:33.49 | NeonPanda | I mean there's that |
21:33.56 | NeonPanda | btu there's also the fact that it's an emu on crack |
21:34.54 | OluapPlayer_ | honk |
21:35.19 | NeonPanda | also mine won't get that ability until I hit 7th level |
21:37.41 | Hachiman | Emus on crack; so that's how they won the war |
21:38.07 | NeonPanda | basically |
21:39.06 | NeonPanda | god it's so tempting |
21:40.31 | OluapPlayer_ | If you're disarmed, you can use the axebeak as a makeshift axe |
21:40.53 | OluapPlayer_ | Apply monster emu to face |
21:43.26 | NeonPanda | Hachiman: what do you think? Axe-beak or no axe-beak? |
21:43.35 | Hachiman | Hm |
21:43.39 | Hachiman | I'd say go for it |
21:43.45 | Hachiman | But it's not sleeping in or on my bed |
21:52.01 | NeonPanda | so basically I have a combat trained axe-beak that just has to finish growing up to combat-ready |
21:53.09 | NeonPanda | and once I hit level 7 it becomes technically intelligent (INT 3) and can take any skill or feat it's physically capable of using |
21:53.11 | NeonPanda | I approve of this |
21:53.20 | OluapPlayer_ | Axebeak - bok? |
21:54.30 | NeonPanda | https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1178055 pretty sure I have other stuff to do, however right now there's a bacon and egg sandwich with my name on it |
21:54.51 | NeonPanda | HP needs the CON modifier added now that I think of it |
21:55.51 | OluapPlayer_ | >-1 CHA >hot elf wife |
21:55.54 | OluapPlayer_ | perhaps i still have a chance |
21:56.17 | NeonPanda | the physical stats tho |
21:56.36 | OluapPlayer_ | STRONK human |
21:56.46 | OluapPlayer_ | >+8 to hit |
21:56.47 | NeonPanda | also Cezar is of course just gruff and standoffish on the outside, once you get past that he's perfectly fine |
21:56.47 | OluapPlayer_ | ayy tho |
21:56.57 | Hachiman | bruh |
21:57.01 | NeonPanda | gon be +6 when I'm TWF |
21:57.11 | NeonPanda | but that's when I'm shield bouncing people the fuck outta here |
21:57.23 | OluapPlayer_ | Good stuff though |
21:57.59 | NeonPanda | gotta be honest, the one thing I'm really looking forward to is shield bashing some poor sod into a tree so that they slam into the tree and fall down, so I can then stab them |
21:59.07 | NeonPanda | I can also employ Sparta tactics and knock people off cliffs, e.t.c |
21:59.17 | OluapPlayer_ | Boggart bashing is go |
22:00.38 | NeonPanda | aight, bbl |
22:00.49 | NeonPanda | beep me in skype or something if there's urgent things to be fixed |
