Session Start: Wed Oct 07 00:00:00 2009 Session Ident: #Exalted [16:45:18] Oh, it's not on Elena's sheet yet, but I'm gonna take Invisibility and Woof Guard as utility powers, and memorize Woof Guard. [16:45:33] Then Implement Expertise as her feat [16:45:45] Then training out Thunderwave for Lightning Pillar to see how that works out [16:45:54] I still haven't decided on her familiar, though. :/ [16:46:01] Woof Guard? [16:46:12] It's a conjuration taht summons a guard that woofs [16:46:15] I can't remmeber the words [16:47:08] Really? [16:47:10] That's kinda cute. [16:47:25] Itjust goes woof and helps Eve flank [16:47:36] So, uh, where's Rusty? [16:47:43] I dunno. I texted him [16:47:52] Huh, I never really considered flanking. [16:48:02] I never really finished respecing plow after the Eberron release [16:49:12] My dwarf's dexterity is so low that his jump skill is more like plummet. [16:49:40] Hahahah [16:50:25] Huh [16:50:34] Oso de la Fez is in the character builder as a familiar [16:50:46] Yah 03[16:50:57] * Nova (novaseaker@c-24-129-21-217.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted [16:51:03] I don't know who that is, really. But I did see it. [16:51:08] Spectral Guard and Storm Pillar [16:51:24] Spectral Hound, rather [16:51:32] Aw [16:51:36] Woof Guard has a nice ring to it [16:51:39] How are you doing, Nova? [16:51:45] Maybe that's what Elena calls it. [16:51:56] I'd be doing better if I had a regular diet of PLOW! [16:52:03] Haha 02[16:52:06] * NovaSeaker (novaseaker@c-24-129-21-217.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [16:52:07] Aww 03[16:52:09] * Nova is now known as NovaSeaker 03[16:52:11] * ChanServ sets mode: +o NovaSeaker [16:52:13] Oh, wow. What are Soarwood Wings from? [16:52:18] Speaking of regular diets-What's your character's name on Sarlona? [16:52:41] Evandara Kasnora [16:52:46] or Avonrekaes [16:52:58] I will add both [16:53:11] :D [16:53:24] Soarwood Wings sounds like an eberron thing. [16:53:34] Since Soarwood is what Eberronian airships are made out of. [16:53:48] These are fantastic, and fit well with what I was gonna do with my planned pixie recolor. [16:54:21] Once per encounter, as a move action, Elena can fly someone 6 squares. [16:55:21] Is Evandara Eve's canonical full first name? [16:55:44] We should fix her wiki page if that's the case. :( [16:56:21] The other one i was considering was Arcane Eye. It's good for seeing stuff. Once per encounter, I can treat that as the origin square of an attack instead of my own. [16:57:16] I'll go Arcane Eye for now [16:57:36] Hey, I just realized. [16:57:41] Arcane Eye and Mage Hand. [16:58:02] Oh, neat [16:58:13] Oh, wait. It specifies Attack. [16:58:30] Though I honestly don't see what the issue is if it's just mage Hand [16:58:33] No, I meant that those are the things Vecna is missing [16:58:38] Oh. [16:59:21] Given how Vecna's this ancient arcane figure, I like the idea of spells he created becoming part of the arcane vernacular [16:59:43] Huh, one of the WoW devs mentioned Jaina getting a redesign for 3.3, I wonder if that means more faction leaders getting a proper makeover [17:00:25] Yeah [17:01:40] Cha: No, Evandara is because Eve was taken [17:01:50] Also, Evandara is an elf. [17:02:00] I think [17:02:15] I kinda figured that it was because the name was taken, it just sounded more fantasy-y, so I was wondering [17:02:32] Oh, charles, wehat do we do about exp and expended powers when we level up? [17:02:39] Er, HP and expended powers [17:02:56] I'm gonna say that if you want them back, you need to take a rest [17:03:01] * Demota nods [17:03:22] Oh crap I forgot to level [17:03:22] Alright, do we "heal back" the HP that we gain for leveling? [17:03:41] Also, I have no idea if Elena got a magica item for this level. :/ [17:03:50] I see the items but I dont' remember when or how she got them [17:04:02] I should;'ve asked [17:04:11] What level are you guys now? [17:04:15] 6, now 03[17:04:45] * Mechazawa (rustangel@ip-115-028.atvci.net) has joined #Exalted [17:04:47] Oi [17:05:16] Hey Rusty [17:06:21] Alright, let's get started in 25 [17:06:40] that should be plenty of time for me to level [17:06:46] yay character builder! [17:06:52] We levelled? [17:06:56] Yeah [17:06:58] Okay [17:07:01] to 6? [17:07:04] I-I can get a power that lets me make bridges. [17:07:04] Yeah [17:07:15] It's that, or imbue an ally with regeneration 3. [17:07:16] Charles: Do you have a list of who got what during the level 5 span? [17:07:27] Well damn. Thought we wre playing sharn today [17:07:55] Sorry, I'm still not really up for the responsibility of DMing [17:08:20] Well, whatd I miss? [17:08:34] No fights [17:08:59] Ugh. Do you know how to revert to a previous version in google docs? [17:09:06] We just found out that the orcus cultists have the Ioun Stone in a necropolis [17:09:06] And we're currently trying to find out which one [17:09:37] Wait, think I found it [17:11:58] Hahaha [17:12:00] Aww [17:12:09] I can get a Wareforged Faceplate familiar and have it cling to my warforged faceplate. [17:12:16] *Warfor [17:12:16] Yeah. That is a cool familiar [17:12:24] Doubleface. [17:12:26] haha [17:12:35] Dude [17:12:36] You can have it stuck to the back of your head. [17:12:39] Have it cling to the back of dammit [17:12:43] hahaha [17:12:46] Two faces make you cocky. [17:12:46] * Demota clings to the back of Nova's head [17:12:54] Oh man, attach it to your groin. :| [17:12:57] .... [17:13:00] Ghost sound it into talking [17:13:02] You can be like the Mayor from Nightmare Before Christmas [17:13:04] OH WAIT, YOU CAN'T [17:13:30] No just have it's mouth move identically to yours when you talk [17:15:36] * The existing /welcome emote now greets/welcomes targets (character says “hello”), while the new /yw is for saying "you're welcome." [17:15:46] Thanks Blizzard, that's really useful for having in patch notes [17:16:38] I should probably take a feat that benefits the group, rather than just for a fun familiar [17:16:53] What's the familiar do? [17:17:10] Well, I can have any, I suppose, since I'm an arcane char [17:17:14] per the arcane familiar feat [17:17:24] HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH FUCK YOU DRUIDS HAHAHAHAHAHHA YES [17:17:39] ? [17:17:41] * Flight Form and Swift Flight Form: The cast times on these spells have been increased to 1.5 seconds to bring them in line with other flying mounts. [17:17:57] Matt: Well, I mean, what's the face thing do? [17:18:09] No more overpowered instant-cast mounting, druids can go fuck themselves. [17:18:11] Oh, it clings to your face and stays awake while you are asleep [17:18:20] That could benefit the group. [17:18:30] Warforged don't sleep anyway [17:18:31] Does it have to cling to your own face? [17:18:36] Maybe [17:18:42] Let me see [17:18:54] You could also take another familiar and reflavor it as a warforged faceplate. [17:19:13] I like the idea of Plow removing his face and putting another one in from time to time. [17:19:13] Apparently it's just a tiny construct that has little arms and clings to you however [17:19:19] Haha [17:19:23] That would be kinda cool [17:19:34] There are probably familiars taht would benefit everyone more wholly... [17:19:45] Not really, no. :| [17:20:55] Man, I kinda want to try Heaven Can Wait in L4D, but it sounds really obnoxious reading comments on it [17:21:03] What's that? [17:21:24] Heaven Can Wait is pretty good [17:21:34] It's not bad [17:21:38] Night Terrors is maybe the coolest [17:21:47] It's a custom campaign that apparently has a lot of wide open, free-romaning areas and infinite spawn parts [17:22:28] Oh man, I should totally take battle healer for my new feat. [17:22:48] When you use your healing word, you regain hp equal to your strength modifier! [17:22:53] Wow [17:22:54] That's awesome [17:22:55] I could lose hp every time I heal! :V [17:22:59] Hahahaha [17:23:09] hahhah [17:23:24] It would be moe. :| [17:23:46] Oh. [17:24:10] Oooh, oooh, or pacifist healer, the stupidest possible feat for a tiefling cleric. :V [17:24:19] hahahaha [17:24:25] Do you have Implement Expertise? [17:24:42] Tieflings get a bonus for attacking bloodied foes. Pacifist healers get a penalty. :V [17:24:51] I do not, that's my most likely choice at this point [17:24:56] heh [17:25:16] "I'm a pacifist tiefling." "So, you're pretty much as aggressive as anyone else." "Right." [17:25:25] Though shielding word and defensive healing word are both pretty sexy. [17:25:32] What do those do? 03[17:25:59] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Demota [17:26:00] Shielding gives targets who got a healing word +2 to defenses until my next turn [17:26:18] Defensive is +4 against the next attack [17:26:26] Oh, cool, I got Ivus the Forest Lord in my second Through the Dark Portal box [17:27:20] 10/10 for 14, costs one less for each non-token Alliance ally in my party, opposing allies, equipment, and abilities can't untap [17:27:52] @_@ [17:27:57] That would be a bugger [17:28:20] \Yeah [17:28:31] I guess, best case scenario, you could MAYBE get him out on turn... [17:28:59] Turn 5, maybe, if you somehow load your deck up with one cost allies and they all live until turn 5 [17:29:09] But he seems much more like a lategame 'I win' card [17:29:17] nice! [17:29:25] My 6th level feat is Mighty Challenge [17:29:25] And then you summon him and the horde just kites him around until npcs kill him :| [17:29:35] which actually makes my Divine Challenge DO something! :D [17:29:36] Hahahah 03[17:29:40] * Demota is now known as Eilenia [17:29:44] What's Mighyty Challenge do? :O [17:30:00] I dunno, I can't decide between defensive word and implement mastery [17:30:19] It adds my Strength modifier to the damae Divien Challenge does [17:30:20] Yon: Given Protector allies and the ability for a bunch of shitty Guard cards to gang up on him? Probably. :V [17:30:26] Hm. [17:30:31] Which, right now, is a big fat zero [17:30:32] I'd probably suggest mastery, maybe. [17:30:47] Shielding seems a little more situational since it's dependent on multiple attackers beating on whoever I just healed before my next turn [17:31:09] Yeah [17:31:19] Which might be the case if Eve has it totally covered [17:31:21] hmmmmmmmmmm [17:31:33] I just saw a good feat [17:31:47] But it depends on no creatures being within 3 squares of my target [17:31:59] Spectral Hound is a conjuration and doesn't count as a creature [17:32:18] Oh, what might be a cool reflavor for the hound? [17:32:23] This is tough to decide, I have a lot of good options here. DAMN YOU DIVINE POWER [17:32:33] I was thinking a unicorn, but unicorns probably don't wanna hang out with Eve. :( [17:32:44] Plus I'm pretty sure horse-like objects are Large [17:32:47] Eve isn't a maiden, yeah [17:32:52] Yeah [17:33:13] It could be a unipony [17:33:25] True. [17:33:26] unihorn? [17:33:32] We already have a horse around, though. [17:33:32] Hahaha [17:33:34] Humanhorn. [17:33:41] Well, what does it have one of, a corn or a horn? [17:33:48] Oh man, I have like 14 utilities to choose from D: [17:34:18] haha [17:34:33] Okay guys, how often do you think I'll be the only ally within 3 squares of a target? [17:35:28] Uh [17:35:31] Hm. [17:35:32] Often? [17:35:37] Half? [17:35:41] It really depends on the arena [17:35:43] I'm going to say 67. [17:35:45] Yeah [17:35:49] Oh wait, we just got Tabitha [17:35:52] She's melee [17:36:00] Oh man, spirit of healing looks awesome. [17:36:07] Plow and Xan need to grab a magic item too, yeah? And Paera, I thinks [17:36:19] Do I get magic items? I've been sort of absent. [17:36:32] what level magic item? [17:37:21] Umm... [17:37:27] Oh, Charles, the special cleric enhancements for Warforged in DDO is "Follower of the Lord of Blades" [17:37:28] Well, we should have the list written down somewhere. I think that we have a level 6 and a level 9 item already given out [17:37:34] I got a level 7 item [17:37:38] Oh. Hm [17:37:43] http://docs.google.com/View?id=dd88vhbs_146d4qjnthq [17:38:57] Hey Cha [17:39:00] So um, yes, what should I get then sirs? [17:39:12] Er, nevermind, [17:39:12] What items do you have? A neck slot and a ewapon slot? [17:39:24] A boots slot item could be useful. [17:39:33] Since Rangers like mobility and all [17:39:50] A hands slot item is probably not recommended right now. :( 03[17:39:53] * Alt-Eisen (Rook@cpe-76-175-9-161.socal.res.rr.com) has joined #Exalted [17:39:58] Hey, AE [17:40:08] yo [17:40:08] okay [17:40:20] The slots are... what, weapon, head, neck, arms, belt, pants, shoes, ring 1, and ring 2? [17:40:27] Wait, I dont' think D&D has magical pants. [17:40:31] Oh, and armor [17:40:32] I retrained Astral Speech out for Bless Weapon, and took a Diplomacy skill power that lets me roll a diplomacy check twice and use either result [17:40:39] a neck and a foot slot, a weapon and some armor [17:40:47] That skill power sounds much more formidable than Astral Speech [17:40:53] I have boots of spider climbing [17:40:57] aah [17:41:06] Astral Speech can lead to better DC results cause it gives a straight bonus [17:41:13] A hat could be good. [17:41:25] But Haggle, the skill power, is also an encounter ability [17:41:32] While Astral Speech was daily. [17:41:35] * Eilenia nods [17:41:38] Bless Weapon is also pretty fantastic [17:42:05] It's a daily that lets me power up a weapon to get +1 power bonus on attacks and +1d6 radiant damage on every hit for an encounter [17:42:09] I kind of like the idea of Eve haggling instead of using divine power to give weight to her speech. :V [17:42:12] haha [17:42:29] I like the idea of Eve haggling her way into bed. :| [17:42:45] Hmm, swift recovery is a pretty neat utility [17:42:49] Oh, also I can score crits on 18-20 on anything vulnerable to radiant [17:43:02] With Bless Weapon [17:43:06] Why do I have to have 14 utilities to choose from :( 03[17:43:18] * NovaSeaker is now known as Eve_Kasnora [17:43:40] Too skilled for your own good. 03[17:43:53] * MattyQ is now known as Plow [17:43:54] did I end up getting a magic handaxe? [17:43:55] If you'll have me [17:43:59] though I have no idea what's going on. <_< [17:43:59] Okay, I'm going to take healing implement for my feat (implement bonus added to all healing) 03[17:44:01] * Mechazawa is now known as Xan [17:44:07] Nova: Nope [17:44:13] So, hmm, what level item do I get? [17:44:21] Why do I remember getting a magic handaxe? [17:44:28] Impact something? [17:44:48] I have a level 2 magic item, a level 4, and two level 5s. [17:45:25] Fuck, dibs dead fae, I'm all over that shit. 03[17:46:05] * Yon is now known as Paera [17:46:12] You want to carry around Coldheart? [17:46:19] Nah, he's getting burned [17:46:25] I just like carrying stuff. [17:46:27] Rusty: Keep your pants on, we're trying to work that out [17:46:42] A level 7 and level 9 item have been distributed already [17:46:43] Alright, so there's currently room for a level 8 and a level 6 item [17:47:07] http://20.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kqykbgtOJy1qzdhvpo1_500.jpg what [17:47:33] Oh, sorry. [17:47:34] Well it shouldn't be hard for him to keep his pants on until Xan decides he needs to remove his legs too :| [17:47:44] Lemme grab the 8 [17:48:14] Dem: I think you've discovered the model Liefeld used for drawing Cap :| [17:49:12] Hum. [17:49:37] I guess Plow's sitting the item distribution out for this level? [17:49:56] Yeah give Xan the 8. We can loot it from his corpse in a few fights with the way he wastes his arrows. :V [17:49:57] I think that's fair [17:50:04] I didn't really do anything to get an item [17:50:09] * Eilenia nods [17:50:20] Except wander up to us and then disappear without anyone noticing. :V [17:50:32] It's crazy [17:50:36] Maybe I was just a figment of the glamour [17:50:48] And then I'll be, Oh, Hey guys, It's the real me now [17:50:51] Feywild is a crazy place. [17:50:56] Or maybe he just folds up into Eve's pocket. [17:50:58] We met a giant talking frog there. Very polite. [17:52:38] I really do like the idea of the Feywild having strange one-off creatures that don't belong to a species. [17:52:54] If you guys ever go there in Eberron, I'll probably be doing a lot of that. [17:53:22] lemme see... [17:53:41] 71.202.41.240 / Port 6812 [17:53:59] I still can't figure out how to change the background color. :/ [17:54:16] Gonna update Elena's pog with her new HP and defenses. [17:54:31] Charles, is our current HP adjusted with the HP gained for leveling? [17:54:43] Like, Elena gains 4 more max HP. Do I "heal" 4 HP? [17:55:35] I'm gonna say no, because that seems like it'd be weird to remember if it ever comes up again [17:55:40] Okay [17:56:07] I could put it in the house rule sbit on the wiki. [17:58:45] Cha, do my current and total HP go up by the same amount, or just my total? [17:59:08] He just said it was the max HP that goes up [17:59:08] er, nevermind [17:59:55] I guess the real solution for this is for levels to only happen during extended rests, because this is a clusterfuck [18:00:25] I've got 4 surges left [18:01:53] I'm still lugging around this fucking powder keg. [18:02:01] huh? [18:02:02] hah [18:02:40] The one we looted back... back on the platform? [18:05:09] I don't recall [18:05:33] The Refuge Float [18:05:35] Yeah, on the Refuge Float [18:05:54] I... remember the place. I can't remember anyone grabbing a powder keg [18:05:59] We prepped? [18:06:02] Matt, ProTip: Don't try to jog Dem's memory. Just tell him to trust you that it happened. [18:06:12] yeah, I've got an awful memoryt [18:06:16] I'm good to go [18:06:25] K. [18:06:46] If Xan and Paera are ready, I'm good to go [18:06:52] I bet Dem doesn't even remember the name of Faela's church in Fallen. [18:07:45] ... yeah, I don't remember. :/ [18:07:51] Blackstone [18:07:56] ah, that was it. [18:08:01] :P [18:08:07] I like how Faela just looks like Paera with a few lines erased [18:08:17] Heh [18:13:23] I'm back [18:13:38] Hey [18:14:46] Cha's waitin for rolecall in Odal [18:18:07] Orc cusine? [18:18:11] Eeeww [18:19:05] Aaaahahah [18:19:12] Overheard in my online 4e game on the weekend: [18:19:12] "Hey, would it be cool if I roll a Dwarf character for the stats but re-skin it into an elf? [18:19:12] I literally :psyduck:'d until I broke down into tears [18:19:31] "You can be a dwarf, And reskin it as an elf. But your character can not exceed 5' and your weight must be no less than 200 lbs." "Legolard Oakbelly, the world's fattest elf." [18:21:29] Hahahha [18:21:38] hahaahahahaha [18:21:55] Argh, I still can't decide between Bastion of Health, Cure Serious Wounds, Spirit of Healing, and Swift Recovery :( [18:21:58] hahaha [18:22:04] Yon, want my help? [18:22:20] Yes. Yes I do. [18:22:54] alrighty, lemme search for em [18:23:57] What's Swft Recovery? [18:24:02] I can't find it in the compendium [18:24:39] It's a skill power for heal [18:26:05] gotcha [18:27:57] Bastian of Health is like getting a gimped third Healing Word per encounter [18:28:01] Bastion* [18:28:22] It's nice cause it can be used every encounter [18:28:38] How often do you find yourself running out of Healing Words and really really really wishing you had another one? [18:28:47] Often! [18:28:55] More than once per game day? [18:30:47] Bastion of Health is also pretty good cause it's a minor action, and doesn't count toward Healing Word's one use per round. So you can Healing Word and Bastion of Health someone for two minor actions and let them spend two healing surges plus bonus healing. [18:30:52] Also, what's your charisma score like? [18:31:34] My modifier is +4 [18:32:45] Nice [18:33:01] Who's got the Coldheart? :V [18:33:13] Yeah, I'd say Bastion of Health is what you want, since you've been itching for more encounter healing. [18:33:27] Oh, I think your Healing Word also got better this level, Yon [18:33:35] I think it's Surge + Wis + 2d6 now? [18:34:01] (Oh, and Bastion of Health is Surge + Wis + Charisma, because of Healing Lore) [18:34:05] Holy shit, you're right [18:34:32] Cleric healing gets a boost halfway through a tier, I think [18:35:00] I think I'm going to take bastion. It might not be as powerful as cure serious but at least I can do it more than once a day. [18:35:08] Yeah [18:35:28] I was going to say if you only felt like desperately needing a third Healing Word once a day or less to take Cure Serious [18:36:39] Oh, also, Swift Recovery is nice and all, but Heal skill powers are more for people wanting to pretend to be a leader. [18:37:21] Like, granting an ally use of their Second Wind without needing an action, from Melee Touch range, is just flat-out worse that Bastion of Health [18:38:17] 1) You need to be within melee range. 2) Your ally is still expending his second wind which should really only be for emergencies if you have a leader in the party. [18:39:40] Holy crap, I just opened a Doomguard, which is a really good Warlock pet card, except playing it can cause you to ARBITRARILY LOSE THE GAME [18:40:00] haha [18:40:08] 8/8 for 7, it destroys an opposing ally at the end of every turn, and when it comes into play, it destroys a random friendly ally or hero [18:40:49] Makes sense to me, you usually summon Doomguards to grief your own faction/raid/party rather than to do anything useful :V [18:41:12] hahah [18:41:15] Hahahah [18:41:18] I remember them stomping around Ironforge [18:41:22] (I wish they didn't remove Doomguard Roulette) [18:42:14] Hahhaahaha yeah, that was a good time [18:42:33] Roulette? [18:43:12] Yeah. [18:43:25] They way you used to summon doomguards is the warlock placed a summoning stone. [18:43:35] Then the entire party had to channel into the stone to summon it. [18:43:48] ...then it randomly killed one member of the party to summon the Doomguard [18:44:00] hhahhah [18:44:32] The removal of Doomguard Roulette sounds like a tragedy [18:44:36] Yeah [18:44:44] That just sounds like a wonderfully bad mechanic [18:46:50] They should make it like a gamble thing. Like, whoever gets killed gets money [18:47:27] "Tightly packed neighbors that share the same bed" reminds me of "Love and hate are like two brothers that go on a date" from Avenue Q. :| [18:48:12] haha [18:48:31] I really need to see Avenue Q [18:48:39] Do they sell dvds of it? [18:48:52] You can probably see it live on broadway [18:48:59] It's closing [18:49:08] And I no longer live anywhere near broadway [18:49:16] oh, right. :/ [18:49:40] When did you ever live near it, I thought it was in New York, not Utah. :| [18:50:04] Little known fact, "off broadway" is "really fucking off". [18:51:43] It's kind of a thing with plays that they almost never sell DVDs of it, which kinda sucks [18:52:03] Part of it is that the medium doesn't really transfer well to non-live performance [18:52:15] But there's also fucking crazy-go-nuts stuff with the performance rights [18:52:18] ...hahahahaha [18:52:21] Play Dark Heresy if [18:52:21] you're tired of not having guns and cool powers when playing call of cthulhu but you liked the average PC lifespan [18:52:21] think critical hit tables are awesome [18:52:21]
