Helpful to me, too.

Please take into account that this ruling is now over 10 years old, and referenced 1st edition which, obviously, doesn't have a "rarity" system.

From the Lorespire (Purchasing/Spells);
"Any prepared spellcaster can use the Learn a Spell activity to learn any common spells or other spells they have access to from tutors at the Grand Lodge. This adds no additional material cost beyond the standard cost for the Learn a Spell activity. Having access to a scroll does not grant access to the spell, but a character with access to a scroll can buy a scroll and learn the spell from it."

Fans of the Dacilane Academy will definitely want to look at picking this one up!

Like I haven't already drawn it half a dozen times... :)

Probably a bit late now, but is there any way of indicating which items within each errata section are "new"?

Not an errata as such, but something that should be included as a footnote.

Bottomless Pit, GM Core page 101.
The detail for the Infinite Pitfall says that you can attempt to Grab an Edge each round that you are falling. Ot should probably included a reminder that even a success results is taking damage equal to half the distance you fell in feet (to a maximum of 1,500 feet). So saving in the first round should result in 250 damage, in the second or beyond 750 damage.

(Not bad for a level 9 hazard. :) )

Basically, in rebuilding a Wizard (and any other character with a spell book) what do you do with this?

Thanks in advance.

If you are choosing to Rebuild you basically recreate your character from first principles, advance it appropriate to the XP it previously had, and then spend gold calculated from the table on the linked page.

Oh Gods I can't fight the urge to be THAT person...

The henge is the circle of ditches and banks (specifically in the sequence ditch/bank/ditch) not the monoliths.

Sorry, back to your usual program. :)

The Mwangi Expanse book includes the line, "nearly every Matanji also receives a traditional inlay or coating of cold iron on or over their tusks" (page 94). There doesn't appear to be a way to do this within the books so a Boon would be fitting.

Anyone else looked critically at the map on page 14?

According to the description on page 15 says that the cavern is 2 miles by 4 miles.

Judging by the scale in the corner of the map on page 14 it should be 300 miles by 500 miles!

Quick math says that (assuming that the description is the correct one) the scale bar should read 0.8 miles (about 1400 yards), which os a really strange number for a scale.but then not as weird as a 15 mile wide cattle pen (A15).

There have been too many screw-ups with the maps in this Adventure Path.

"The scrit fights until reduced to 10 Hit Points or fewer..."

They have a maximum Hp of 8... [sigh]

Another thing about Awakened vs "Folk", beyond thumbs, is that as stands Awakened doesn't change size.

Awakened mice could have a problem...

Hardbacks only or pocked sized too?

Are the new season of quests still 1xp/reknown?

Assuming you mean reputation, it's 2 & 2.

See Announcement Blog

Thanks.

(And yes, I did.)

I was a little confused that some traps had a higher DC if the character was Legendary skill level than they do if they are Master.

Thanks.

(Every time I think that I've got the system cracked I get confused again.)

Nothing there, or GM shared Prep either.

Still, a positive test from one of my players means it all a moot point anyway...

Thanks Nefreet.

Given that the 1st Edition Iconic psychic Rivani was clearly modelled on a south Asian woman, and a few years ago one of Pazio higher-ups (can't recall which at this time) made a big point about seeing a young south-Asian girl and her mother staring open mouthed at the huge poster of Rivani at Gen Con and how important that the representation was, why the change in direction?

Any chance that someone can get the page for the Organised Play pin updated? Whilst I'm sure that the image of the back of it is accurate, it's not very helpful. :)

Page looks fine to me, maybe a caching issue on your end?

OK, I accept that you may be joking, but; even in your image that is the wing-clips on the back of the pin.

Suspicion, page 17;
"As the PCs draw attention to themselves, they accumulate Suspicion Points as a group. The group’s Suspicion Point total imposes a penalty on all Bluff, Diplomacy, and Disguise checks the PCs attempt in and around Zimar as wary locals scrutinize them ever more intensely. It also grants Zimar Sentinels and Vault and Chain templars actively opposing or investigating
the PCs a bonus on initiative checks, as they become increasingly on edge and reactionary. As the PCs’ aura of suspicion increases, they also draw additional resistance, investigations, and even assassins. The PCs’ Suspicion Point total represents a general pall over the city, rather than being tied to specific identities; the PCs maintain their Suspicion Point total even if they swap identities."

Nothing actually says what the penalty/bonus actually is. Making it equal to the point value seems a little extreme, as the table that accompanies it allows for it to exceed 20.

Maybe a lagofir is an otter + rabbit but the writer is assuming you're unfamiliar with otters?

"Lagofirs are semiaquatic omnivores that resemble a rabbit the size of a large dog. ... Lagofirs have a stout body, rounded back, large hind legs, long ears, and a short, fluffy tail. Their powerful incisors are capable of cracking through clam shells, chitin, and bone"

The picture is literally an otter with floppy rabbit ears. It's even eating a fish.

Body does widen slightly towards the hips, but front and back legs seem similar lengths.

Long, wet, furry otter's tail.

Small, pointy teeth with long canines (you know, for catching and eating fish), rather than rodent incisors.

Lagofir, page 86. Either the artist or the writer doesn't know the difference between a rabbit and an otter. Picture and description are very different.

It's still a thing.

Thank you!

(I swear that that site gets harder to navigate every time I visit it.)

Interesting that Digital Dragon' haven't replied to a single post here or Tweet since Saturday 13th, the day after the product launch, and now over a week ago.

I will note that the House of Fabergé is not a canonical Taldan noble family, but the old woman in the story may be well-traveled enough to have visited some other place where such a house exists.

Maybe her grandson swiped it, and she picked it up?

I don't know if this is just me, though I have tried using multiple devices.

Any time I try to add a pdf to an order, the page returns "your request produced an error" on the line where the price was. This makes it a bit difficult to take advantage of the spring sale...

Were you aware that BBC Radio did a modernising of

The Case of Charles Dexter Ward?

(Should be available internationally.)

I was not. Neat!

Corollary to this question: would you be interested in knowing that they have just started releasing a similar adaption of The Whisperer in Darkness?

I let the group decide who was taking each turn for the PCs. (So, count, PCs, count, PCs, count... etc.) It generally resulted in one or other of them taking the first couple of rounds, and then the 18 CHA bard coming in to finish him off.

As I read it you only apply the -2 to a skill if it successfully used to finish an exchange, not every time you use it. This is separate to the -2 penalty for countering a tactic with the same tactic.

He got hosed...

We are offer standard t-shirts, long sleeve shirts, sweatshirts, and pullover hoodies for the UK and DE as well. Those should be available on amazon.co.uk and amazon.de for you, but we don't have the Paizo storefront in those regions, so you'll need to search for them. For example:

(UK) Pathfinder Society: Year of the Open Road (Dual)
(DE) Pathfinder Society: Year of the Open Road (Dual)

That's brilliant, thank you. I'd tried searching under Paizo, but the only T that came up was an old classic Golem one.

Bear in mind though that they show the situation at the END of the particular volume.

So, how does wearing a helm that, "does not obscure your vision, though it makes it impossible for others to see your eyes" interact with gaze attacks?

I had it happen at 25,000 total investment; I swear that I read it somewhere, but I can't find it on a quick search.

Your funding cut and a stern letter from the ethics committee.

Because there's not meant to be an attack roll.

Do you look at Midsommer and think "The Wicker Man", or is it just me?

Does anybody have any suggestions of things that I can add to a Stachys harvest festival? (Yes, my group went there too.) I feel acutely aware that even though they have made a point of inviting Okerra and a couple of others, this is mainly going to be populated by the locals, so things that require more that coppers or silvers to be involved in are going to need to be in the minority.

If course, in the middle of typing this I've realised that I can have Titus crash the event... }:)

Michael, can I assume that Fumbus' banishment and Droven's disappearance took place in 4719 AR?

Iconic backgrounds have always been nebulous, for story purposes. e.g. There has never been a specific year that Bruce Wayne became Batman...

I believe there will be a hint as to Damiel's new occupation in the back-matter of the very last book in the Tyrant's Grasp AP....

Zombie is an occupation now? (The new edition is changing more than I thougt...)

Can I please second Alex Wreschnig's question,

Quote:

Each time you complete an adventure that grants at least 3 xp, you may check a box next to this boon. Once you have checked all five boxes, you are considered to have completed the goal for the chosen feat and gain its completion benefit. You cannot complete these goals through any other means.

The way I first read this, this is going to be really tough to get--you can't go slow progression for any of these, and unless you take the Reaper's Right Hand chronicle at slow progression, the only characters that can complete the boon will be level 20 at the end of it. Was that intended? We aren't adding the previous War for the Crown chronicles to this or anything, right?

And add a second of my own.

When the seventh Chronicle "Rising Aristocrat" is assigned, apparently at the same time as whichever of the the other six you earn first, you have to select a house to join. From that point on, "you gain cumulative benefits from your association with the chosen house based on the number of Chronicle sheets you possess for the War for the Crown Adventure Path".
Do all of these Chronicles have to have been assigned to the same character, or can they be on different ones? Clearly the bonus from this Chronicle only applies to one character, but the Special Considerations on page 2 of the document say "Each time the player completes a volume they gain the associated boon on this bonus sheet" (emphasis mine).

Flagged this for moving to the Society forum...

But; I've seen loads of GMs just allow having one at the table to count. I'm even aware of one who keeps six (still wrapped) in their bag to loan to players at their table.

Everything outside of Option 1 would be annoying to keep track as a player (I could see many of these getting lost). If printing is an issue, you can get sheets printed cheaply in black and white at any office supply store.

I run 3 T1 conventions a year. We have 75 to 100 tables a convention. We have to print 6 player chronicles and a GM chronicle for each table. That's 700 sheets of paper. Using the corporate rate discount at Kinko's (which is by far the cheapest you'll find in the Los Angeles area) on the cheapest paper it is still $0.06 a copy. Or $42 out of my pocket every con and that doesn't Account for things like pregens, boons, and faction journal cards.

Just because you don't pay it or don't see it, doesn't mean it is not a real problem.

It's a little ridiculous that the whole thing comes out of your pocket, especially when it could be (and I would guess generally is) easily divided up between the various GMs that are running. (Do you print their adventures too?)

However, not being rude, but would you rather pay the $42, or $10.50 and spend your time carefully and neatly cutting 175 sheets of paper into quarters?

I believe the conception behind the current change was to go to the system you describe: purchases between sessions OK, show the new GM what you purchased, no signature required. So, I think it was well conceived, but the writing ended up with something different.

Yep. You have the gist of it.

We didn't read the steps close enough. Goof on our end. Not that there will be a Guide 11, but we will note this for when we put the PFS v2 guide together.

The lack of Guide 11, or even 10.1, is understandable; but a Blogg post to clarify matters would be helpful.

My players finally got out from beneath the Senate yesterday, battling the three halflings including Imistos. One of the three nobles comments something along the lines of, "halflings, you can never trust them." To which a player responds, "oh most of them are fine, the clown that was on the balcony was really nice." Oops. :)

They could always play part 1 on slow advancement.

Yes I checked with several venture captains and even a fewer higher up people. If the item is fully stated out in the chronical sheet, or it is a custom item in the chronical sheet, like a named item. Then you don't need the source. Otherwise everyone would have to own damn near every book.

Yes, this exactly how access works, as you have been told on this very thread. And, yes, many of us DO own damn near every book; items statted outbon chronicles are very much the exception.

How do you maintain the level of patience that you do?

Should using a certain minor runewell be considered an evil act? Or possibly a sinful one?
