It looks like we can celebrate the independence day of Finland by announcing the winners of our little "race" to three GM stars.

VC Jukka Särkijärvi and a GM known as Deussu on these boards, both PFS actives who have been around since Season 0, are the first in Finland to have reached 3-star status. Apparently, Jukka beat Deussu to it by the tiny margin of a single day.

I, alas, am trailing them by some ten scenarios, so my runner-up's prize is to be able to congratulate them for the achievement. Keep it up - next stop: four stars! :)

The Necklace of Fireballs description says:

If the necklace is being worn or carried by a character who fails her saving throw against a magical fire attack, the item must make a saving throw as well (with a save bonus of +7). If the necklace fails to save, all its remaining spheres detonate simultaneously, often with regrettable consequences for the wearer.

Do alchemist's bombs count as magical fire attacks for this purpose?

So... a player came to my table with an Expert character. I looked it up, nothing in the additional resources except that everything in the Core Rulebook is permitted, with specific exceptions. So with no apparent reason to disallow it, I let him play that character.

Did I miss something that would ban NPC class characters from PFS? At least they are not overpowered, and they are capable enough that if well optimized, they would still certainly wipe the floor with a badly optimized PC class character.

As for the question "why", I can only say: "because we can". (Or can we?)

Is there a rule on how much damage you can do with an improvised weapon in PFS? The Core Rulebook rules are quite vague with this, saying only that you choose a comparable weapon and use its stats.

From reading the Improvised Weapon Master feat, my best guess would be 1d6 with 1-handed improvised weapons and 1d10 with 2-handed ones.
