Hello fellow Pathfinders,

I've been away from Society play (and play in general) for about a year and am trying to get caught up on my society guides. is there a place i can get older versions of the society guides? I am missing season 6's guide. the only version i can get (that i'm aware of) from my paizo download section is version 7.0.

any help is appreciated.

Hello all,

I'm hoping to get some guidance on one of my first attempt at GMing. I ran the Pathfinder Society: Kid's Track a while back. From reading here and there online I've come to understand that the players themselves don't get credit in PFS for playing, but I, as a GM, can get credit for it.

My question is how do I document the running of the Kid's track and apply it to one of my PFS characters? I think I've figured out the online side on applying the credit (seeing as one of my characters has the Kid's Track reflected in the sessions section), but I don't have any kind of paper documentation to attach to my character as proof/evidence... Is there anything out there for GMs? How would I document that in the event my char ever gets audited at a table?

any info is appreciated.

Is there an official PFS Oracle pregen out there anywhere? I downloaded the pregen file from http://paizo.com/pathfinderSociety/playerResources but didn't see oracle in there. is it being reworked? left out accidentally? or is there not one? Are there any other pregens that were left out I've not found yet? I'm trying to get all the pregens I can printed and in my PFS binder in case they're ever needed during a game day...

thanks

Given: A bloodrager with the Abyssal bloodline gets two claw attacks(su) at first level.

Questions:
1. does this meet the Beastial Aspect (su) requirement of gaining natural attacks from a polymorph spell?

2. if question 1 is true, at 4th level, would this then increase the claw damage from 1d6 to 1d8?

3. if question 1 is true, and the question 2 damage increase takes effect, would the claw damage then increase again to 2d6 if/when the bloodrager enlarges with the demonic bulk ability?

Thanks for any input. just trying to see if my interpretation is correct and planning my bloodrager abilities

I played a PFS game over the weekend thinking it was slated for level 1 characters. somewhere I missed the memo that the scenario had changed to a different one of lvl 7. The GM allowed me to play a lvl 7 pregen and said I could apply the credit to a new character (with a 500gp earned cap) or hold it for one of my existing characters and apply it when they hit level 7. (confirmed in the PFS guide)

I opted to apply the credit to the new character that I'd intended on playing that day. where my question comes up is on the gold and how to spend it. I had already selected the equipment for my character using my initial allotment of 150gp. I now have an additional 500gp to spend. My question is can I pool this gold into a 650gp total and spend it that way? or do I need to keep the equipment I'd selected already and sell/add on with the 500gp I got?

My main concern is I had selected Scalemail worth 50gp as my starting armor with the intention of upgrading when i had more funds. This would have entailed selling the scalemail for 25gp and purchasing the breastplate for 200 gp. Just trying to figure out how to account for this transaction.

Option 1:
Buy Scalemail... -50
Sell Scalemail... 25
Buy Breastplate..-200
Total transaction cost -225gp

Option 2:
Buy Breastplate...-200
Total Transation cost -200gp

While this is only a 25gp savings in this one instance it's still 25gp at level 1 and other similar transactions can occur.

So ultimately my question is:

1. Pool funds and spend from a 650gp budget?

2. spend from my initial 150 gp budget and sell/buy upgrades with my 500gp earnings.

I'm leaning towards pooling and spending from a 650gp budget, but wanted to verify the "legal and ethical" aspects of doing so in PFS play.

I'm considering a Tiefling Bloodrager as my next Society character, but had a question regarding some Natural Attacks. I'm planning on taking the Maw or Claw Alternate Racial Trait for the bite attack that deals 1d6 points of damage. This attack is a primary natural attacks replacing the spell-like ability racial trait. At level 1, the Bloodrager (Abyssal) gets Claws (Su): At 1st level, you grow claws. These claws are treated as natural weapons, allowing you to make two
claw attacks as a full-attack action using your full base
attack bonus. These attacks deal 1d6 points of damage
each plus your Strength modifier.

My question is, what would my attack modifier be for these attacks since the Maw is a primary natural attack and the claws are at full base attack bonus...

Assuming 16 STR (+3 to attack) and +1 BAB I'm figuring:

Claw 1: +4 to hit for 1d6+3 dmg
Claw 2: +4 to hit for 1d6+3 dmg
Bite: +4 to hit for 1d6+3 dmg

Is this an accurate calculation? or would the bite be reduced to:

Bite: -1 to hit for 1d6+1 dmg? (-5 to hit for a secondary attack? and 1/2 STR damage for the bite?)

Also, would this be the damage and to hit calculations if using bite in addition to a normal melee attack with a weapon?

Any and all input appreciated...

Hello all,

I've been scouring the SRD for a while trying to determine whether or not there is a feat or skill check or something that could be used by a PC to entice enemies to attack them vice other PCs. I thought the feat Taunt would be what I'm looking for, but it's designed for small characters and demoralizes them where I want the enemies to attack the taunter and not be demoralized or attack other PCs.

any insight would be welcome.

I'm new to Pathfinder, but a veteran of D&D 3.0 and 3.5 I'm trying to get into Pathfinder and am in the process of character creation and feat selection.

The main quesion I have now regards Attacks of Opportunity and Tripping.

In 3.5 if you attempted to trip with a weapon with the trip ability it specifically stated you were not subject to attacks of opportunity even if you didn't have the Improved Trip Feat. I can't find anything in the Pathfinder SRD to indicate whether or not the same holds true for Pathfinder or not.

I have my fighter (non-human) equipped with a Guisarme (has reach) and Heavy Flail. both weapons have the trip ability.

1. If i attempt a trip with the Guisarme (has reach) without the Improved Trip feat, am I subject to an AOO?

2. If i attempt a trip with the Heavy Flail without the Improved Trip feat, am I subject to an AOO?

Trying to determine if I want to take Improved Trip at first level (have already selected Combat Expertise) or take Combat Reflexes (I have a +3 DEX bonus) at first and take Improved Trip as my 2nd level Bonus Feat.

and regarding Combat Reflexes, I'm curious if i'm reading the description correctly. the SRD states that "You may make a number of additional attacks of opportunity per round equal to your Dexterity bonus" the key word I'm picking up there is "additional" does this mean that if i have a +3 mod to DEX that I will get a total of 4 attacks of opportunity per round? e.g. I still get my normal 1 AOO, but also get 3 "Additional" AOOs due to my +3 Dex bonus?

In 3.5 it was you can take a number of AOOs "equal" to your Dex Mod. just trying to figure out if this is a tweak between the two systems.

Thanks for any answers you all can provide.
