Make whole can fix destroyed magic items (at 0 hit points or less), and restores the magic properties of the item if your caster level is at least twice that of the item.
A default +5 holy sword has caster level 15 (Holy is CL7 < 5*3)
Meaning to have it made whole requires CL 30, which costs 600gp.
PFS does not require you actually figure out who in the world can do that, you just pay it and are fine.

And isn't even neccesary in pfs. You beat up the paladin and the society, commie dystopia that they are, just hands you money loosely based on how valuable that sword was.
I'm surprised there aren't more scenarios where we're beating up pallies...
|
As a note if for some reason the Pathfinders did not pay to have the item made whole, I would cross it off the chronicle sheet and subtract appropriate gold for it.
Is that how it's supposed to be done? If so, would you mind showing where in the rules it says so? It'll be helpful information to have in the future.

I'm not 100% sure I'm doing this right (it's only come up once) but I took some time this evening to look it up and came up with the following:
Step 7: Cross out any treasure items the party didn’t find in the scenario and mark any special boons the players did or did not earn
Also
If during a scenario you find the +1 frost longsword from the example above and decide to use it until the end of the adventure, but then you get disarmed or it gets sundered, you are still able to buy that item off the Chronicle sheet at the end of the scenario
Also
If gear you have found but not yet purchased is sundered or lost during a scenario, you may still acquire it when purchasing items at the end of a scenario.
I'm now less sure of my answer but I'm not convinced its wrong.
The issue is when do you find the treasure? I like to think you find the magic sword once you've taken it from the bad guy, but one might reasonably rule you find it when you encounter them.
Since a destroyed item is worth 0 and doesn't show up on the chronicle sheet, if that's what you find and bring back, you get nothing for it. (Almost always worth making whole)
If bad things happen to it after you find it no problem.
Is there anything I'm missing here?
Item Value
Items must be purchased at full value. You can’t buy broken weapons or armor;
So no buying +10 destroyed swords for 0 and having them made whole.

Your position requires you ignore these quoted sections.
Sundered/Fireball-ed/Destroyed items currently do not need to be repaired unless part of the Primary or Secondary success conditions (e.g. Bring that book to us and the book burned during a fireball.)

I get distracted for a weekend and we bring sundering into my awesome information thread?
Time to get this fun bus back on track.
There's an item called Magnetist's Gloves that allow your character to disarm 3 times per day at a range of 30 feet, for the low price of 6,000 gold. Combo this with a casting of true strike (because we all remember that combat maneuvers require attack rolls), and even your STR 7 wizard can be disarming fighters from range*, much to their (and your GMs) surprise!

Those gloves are less exciting when you have a couple slots of pilfering hand prepped. ;)

Oh, here's one that I can't believe I haven't already posted:
Burst of radiance. It's a spell from Champions of Purity, and it's on several spell lists.
Long range.
10ft-radius burst of light.
Reflex save or be blinded for 1d4 rounds.
And if you're evil, you take 1d4/level of untyped damage with no save.
The damage only works on evil targets, and it caps at 5d4—great candidate for Intensify Spell, though!
Oh, and the best thing is that it has the [good] descriptor, so finally there's a cool toy that the good guys can use while the Asmodeans look on, instead of vice-versa.

Somethings I have additionally learned:
1) Fighters that take the whole sundering feat tree, (Improved Sunder, Greater Improved, and Sundering Resolve) are smart and clever players. So long as they know the rules about sundering. :)
2) Players who can take a pregen and make it their own character, are players you want to keep in your communities because they are creative, and make the most of the resources they have. (which have gotten better. But are not that great.)
3) Our Paizo Boards are a trap for internet trolls. Proceed through them with caution.
4) At the end of the day, our community is awesome. Stick to the awesome parts of it, and whatever drama comes, they will roll off your back.
5) Always update your ITS. Especially when you run out of Antitoxin.

I think I might have a new "toy" to play with... so many good 2nd level spells... not enough slots. Maybe that'll be my new goal for a bonded item. Instead of getting a Ring of Invisibility at 1/2 cost, I could get a Ring of Wizardry II for 20,000gp. Just need to do about 5 more scenarios, saving all the way, and it is MINE! MINE I tell you!!!
Bwah ha ha ha ha!!!!
Damnit... my damned infernal blood is showing again.

Cool spell. Another toy I'll have to think about. Even if I've been known to thank the Prince of Law on occasion (once a Chelaxian, aways a Chelaxian?).
Since, of course, you don't have to worry about those silly little alignment restrictions if you gain your power honestly, through your great wits and studies... not have it handed to you from some higher (or lower) power.
I'm still never summoning a babau. That'd just be wrong. A Vrock or three, on the other hand... summon them, just to watch 'em dance!!!

That's excellent, Jiggy -- I hadn't seen that spell before!
RE magnetist's gloves & pilfering hand: That's right! I guess these gloves would be better put to use on any straight BAB character that doesn't normally disarm then, since the PC would most likely be out of melee range for the AOO the disarm provokes. I'd be neat to have another option on those AM BARBARIAN cookie-cutter characters.

Champion of Irori is one of the coolest prestige classes out there, for flavor and interesting abilities. One of them is the ability to use 2 Ki points to use a Smite Evil/Chaos.
However, a single magical item makes that even better: The Ring of Ki Mastery. When fully charged, it allows you to use Ki abilities at -1 Ki point cost (to a minimum of 1). So now every Ki point you have is an extra Smite Evil/Chaos. So unless it's a truly neutral being or non-sentient... you're probably going to be able to smite ALL the things!

Fate's Favored is a nice trait.
Add in a Silver Spindle Ioun Stone, which gives 3/day a 1st level cleric, druid, or wizard spell as a SLA. This scales with your HD. So at level 9, this gives you a +4/+4 luck bonus to attack/damage.
Though the stone costs 21k, it is a big boost to damage.
I have a healing halfling paladin with Fate's Favored and the Adaptable Luck trait; I plan on getting other fun luck bonuses as I can just for the shenanigans involved. This includes the Symbol of Luck, Jingasa of the Fortunate Soldier, and perhaps a Stone of Good Luck.
Urban Barbarians Are a great addition to a Dex based class. you get to temporarily add +4 dex to your stats. Awesome for gunslingers.
A great way in PFS to get proficiency with a weapon that isnt exotic is too take the Heirloom Weapon trait. Later on Masterwork Transformation it, then pay the cost in upgrading it to a +1,+2 or so forth. You now you have a +1 weapon you a proficient with but not normally.

My witch has 5 ring slots! 3 of which can be active at any one time.
Meridian Belt + Hand of Glory.
The Meridian Belt lets you wear a magic ring on each foot. Only two of the four rings can be active. As a swift action you can change which two rings on your hands and feet are active.
The Hand of Glory turns your neck slot into another ring slot. Plus it lets you case see invisibility and daylight each once per day.

Equipment and anything a druid holds merges with them when they shapeshift. For safe macguffin transport, hand it to the druid and have them shapeshift. You can literally only get it off of their dead body.
Also very useful for taking weapons/armor/spell pouches/divine focuses/explosives into areas where they would normally be frowned upon. No-one expects your party's adorable little kitten friend to be packing heat in the bathhouse.

Does the weight go away, or stay? I can think of one scenario where the party is tasked with transporting a 100 pound box around for the whole time.

A similar trick for summoners is to give the macguffin to their eidolon, then dismiss it; resummoning it later as needed to retrieve the item.

Did they ever figure out if stuff the eidolon carries goes with the eidolon or drops to the ground?

Good point. Do summoned eidolons come with all their armor and gear removed? As I GM, I always allowed the eidolon to come "gear equipped." So if this is the case, then allowing them to take carried items isn't much of a stretch.
I really never played a summoner or looked in to it, so this is a genuine question.

Getting back on track...
Most people use true strike purely for the "if I don't roll a 1, then I hit" effect, but the +20 on your attack roll can be more meaningful than that:
Bull rush (and a couple other maneuvers) care not only about whether or not you beat the target number, but by how much. Thus, if you use true strike on a bull rush and roll decently, you can launch your enemy as much as 20ft further than you're normally capable of.

This is quite true... I recently activated a spell stored true strike on my foehammer, then knocked a creature a good 30 or 40 feet out to sea on the next turn.

I don't see how it would. You're dismissing the demon and the sword does not belong to the demon. Anything the demon brought with him from his home plane would go back, but the +2 flaming greatsword belongs to this plane, and can't be dismissed from it.If you gave a summoned demon a +2 flaming greatsowrd and then dismissed it, wouldn't the sword stay behind?I'd rule the sword went with them.
Possession is nine tenths and all that. I'd also rule that the sword goes with the demon.
Items don't have home planes. Otherwise dismissal would allow someone to target an item, which it does not.
