List of Material with different rules in different sources

Hi everybody, currently the Additional Resources has multiple copies of the same item/spell/etc listed as legal from different sources.

The problem is that sometimes they don't have the same rules. To really confuse things, sometimes they are considered independent (Dueling), while other times they are not (Brass Knuckles)

While this thread won't fix any short term problems regarding which is legal, it will allow the PFS staff to eventually fix additional resources.

Please don't let this thead bog down into arguments over what is what, but instead just provide a list of the problems. The book source is absolutely necessary, and page number is probably helpful as well.

4/5 ****

Brass Knuckles
Ultimate Equipment p17 - Monks don't get unarmed damage.
Adventurer's Armory p2 - Monks don't get unarmed damage.
Advanced Player's Guide - Monks do get unarmed damage.

Sorry for the clutter, this one is actually 2 separate abilities with the same name, not a change in a rule.

Here is a link talking about that.

I don't know if this is the intent of the thread, but the celestial shield is listed as illegal in Ultimate Equipment but legal in the Advanced Race Guide.

Silver Crusade 4/5

How about different rules in the same source?

Mithral Shirt vs Mithral Chain Shirt - Don't have page numbers, since I'm looking at the PRD and don't have the book in front of me at the moment:

  • Core Rulebook, Equipment Chapter - Chain Shirt weighs 25 lbs, and making an item mithral reduces item weights in half, resulting in 12.5 lb weight
  • Core Rulebook, Magic Item chapter - Despite being non-magic, this item is listed there with exactly the same price and stats as the Equipment chapter, except with a 10 lb weight.

Mithral shields.

Making any shield out of Mithral, using the Core Rulebook, costs +1000gp.

Making any shield out of Mithral, using Ultimate Equipment, costs +1500gp.

I totally agree it's 2 separate abilities, one of the problems is at the moment there's no good way to tell which is which.

The Exchange 5/5 RPG Superstar 2010 Top 16

Are we looking to track class features, archetypes, etc? Or just equipment and spells?

5/5 5/55/55/5

As long as the archetypes are for different classes there shouldn't be any confusion.

Scorpion Whip? (between Legacy of Fire, Adventurer's Armory and Ultimate Equipment I've no idea how this thing is supposed to work)

I'm happy to have everything that's an issue.
