Can I enchant +1...+5 chainsaw in PFS? Guide says that I can do masterwork transformation , so can I enchant my chainsaw? It's not a named gear like Celestial Armor

Sovereign Court

Yes. In fact, there's a +1 chainsaw in an official adventure (you'll have to pry it out of a barbarian's hands though...)

So its normal, to limit item from Chronicle to enchant? Thanks!

You don't even need masterwork transformation.

All high-tech weapons and armor are considered masterwork for the purposes of adding magical enhancements to them (though they do not gain the other typical benefits for masterwork items).

For +2 and above in PFS though, you need enough fame to afford the full enchanted item, which is 10,700 GP or 27 fame for a +2 chainsaw.

Thank you! I'm already 8-9 level, so I want to +3, if earn gold :D


As far as I know the only way to get a chainsaw in PFS is from the Iron Gods AP, and it is timeworn. In other words it cost a lot of gold and will eventually break on you.

Dark Archive

PFS 6-17 has a timeworn chainsaw on the chronicle.

Sovereign Court

It works. I do really recommend against it, though. You're throwing good money after bad.


Yeah, timeworn items are not remotely worth the investment. While cool, it hurts your character in the long run.

"If only, if only." The adventurer cries. "My chainsaw didn't have a jammed battery insertion point."


Might consider having some wands/scrolls of magic weapon handy so the timeworn issues won't be as bad.

How would that help?

Instead of spending a ton of gold for a temp item have them to boost the chainsaw while it's still useable without dumping a massive gold sink. I could have worded that better.
