Please post your PFS Number, Day Job Roll, Perception and Initiative.
No problem, caps - I was the same way with The Wasp. I think I may have just hit 10, though... oh well!
We won't actually be starting until Monday at the earliest, as I have a busy weekend planned. But I wanted to let every have a place to dot in and maybe start rp introductions. Hopefully by then, you will have decided on the name.

Burning hands
Comprehend languages
Grease
Mage armor
Magic missile
Obscuring mist
Shield
Care to trade charm person, enlarge person, expeditious retreat, feather fall, sleep and true strike for grease, magic missile, obscuring mist, shield and some amount of cash?
FYI - Maranax is a stuck-up elf chauvinist who thinks he's better than all non-elves pretty much by definition.
I think they do. To be honest, this is the first session I have monitored a spell trade, but I participated in one once, and we did list it on the chronicle. And yes, you have to pay spellbook copy costs, but cannot trade gold as part of the deal. My understanding, however, is that there is no requirement for the trade to be equal - for PFS, you are simply allowing a copy or not.

Gold cannot be given by one character to another.
You can spend money to benefit another PC (e.g. paying a fine, paying for spellcasting services, buying consumables), but any items thus purchased revert to the original buyer at the end of the scenario.
You cannot simply 'give' another PC 1000gp, and have it show up on their chronicle sheet.

The confusion comes, I think, from the poor wording in the PFS FAQ:
Players are welcome to exchange spells with each other during an adventure. [...]
Similarly, scrolls found during an adventure can be used to add spells to spell books [...]. Scrolls used in this way during an adventure do not need to be purchased, but are still consumed as normal.
With either method, the GM should sign off on the spells gained (after witnessing successful skill checks) on affected players' chronicle sheets. All other methods of gaining new spells (such as by gaining a level or purchasing access to an NPC's spellbook) function as described in the Core Rulebook and relevant class descriptions.
In the rare instance of a wizard charging a fee for the privilege of copying spells from their spellbooks, this fee is equal to half the cost to write the spell into a spellbook (see Writing a New Spell into a Spellbook). Rare and unique spells do not change the fee in PFS.
The last paragraph doesn't specify *NPC* wizards, and from this discussion it sounds like it probably should.
Of course, Wilhelm is correct. From the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play (pp 22–23):
In Pathfinder Society Organized Play, you may never buy items from, sell items to, or trade items with another player. You may, however, allow another player to borrow an item for the duration of a scenario. You are also permitted to spend your character’s gold to help a party member purchase spellcasting services such as raise dead or remove disease.
In any case, it's moot here, as Thiera willingly permits a fellow elf and PFS member to scribe from her book.
Sure, no problem.
Is it safe to assume that everyone here has done the Confirmation at least once before? Any new initiates?
17?!? You may indeed have a problem... :)
Welcome, Thiera! Glad to know you are new to this - I will endeavor to make your confirmation a good one!
Well, ok then! We have a mix, so this should be good.

Thanks, Maulaxe. I missed that part when reading up on swarms. (I caught the part about half damage from slashing or piercing for "bigger" swarms (Tiny creatures), but somehow missed the next sentence for Diminutive or Fine creatues. Appreciate it.
As to Rachel's comment re competence bonuses on spells. It's generally well accepted that Point Blank Shot applies to ranged touch spells. (See, e.g., here and here). Spells with attack and damage rolls have many of the properties of weapons (and this harkens back to Complete Arcane in the 3.5 days).
Doing a search for inspire courage and weapon-like spells specifically returns a couple of discussions (the first has an authoritative quote). 1 2
Thus, I conclude that weapon-like spells (those that have an attack and hp damage roll) are modified by Point Blank Shot and inspire courage for both the attack and damage portions. In any case, it hasn't been clarified in the FAQ to my knowledge, so I understand some table variation. This is partly why I identified that portion of the roll. GM's call.
EDIT: See also the CRB FAQ re rays.

As far as not being available this weekend, given that it's an American holiday weekend I'd be surprised if anyone in the States is updating with any sort of regularity. So we'll take what we can get and be happy for it. *smiles*
*may not have an ulterior motive--the longer it takes to post, the longer it takes Etune to fall into 'unplayable' status (either dead or devastatingly diseased) =P*
Yah - sorry. Family plans have taken every available moment this weekend! I should be back to normal posting on Monday.
Sorry to hear about how busy you are, but I hope at least the new job is a good change? We are about halfway through here, so it shouldn't take too long. I can always bot you a bit if you like while you get your bearings...
I'm going to be at GenCon and largely out of contact from July 28th - August 3rd.
If you happen to be there and want to say hi I'll be the 6'4" Pirate trying to keep his sanity while mustering for the ACG in the morning/afternoon.
I'll also be at Scotty's on Wednesday and at the VC dinner. If you want to find some other time to say hi send me a PM or email and we'll figure something out.
Also going to be at GenCon, going to try and get over to Scotty's.
Chronicles are posted >> here <<.
Let me know if I made any errors or if you need anything else noted.
Great game everyone!
