You use the Inventory Tracking Sheet to track purchases of 25gp+, yes. Although if you want to track lesser purchases, that's perfectly fine.
@Valik, just so we're on the same page, it looks like for an NPC to cast Masterwork Transformation on your heirloom weapon, it's going to cost 360gp (Cost of NPC spellcaster + Material Cost of spell).
As a heads up for your purchases, the scenario awards 430gp.

I was thinking about a wand of shield or mage armor. Eventually I hope to wear better than leather, but for now does that make sense for 2PP?

Melufiuos, chainshirt will get you 2 more points of AC with minimal drawbacks.
Wand of CLW would be the single best choice for me, yeah?
Wand of CLW is usually the first choice for every character I make in PFS. Even the ones that dont casts spells. Learned that the hard way in parties without healers.

Magus don't hit as hard as others with just their weapons, but once you can use spell combat and arcane pool... that's when the pain comes down.
Level 5, your shocking grasp spell combat will do 1d6+5d6+weapon bonuses, plus a second normal attack on top of that. Not too shabby. :P
I think being in the back at early levels is not a bad choice though, especially since your spell slots are so limited. You have the ability to be pretty flexible in general.

Mmm, it can be difficult, again particularly at the low levels when you don't have too many spells to go around--and doubly so that you picked a deity whose favoured weapon, well, blows. No offense, Pharasma. ;)
Battle clerics are one definite possibility, but so too are more spellcasting focused characters. You can go full support (buffs and so forth) or more aggressive (things like command, for example). You can also do some fun things with channel energy or alternate abilities granted by archetypes. Summoning is also a definite possibility. Clerics have a lot of inherent flexibility, I find, making it hard to know what to do with them...
Your domain choices kind of suggest a 'support' type of character, but that may not be what you'd like to play either. Maybe an offensive spellcasting focused character? White necromancer, perhaps? (i.e., the non-undead-raising spells like Cause Fear for example). Once you get through the first few levels of pain, spellcasting-focused clerics can be really quite fun.

Well, Pharasma's domains make it a little harder to work with, but here are some thoughts... for either "support" or "spellcasting".
I would distinguish the two basically depending on how much you dump your physical stats. Being useless in melee puts you firmly in the spellcasting camp. You might want to pick up Use Magic Device so you can supplement your spell list with some extra fun things at higher levels. Maybe get a high Int score (14 or so) so you can grab some more Knowledge skills, Spellcraft, etc. Theologian is a fun archetype for this depending on what domains you pick.
Once you get a few levels, you can afford to have wands and scrolls of everything "circumstantial" (such as remove fear/sickness/etc, lesser restoration, daylight, yada yada) and you're thus able to fill your spell slots with cool spells. Things like burning disarm, murderous command, pilfering hand, silence, blindness/deafness, and dispel magic are all fun!
Feats should be stuff like Spell Focus (particularly Enchantment), Spell Penetration (especially in a few levels), Spell Specialization, various metamagics, etc. Essentially, pretend you're building a wizard, except you're actually a cleric. :P
Support wouldn't dump physical stats as much, but wouldn't really worry about doing too much damage. Instead, in combat, you're a flanking buddy, aid another assistant, a buff machine (cleric buffs are amazing), and a tank. I'd increase my AC as high as I could and essentially be a real pain in the arse to everyone around. Longspear might be something to consider here too.

As sidenote since you are going human Ophelia I would advise you to switch your dex with inteligence and dump the int to 7. It will make little difference on your skill points thanks to the human racial and allow a better point buy.
Morningstar and spear/longspear are the best weapons from the simple list.

Just remember in a long term group, which this seems to be, it might be easier to niche it up a bit. If we have the skills covered mostly, it won't be too harsh to lose some int, which might help us later with more heals.
Now, since a lot of us have wands already or at least some basic heals, we could just keep heal by killing the mobs faster. Works for me in my AP group. Of course, sometimes missing that divine class does hurt...like missing restoration spells.
Also, melee has it's disadvantages too. We have a few in this group, which means we have to work to get into positions.
Of course, I am very new to this whole thing, so it could be I am wrong, listen to the veterans.
All right, down to business.
I'll try to have the chronicle sheets done in the next couple of days. In the meantime, feel free to continue to think about purchases and finish any retraining you wish to do.
I'll get the thread for the Gameday scenario up after I'm done writing this so you all can dot it. We probably won't get started until Monday or Tuesday (East Coast U.S. time).
Lastly, since this is a long term, connected campaign, if the group comes up with a name for the cave, I'll be sure to bring it up in future scenarios.
Yes, everyone will be fully healed.

I dunno, mel might go for the stupid fish guy. ;)
What about "The Minotaur's Fish Hole" ?

Links to copies of your individual chronicle sheets have been sent out to the email addresses you provided me. If you have any problem with the sheets or printing them, please let me know and I'll fix the problem. If I missed something on this sheet let me know, and I'll add it to the next one for First Steps.
I'll start First Steps on Monday (Tuesday for those on the other side of the Date Line).
Once you receive your chronicle sheet, you'll probably notice that if you have not played The Confirmation before then your character will receive a wayfinder for free. Otherwise it's 1 PP. Stats for a wayfinder can be found in the PFS Guide to Organized Play.
As you collect chronicle sheet boons throughout your character's career, I would appreciate if you could list them somewhere on the character's profile, preferably under a spoiler.
The gameplay thread for the next scenario is active Here.
The gameplay thread is active once again for the Penumbral Accords. Once everyone is ready and has made an introductory post, we will move forward.
In the meantime, please let me know about any additional purchases or retraining your character might have done.
I'm assuming your PFS number is the same as before, except it's your first character now. Also, I'm assuming your faction is Andoran by the fancy icon he has.
@Halkale, The Confirmation and First Steps can be replayed as many times as you like as long as credit is given to a different character each time. I'm afraid the Wayfinder boon on the Confirmation Chronicle sheet only applies to the character that received the sheet, so Halkale would have to normal price for one (250gp).
@Valik, Sure thing, I take it then you've decided not to retrain after all?
Yes, Wayfinders are considered Always Available.
Moadis, yes you can retrain for free between scenarios until you play your first scenario at 2nd level. So after this scenario will be the last opportunity to do so.
I'm going to hold off posting until Aurelia and Ophelia are able to check in. Aurelia said she was busy with school, and Ophelia may be in a similar situation. If they don't check in by the end of the weekend, I'll send them PM's.
We can wait a couple of days if you need it, Ophelia. It's a holiday weekend in the U.S. anyway.
