Yeah, they're under the spoiler! c:

Also, quick PSA to those of us who don't always hit the main page --

Paizo.com will be down for scheduled maintenance starting Thursday, August 10 at 9:30 AM Pacific time.

The estimated downtime will last approximately 1-2 hours.

Hey Gang --

I sent my brain ahead to GenCon to save on shipping. It seemed like a great idea at the time.

So meanwhile, if you have a burning question, need a VO call or have other problem, here are some people who can help point you in the right direction:

Is this Starfinder now? ;)

No, for Starfinder you need to move to our sister lodge: Castamir Station

The bot buddies are not nearly as sophisticated as the androids at that place :-)

With Legacy of the First World a validated source now, my Order of the Tome Cavalier is contemplating converting to the Order of the Blossom - so my question is, how does a Society Cavalier go about switching Orders? I know it's a prerogative of the class and doesn't need retraining.

Pay no attention to the bot behind the screen, citizen.

Cavaliers are allowed to switch orders? I never knew that. I would have thought that would fall under the retraining rules.

I'd recommend starting a new thread in the PFS subforum to ask about this. You're more likely to find someone with detailed knowledge of how cavaliers work in PFS that way.

A cavalier cannot change his order without undertaking a lengthy process to dedicate himself to a new cause. When this choice is made, he immediately loses all of the benefits from his old order. He must then follow the edicts of his new order for one entire level without gaining any benefits from that order. Once accomplished, he gains all of the bonuses from his new order. Note that the names of these orders might vary depending upon the campaign setting or GM's preference

Bolded the portion I found relevant. On a precursory look, I'm not seeing anything specifically changing this for Society purposes. So it appears you would need to have a GM mark on your Chronicle the change, and then wait an entire level before gaining the benefits of the new order.

I could be wrong here, but that's what I see without further research.

The FAQ doesn't have anything to add, but I didn't check the forums or blog.

I'm pretty sure (but not 100 percent) that it runs like a samurai in PFS that is changing to a different Order? There's some number of scenarios, maybe prestige or coin, and then resolution?

Ultimate campaign says that retraining your order works as set out in APG 33 and See also retraining feats.

I see nothing that would be applicable in the retraining feats part: I agree with GM RePete's assessment.

I too have had the same question in the past - and after a look at retraining, there doesn't seem to be scope (in PFS) to reset an Order.

there doesn't seem to be scope (in PFS) to reset an Order.

The "Additional Resources" explicitly says that PFS cavaliers replace Expert Trainer with Skill Focus [Handle Animal], but does not alter or remove the ability to change orders. For me, that strongly implies that this part of the class description is still available--and I would record it the way GM RePete recommends.

Point of clarification - no scope to just pay GP/PP and swap over in the 'retraining' sense, ie pay your coppers and swap on the spot with none of the penalties.

They'll never turn me into a robot... NEVER!

Until I get my own copy of the Starfinder CRB that is...

I'll be at Gen Con from Wednesday until Monday, so I won't be around much, but Subtier 10-11 can get tricky and complex VERY quickly. So if you wouldn't mind checking in, we can work towards a smooth table.

Would the following players check in to both DISCUSSION and GAMEPLAY.

Granta
Magabeus
Thereus Silver Crusader (GMErich)
Pirate Rob

So what's this about a new special to ring in Season 9? Will we get an opportunity to sign up for and play that on here?

From memory the Assault on Absalom needs to be run as part of a sufficiently sized con with RVC permission - so probably not for a long while :p

Aaaaa, this is totally random and irrelevant, but I'm super proud, so I wanna say it anyways! @_@ I'm not going to be at Gencon, but my Confirmation will! My local VL was so impressed when I ran it that he asked me to make up extra props for him (I'd made a bunch of little notes for the opening and closed 'em with a wax seal) and to borrow my maps and notes. c:

SO! I won't be at Gencon, but I'll totally be there as prep and spirit? :D <3

(Also, I'm super flattered and pleased that someone liked my kit so much!)

Congrats. I have to admit, having been playing PbP exclusively, I miss the time put into physical props, notes, maps and layouts for real miniatures in F2F games. Digital maps and notes are the best we can do in this media.

Well done!

Prepping this for GenCon. Table minimum is actually only 5. They're just super excited that we're setting a table record (188+).

It will be convention exclusive for the better part of the season however, I believe. Solstice Scar will be exclusive for a few months after initial debut of each part before being open to run anywhere that meets table minimum. (Since it 'debuted' at PaizoCon, Part A will be open after GenCon, as I understand it.)

Nicely done, Hiyami.

In case anyone has not yet noticed, the new guide is out.

Any major changes to be aware of? I glanced through it quickly and nothing jumped out.

Per the blog it was mainly an update to the visual aspect of the guide and some minor additions of the questions answered on the forums by paizo staffers.

I haven't looked it over yet, but here's what my local VL said:

• Larger, easier to read font and improved layout.
  
• Longer, more-detailed Community Standards.
  
• The "newly created" clause is gone from applying-to-first-level.
  
• Wayfinder is statted out in Guide.
  
• GM-star re-roll mistake is fixed.
  
• New section talking about ACs/Familiars/... and magic items, including the Extra Item Slot customized for PFS.
  
• Re-rolls are now explicitly once per chronicle sheet, instead of session.
  
• Longer write-up for VO descriptions.

Any sense when we should expect new Faction Journal cards?

They are up now

They're in half-sheet form only at the moment, which is mildly annoying since I strictly use the PDF, but I'll get over it.

Eh, you could always print 'em off and make the half-sheet versions? /shot

I suppose that's a question for google, though! *cue research*

I could print them, but since I only play PFS on these forums there's not really a need for it. The older ones came in full sheet form so the objectives were right under the bonuses which made it easier. I could rearrange the images with another program but I'm not sure why after 8 seasons of full sheet versions the half sheet is now the only one available.

Government cutbacks.

Even for in-person play I prefer the full page ones. I always have it sitting in a pile of 8.5x11 chronicle sheets, inventory sheets, and character sheets, so it's easier to file if they are all the same size.

Thankfully I have no characters needing the S9 sheet yet, so I'll hold out and hope they put the full page ones up.

I don't know what this may mean for any future printings, but I stopped by the Sagamore Ballroom today and all of the faction cards they had laid out for tomorrow were the half sheets.

What's that, if you don't mind me asking? Sagamore?

Sagamore Is the sagamore ballroom which is where the Pfs tables are at Gen Con

Since it seems like a popular request, I took the file and made these full sheet versions of the Faction Journal Cards for Season 9 for anyone that wants them. Let me know if anyone has issues with the link.

>>>Full sheet Faction Cards Season 9<<<

Cheers!

What are faction cards anyway? I've never seen them before.

You are my hero and a far less lazy person than me as well!

Awesome!

So many thanks.

Sir Greymore, you're an absolute hero.

hmmm No discounts for the The Exchange I see.....

JAF0 and Llama_Bill, if you missed it earlier, the thread for your Gameday table of Sewer Dragons of Absalom is here!

This is possibly a super obtuse question, but seeing as the hivemind has yet to fail me...

Someone mentioned that there's some sort of module that can potentially provide a player with an advanced firearm in PFS as a boon. Any idea what they're talking about? o:

Maybe look at the various Iron Gods chronicles.

I'm lookin' at 'em, but I'm not sure these are what he was talking about - my fiance's got a gunslinger and the dude mentioned that it was one of the only ways to get an advanced firearm for a gunslinger. @_@
