Next Monday's blog is likely to make a lot of players very happy.
I'll let the hell cat out of the bag because your not in the office today Mark.
The Cheliax faction finally got enough prestidge points and we are commissioning a keen, vorpal, other faction bane, Death Star.
Payback's a biotch suckahs !!

Come back next week for a look at how to get ahead in the Pathfinder Society, or how to take your time and enjoy the scenery a bit more. Next Monday's blog is likely to make a lot of players very happy.
Sounds like there's going to be a way to vary your XP rate in order to stay lower level for longer or rise in level faster.
Though for this week's blog, I wish we could have gotten a single hard fact about Qadira's changes, even if it was small, like with the other three factions so far.

My reading sees three different references that imply Qadirans can charge for their services...
...to charge what you think you're worth for the services you provide to others.
...or at least charge your fellow Pathfinders a fee for the information you possess.
...Well, I'm not going to say. At least not for free...
--Vrock bottom prices!

Hmm, interesting. One of my players was for some bizarre reason absolutely enamored by the idea of
Granted, my only PC, though Qadiran, is likely to jump ship if any of the five new factions is more Shelyn-friendly without being overly chaotic like Andoran or seriously lawful (like if Mendev is a faction).

Still, I think that would be seen as obnoxious even if allowed "Need a CLW to be stabilized and wake up? 10 gp!"
Doesn't Abadar's faith forbid healing for free anyways?
It is so hard to feel gold-oriented in a system that forbids item creation or sale... then again, it is also rather hard to feel properly Cheliaxian in a system that forbids being Lawful Evil. At least all my "Rather close to evil but seriously, the sheet says neutral, look I just gave money to an orphan DON'T JUDGE ME" characters can still be Lawful...

I heard in Season 3, other factions will have to pay Qadiran's for to get their share of loot. :)
Sure, Taldor got tax money. Andoran's freed some slave's. Ossirian got a chronicle published with it's ancient language. Chelix of course killed the slaves.
Qadira of course profited from the sale of Magical Items or at least items made from special materials.
Go Qadira.

I go along with it. I also charge 10gp per swing of my sword. They don't have to pay if they don't want me to stop the baddies from killing them. I find I make a much higher profit that way.

I got given quite a big lecture for committing an evil act at my last con. And it was with my chaotic good Andoran to boot! Funnily enough, my "honest! I'm not evil. I'm lawful neutral. *wink* *wink*" taldan has never inspired such a strong response.

One of my players was for some bizarre reason absolutely enamored by the idea of ** spoiler omitted ** and he thought of charging other players for services, which I told him he can't do for PFS.
Hah, I did the same thing in Season 0, before it was brought to my attention that I couldn't do that. It was a nice, scam, too. I was buying Scrolls of CLW at cost and charging 35 GP for the service, saving fellow Pathfinders a whopping 15 gp off of the cost of a pointless potion. I would have made a killing, too.... If it hadn't been for those pesky kids...

Clerics and other priests of Abadar are required by their god to receive payments for spell-casting services.
Indeed, and PFS doesn't stop you roleplaying this, it's just that at the end of the adventure you ignore all monetary transactions between player characters.
What is the battlecry of a paladin of Abadar?

Heh.
My paladin/bard of Abadar was fond of bolstering his companions with a jaunty tune whose refrain was 'There's nothing wrong with reasonable taxes.' Caused numbers of raised eyebrows.

I am assuming any ability to charge PCs for services is limited to optional faction missions.
"You want help with that thing we weren't sent here to do? Sure, but it's outside our charter, so I'll have to draw up a new contract for that. Just give me one second here..."
The amount you're allowed to charge would probably also be fixed by the module, and along the lines of day-job rewards by level.

Just a heads-up: next week's PFS blog will go live on Tuesday, as no one will be in the office Monday in observance of Memorial Day, and thus won't be able to troubleshoot any issues or answer any questions regarding the news that's sure to make a pretty big splash within the Society.
For those of us at Comicpalooza we've already played The Dalsine Affair and had Hyrum debrief us afterwards (the information is just easier to process if you don't have briefs on). I'm just saying... if I knew how to use spoiler tags I might have sold the information.

You type the word SPOILER in brackets, then type your message, then type /SPOILER in brackets. Like this
You can also quote my post and look at how I did the spoilers. I was a bit fancier and typed SPOILER=message within the brackets.

Bah! You Qadirans can not even pause from counting your coppers long enough to realiize the difference between Her Imperial Majestrix, Queen Abrogail II (of who's august leadership I was speaking of) and her servant Paracountess Zarta Dralneen.
The Paracountess' flagging leadership has certainly caught the eye of our Imperious Leader ... perhaps a more competent leader (for example, my humble self) should indeed take up the Cheliax banner to bring Order to Golarion, and bring Her Majestrix opponents to heel.

Would that mean that you get to throw the parties that none of the PCs get to go to now?
