This came up in a game I recently played: a newly-leveled Lvl 3 Pistolero Gunslinger was in melee range of an enemy who stood from prone. Since the gunslinger had the grit to spend on a pistol-whip deed, he wanted to take an attack of opportunity. The GM let him, but as a GM myself, I was hoping to get clarification on this. Does a gunslinger with this deed threaten in melee? Can he or she then be used for flanking? Can he or she make attacks of opportunity (using the pistol-whip deed, at regular grit cost)?

I recently came across this question from a player, and did not see anything relevant when I did a search here, so here goes:

In the Pathfinder Society Field Guide, Andoran faction members can buy the Gray Corsair prestige award:

Gray Corsair (Fame 40, 2 PP, Eagle Knight) You serve

aboard an Andoren naval vessel, and gain a +3 bonus on
Profession (sailor) checks made while you serve on any
Andoren vessels.

Also in that book, any player can use prestige to buy a ship:

Ship (10 PP): You own a maritime vessel that you use

for trade, transport, or military purposes. This ship
comes complete with a crew and earns enough money
through normal operation to be self-sustaining, but isn’t
necessarily profitable on its own. Whenever you require
passage at sea, you may choose to take your vessel instead
of an unfamiliar ship hired by the Society to deploy you and
your party. You gain a +2 circumstance bonus on Profession
(sailor) checks and it becomes a class skill for you. You may
use Profession (sailor) checks to make Day Job rolls.

For the purposes of Day Job rolls, do these stack? Does an Andoran player's personal ship count as an Andoran vessel?

Personally, I think it would, but there has been some question as to whether the wording in Gray Corsair is intended to mean Andoran government/military vessel, not just a personal ship flying the Andoran flag.

Forgive me if this has already been covered elsewhere on this site - I searched, but didn't find anything relevant.

How does a Cavalier mount behave after its rider has gone unconscious, but remains in the saddle?

I've just started DMing a Kingmaker game, and one of my players is a Cavalier. During the first session, his character was knocked unconscious, but managed to stay in the saddle. The player believed that, since Cav mounts are the equivalent of Druid animal companions, and since the last command he'd given to his mount was to attack this one particular foe, that it should keep attacking.

I ruled that the Cav's commands were via reins, knees, and shifted weight (which afaik is how one controls a horse in RL), and so when he went unconscious, his body was flopping around, giving the horse all kinds of mixed signals, and thus I had the horse leave combat.

Is there an "official" way to handle this situation?
