I broke the final encounter with Puzzle Box, GM rule he’d do a full withdraw rather than fight at the staggering penalty I inflicted. Cost us a few items and a lot of gold

Tempted to sell the spell out of the book now

I personally, asisde from my one character who isn't a Soverign Crown face (she's a 'privateer'), have seen little to no benefit with the 'you get this x' as the final outcome. By the time most of the Crown types get to the a reasonable level of goals (unless they are just starting), they already have it..

I know for my currently crowns, only one has one of those skills at less than 15.

I imagine that results might vary

I was kind of curious about this, particularly since the Enchanting Courtesan gets a similar ability at 3rd level:

Master Poisoner (Ex) At 3rd level, a poisoner can use Craft (alchemy) to change the type of a poison. This requires 1 hour of work with an alchemist’s lab and a Craft (alchemy) skill check with a DC equal to the poison’s DC. If successful, the poison’s type changes to contact, ingested, inhaled, or injury. If the check fails, the poison is ruined. The poisoner also receives a bonus on Craft (alchemy) skill checks when working with poison equal to 1/2 her rogue level. This ability replaces trap sense.

It's in the same level raneg,you get it around the same level with same effect and the Poisoner Rouge gets it at 3rd level

It's locked out. You're allowed to finish if you started before it was complete and get chronicle credit, but if you had not started then you were locked out.

So this is worse than the old faction missions that were cross-purposes, then?

Or the updated season goals (sovereign crown) that are mostly useless?

I do recall the cross purpose goals and they could cause some real nasty table experiences. I miss the old faction missions...till these are brought up.

Well it's totally useless for 3 of my 5 sovereign crown characters

I literal can do more with a 'take 1' for each skill for each of them, and the pirate queen unbreakable who is least skilled..can do so with two skills

It went from being useful to a skill, to being totally useless

Not terribly upset that I lost the card now..l had it on my tablet and it got wiped

Hmm.. did I misunderstand Practiced diplomat? I thought it was the minimum roll you added to your skill but if it's the minimum skill check..it's a waste given I'm in the 32+ Range with a 'take 1' On diplomacy

They made official clarification soon after the cards were published that it's the minimum result.

The minimum roll would make it really good, being able to roll and have a min result be a take 10 or better would be really awesome.

And that's why it's viewed so bad, most if not all the skills on there are going to be higher than that if they are trying to be a real member and thus a waste. It's only real benefit is the 5 cha dwarf that wants to auto-aid on the skill with no ranks into it.

Whereas the lowest I can make on the skill rolls I make On that list is matching fr k(nobles). Everything else is nearly mid-20s or higher. Sigh.. totally useless

Cloren shook her head and replied back in Thassalonian.

[spoiler=In Thassalonian]"Not quite, the Society did recover some small magics from Lady's Light besides me, but the notes on Sin Magic were found by my mentor's mission. She and a few others killed a newly awakened Rune Lord and the Society got the books and lore he had in the hidden vault."[spoiler]

She looked over the gun and nodded, several of her team members in past missions. The weapons were remarkable though she found them noisy and smell. Then again, she reminded herself as she continued concentrating on the dancing light figure, which if you looked at it right seemed to have a fox's tail.

"You have to admit it is a remarkable application of alchemy and metallurgy. The wisdom of Arkenstar and their allies in curtailing production shows wisdom." She smiled wickedly at the hostess, her eyes twinkling at the young woman, as is she knew exactly what use the woman had for men. "I find many people enjoyable, on many levels; Callistra says to embrace ones lusts..and I do enjoy mine." She winks to both the woman and the Lord she was talking with.

"There are several craftsmen and women in the city skilled in the artisan skill of gun crafting. Kyrie Ebonblade is an excellent gunsmith, and gifted alchemist, her bullets are amazing some say. Borgan McCracken, known to those in the society as 'Boomstick', or 'the Death of Valsin'" Her chuckle was musical. "He's known for his.. creativity. He carries a trio of pepperbox pistols of his own make, an axe musket and a blunderbus of some artistry. If you find him.. sober, he could be commissionsed. "

"The society found me, wrapped in preserving magics, inside a marble casket in Varisia. They brought my senseless body to Magimar first, then to Absalon. I.. woke up on the way to the city." She smiled as a figure of light formed in front of the, a dancing light spell. Though she had made no clear motions or spoke any words.

'I don't know who I was before I woke, but the society offfered me resources to discover who I am." The figure started to since a soft haunting song of pure melody, again with no gestures or power words as she spoke. "I am a mistress of Runelord magic.. " She smiled appealing at him, as if to have him guess which school. "And a courtesan of no small skil."

"A pleasure to meet you Lord Haywood, and I've met your charming wife. The Blakros and I.. we've enjoyed one another's company several times. Luckily I've avoided the engagements of the Blakros men and women to date." She smiled teasingly at him. "I feet I'm too much a student of the Savored Sting to fall to monogamy."

Her violet eyes twinkled at him as she sipped her drink, clearly she knew a lot about him.

"I follow the affairs of many within the society, and outside as well. I like to think of myself as a.. well knowledgeable women about the affairs of people." She purred as is she knew him completely already.

"I have, jokingly, been referred to as Ambrus' spymistress." She added. "My magic is a mere bonus but that is what got me sent into the mountains of Tien to retrieve the largest diamond I had ever seen.

Cloren kept quiet as she let the others regale them with stories of their tales of adventure and hijinks. She had just arrived back from her won adventures and was just curious to see how other members of the 'Crown'' were doing. She sipped her champagne and winked at Lord Haywood's wife, she was well acquainted with the Blakros family and was still pondering several proposals from the younger members of the family. Giving up her name for theirs was sticking point with her, that and monogamy.

She enjoyed hearing stories of other places.

A well dressed teen herald steps in, bows and sweeps a hand to indicate the approaching woman garbed in high fashion of the most current style in Absalon.

"The Lady Cloren Chenossa. Mistress of the Silken Salon, Lady of Absalon. A wave of her stopped the titles as she walked forward with a well dressed man and woman accompanying her.

"Good evening Lady Vulpina, always a pleasure to see the nobility moving about and taking a role in things, being a leader in the Society." She puts out a hand and is handed a small pouch of tea in a silk bag. "A gift, from your homeland I believe."

Knowledge (Local) DC: 10

As far as I can tell I'm playing the only Enchanting Courtesan out there, at least the only Thessalonians Specialist (Lust)/Enchanting Courtesan. Kind of fun to get 14-15 skill points/Level. "You can afford ten ranks in Craft (Alchemy) Me: Level up, add Cunning to Fears 'Now I can...'

Almost fun as doing D.C. 26+ diplomacy checks with a 'take 1' (depends on modifiers in place, she rules human nobles/officials in Absalon)

I don't get the hate over the 12th level power

Given as an Encanter (Thessalonians's Spec) 8/Enchanting courtesan 2.. I can pretty much do that within Divination/Enchantment spells and thanks to Conceal/Improved Conceal spell all other spells.

Given I get something like 14 skill points/level as an EC it is quite easy to pull in the skills to make GMs grind their teeth. But I got lots of buffs to make my 'lust lord' a very effective face.

Obviously the time where the guy tried to Sleight of Hand a horse. and succeeded.

Is that a horse in you pants or are you REALLY happy to see me?

hmm....list of affected PFS legal Prestige classes (as per archives of nethys)

Arcane Archer
Daivrat
Dragon Disiple
Eldrich Knight
Holy Vindicator
Master Chymist
Mystery Cultist
Nature Warden
Pathfinder Savant
Rage Prophet
Riftwarden
Skyseeker
Storm Kindler
Tattooed Mystic
Winter Witch

And that's it. Kinda a short list. As written, doesn't look like it applies to classes that have only the option to gain spellcasting levels through another ability, like the Living Monolith with Ib Stone or Pathfinder Field Agent with Greater Casting.

Missed Enchanting courtesan

Though I'm more disgruntled about the loss of the Thassolonian Spell Opposition feat

By which I mean are there anymore Enchanting Courtesans?

I just retrained my Lust Wizard/Sorcerer into a Lust Wizard/EC and got my first level going and was curious to see what suggestions other players playing with the PRC in question are doing in PFS play?

I know I broke one GM at HurriCon with my Enchantress (Lust Thassalonian) at the special. (not really but Charm Monster is sooooooo much fun...)

I'm kinda curious how folks are using the classes 'hide spells' (of enchantement/divination) and poison usage. I am actually surprised how many skills points I get now..but more curious to see if there are other tactics to play with that others might have encounters.

The thing I look for most is.. the Weapon Training options in Blood and three of the prestige classes (Brewmaster most significantly) and the Thassalonian feat for my lust wizard/enchanting courtesan.

Hey folks, we've had a significant and unforeseen outage for a while now, so we've been focusing on the top-line job descriptions: namely getting the December scenarios to you and ensuring the rest of the production schedule stays on track. We'll be addressing Additional Resources soon after we're back in the office following a modest holiday break. Thanks for your patience.

Dozens of green glowing eyes peer out of the dark, waiting for the blood of beasts

Beware of the one in the Pink Bow John..

Well, in the next level or so, my Lust Wizard will be making Still/Silent Charm Person as a go to spell for social encounters. :D

Looking forward to it.. be nice to not have the +4 (or higher) for apparent spell casting.. some of my GMs have a very loose of 'in combat'.

Of course 4 charm monsters breaking a special might have something to do with that locally

The trait was a large consideration for many Jingasa builds. The trait itself hasn't been altered yet.

I have two as yet I played GM babies with it. Neither were Jingasa build. A warpriest an a bloodrager

I’ll need to wait until next week to change the original post, but I can inform folks of the following considerations.

Amulet of Mighty Fists: You might have purchased brawling armor and foregone an amulet of mighty fists—perhaps even purchased a different neck-slot item. If you had brawling armor, you may also sell back a neck-slot item you have at full price so long as the intention is to purchase an amulet of mighty fists or similar unarmed-strike-augmenting item. You may also sell back your character’s most recent purchases, but only enough to afford an amulet of mighty fists +1.

Fate’s Favored: Characters with this trait may replace it with another valid trait. If you acquired the trait by means of the Additional Traits feat, you may instead retrain that feat.

Master of Trade (vanity): If you sold back an item whose price you augmented with this vanity or another discount ability, you gain a single additional use of that ability that you must use before the end of your next adventure; if you do not use it by then, the additional use is lost. The maximum discount you can receive on this purchase is equal to the amount you saved on the original item's market price (e.g. 3,000 for a staff of the master).

See many of you at PaizoCon!

Dare I ask what is happening to Fates Favored?
