Silver Crusade

From what I can gather the Pathfinder CCG doesn't even have a forum heading on this website, though granted, it did only come out yesterday. How do people like it, so far?

I think the basic mechanics seem sound, and I like the 6-way grid positioning, though I think it could use a better interface for sliding your minions around. It could probably use a better interface in general, and the sound design sounds really cheap, here's hoping it's just placeholder.

Another thing, it's probably just because they forgot their decimal point, but what's with everything in the store costing upwards of 350 Euro? You'd think that wouldn't get past QA!

Silver Crusade 1/5

I recently concluded a scenario wherein the party Wizard got hit with Baleful Polymorph, turning him into a toad. He failed the Fort save, yet succeeded on his Will save, thus retaining his mind. We all had a good laugh, and carried on.

However, the player asked if he could remain a toad even in following adventures, and the reason seems obvious: as a Diminutive animal he gets a +6 on Dex and +1 natural armor, and only for a -2 to Strength. Since his new form does not impede him from casting spells, the enemy who cast this spell on him does seem to have only given him a net bonus to his stats.

Is there something I'm missing, or is it perfectly okay for him to remain a toad until he so wishes to have the effect dispelled?

Silver Crusade 1/5

Hello everyone! Now, I was looking through the wondrous items list today, and I came across the Robe of Infinite Twine, which states:

"This coarse hempen robe seems made from a single strand of
twine. The wearer can draw up to 30 feet of twine or up to 10
feet of hemp rope per round from the robe without harming
it. As an immediate action, the wearer can draw up to 150
feet of twine or 50 feet of rope from the robe, but this gives
the robe the broken condition and suppresses its powers until
it is repaired. Twine or rope drawn from the robe remains
connected until cut or torn, but is treated as common material
rather than part of a magic item. Pieces removed become
normal twine or rope."

To boot, this item only costs 1000 GP! I'm personally enamored by this object, but I did come to wonder, how this is PFS legal? With all of the strict anti-crafting rules in place, it seems odd that such a cheap object that can literally create an infinite amount of twine or rope gets a pass. Nevermind the fact that hempen rope only goes for 1 GP per 50 ft. and you can only sell an item for half its worth, you've already made 5 Silver in a second, and it's easy to extrapolate how crazy it could get from there.

Perhaps with a bag of holding at the ready, one could even just say "Whenever I have my hands free and not in combat, I'm drawing rope from my robe", and by the end of an average five hour scenario they could have around 7200 ft. of rope, which is only two hours straight of pulling rope out, if my math isn't shaky. That much rope comes out to 144 GP, which if sold becomes 72 free GP at the end of each session, more than you'll usually ever get for a day job, and these estimates are on the low side, I think.

Plus, all of those considerations aren't even taking into account all the mundane uses infinite twine or rope can have.

Anyway, perhaps I missed something, and I do love this item, but is there any reason this item is perfectly PFS legal?
