Thanks for the answer!

Hello,
I am a new PFS player and also GM and have some players at my table that are soon going to level up to 3rd level.

So do I have to write feats or class options chosen by players on the chronicle sheet when they level up as they are not able to rebuild anything (without using retraining rules, gold and PP)?

I am asking because I just GMed outside of my home group and I did not see any feat or class options on the players' chronicle sheets.

But how should I as a GM audit a character when I only see XP / PP progression on the chronicle sheets? Players could have completely rebuilt their characters from a Wizard to a Fighter and the chronicle sheet does not give anything for me to be able to audit that.

Or do I have to upload the character sheet of my players somewhere on the Paizo website so that it is obvious what their character looked like when they played the first time on 2nd level?

Thanks a lot!

Hi,
so I have a question related to this post. So one of my players wants to use the 2nd level spell "Alter Self" to assume the form of a Sewer Troll that has 10 ft reach with its two natural claw attacks and additional perks like scent, darkvision, and lowlight vision.

To be honest I do not feel comfortable to allow a character to just assume any humanoid form just because the player has checked every humanoid race to identify the races with the best mechanic benefits.

So based on your suggestions to identify the type/subtype of the creature, what DC would you use so the character knows which benefits a certain humanoid race (or other monster if other polymorph spells are used) provides, e.g. number of attacks, movement, vision, special senses?

Thanks

To be honest I do not feel comfortable to allow a character to just assume any humanoid form just because the player has checked every humanoid race to identify the races with the best mechanic benefits.

So I am asking for knowledge(local) checks. The DC is clear with CR of the creature + 10 (or 5 or 15 depending on how common the race is).

RAW it sais "For every 5 points by which your check result exceeds the DC, you recall another piece of useful information."

So if the player wants a certain common CR1 race because of it swim speed and darkvision, could I ask for a DC 21 (10 base + 1 for CR + 5 for swim + 5 for darkvision) so that the character knows about this race?

This methodology can be applied to other polymorph spells although it gets more and more difficult when the CR increases.

What do you think of this methodology? Do you use another methodology or can you think of another way?

Thanks a lot!
