Hello,

I received the wrong product on my recent order (36262144).

I was supposed to receive Starfinder AP # 34, but instead I received Pathfinder AP # 161.

Can I make an exchange for the correct book?

I had sent an email 10 days ago, but have not received a response.

Thanks!

I'm just checking to see if the order has a any problems holding it back.

Thank you for your time!

On this order there is a note saying, "Waiting for backordered product(s)."

I was curious as to which item was back ordered? I did not see a mention of any delayed items in the sticky thread.

Thanks for your help!

Part of my order still shows pending, and I was curious about the status of it.

I have received all of my order except for the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Rise of the Runelords Base Set.

The shipping notice did indicate that my order was being shipped in two packages.

Background: I am GM'ing a Shattered Star campaign, and I am adding a Cloistered Cleric Party Companion NPC to help with knowledge skills, translations, and healing. Ultimate Campaign just arrived, so I thought I'd give the character a drawback. I then noticed an interesting interaction between the Drawback Meticulous and the Cloistered Clerics's Breadth of Knowledge. I am of two views on this interaction.

My question: Does the Drawback: Meticulous affect normally disallowed Untrained Skill Checks granted by a Class feature such as the Cloistered Cleric's Breadth of Knowledge?

The applicable rule text:

Breadth of Knowledge: At 1st level, a cloistered cleric gains a bonus on Knowledge skill checks equal to half her class level (minimum +1) and can make Knowledge skill checks untrained.

Meticulous: You plan and prepare everything in detail, and aren't good at improvising when things don't go as planned. You take a -2 penalty on skill checks for skills with which you are untrained.

**

VIEW 1: Yes. Breadth of Knowledge simply makes knowledge skills like climb or stealth. If you don't have a rank in the skill, it's untrained. -2 to the skill check. A drawback is a drawback.

VIEW 2: No. A class feature like Breadth of Knowledge is a kind of training, since normally you wouldn't be allowed to make an untrained knowledge skill check at all! The drawback shouldn't negate a class feature like that.

Normally, I would probably go with view 1 if one of my players mentioned it; however, this NPC's purpose is to be a non-combat knowledge monkey. I am going with view 2 for this NPC. In a couple of levels, the question won't matter anyway.

I'm mostly asking to see how different GM's would rule on this. What is your view on the matter? A related question, how often do you GM's bend the rules a little for an NPC?
