Is the Affiliation system used in Society Play? If so, do the pc's need to spend an affiliation slot on the Pathfinder society?

I can't find the reference but I am sure I read somewhere that if a pathfinder society character has a masterwork weapon or suit of armor the he or she can have it enchanted later on for just the cost of the enchantment. can then more enchantment then be added later?

example:

After say the third scenario a character has enough gold for a masterwork sword. 3 scenario's later he has saved enough to enchant that to +1. After another 3 or 4 scenarios of saving up gold, could he then add another +1 or another special ability like throwing?

even just a pointer to where to find this information would be awesome.

oh crap, sorry I thought it was in the pathfinder society forum >.<

my rogue has a dex of 19 after the stat boost. does Double Slice + Finesse Training + Off hand weapon = +2 or +4 damage per off hand attack? reddit is saying only +2 but the local PFS people are saying +4...

The Honor's Echo and House of Harmonious Wisdom scenarios both have the Impressive Find boon. My Question is, Does this boon automatically trigger at 12 fame or can it be saved and chosen at any time after 12 fame?

I tried looking for this guide as well, and couldn't find it...

I was just curious, how would a person set themselves up in the forums to show their character's faction in the pathfinder society?

I currently own the PDF's for CRB, ACG, APG, ARG, UC, UE, Unchained, and the Pathfinder Society Field guide. In Addition to my Tengu Unchained rogue, I am going to want an Alternate Character; Due to the rate of release of the PFS Season 8 adventures, the local venture captain has decided to ocasionally run a non season 8 night which will also be of benefit to those who have missed a night or 2 to catch up.

so I am wondering what PDF should I grab next?

I have a skill choice dilemma: last week I basically saved the adventure with a well timed untrained heal check. however for reasons my tengu unchained rogue is a member of the silver crusade, and the skill check goal requires diplomacy, Knowledge Religion, or Perform Oratory. so I am torn between Heal and Diplomacy. any advice? (note I have one point in diplomacy from level one already, and there is a goal that requires 4 ranks in heal, diplomacy, or knowledge religion)

Is it PFS Legal to enable the No Coin Weight option in Hero Lab?

The Quick Stow feat from Villain Codex might also help with the action economy.

According to this FAQ these rules should apply to weapon-like objects such as wands.

not sure I want to buy a Whole book for a single feat...

in addition for day job checks, I am using my Profession cooking skill for 'flavor' (pun intended), things like making jerky out of meat from dire rats... it doesn't ever actually do anything mechanically for me, just something to add some some humor... so we recently defeated an Ankheg and the DM allowed me to have harvested some of it's acid and I was wondering can someone with profession cook make a sauce out of it or something or should I give it to the character that has profession brewing? lol

If My rogue had a wand that he wanted to use on himself say wand of shield or wand of cure light wounds, Does he have to be Holding the wand and pointing it at himself or can he get away with having it on his person when he makes his Use Magic Device check? I ask because my rogue is a dual wielding rogue and sheathing a sword and drawing a wand might be long enough to result in death instead of healing...

something tells me that by the time I have banked enough prestige to buy the raise dead, day job checks will have become largely irrelevant ...

3 out of 4 weeks so far there was no caster at the table that could cast it... that's why I made sure to rank up UMD and pick it as my Clever Wordplay skill (charaisma of 8 but INT of 14...)

well my current umd is +7.... so 13 or better to activate...

I use Hero Lab to manage my character, do I just add a custom location like "Quarters in Grand Lodge" for free?

Seriously, right now my current money on my unchained rogue (~700 gold) is bumping me into medium encumberance. is there any pfs legal way to mitigate the weight at low level and fame if I want to save gold for a much more expensive item? example can I buy platinum or gems that can still be spent as currency with out loosing any value?

I just Completed another adventure and my total fame is 6 and I have yet to spend any prestige. being an unchained rogue I am very tempted by the Thieve's guild Membership vanity for 4pp. at this stage of my character's development (just hit level 2) is this a wise or unwise purchase? is there anything I should strongly consider for prestige spending or should I strongly consider just saving for anything in particular?

So where on the inventory tracking sheet does one record small quantities of fairly expensive consumeables like Potions of Cure light wounds, Alchemist's fire, Holy Water, and similar items?

Seconding the Wolf, get a masterwork weapon as soon as possible. You will most likely want to get a mithral shirt for armor, so don't bother buying anything else until then. Get two alchemist's fires, two acid flasks, and two holy waters: those will likely get you through your early levels unless you get unlucky and run into a lot of swarms. Don't bother with tanglefoot bags: they're too situational to be useful.

out of curiosity, Why a Mithril Chain shirt instead of the Darkleaf Lamellar armor?

After 2 adventures my rogue has 600 gold (spent some already on easy choices) and I currently find myself unsure if and on what I should spend some of it... the options that come to mind are a Masterwork Wakizashi (my rogue is a tengu and dual wields) for 335 gold, save as much gold as I can for Lamellar (Leather) armor made of darkleaf cloth for 810 gold (currently in normal studded leather) or hold out for magic armor or magic protection devices, or possibly alchemical weapons (alchemists fire, tangle foot bags, etc). any other options suggested would also be appreciated...

Just to be clear, I am not too concerned about the knowledge skills being class skills, though that would be nice... especially since there are other traits that appeal to me a but more, such as Muscle of the society and clever word play...

part of my considering Knowledge planes is that season 8 deals with the elemental planes...

I find that I am unfortunately second guessing my self about Knowledge skills. do I go with one of Dungeoneering or Local (rogue class skills) or do I go off the beaten path and pick something else? (the urge for knowledge (planes) is strong)

are there any throwing weapons that add dex bonus to damage in stead of strength bonus?

I am hoping you fine folks will help me brainstorm a bit on faction choice for Season 8. this is my first foray into Pathfinder Society play and am having a hard time figuring out which faction might be a flavorful fit for my character, or alternatively which faction i like.

My Character is a Tengu Unchained rogue, dual wielding wakizashi, Raised by Humans who worshiped Sarenrae, and wants to try to prove that not all tengu are greedy and selfish etc.

Please offer me your opinions on what might be a good faction choice and why. Part of my indecision stems from some of the factions having a goal to recruit an npc, but my tengu has an 8 charisma...

I am unable to afford any new books at this time.

Also im going with a Tengu so if it's a sword he can use it... but planning on wakizashi

Aside from the Unchained rogue, what are my options for a character with a good Dex bonus for ac, and can dual wield finesse weapons and is there a feat that allows the use of dex bonus for damage as well as to hit for melee weapons? My Book Access is limited to the CRB, ACG, APG, ARG, Pathfinder Unchained, Ultimate Combat, and Ultimate equipment.

I own CRB, ACG, APG, ARG, PU, UC, and UE. I cannot afford to buy any other books, especially if I want to access them in hero lab. so some of your good ideas I am unable to use...

only problem is I don't yet own the society field guide and not sure I can afford the pdf...

For my Tengu Unchained rogue, I would like to have him dual wielding wakizashi's, with the ability to use slayer's feint to be able to Two Weapon Feint with Acrobatics in place of bluff. to do this with unchained rogue alone i would not be able to get two weapon fighting until level 5 and two weapon feint would have to wait until level 7. I am looking for advice on how to get to this sooner. The best I can come up with is taking 1 or maybe 2 levels of fighter after level 2, to get the extra bonus feats. (R1, R2, F1, F2, R3 wound get me all the desired feats and prerequisites as well as double slice by level 5)

is it advisable, inadvisable, or simply my choice to take those 1 or 2 levels of fighter, and is there anyway of getting the slayer's feint prerequisite feats (acrobatic and combat expertise) so as to get slayers feint sooner? I am just looking for options and what is considered advisable and what is not for a Pathfinder Society Character.

While all intriguing options you all have helped me think even further outside the box: My Tengu Unchained Rogue Has turned his faith to Sarenrae, and has joined the Silver Crusade.

I am trying to choose both a deity and a faction. for my Tengu Unchained rogue that is at least slightly thematic, not terribly concerned about religion traits as there are plenty of other traits that interest me more. Part of this character's motivations is to prove that not all Tengu are "scavengers and irrepressible thieves" and that some that turn to the life of the rogue can do so for something other than greed.

So what are your opinions on possible faction choices and Deities for this character? the obvious faction choice given the Tengu history of being enslaved would be liberty's edge but I am not so sure i want to go with that obvious choice... I need help. Please :)

can someone direct me towards any unchained rogue class guides? or any info on a character plan to some how manage to add a few extra feats?

I am Considering My first Pathfinder society experience starting with Season 8 when it starts up Locally. Other than the brief mention of the elemental planes in the brief description of the current PFS Roleplaying Guide, is there any info available to all society players prior to the start of the season that might help character generation choices?
