If I'd have known this was happening, i wouldnt have dropped all the money i did at Gen Con since im now not "Tiered in" to what i spent.

Also, the whole “Don’t worry multi-subscription customers, yes we’re taking away the Free Scenario multi-subscription incentive, but you can just use your gold to purchase the Scenarios we previously gave you for free” isn’t panning out very well. In addition to being a pain to have to go through the whole ‘exchange gold to get a code and then use that code to buy what we used to automatically add to your account for free’ process every month, the scenarios are priced such that we will either have to waste some of the scenario discount or pay money out of pocket.

Example:
-We use 50 gold to get $10 off Scenarios.
-If a scenario costs $6 (ignoring tax and discount), we just wasted $4 worth of value since apparently that unspent scenario discount doesn’t carry over to the next scenario purchase.
-If we instead order two scenarios for a total of $12, we’re paying $2 for the scenarios we used to get for free.

Never thought I’d long for the “good old days” of the mess that was the old store, but here we are. :-(

The blog they had put out specifically intended each $10 code to be for 1 society scenario. https://paizo.com/blog/introducing-paizo-plus

You’ll see that you can get a Pathfinder Society or Starfinder Society scenario for $10 off, which will make most scenarios you choose free.

Sounds like the want the value to be 50 gold = 1 scenario.

Yeah, i read the blog and did the math, this comes out more expensive, guess i can just cancel my other product lines since its not actually worth it to get the others with gold.

Not being able to use gold to pay the correct exact amount without either spending slightly more real money or wasting value is a terrible microtransaction ploy and FOMO by linking your reward tier to money spent so you are dissuaded from using said gold. not to mention the extra book keeping i have to do to buy stuff...that was the point of the subscriptions in the first place.

Not happy.

it would be easier to just do 30gp for a free Society. ignore the money off deceit

I regret buying everything i did at Gencon since it wont transfer here now

So when does the SF2E society subscription come back?

And did the discount for having multiple subscriptions go away for good?

Gotta say, the way the abilities are set up really only works for society scenarios, with once per day and a much smaller range of spread for attack and ac

Well, I gues I’ll go for 20 minute batteries and transfer charge, cheapest way to run power armor, might be even cheaper to by a vehicle to transport it

I've searched the forums and come up blank, I was wondering if a larger capacity battery can be put into powered armor.

As far as i can see, the rules talk about lower capacity batteries, but dont mention if i can use higher capacity.

Guess this "4th level effect" still isn't answered yet...

So it's long been a complaint that spell DCs lag due to metamagic. Consider an Empowered, Maximized Fireball - the caster is burning an 8th-level slot for a base save DC of 13.

But what about Heighten Spell?

A heightened spell has a higher spell level than normal (up to a maximum of 9th level). Unlike other metamagic feats, Heighten Spell actually increases the effective level of the spell that it modifies. All effects dependent on spell level (such as saving throw DCs and ability to penetrate a lesser globe of invulnerability) are calculated according to the heightened level. The heightened spell is as difficult to prepare and cast as a spell of its effective level.

Important: Note that it does not say "increase the slot by the number of levels you increase the spell." It does say that the effective level is now the level you prepared it at.

So if you now Heighten the fireball of doom, you've now got a base save DC of 18, at the same slot.

There's nothing in the RAW that says in what order you have to apply the metamagic - so I say apply Heighten last. It's not like it's game-breaking - it just means the save DCs for metamagic spells don't lag.

Well, you know the very first line says: A heightened spell has a higher spell level than normal (up to a maximum of 9th level).

so I really don't get the argument

considering the stats as piercing only and the text of muxxel load, I get the idea of a pencil shaped iron rod

I have looked around at the various bayonet threads but none of them mention whether I can use a bayonet on it own, or what it would be equivalent to.

Have I just missed some text somewhere or would it just be improvised melee at best?

can I use 1/day items that use spells to replace the wizards casting fee when crafting items I don't have the spell for?
