How are people handling the arrow slit-style windows that are found all around the exterior of the surface level? I was originally going to run them as the small windows that they are, but I'm concerned that the players will spend the first session walking around all the external walls and looking in to see all the encounters beforehand, which doesn't feel particularly exciting.

The Hide action results in a form of Hidden that breaks "if you do anything except Hide, Sneak, or Step." Unsteady requires an Interact action to be taken before firing or else suffer a penalty, which would cause the character to stop Hiding. This makes it difficult to take advantage of the Sniper weapon trait. This would also affect Way of the Sniper Gunslingers, who will need to spend an action re-Hiding before firing to take advantage of One Shot, One Kill or face a penalty when using the Arquebus.

A couple of crafting related questions, the answers to these may be in the Guide to Play but I couldn't find them.

1) Does having access to an Uncommon item also include access to its formula? If not, is there currently any way to gain access to Uncommon formula?

2) A number of magical items require the Supply of a spell. In a traditional game the party casters can help out with these during their own Downtime, but with PFS Downtimes being handled individually does this mean characters can only utilise spells they could Supply themselves? And if so, would Trick Magic Item function as a potential workaround for non-casters?

With the addition of the free Recall Knowledge, this Feat isn't terrible, but unlikely to really be worth a Class Feat.

I wonder if this would be better placed as a Skill Feat, giving skill focused characters a way to provide a cheap buff to the party and rewarding some focus in Recall Knowledge skills. Depending on power level wanted it could be tuned to either work with Automatic Knowledge/Dubious Knowledge or not with minimal issue.

We're putting together a party for Iron Gods, and as it seems everyone else is forming the Brute Squad, it will fall to me to cover both healing/buffing and debuffing. Shaman seems a solid fit for that role, and being Samsaran should help with fixing gaps in the spell list.

I'm still trying to come to grips with the class, and I've never been great at reading spell lists, so I was hoping for some advice on important spells that I could pick up from another Divine class that fit the role of party support- I doubt I'll be called on to do much stick swinging so I probably won't bother with self buffs (as much as I love Divine Favor).

My current preliminary list is things like Invisibility Purge and Heroes' Feast, but I'm sure there's something fairly important I'm missing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The Skald's Raging Song states:

If a raging song affects allies, when the skald begins a raging song and at the start of each ally's turn in which they can hear the raging song, the skald's allies must decide whether to accept or refuse its effects. This is not an action. Unconscious allies automatically accept the song. If accepted, [u]the raging song's effects last for that ally's turn[/u] or until the song ends, whichever comes first.

My reading of this is that outside of their own turn characters are not considered to be under the effects of Raging Song, so with Inspired Rage they don't benefit from the stat boosts or Rage powers when it is not their turn, nor do they have -1 AC. With Song of the Fallen they would die at the end of their turn every round and the Spell Warrior's weapon enchants would keep blinking on and off.

Are the effects supposed to keep switching on and off?

The Additional Resources page states "Warpriest: To utilize a blessing, a character must be a worshiper of the listed deity."

Does this mean that in effect you have to be a Warpriest of one of the CRB Deities to get Blessings? No Warpriests of Ragathiel or Nivi Rhombodazzle?

My group will be starting AoW when we finish Shackled City and have started putting together characters.

I'm concerned about the effectiveness of Rogues due to the high number of Undead, especially in the end game of the campaign.

Was just wondering how it's been working out for people who have seen Rogues in action in the campaign? Any suggestions to help the Rogue hold his own against Sneak Attack immune monsters would be much appreciated, cos I don't want anyone feeling impotent in combat.
