I don't see a limit on spells you can get by strolling into the library and copying them from the great old owl. Thats cheaper than scrolls and what you should be doing anyway.

Ah yes.. the Great Olde Owl.. one of the four animals my sweet Greebo fears..

the other three being..
-A Rooster (familiar to a voodoo witch/fairy godmother)
-A mother fox..
-A small white fluffy kitten named 'You'.

"Nanny uses Greebo to pass out healing spells.. doesn't everyone love him?" The old Taldan witch holds up a scared car that looks like 30 pounds of ill will made manifest.

OOC: Between Scar and 'my little kitten' Granny makes for a fairly good 'clutch healer'. Healing Hex + Scar = HEALING FROM MILES!

Role Playing is where you make it... make time for it. It doesn't have to be hours of talking in funny voices... though they often help distinguish OOC from IC statements. It fits easily into the little spaces between game mechanics - if you try.

For example, during introductions at the start of a game, I will, in a faux French accent, ask each other PC (often starting with any young ladies at the table) "Are you currently involved in a long term relationship?" I normally get stammers and blushes. In my PC voice I go on to say "I am a Matchmaker by profession you see, it is my 'day job' (finger quotes) - so if you might be interested in such a relationship, perhaps we might discuss some of my other clients? My card - " and I hand out a business card. At this point I switch to my OOC voice and say ... "Role Play often suffers due to time constraints, and we only have a limited time for this tonight so..." Glance back at the judge who is about ready to start at this point and back in character voice "Sigh... It appears that we have got to save the world again now, perhaps after that we'll find your one true love, yes?"

Agreed. It can be a tricky balance between rolling a 30+ diplomacy check in 4-5 tier and having an in character comment of: "My youngest, Shawn..he's your age sweetie, heard that..(someone) said this to (someone else) who was overheard by so&tsp..." This character is the charming old woman everyone calls on for help. The trick is to enhance play while not overly bogging it down.

Of course get on her BAD side and ... Well she has said "I done brought in a lot of folk into this world, an seen a fair measures of them on the way out too...."

In a "sort of" french/italian accent, "I am Giamo Casanunda, Cleric of the god of Love. My card" (hand out business cards). Looks around table to find any shy players, "Tell me, are you currently in a long term relationship? No? Would you like to be?"

I see whatcha doing there....

Yeah, but automatic impervious immunity-to-everything whenever you want it was a little too direct.

Just don't get a witch's scar hex -

such a witch needs neither line of effect nor line of sight to nail you with one of those.

Now now Dearie.. handling my sweet kitty.. (HUGE 35 pound feral cat) lets me put my mark on you an let me heal you sweetie.. from WAAAAAY over there. (Points to a ridge a 1/4 mile away)

"Use someone else character as the inspiration for mine? Oh never sir!"

Just cause my google foo is weak and from what I see on the additional resources, harrower IS legal BUT the entry wasn't updated yes?

Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play, pg. 19 wrote:

Do Not Bully Other Players

We’re all friends here, and we’re all playing a game together with the single purpose of having a wonderful time. Do not push other players around just because your character can. Extreme forms of dysfunctional play will not be tolerated. A little fun banter between PCs can be great roleplaying, but when you find yourself doing everything in your power to make another character look like an idiot or to undo everything that character is trying to accomplish, you’ve probably lost sight of the purpose of Pathfinder Society Organized Play and may be asked to leave the table. Playing your character is not an excuse for childish behavior. GMs should work with their event coordinators to resolve any out-of-game conflicts. If you are both the GM and the coordinator, use your own discretion. Extreme or repetitive cases should be resolved by asking the offender to leave the table.

The player in question may not have been trying to work against you, but if he was specifically trying to undercut what you were doing, the Guide explicitly calls out this kind of behavior as not acceptable. I recommend speaking with the event organizer and/or your local VO, so that they can talk to this player to hopefully prevent future occurrences. If nothing is said and this kind of behavior continues, it can drive players away; in my experience, if a player feels they have to start avoiding another player, it won't be long before they reconsider coming at all; sometimes all it takes is letting them know what they're doing is making the game not fun for everyone else.

And sometimes it takes an all expenses paid trip to The Door.

If nothing else, it's good to raise awareness that not only does this kind of behavior create an un-fun atmosphere, but is...

Which is why I got up.. went for a walk and spun down before I said/did something that might have been less than optimal. Granted a lot of folks I talked to dislike that particularly NPC a LOT. .

I can get why someone might be out to 'fix' the NPC's little red wagon but the player KNEW there were folks who needed to get the NPC to safety for their faction goal.

So while others who were patient with him wraggled things to work our goal while I took five to cool down.

We almost lost our second Prestige point yesterday in Scars of the Third Crusade because of this.

I really hate gaming with chaotic players.

I had something similar in The Horn of Aroden.
