Ok, I'm going to be "that guy".
First-level PC wants to craft 4 bottled lightings. Rolls 27 for downtime check. PC is field commissioned and has 12 downtime days.

Calculator

This says I don't save any $, but that crafting (first row) is 3sp/day and earned income is 2sp/day on a critical. And why would a success save me 1 gp while a crit does not save me anything?

I don't follow.

Has anyone else been having problems buying items off the website?

For the last week, I have been attempting to purchase the Advance Player's Guide. I add to My Cart and go through the 1-2-3 boxes to the red "Place Order" only to get redirected to another "Place Order red button page without the 1-2-3 boxes.

The charge appears on my bank account but has taken about a week to be removed from pending. I'm trying to buy a PDF - I did not think it would take over a WEEK to buy a PDF.

Anyone else? Is there a website issue?

Please be sure to email customer service with your issue.

I did. As I said in the second post, I was able to get it working on the fourth attempt. I clear out all my data in the payment options (Box 2), reinput all data, and order processing.

It seems that if the payment box or website has data stored in it, you need to go in, delete everything, and then put in the data again, even if it is the same. Then processed.

But now I have five payments pending on my account. I hope four of them clear soon.

OK! I JUST got the webstore to work.
I have to go to the second 2 with the payment details, clear out my card and address, and re-input both. When I submitted the order in box 3, "Place Order", it went through!

HOWEVER, I now have 5 of the same charges on my account! All for the same price of $15.58!

Now to make sure those other charges drop off! >:( >:(

This happened to me today. I got to the end of the purchase process submitted my details. Clicked submit. Nothing happened. Click again - nothing. After a few times trying clicked back to the checkout and got a message saying the payment had failed. Checked my bank and I have 5 x transaction pending ready to come out of my account. No digital download. Fingers crossed the transactions don't come out and are reversed. Sent an email to support but no response yet.

This has been happening to me since July 17...

I don't have chronicle handy. Does it limit the number of times the potion can be purchased?

No, it does not.

I want my rogue to be between an explore/face type of character. (I was thinking Solo or Croft type).
She is currently 3rd level with trap finder and ranger dedication; what advice would be for a good 4th level feat?

Thinking about a 20 point rebuild option for a smuggler with feint options and maybe the additional ranger archetype.

Open to suggestions, please

I think the OP is asking about school items, not purchases with currency. That’s how I read it at least, because they talk about “Schools.”

I am asking two different questions, one about purchased items and one about school items

The Mosquito Witch, 1-03, allows an Invisibility Potion to be bought for 40 gp.
Wondering if it "refreshes" after each adventure.

Do all consumables refresh after an adventure?
I am looking at buying a Potion of Invisibility, would that allow once a game?

Second, how many consumables does your school provide at the start of an adventure? A fifth level PC gets only one like a first level?

I want to make sure my understanding of the Bargain Hunter skill feat is correct.
In PFS Organized Play, I can make an Earned Income check with Diplomacy instead of being limited to Craft, Lore, and Performance.

I can also purchase gear by making a Diplomacy check to reduce the cost in addition to making Earned Income? For every item, such as if I want to by a +1 sword for 35 gp, make a BH check, the item is reduced to 31 gp and I also get the 4 gp as Earned Income.

I am not sure what else this feat can provide in PFS otherwise?

Does an alchemist familiar count as a companion to the extent that I could add a fiery leopard (Plaguestone) boon on it? I ask because familiars are under the same heading/chapter.
"Familiars
Familiars are mystically bonded creatures tied to your magic. Most familiars were originally animals, though the ritual of becoming a familiar makes them something more. You can choose a Tiny animal you want as your familiar, such as a bat, cat, raven, or snake." (Core book, page 217)

The date of this product has been moved back?

The Online Guide. Those are the rules for participating in the worldwide "Pathfinder Society Organized Play Campaign."

Awesome, thank you!

Hello,
I am trying to make a 1st level character that was in training to be a Knight of Lastwall. Are there some sources I can get about the Knight's day-to-day prior to the Whispering Tyrant destroying the nation?

What I am really curious about are two things:
1. Were there specific classes they had to be? EG only Paladins or War Priest; no Rouges, Wizards, so on.

2. Were the Knights conscripted like the Night Watch in GoT or was the force all volunteer? Seems that would have a hard time finding enough volunteers for such a dangerous border.

My idea is a dwarven spirit barbarian, but don't know if that really fits into the lore/cannon of P2e.

Thanks!

Yes, you can do that. You must still purchase the sawtooth saber, though (assuming you have access to it, since it's Uncommon).

What you can't do is just "change" the shortsword into a sabre for "no additional cost".

And so, if you purchase the +1 shortsword, and purchase the sawtooth saber, and transfer the rune between adventures during Downtime, that leaves you with a mundane shortsword.

What the people in this thread are discussing is that you shouldn't be able to sell back the shortsword at half value, because you didn't pay anything for.

Does that make sense?

It does Nefreet. Thanks for the clarification. I'm still kinda new, so I appreciate it. :)

Interesting to see how my OP developed for other issues.

No, you cannot, as there are no rules for doing that anywhere.

But you just transfer the +1 from the Shortsword to the Sawtooth for free as it notes in Transferring Runes.

My Barbarian can buy a 25 gp +1 Shortsword from the chronicle sheet #1-08: Revolution on the Riverside and could just change that to a +1 Sawtooth Saber? With no additional cost.

Wow.

Sorry, the +1 Shortsword is 35 gp.

Wow.

Ok, still confused on my understanding. Normal goods sell at 50% as in the Core Book. Let me see if I understand (...sorry never played PFS 1e, new):

If I buy a shortsword +1 for 25 gp, I can transfer the +1 to a rapier or greatsword and then sell the non-magical shortsword for 4.5 silver?

All non-magical equipment, like upgrading a simple lock to an average lock is just the difference in cost (13 gold). You do not sell back the lock for 1/2 price, then pay full price for the new kit - which would be 14 gold spent.

I think this could add up at higher levels.

Hum. Interesting, guess I missed how it relates to selling normal goods at 50% as in the Core Book. Let me see if I understand (...sorry never played PFS 1e, new):

Ruins: To understand - if I buy a shortsword +1 for 25 gp, I can transfer the +1 to a rapier or greatsword and then sell the non-magical shortsword for 4.5 silver?

I know the example is small, but the cost adds up in higher levels.

Hiya - Question about selling items in Pathfinder Society 2e.

What are the rules for selling standard equipment in PFS 2e that you have back to a "store" to upgrade or just coin back?

Second, if I buy an item, like a Dagger +1, off a chronicle sheet then want to upgrade or change the weapon to a Shortsword +1, do I pay the difference, sell the item back, just lose the item..so on.

Thanks, Fellows!!

The Lost Omens World Guide is the 2e overview of the setting.

Thank you!

Hello, sorry if this has bee discussed elsewhere.
Is the Lost Omens the world building or setting book for 2e?
Thank you,

I think I am getting this.
The Schools give you access to a consumable, skill, and/or second consumable depending on how many points you put into each School. Max 3.

Factions have Boons available. You use Fame to buy the Boons, which are "unlocked" or available based on the Reputation in that Faction.

E.G., 40 Fame - 10 Rep in Grand Archive and 30 in Vigilant Seal means I have access to:
All-Faction Boons Tier 3 and lower
Grand Archive Boons Tier 1 and lower
Vigilant Seal Boons Tier 2 and lower

You can only have 5 Boons "slotted" at one time. Three are generic, one is Faction, and is one Advance.

Are Boons like gear carried permanently, or do you reset/re-buy at the start of every mission?
E.G., GA with 10 Fame; buys Vigilant Seal Champion = now 6 Fame and can choose VS or GA Champion Boons.

You can also Craft during Downtime. You actually save more money Crafting than you would make with Earn Income.

There is no "downloadable guide", currently, and I don't see anything referenced on the Forums.

You might be getting PFS1 and PFS2 mixed up.

Most likely - newbie error.

Thank you all for your help! I really appreciate the help.
At this moment, the only thing once can do with downtime is to work a job, right?

The "Welcome to Pathfinder Society" is referenced on the board and download guide.

HAHA! "Real Alchemy" replying to "Homunculus'" question. How Jungian is that?!?
+1!

I am just starting with PFS with the release of 2E. I never felt I had the time or ability to jump into 1E PFS (traveling in US Army) and, after playing D&D AL, enjoyed Organized Play. Dropped out of GMing AL after noticing that no one needed to keep records on anything to cheat, but I still run Numenera’s Cypher Play.
I am trying to wrap my head around the 2E PFS. Got the general gist of character creation and played twice with pre-gens.

1. I thought the whole of the PFS economy is silver pieces? The ending sheets list GP Gained, but should this be SP Gained instead?

2. Is the “Welcome to PFS Boon” still in use for 2E? I see a lot of references to it but cannot find any details on the webpage.

3. The Reputation/Fame/School things…. This has me confused. Been reading the webpage. Let me see if I am correct or if someone would kindly correct me.
Each adventure I get Boons awarded from the sheet. I can use that with another GM – got it.
Then each PC starts with 3 points when they to place in Scrolls, Spells, or Swords “PFS schools.” Depending on how they put the points into “PFS schools,” they can select from the one-two-three points of each “school” for a starting consumable magic item to aid them on the quest. There is also a “general school."

4. Reputation and Fame – I am lost. You *have to choose* one of the 4 major or 2 minor Factions at the start of a quest, even in PFS Scenario 1-01, that shows all four/six factions? Or do you choose and gain the Rep during the adventure?

5. Can you change the Rep gained from a pre-gen to another Faction once you have built a character?

6. I am not sure what Fame is or how that works differently then Reputation.

7. Seen Repeatable and Faction tags on adventures. Does the Faction tag mean I must be in that Faction?
If I follow, the Boon to quest for the Faction, getting Rep for them, cost 4 Reputation *in that Faction*, how can you champion them? It seems like a chicken-and-the-egg problem – need Rep to get the Boon to get Rep.

Thanks! Looking to try out my first PFS built character.

(Thank you for reading the long post. I am sure I’ll have questions about Downtime too.)
