I was prepping for this game for my local group, and compiled all the stat blocks for it. While most stats are normal, be advised that the Zombie Owlbear has Unkillable trait.

What it can do: a ridiculous amount of luck/panache, can use a move standard swift or aoo to aid another ac, the ac bonus provided is +7, my Aid another skill gives +4, and the bastion of good is great.
What I can't do: damage things
So all in all, this is built like a tank from a mmorpg. My questions are:
1. Is it good?
2. Changes? I know I can remove swashbuckler but that removes 8 luck/panache, I can go golden legionairre ( which is probably the end goal)
3. Is it not fun for PFS difficulty normally being on the low end to give multiple allies +7 ac?
I'm still kind of trying to understand everything on this.
I know I can't stack All 3 of these normally (all morale), but what if I had Unchained Barbarian, and Spell Warrior Skalds? So standard and free actions +4 Str, +4 Con, +4 Will, +1 Enchantment, + 2 to Hit, +2 Damage, +2 per HD Temporary, -2 Dex, -3 AC.
Q1) Does this work?
Q2) There are separate pools for rage and Bloodrage right? Does Extra Rage Add 6 total of each or a running total extra of 6?
Q2.5) I use 1 rage 1 Bloodrage 1 Weapon Song each turn?
Q extra) is this worth all the dips? Seems kind of ridiculous but it's definitely seems awesome at level 3 at least
Just an inquiry: when is the Adventure Path 2 for Season of the Goblins scheduled to be released? Last I saw was in September, but I haven't heard anything else.
And just a side question if we have a release schedule for Mummies, so I know what to plan so we start up that season. I know it may be a little soon for this one.
I think blessing of the gobs is the only blessing I know of that doesn't have a specific dice it gets, but copies the top card of the blessings deck... So what happens if it is another Blessing of the Gobs? This happened in a PACG game last week. Will it just add nothing? Also, could Blessing of the Gods copy it's ability to get no dice but the Bury effect?
I'm trying to make a PFS Toothy Half-Orc Abyssal Blood rager, and I'm trying to find out if I put on a Helmet of the Mammoth Lord to get a Gore Attack, as part of my full round do I get to Claw Claw Bite Gore (basically can I gore and bite with the same full round)?
RAW seems to suggest that i would lose it when I am using a weapon in my full round action, but i could do as many natural attacks as listed. It would seem that RAI would suggest this stipulation that I would forgo an attack.
Also, this came up yesterday: Can I full round with claws if I have a great sword in hand, but did not attack with it? I was ruled that I free action dropped the sword, but I think RAW says I can.

We ran this scenario recently, and upon finding big chief Wortus, the player rolled a 1 on the Goblin roll table. They failed the con/fort roll. Then they rolled for big chief and failed that roll. So -4. 3 questions:
1) do they stack?
2) is a bya a "check to defeat"? Because my understanding is no.
3) can you roll negative? Example rolling a 1 would be a -3
Equipment: +2Agile Mithral Breastplate, Circlet of Persuasion (+2, not 3), Headband of Alluring Charisma +2, Belt of Incredible Dexterity +2, ring of Seven Lovely Colors (acts as a ring of protect +1), cloak of resistance +1
AC: 23 (10+8 armor+4dex+1deflection)
I also need to assign 1 feat, but currently I have:
Selective Channel
Skill Focus Knowledge (Religion)
Eldritch Heritage (Familiar)
Spell Focus Curse (For Bestow Curse, Blindness/Deafness etc.)
Eschew Materials (From Sorcerer)
I have 1 level of Sorcerer to have the ability to change my fire spells into Cold, and I have the ability to turn into a bird with Ring of Seven Lovely Colors , so it's spells are Mage Armor and Shield
I am usually the party healer and I have Debuff / Offense with Doom, Il Omen, Bestow Curse, Oracle's Burden, Hold Person, Blindness/Deafness, all the blackened spells and spear of purity.
I had two thoughts on development: Insane AC, or Magic. Keep in mind my familiar died, so to bring him back would cost 2k.
AC:
Insane AC:
+3 Agile Mithral Breastplate (+5000)
+3 Heavy Steel Shield (+9,020)
+2 Amulet of Natural Armor (+8000)
+2 Ring of Protection (+8000)
+2 Cloak of Resistance (+3000)
Retrain Eldritch and Knowledge for Dodge and Toughness (+1000 gp +10 pp)
Take Greater Spell Focus Curse
End result= AC + 10 (33) Resistance +1 Hp +10
magic:
Another Route would be the Mage Route
+4 Headband of Alluring Charisma (+12000)
+4 Belt of Incredible Dexterity (+12000)
Lesser Maximize Metamagic Rod (+9000)
+1 Steel Heavy Shield (+1020)
Retrain to Precise Shot, Point Blank Shot (+1000 +10 pp)
Take Greater Spell Focus Curse
Result: +4 AC, +1 DC, +1 to hit.
Combat:
R1 or before : Blessing of Fervor
R2 : Maximized, Empowered, Silent Scorching Ray though the Maximize rod Full Round
I'm trying to decide what I should do with this money.
Speed 30 Ft.
Ranged Scorching Ray +9 (4d6 Fire or Cold Damage), Spear of Purity +9 (3d8 Evil, 6d6 + dc 17 or Blind against Evil Outsider), cold elemental ray +9 (1d6+1 Cold)

Traits: Fast Talker, Beneficiary Touch

Special Abilities
Channel Energy 3d6
Fortune
Lifelink (up to 6)
Familiar Hawk
Curses Blackened (Minor), Deafened (Major)
Elemental Bloodline Change any Elemental Damage to Cold instead
So I was wondering is it worth it to keep the Sorcerer Level to: Change all Fire to Cold (if need be), Have buffs for when I turn into a bird form with Ring of Seven Lovely Colors, Have Arcane aspects for UMD, More Cantrips, and be able to cast spells with a +2 to hit? If I retrained it, I would get 1 more 1-3 known spells, a Revelation (I would be taking Misfortune), 1 more d6 Channel, more casting of spells.
Basically the topic is the question: if I get spells from other classes, can I change their type with the Bloodline ability? It didn't specify if it was Sorcerer spells that it could affect.
A question about his 2nd power, which says: "When you would banish a card that has the alchemical trait or a spell for its power, you may recharge it instead."
I was wondering on the alchemical part of this is still under the "...for its power", or is that only relevant when playing spells?
Example Card: Spell sling (don't have the card in front of me): if proficient with weapons, you may banish an item with the alchemical trait to add 2d6 and it's traits to a characters check at a different location.
I was building a Hafling Hunter with a Deionchyus (Sp?) Velicoraptor Companion. I was thinking about taking Undersized Mount as my feat. So questions:
1) General question is does the Companion have a saddle slot, and where would I find this information? (I assume it does because I think caviliers can get them)
2) Ride penalties? Is it -5 for exotic, and another -5 if bareback?
I was reading through this and had questions about a few things:
Do the enemy always get a Save, or is it just Evil Outsiders on the d6 rolls? And if used against a neutral creature, what dice do you roll for half (furthermore, do they get a save for an additional half)?
I was thinking of a concept character: A Sacred Huntsman Inquistor/Druid/Wizard/Hunter/Witch/Wild Child Vigilante. A young Wayang who loves animals, particularly dinosaurs. I will also be taking Undersized Mounts to ride these animals. So level 6 I would have 3 Companions, 3 Familiars. A few questions:
1) I believe I have this many Animals, but just to be sure, does this sound right?
2) Do similar Familiar Abilities Stack (+2 Initiative and +4 for a total of +6 for an example)
2a) If so, could I have multiple of the same familiar and have those Stack as well?
If I was running a Kitsune Vigilante, who is fox form for Vigilante, and human form for Social, would both her Appear Human + 10 Disguise and her + 20 Disguise to not know stack (assuming a character got a check in her social form)?
Would I still remove from game cards that are basic (or elite later on), as stated on the Adventure Path? I was confused on this, because the Guild guide tells you not to remove from play.
I was thinking about potential damage with CD Damiel, and had a question about stacking bonuses. Here's the scenario:
Combat check comes up. I have already played Brilliance (+3 intelligence), and have Mythic Marshall. I play a Fire Alchemy weapon, using its ability to add my Craft Check (intelligence) to the check by discarding a card, I also discard a Alchemy card to add Intelligence to my combat Dexterity. My bonuses are +2 Dexterity, +1 Intelligence, Craft:Intelligence 3, Brilliance, and 2 charges of my Mythic path (Intelligence and Dexterity). So here is my question:
1) do these all get their bonuses from the other sources? So 1d12+2d10+2d6+19 (+2 Dexterity + 2 Mythic)+(+3 Craft +1 Intelligence + 3 Brilliance + 2 Mythic) + (+1 Intelligence + 3 Brilliance + 2 Mythic)
I was wondering about some things with Wraith's 1 and 2 Scenario lists.
Based of the awards, I assume if I completed everything I would have 5 skill feats, 2 power feats, 2 card feats and be starting the next path at tier 3, and also a ton of cards I could replace my cards with?
Because of:
scenario and adventure path rewards 1-1:

Another question is about tiering: could you complete theoretically be Tier 4 after this by choosing to upgrade early at 4, then completing an adventure to tier, then again in the second path?
Played Solo CD Lem, who was Tier 2 (Charisma +2, After you recharge), having played some Wraith before playing this. Have only 1 tier 2 card as Lightning bolt.
Overall thoughts is I got pretty lucky, but probably had it under control. Started at Goblin fortress, which I rolled (after you act, move to a random location) when I was fighting the henchmen, which was annoying because I didn't get a chance to close it. Had a few Goblins blow up, which it was nice to have that Sihedron Medallion. I also had that happen on the first proxy villian summon, then I easily defeated it's 7 Charisma with a 1d12+2.
Came to the Shrine, which I was a little worried about because of the Blessing = 2 Damage but I didn't face any. (Besides, my discard was nearly empty because of 2 Cures plus Lem's fetch ability). Instead I got: Battered Chest, which I succeeded using a Blessing of Abadar and acquired 4 items! Next card was an exploding goblin, but I buried that newly acquired potion of Energy resistance to prevent it. 3 explore on that turn was villian, and I was glad he reset my hand, because all I had was lightning touch, but drew into Dagger +1, lightning bolt and a blessing. Handily defeated the Combat 10 then 12.
Overall, not as difficult as some others because the villian wasn't goblin (which has caused me problems in 2-1A 20 then 22 combat and on 2-D Combat 16 with a -4 to all dice), but most likely had been a nightmare 6 people (9 locations!)
In the free resources description, and the Pathfinder Adventure Card Guild Guide, it says that there is a place to download pre generated characters. Is there something I am missing? I have downloaded it all and still have not found it. I've looked through the class sheets too. Is it referencing the rules in which they appear?
I see the Pre-Generated characters topic in here that has Barbarian, Druid, Paladin, and Monk for 1, 3, and 5 tiers, but I can't find any other decks. Because, going by the Pre-Generated guidelines in Guild Guide, a Tier 3 character would have the role, 0 feats and up to tier 1 cards, but the pre-gens here have feats and stuff.
I kind of want clarity on his power that states: "At the start of your turn, you may discard any number of cards from the top of your deck. Each other character may shuffle random cards from his discard pile into his deck; the total number of cards shuffled must not exceed (1 plus) twice the number of cards discarded"
If I invest the power feat, can I choose to discard 0 cards and heal everyone else 1 card?
