Would I still have the penalty for using a weapon one size cat. larger than what I m use to ?

Can I replace weapons with a Masterwork version of my weapons ? Basically selling my weapons then buying the masterwork one.

Awesome so I just take 10 on the write into formula book and all set. I still feel like 5 gp per 1st level spell seems over powered. I could buy my whole list.

wow that seems OP lol. Does it then follows all the rules to copy. The DC 21 (1st level) spellcraft roll to decipher then the dc 16 Spellcraft to copy into the book.

Might be a stupid question but are Alchemist able to buy a 1st level scroll and then copy it to his Formula book?

Where is it stated that they vanish at the end of the Scenario. The way I m reading it is it functions just like any other mundane item you buy that you hold. I how does this effect items such as torches, Sunrods, crowbars etc that I buy that are adventuring gear.

I read on other posts that its the 1/3 cost. Basicly standard rules for crafting from the book. I think I wanna move the character to a support role. I thought about the archetype that gives me summon monster. I will get the discovery that allows others to use my stuff.

Could I get explanation on the use of craft alchemy for pathfiner society? Where do I locate cost and I take it the gm monitors the roll then I list under items bought what I made and how much it cost right? Examples would help in figuring out cost if possible.

Thank you all for helping me out.

What's the best way to handle weight encumbrance? Where is the spring loaded wrist sheath located? I haven't chosen my second level class yet. I will look over the events he has went through and see how that would affect his choice of class. If 2nd level alchemist pops up I m thinking grenadier.

I use bombs and I got weapon finesse for my swordcane. I hit better with thrown items given the throw anything feat combo with my point blank shot feat.

I now have 5 prestige, 5 fame, and about 1400 gold.
Does 2 prestige give me 750g for a 1st level wand with 50 charges?
What do I bank gold up for?

I would love to hear your thoughts on what can be bought.
I am a level 1 alchemist of Qadira faction with 3 exp chosing my 2nd level.

I got into combat mostly used the swordcane, but was able to deceive the bad guy into thinking I was a cook just passing through and got close enough to surprise em.

To update you all I have played in one game with this build and didn't even bring put the skillet. I come to see the character as a person that wants to look mundane with his Cane (swordcane). The first impression that someone would get would be he travels with the pathfinders as a henchman or cook givin the skillet on his back. I wanted to look as non threatening as possible.

Anyone have any suggestions on further ideas?

I think the Improvised Weapons rule was put in there cause they can't list every single thing that could be used as a weapon. You take something than figure where it fits on the chart size for the dmg and whether it is light , one handed, or 2 handed.

There are countless items that would make great weapons in the right hands. Lets look at the feat Deadly Dealer. It allows you to throw cards as deadly weapons given you have to have Arcane Strike and Sleight of Hand rank 5.

Its a gray area in the rules and will always be a issue for debate until we get a official ruling as what makes a item a weapon. The pick axe is a mining tool and a weapon. Items can have more than one purpose.

The character in question will have a Martial weapon to fall back on and does use Splash weapons such as bombs and alchimical fire. I m not sure if there are rules for bottles with rags lit and thrown lol. The character wants to conceal his ability to be dangerous which is why he doesn't chose to use big swords and such. The idea was in a group of adventurers the enemy would be focusing on who was the biggest threat. would it be the guy in armor wielding the big sword, the guy dressed like a caster or the guy dressed as a henchmen cooking his comrades meals. I assure you they wouldn't go for the cook first.

Imagine if Nodwick was actually a dangerous force who hides behind the guise of a henchman just there to carry stuff lol.

Is it safe to say we are delving too deep into the rules. Seems like its over complicating something that is simple.

Just found this and thought it to be interesting to these post

Swordcane is in the Ultimate Equipment guide.

Does the world of Pathfinder come tumbling down when I step in and say my character has a Swordcane, Daggers, Cooking knives, o and a Skillet for weapons list. I didn't throw in the other stuff that I just would pull out for flair. (Rolling pin, Cooking pot, waffle iron, Spatula, etc)

The core roots of pathfinder has always been to come to the table and have fun. It starts getting not so fun when constant people are always trying to nikpik at every little thing.

I sat down and thought of a character that is outside the norm and not all about numbers. I do have a backstory that explains how he became a Agent.
So please stop going on about how something can't be down and lets focus back on the core elements of the game which is to have fun.

I do not think what I am bringing to the table is uber rules breaking. I don't think it really breaks any rules. I have trained to be able to effectively uses something other than a traditional weapon as a weapon. Lets look at monks/Ninjas from tradition whom can turn anything into a deadly effective weapon.

I guess I need to conform to making cookie cutout characters with no uniqueness.

The game is about using your imagination and having fun. Lets continue to focus on those 2 elements and stop bogging it down with rules lawyering.

If I wanted to make a character that wields a pen and book as weapons then I would. Will that character be a effective as say a fighter ... no, but he has more personality and roleplay fun.

I once played a homebrew game with a gnome and a frying pan that got put in a gladiatorial battle.. he knocked out the dwarf with one swift hit and that gave his weapon a name Dwarf Knocker.
