I'm not talking about the specific spell "Blasphemy", but a more general sense of blasphemy.

Basically: say I have a bard with healing spells (or any other class, really), but I pose as a Cleric of a certain God for some reason. Be it profit, infiltration, etc.

Would you have consequences to doing this? Are there specific rules, or is this more a GM discretion thing?

Assume the character isn't caught out in their lie - so there's no legitimate clerics or paladins that're offended by their actions. The Gods would surely know, however?

I dunno - just a small scenario I was thinking of today. Wondered what the wider community thought.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone can provide clarity on this!

So I'm running a Bard. Thanks to Versatile Performance, I'll likely be using my Perform checks rather than a lot of my skills. I know that these checks (I think) replace the entire check - ie. even if I receive a +2 to bluff for wearing fancy clothes, I forfeit that if I decide to use Perform (Sing) instead.

What I DID want to ask about, however, was this PFS-specific rule:

"Once per session, while wearing a faction pin matching your character's faction, you may add 1 to any skill check. If you apply this benefit to one of your faction's favored skills, listed below, you instead roll 1d4 and add the result. For this roll you also treat the faction's favored skill as if you were trained, even if you don't have a rank in it."
Sovereign Court: Bluff, Disguise, and Knowledge (nobility)

Would this essentially mean that, as a Bard, the benefit from Sovereign Court would be less useful to me than (say) one of the other factions? Or, as it's a PFS rule relating to the merch or whatever, would this bonus be applied to the top of the check?

I asked one DM who suggested it'd likely be down to the GM on the day, but I was curious of a community thought on the matter, or even if this is something that's been tackled in the rules at some point.

Hey guys,

I'm helping a friend build her Ranger and I wondered if there are any traits related to Nobility which are PFS Legal? Obviously Noble Born isn't, and I had mistakenly read Noble Scion as a trait, only to realise later that it's a feat.

For character purposes, she wants to have a noble character, and it'd be nice if there was SOME way to have this influence gameplay in some way.

Also, on a related note, I wanted to check that Rangers do only get one feat at first level, so she'd not be able to take that one as a feat anyway? (She wants to specialise in Archery, so it'd be a wasted feat).

I couldn't find anything, but as Pathfinder rules are so big, and I'm still wrapping my head around the whole thing, I wanted to check with you guys

Appreciate your help!

Hey guys!

Apologies if there's another thread addressing this, but I couldn't find anything in my search.

Are there other traits to replace Multitalented (Half-Elf racial trait) aside from the Arcane Training trait (which is useless to Bards, if I understand correctly?)?

I found Blended View, which I was quite fond of for obvious reasons, but apparently in the PFS rules that's a banned trait.

If anyone could advise on other alternatives which I may've missed - or if the Arcane Training IS of use to a bard - that'd be appreciated!
