Per the guidelines for running the Dead Sun Adventure Path (http://paizo.com/include/PZO7201-Rules.zip), successful completion of each AP module should earn the PCs 5 Reputation. When I entered that value into the reporting system and saved the report, it changed to a value of 4 (see Event # 155460, Sessions 6, 7, and 10). I changed it back to 5 and saved again, just to be sure, it is still showing 4 Reputation instead of 5. Thank you.

If someone has run enough games to completely fill their GM Boon for the Regional Support Program, are they allowed to start a new one or are you limited to only one GM Boon per program year? Thank you.


On the Pathfinder Society > Policies page (http://paizo.com/pathfinderSociety/policies), the link for the Event Support Request Form (https://www.dropbox.com/s/b5p8w5mvu2u8cj2/2016%20Event%20Support%20Request %20Form.pdf?dl=0) found under Regional Support Package > Submission Method returns a 404 File Not Found error. Thank you.


I checked the forums and found a couple of posts asking this question, but no official reply. From the PRD for Occult Adventures, the ghost rider cavalier archetype says:

Quote:
Ghost Mount (Su): At 1st level, a ghost rider gains the ability to manifest a special mount of conjured ectoplasm rather than one of flesh and bone. This spectral companion functions like a spiritualist's phantom companion, using the ghost rider's cavalier level as her effective spiritualist level.

In the spiritualist section describing phantoms, under Ectoplasmic, it says:

Quote:
Phase Lurch (Su): A phantom in ectoplasmic form has the ability to pass through walls or material obstacles. In order to use this ability, it must begin and end its turn outside whatever wall or obstacle it's moving through. An ectoplasmic phantom can't move through corporeal creatures with this ability, and its movement speed is halved while moving through a wall or obstacle. Any surface it moves through is coated with a thin, silvery mucus that lingers for 1 minute.

I understand from the Occult Adventures FAQ that a future errata will say that phantoms are not allowed to wear armor but still will be allowed to wear other magic items, suggesting that they will be able to hold physical objects while using their stated abilities. So my question is, can the phantom carry its rider through walls or material obstacles using phase lurch? Thank you.

I just noticed that the the Season 8 Pathfinder Roleplaying Guild Guide list of allowed human ethnicities and languages on p. 25 does not include Vudrani. Was this an oversight or intentional? I understand that an update to the Guide is in the works, so I ask that you consider adding Vudrani to the allowed list. Thank you.

The Rules forum suggests that this is a question that needs to be resolved by the GM. A number of PFS General Discussion threads have asked for a ruling, but I was not able to find one from campaign leadership. There were several references to How to Upgrade Your Gear in PFS, but the relevant discussions there deal with upgrading items that are specified as made of particular materials in their descriptions (such as celestial armor being described as being made of silver or gold in the CRB and not being able to make armor of those materials, leaving no upgrade path).

My question is, if the description of a specific magic armor or weapon does not list the material of which it is made, can it be constructed using a special material? For example, could a character commission a set of equestrian plate made of dragonhide? Is it possible to purchase mithral plate armor of the deep? Could a frost brand be made of adamantine?

In reviewing past discussions of this question, one of the objections to allowing special materials to be used to make specific armor and weapons was that it would be difficult to calculate the new cost of the item, but I would think that it would simply require adding the standard special material cost for any other armor or weapon of the same type to the listed price of the specific item. If the special material cost includes the masterwork component, then the cost for making a masterwork item of the same time can be subtracted.

If there is a ruling on this issue, I suggest that it be added to the Campaign Clarifications. Thank you.


The product page for Crypt of the Everflame (http://paizo.com/products/btpy89c9?Pathfinder-Module-Crypt-of-the-Everflame ) has a link to the old Dungeon flip-mat (http://paizo.com/store/v5748btpy85ju), which is out of print and does not have a .pdf available. I suggest that you also include a link to the reprint (http://paizo.com/products/btpy9gsc?Pathfinder-FlipMat-Classics-Dungeon). Thank you.

The diamond body ki power in Pathfinder Unchained does not specify what type of action is used to activate it. Is no action required? Can it be used an any time? Should it be an immediate action that can be activated after a poison save is failed but before damage is taken?
