I have over 150 tables reported in the system as a GM, but I took a hiatus for a couple of years. I recently returned, and the website is showing I am a 1-star GM. Is this a common problem? I tried the "Reset Points" button and that did not appear to affect anything.

Yep, I think I'm there now...

Now I just need to work on getting specials and such under my belt.

So...I have an interesting situation that came up last night.

Identifying a creature is the 5/10/15 + CR which gives you their type and subtype (if applicable), perhaps their name, and a certain number of additional questions based on how much you beat the DC by. My question is actually not for that.

Let's say that players know that they are going to be facing X type/subtype (they've been told by an NPC). What kind of roll, if any, is needed for a character to know if that type/subtype is, in general, susceptible to their primary class ability.

For specifics, the situation in question involved a witch who was told they would be facing devils. She was wondering if her Evil Eye hex would work against them. Does she know that, normally, devils are susceptible to her hex, or is there a roll involved? She's arguing that since it's her main hex (and right now her only one), that she is versed in its use and her character knows that some creatures are immune to it and other aren't.

Note I'm not asking about specific creatures that might be different from the norm, I'm just talking about type/subtype-based questions.

I have a player locally who is playing a monk and has taken the Vow of Poverty. My question is, how does this work in PFS play?

He is trying to say that he puts the money into a bank and just lets it stockpile (this never "carrying" more than he needs), but that seems to me to fly in the face of the vow. Obviously in an AP or other campaign, the character would just not take a share of the treasure, but that's not an option in PFS.

So, how do we handle this in PFS play?

So, I was planning on running Wonders in the Weave, Part I tomorrow for our high-level table, but after reading through the mod, found that there is essentially no point in doing so until the end of January.

I am very disappointed that Paizo released a scenario that most players would not play during the first month of its release if they knew the full details of the chronicle sheet. I would rather see any multiple-part scenarios like this released together or at least closer together.

I realize that the product page for the scenario indicates that they should be played in order, but it does *not* indicate

I've been reading the PDF of the first installment of Carrion Crown since I'll be running it for my players pretty soon, and I had a question regarding one of the encounters:

Thanks for the assistance!
