I'm wondering if there's a way to link my local gaming store book purchases to my paizo account. Mainly because I've been looking at playing Fantasy Grounds and it pulls your paizo account purchases so you dont have to repurchase products. I mainly buy my pathfinder books through one of our local stores so while I have all the remaster books, none of them are reflected on my paizo account.

Anyways I hope I put this thread in the right spot. :)

Could a swashbuckler with the monk dedication use a finisher as part of their ki strike if they're fighting unarmed?

Fellow Gms, What steps do you take/notes do you write to help remember how an NPC sounds and what their personality is like?

So in the CRB the monk dedication feat makes you trained in unarmed attacks and you gain the powerful fist class feature. along with skills
What is the point of the multiclass feat giving you trained status in unarmed attacks when every class is already trained in it and the errata states that all classes share their simple weapon prof with unarmed attacks?
Is this an error that wasn't changed in the errata or simply something added in for future classes that don't have simple weapon prof?

How do you, as a GM, determine task level for earning income?

Do healer's kits have an unlimited number of uses, or is it something you have to replenish?

So the Lost Omens World Guide is stated to be released tomorrow, August 28th, here at Paizo; but Amazon is saying it has a release date of September 10th? Does anyone know why that is?

Just wondering if 2e was sticking to the playtest economy with silver pieces being the main coin? I loved that, made it feel idk more real, plus it made copper pieces feel less like junk.

I think its one of the smaller changes but I feel like, and the group I play with seems to agree, that the change in economy (GP to SP as base coin) really helps the immersion. Suddenly copper are viable coinage, gold feels likes it worth something and platinum isn't just what you've got shoved in your back pocket to save a few pounds when the hordes of coin become too much to realistically carry. Also it helps to make survivability outside of being an adventurer/noble more explainable. When a dagger cost 2 gold pieces its weird to think that almost every street urchin, farmer, and basket weaver would splurge on one when they've got things like food and tithes to worry about but when you see a dagger costing 2 silver pieces its like yeah okay I can believe that Billy Boberton the peaceful rancher might have one or two, or heck even a short sword if he lives in a dangerous area.

Small change but huge impact, at least at my table.

This is all lore focused of course and not touching on any issues that might be there as far as mechanics go but after looking through the Ancestries something struck me as odd. Of the three small races none of them have any kind of large scale effect on global politics. None of them have a home state or the likes really. Halflings are content with constantly living in humanity's shadow, gnomes find it hard to settle anything or they'll bleach and die, and the goblins are refugees from decimated tribes. It just feels weird that not 1 but 3 of the core ancestries are people who as a whole have no major influence on the world as a people. Individuals might but without some kind of home turf they're all just little people living in a big person's world.

All I'm thinking is if 2E is set further in the timeline why couldn't halflings have formed some kind of nation, especially since there have been heavy mentions of freed slaves in 1E APs. Or why do the goblin tribes have to be just at the point where they're coming out of hiding instead of already being an active, if albeit small, player on the field. Or we could take a page from Starfinder and have a whole line of bleached gnomes who've settled and seen their influence grow globally.

Thoughts? Ideas?

I'm trying to put together a list of universities/academies, libraries, and museums (basically any place of higher learning or containing a wealth of knowledge) for a player who is playing a wandering field scientist. We're based out of Cheliax so I've already mentioned the Alabaster Academy in Kintargo but other than that I'm having a hard time locating places that fit the bill.

Any suggestions on where to look for these places or know of any places that would work?

From Hell's Rebels Player's Guide under the role of Recruiter in the Silver Ravens it says

"Recruiter: The number of supporters recruited during the Upkeep phase on a successful Organization check is increased by the officer’s character level. This bonus stacks with that provided by other recruiters."

Now the only time you actually gain supporters during the Upkeep phase is if you roll a natural 20 during the Supporter Attrition step. So if I'm reading this right the only thing the Recruiter position does is give you a few extra supporters and only when you roll a natural 20 or is there something I'm missing?

I'm running a campaign and a player has made an Ulfen bard with ranks in Oratory. He wants his character to be a story teller, recounting tales of great heroes and amazing feats based off characters or events in the campaign setting, but other than telling him to read through some of the books on various countries to find out backstories on them I'm not 100% sure where to point him or if there even is a source for figures of legend and notable heroes/persons of Golarion. Any advice on what we can do or where to look would be greatly appreciated!

Where can I find more info on the Serpentfolk. I know they're in the Bestiary 2 but I'm not seeing them anywhere else

How many free hands does a spellcaster need to cast a spell with a somatic component?
Do they need both hands, or can they hold a weapon and use their off hand to cast?

I'm making a medium sized Oracle with the Nature mystery, and her first revelation is the Bonded Mount.

What I was wondering was if I had to choose between a horse and a camel, or could I choose a different kind of mount??
