Wild Shape, Tongues, and Gold Nodules
Liberty's Edge

A druid is wild shaped as a baboon and has a gold nodule ioun stone (Common) active. She wishes to activate a wand of cure light wounds that someone has just passed to her. The wand's command word is "gargle-hope-cheese".

Wild Shape:
A druid loses her ability to speak while in animal form because she is limited to the sounds that a normal, untrained animal can make, but she can communicate normally with other animals of the same general grouping as her new form.

Tongues:
This spell grants the creature touched the ability to speak and understand the language of any intelligent creature, whether it is a racial tongue or a regional dialect. The subject can speak only one language at a time, although it may be able to understand several languages.

Ioun Stone, Gold Nodule:
This stone grants you the ability to comprehend, speak, read, and write a single language.
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
...Spells - tongues...

Spell Trigger:
No gestures or spell finishing is needed, just a special knowledge of spellcasting that an appropriate character would know, and a single word that must be spoken. Spell trigger items can be used by anyone whose class can cast the corresponding spell.

So, here are my questions:

  • Does the ioun stone grant her the ability to speak Common while in this form?
  • Can she activate the wand?
  • Could she activate a command word item with that same command word?
  • Does the language of the ioun stone matter? What if the ioun stone was for Orcish?
Pyromaniac gnome rules question
Liberty's Edge

The description of the alternate gnome racial feature, "pyromaniac", states that the +1 effective level bonus (for the strength of powers, not access to powers) applies to fire descriptor spells, Fire domain powers, the fire elemental bloodline, revelations of the oracle flame mystery, and alchemist bombs that deal fire damage.

Would it also apply to the Fire Elementalist wizard's powers? It does not say so specifically, but it seems to follow the same theme and I'm wondering if it was simply an accidental omission.
Need help registering player number
Liberty's Edge

I've been with Pathfinder Society since GenCon 2009, and got my player number from them. I hadn't had a chance to play Pathfinder until recently and just found out that either I didn't register at the time or my registration didn't go through. I've long since lost my card with the confirmation number, so I can't register the player number online.

Is there a way to fix this problem?
