Silver Crusade 3/5 *

Minor spoilers ahead...

Do the pc's really need to purchase the medal they get for winning the race? The chronicle sheet lists a price. Is this medal just given to the pc's, or do they have to pay for it (if they want it)?

It seems like a let down to have to buy their award medal, and it's definitely not overpowered.

Same question for the flashlight. This seems more reasonable to require purchase.

I have a question concerning how much ammunition a weapon magazine holds in Starfinder 2e. A machine gun magazine holds 20 rounds (Core, pg 266). When you upgrade the weapon (to tactical, advanced, etc.) does the magazine hold more rounds?

Same question for a laser pistol - it normally holds 10 charges. When you upgrade it to tactical, you can use a tactical battery (which holds 20 charges). Does that mean the laser pistol can now hold 20 charges?

If the answer is "no" to question 1 and "yes" to question 2, it seems odd that weapons that use batteries improve their capacity, but projectile weapons do not.

If energy weapons do not improve their magazine capacity, what is the point of buying higher level batteries?

I'm reading through the new Starfinder Player Core - which I love so far! I found it odd that Sarenrae isn't listed in the Religon section! Hopefully she will be included in some future book?

On page 91 of the Player Core, it states, "Additionally, when you choose your character's class, they gain an attribute boost to their key Attribute modifier, increasing that attribute modifier by 2." Is this correct? I thought your class increased your key Attribute by +1. I checked the errata for the Player Core, but this was not listed there.

A significant number of events that I have reported (years ago) are now listed as "Not completely reported". I checked these events over, and I can't see any reason that they would not be completely reported. Apparently they were fine when I did the reporting (again, a few years ago), but now they are not. Has anyone else had this happen? What can I do to fix this?

I apologize if this question is not posted in the correct area. For Pathfinder Society, is the Virtuous Creed feat (from Champions of Purity) allowed in PFS?

The additional resources says:
Feats: all feats on page 23 and the inside back cover are legal for play

However, Virtuous Creed is from pages 18-19. I really don't know why it is separate from the other feats. There is no mention if the feat is allowed or not specifically.

I own several pdfs of books from additional resources and I am trying to print out the needed pages for a convention. Here's the problem: the watermarks with my name on them are VERY difficult to read. I even tried using two different printers - same problem. Is anyone else having this same issue? More importantly, does anyone know how I can make the watermarks more clear so my GMs can read them clearly?

I have several questions about how to give credit to PFS characters for playing the Anniversary Edition of Runelords.

1. Burnt Offerings is for character levels 3-5, and The Skinsaw Murders is for character levels 4-6. My group is playing the AP with home characters. According to the document, they can recieve credit for their PFS characters as soon as they reach the level of the pre-generated character they played. If they use home campaign characters, they recieve credit as if they had played a pre-gen. Since the pre-gens are levels 1, 4, or 7, it seems like they would get credit when their character reaches level 4. The problem is this - each chronicle gives the pc 3 xp - so after recieving the Burnt Offerings chronicle, they would level up from 4 to 5.... does this mean that they now can not recieve the Skinsaw Murders chronicle? Or can the players recieve both chronicles?

2. The Hook Mountain Massacre is for character levels 8-10. There are no pre-generated characters above level 7. Can my players recieve credit for their PFS characters once those characters reach level 8? Or can I not give them credit for the Hook Mountain Massacre (and later adventures) unless they actually use PFS characters for the adventure?

3. Whether or not my players can get credit for The Hook Mountain Massacre, can I apply my dm credit for the adventure to a character that is the appropriate level (I am guessing this is level 8-10)?
