My (main) problem with the GM star boon chronicle is that I can only give it to one character; either by the time I earn enough stars for the good stuff, the character I've given it to is retired, or I simply don't use it until waaaaaay down the line (by that I mean years), when I have the stars to really make use of it.

Basically, the rewards I can get out of it are just too minor for me to bother with selecting one of my many characters to give it to, and even if I did, the character can only be played so many times before they have to retire, at which point I won't get any more use out of it until I've run at least 200 tables (so I can give it to another character).

So, yeah... a boon so minor that I would get so little use out of is not really a meaningful reward for running games week in and week out.

As for the Arcane bonded item, you can craft the first enchantment on it at the cost, rather than the price. So you get a discount on it over buying a magic item. I believe this is about the only crafting of magic items allowed in PFS.

Good news, everyone! The FAQ was updated to grant the discount to the entire item, not just the first enchantment, including future upgrades.
