I was just pointing out that even they are not 100% on this. And the reason they are changing is because of the Society rule: this feat may be taken multiple times, each time selecting a different available magic item slot based on the creature's anatomy

Hero Labs did just e-mail me and is changing their programming for society characters to ensure the Extra Item Slot for animal companions is available beyond creation at 1st level as it says the feat may be taken multiple times. This should make it available when Int is increased to +3.

If I start applying rules from the core rule book I can negate this whole thing, making it not available. For society play the legal ruling starts with additional resource guide. If other previously written rules do not work with it, refer to the higher authority.

The Animal Magic Item Slots table found on the inside front cover of the book (Animal Archives) is not legal except under the following conditions. First, an animal companion, familiar, or bonded mount, may choose one slot listed under it's body type when taking the Extra Item Slot feat (this feat may be taken multiple times, each time selecting a different available magic item slot based on the creature's anatomy). Second, access to specific magic item slots may be granted at a later date by another legal source. This is word for word from the Society Additional resource guide. I would take this as the rule for society play. It was written after the Core rule book and it is direct rules for Society play.

This thread is bringing out all kinds of silly.

Looks like a wand of ant haul is used until I can increase intellect to 3 so I can activate a magic item. Then dissmiss bat. Call new bat w/ extra item slot. Get Heavy load belt. For now my bat has an exotic riding saddle which it can fly with right at its light load limit. I will ant haul wand to ride for now.

I find in FAQ and legal under Animal archives that I can take extra item slot feat. A bat can select belt. I can buy a belt of heavy load and permanently solve the problem. Anyone see a problem with that?

No malice at all. Quite the opposite. I believe that it was an obscure rule that was overlooked. I just posed the question to point to the fact that it must have been an over site.

Why make a class that is broken by the rules to begin with? Especially one that is so enticing. Was I supposed to not be able to do what the class is designed to do at lower levels? Was I supposed to fly around naked with one bomb in my hand at a time? I just don't think this class was supposed to be so rules restricted in it's implementation. I would not think that was the intent.

Would love to have this cleared up. I go to Cons with this and have a lot of rules interpretations that make me have to relearn the character to appease the GM for each table. I know I haven't played it right for three mods now. I had no idea until someone pointed out the problem and I started researching it. Clarification for Society play would be awesome!

Looks like Ant Haul wands will be the answer to the problem for now.

Sorry bout the sarcasm John. I have put in a lot of hours trying to get this worked out to no avail. No one I have talked to can figure out all of the rules for society play to make everything above board and legal for play. I really want to play this by the rules. The Fly spell is the key I could not find. If you are the developer for this one I really want to thank you for a whole lot of crazy being unleashed in my Lodge. This thing is awesome. I just got it started and had to stop playing it for my own piece of mind until I got this worked out. My only other option was to burn wands of ant haul. Thanks!

So... I start my Goblin Boone and choose Goblin Marauder. The minimum weight of a naked goblin is 32 lb. The bat can only carry a 30lb load before it gets in the medium load category. It now cannot fly. Who's the genius that wrote this one?

I used to play Living Greyhawk and loved it, which is why I play Pathfinder Society. We had the same rules for Owning the book to play the rule. You would see guys trying to maneuver a room with a bookcase attached to wheels. Funniest thing I ever saw. Computers have made gaming easier and accurate characters even more so. I just feel the fun of the game being sucked out of the room...
