After years of playing custom and home brew games I finally got around to trying Pathfinder Society Organized Play. While the game's style didn't quite mesh with my own (too mechanics focused). I found the exposure to the modules and playing under new GMs allowed me to pick and choose things that I liked and disliked about their style. Has anyone else had the same experience?

I also made a video about the pros and cons.

Oh that's quite useful to know!

I can't seem to find the "Only can activated while falling" rule online though. Can you link it? Would you recommend taking a Potion of Featherfall instead (those exist right)?

Antitoxin is nice, I was gonna recommend taking a Delay Poison Potion on a 1-1.5k item list, but now that you mention it I suppose Antitoxin is worth having while you can't afford the more expensive item.

Hey all, I decided to try to develop a list of items to recommend to new players in order to help them in the game. I was wondering what you all thought?

I tried to answer the question, "What should I spend my first 500 gold on?" (the amount usually gotten from a first successful adventure). I left out things like basic armor/weapons, rope, backpacks, torches, and whetstones since I figured that's what people would buy with their first 150 gp. What would you add? What would you remove?

50 gp Potion of Feather Step
50 gp Potion of Invigorate
50 gp Potion of Remove Sickness
50 gp Potion of Cure Light Wounds
50 gp Potion of Magic Weapon
20 gp Alchemist's Fire
25 gp Holy Water
85 gp Skeleton Key
50 gp Antiplauge
50 gp Air Crystals/Potion of Touch of Sea
25 gp Smelling Salts
.5 gp Potion Bandolier
10 gp Smoked Goggles

2 PP Snapleaf
2 PP Wand Cure Light Wounds/Infernal Healing

For Martial
40 gp Bladeguard
.1 gp Weapon Cord

For Stealth
50 gp Potion of Negate Aroma

For Casters
5 gp Spring Loaded Wrist Sheath

The ideas and were found primarily on these sites. I just pared it down til I could get it to about 500gp.
