I don't know of any formal definitions of 'Open' other the the one when they coined the term "Open Source"

most people think of 'open' as in "Open Source" even though they don't know what that is.

1: Free Redistribution

"The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale."

2: this is just that is have to be the source that is open so won't repeat it.

3: Derived Works

"The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original software."

4: Integrity of The Author’s Source Code

"The license may restrict source-code from being distributed in modified form only if the license allows the distribution of “patch files” with the source code for the purpose of modifying the program at build time. The license must explicitly permit distribution of software built from modified source code. The license may require derived works to carry a different name or version number from the original software."

5: No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups

"The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons."

6: No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor

"The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research"

7: Distribution of License

"The rights attached to the program must apply to all to whom the program is redistributed without the need for execution of an additional license by those parties."

8: License Must Not Be Specific to a Product

"The rights attached to the program must not depend on the program’s being part of a particular software distribution. If the program is extracted from that distribution and used or distributed within the terms of the program’s license, all parties to whom the program is redistributed should have the same rights as those that are granted in conjunction with the original software distribution."

9: License Must Not Restrict Other Software

"The license must not place restrictions on other software that is distributed along with the licensed software. For example, the license must not insist that all other programs distributed on the same medium must be open-source software."

10: License Must Be Technology-Neutral

"No provision of the license may be predicated on any individual technology or style of interface."

The creative Commons is good enough for WoTC so what problems with CC does the ORC license hope to fix?

My friendly local Venture Officer mentioned that he had to sign a contract to become one. Now for those not familiar with contract law for a contract needs to contain two elements to be legally valid: All parties must be in agreement (after an offer has been made by one party and accepted by the other). Something of value must be exchanged -- such as cash, services, or goods (or a promise to exchange such an item) -- for something else of value.

I can't believe a competent lawyer wouldn't say this is a big sue me sign on their back.

Is perform like profession where we can choose any thing to specialize in, or are we limited to the 9 categories listed.

Specifically I want Perform(evangelism) or would i have to settle for perform(Oratory)?

It was said that it was unfair to ask my GM to continue to use the rules at he interpreted them because it was what the rule books technically said and break the unwritten rules.

I'll let Brandon "Rym" DeCoster & Scott Rubin explain

I'm a linguist(not professional but it is my bonus feat for being autistic) so let me try to dumb this down enough that you won't get confuzed.

If they mean that you get your bonus feats at lvl1 and they your only able to use then when you you can add a spell of they lvl to your known spell list what are the odds, given paizo's track record, of them saying:
"No. You only get the bonus spells if your class level grants you access to those spell levels. You can't even use them for lower-level spells. See page 16, Abilities and Spellcasters section: "In addition to having a high ability score, a spellcaster must be of a high enough class level to be able to cast spells of a given spell level. "

For example, a 1st-level wizard with 18 Intelligence has (according to table 1–3: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Spells) 1 bonus spell at spell levels 1, 2, and 3. However, he can only use the 1st-level bonus spell because as a 1st-level wizard he only has access to 1st-level spells (his class-based number of 2nd- and 3rd-level spells per day are "—", meaning "no access to spells of this level"). As soon as he becomes a 3rd-level wizard, he gains access to his 2nd-level spell slots and can use that bonus 2nd-level spell slot from his high Intelligence, and likewise for 3rd-level spells and bonus spells at wizard level 5.

Basically, ignore the columns for higher-level spells on table 1–3: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Spells until your class grants you access to those spell levels."

I'm sorry but I'm Autistic so it hard for me to tell between Rules as written and rules as indented.

Is loot Char or player specific. Can any char purchase an item on players chronicle sheet. and the PSRPG says, "you can never
buy, sell, or trade items with another player" So can a player trade items between his own chars?

If the rules are ambiguous about something should you use the interpretation that gives the most enjoyable play experience regardless if it brakes the game mechanics?

Hi everyone I'm neW to pathfinder in general and this is my first char for pathfinder(I've only played AD&D2ed before)

I'm Autistic(bad enough that I can't Work) so take thing literally and have an OCEAN trust(Assume that most people are fundamentally fair, honest, and have good intentions. They take people at face value and are willing to forgive and forget.) score of 99 so I Naturally assume the intent is as Written.
Plus I'm a savant betatester. My first instincts always end up braking things.

I discussed the IWSB spell and my indented use and gave him a copy of my char sheet and the GM let me play it.

I knoW it Rules as Written unless there is some errata I've missed.

THou I can't use IWSB yet and a bunch of high level cure spells aren't that game bracking so It might just be a Ruling.

I've send him my intended 2lvl build to see if it's legal.

So besides breaking the game is there anything actually against the rules With my char?

the relevent parts from the bonus spell slots from the class desc.
"In addition, she
receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Charisma
score (see Table 1–3 of the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook)"
"In addition to the spells gained by oracles as they gain
levels, each oracle also adds all of either the cure spells or
the inflict spells to her list of spells known (cure spells
include all spells with “cure” in the name, inflict spells
include all spells with “inflict” in the name). These spells
are added as soon as the oracle is capable of casting them."

I though that if it wasn't in the additional resourced or core that it didn't exist in the Game world of Pathfinder Society.
But 10-10 mentions Ra and he's not an allowed deity in PFS.

Is this just another example of Paizo's highest quality of writing? Of is Ra just not worshiped anymore?

I'm unsure if it's meant to being able to cast a spell and having the spell prepared are to diffrent thing?

The only place Were it's even implied that preparation is tied to spell slots is: "When preparing spells for the day, a cleric can leave some of her
spell slots open."

IMBUE WITH SPELL ABILITy says, "You transfer some of your currently prepared spells, and the ability to cast them, to another creature." implying that you can have a spell prepared and not have the ability to cast it.

THey seem to go out of their Way to keep them different.

A 1st lvl human Oracle with 20 Cha
Favored Class Option: Add one spell known from the oracle spell list. This spell must be at least one level below the highest spell level the oracle can cast
Choose IwSA
feat Heighten(Metamagic)

Heighten IwSA to lvl5 as it only prevents it being replaced with a 4th lvl spell.

Do I need to dip a lvl into cleric to give out a CLW each day?

I just looked at the Pregen 1st lvl Oracle and under spells it lists CLw as at will. is this a typo?
