In Bestiary 2 it says you can add these templates to summoned monsters, however on the Additional Resources page under Bestiary 2 it doesn't mention this for PFS.

I also don't see any feats that add these templates either, Versatile Summoning from the Monster Summoner's Handbook adds Fiery, Aqueous, Aerial, Cthonic, Dark, and Primordial but also doesn't mention the Resolute or Entropic templates.

Thanks.

... Or. If you cast the spell on another plane, does it transport your body to the Material Plane?

This is awesome! I'll be getting this when it comes out. I love the Pawns line, I really hope you guys come out with a Box of the gargantuan and colossal creatures. ... Pathfinder Pawns Colossal Creature Collection ... feel free to use that name =P But seriously I'd really like to have a representation of all the giant dragons, tarrasque, demons, and Cthulhu of course.

So at a recent PFS game I was told by the GM that I could not use Flurry of Blows with a Double Chain Kama. Her reasoning for this was based on this sentence in the double chain kama's description The wielder can attack as if armed with a single kama in each hand or extend the chain to make a single reach attack.

My understanding of this is that the weapon is considered a double weapon if wielding both of the kamas without reach or a single weapon if using it as a reach weapon. Flurry of blows, unlike two-weapon fighting does not require two weapons and specifically states all of the flurry attacks can be made with the same weapon.

Can someone please clarify how this should be ruled? Is this the only monk weapon that can't be used to make multiple attacks with Flurry of Blows? Please note my question is how this is ruled in Pathfinder Society Play, not for home games.

Thank you!

Flurry of BlowsAt 1st level, a monk can make a flurry of blows as a full-attack action. When making a flurry of blows, the monk can make one additional attack at his highest base attack bonus. This additional attack stacks with the bonus attacks from haste and other similar effects. When using this ability, the monk can make these attacks with any combination of his unarmed strikes and weapons that have the monk special weapon quality. He takes no penalty for using multiple weapons when making a flurry of blows, but he does not gain any additional attacks beyond what's already granted by the flurry for doing so. (He can still gain additional attacks from a high base attack bonus, from this ability, and from haste and similar effects).

Kama, Double-Chained: This weapon comprises a pair of kama connected with an 8-foot length of chain. The wielder can attack as if armed with a single kama in each hand or extend the chain to make a single reach attack. By swinging the rope, the wielder can whip the kama about to disarm or trip opponents. Furthermore, if one of the weapons is dropped, the wielder can retrieve as a free action by pulling on the chain.

Monk Flurry of Blows: When I use flurry of blows, can I make all of the attacks with just one weapon, or do I have to use two, as implied by the ability functioning similarly to Two-Weapon Fighting?

You can make all of your attacks with a single monk weapon. Alternatively, you can replace any number of these attacks with an unarmed strike. This FAQ specifically changes a previous ruling made in the blog concerning this issue.

Inlight of the new Flip-mat Classics Line of Reprints, are there any plans on reprinting the Darklands and Deep Forest maps? These are both used in the Confirmation scenario for PFS and I know Darklands is used in at least 5 other PFS scenarios. From a GM perspective it really puts a damper on running scenarios when we have to hand draw 3-6 full size maps for some scenarios because the flip maps are out of print. I think Silverhex Chronicles is probably the worst offender for using a ton of maps, but The Confirmation which is right there with it.
