I have a character who is multiclass Fighter/Warpriest. To qualify for Weapon Specialization he will be required to qualify as a 4th level fighter. When he gets to 2nd level fighter/3rd level Warpriest, could he use his Warpriest bonus feat to take Weapon Specialization?

The final sentence of Warpriest bonus feats states:

Finally, for the purposes of these feats, the warpriest can select feats that have a minimum number of fighter levels as a prerequisite, treating his warpriest level as his fighter level.

This reads as if the levels would not stack, and I would only count Warpriest levels, but it seems counter-intuitive to me, so I am trying to get a firm ruling.

This is for a Society character, so I do want to make sure that I am not running into too much table variation if I decide to take Weapon Specialization at level 5

First up, there is an encounter scaling note on p.11 that references an encounter that doesn't seem to exist, and there are no scaling notes for encounter B. It looks like an encounter was removed in editing, and they removed the wrong scaling note.

Second, for the Andoran and Quadira faction boons, it says you get the benefit for free; does that just refer to the GP cost, and you still pay the Prestige, or does free mean you pay neither GP or Prestige?

That is all I have found so far, but it looks like this will be a lot of fun to run next week. Thank you for bringing back Miss Feathers, she is a treat to run.

I am making a cleric of Sun Wukong, and am thinking about taking the Ale/Wine Variant Channeling ability. The only PFS Gods that have Ale or Wine as an Area of Concern are Cayden Cailean and Halcamora; Sun Wukong has Drunkenness, which is not represented as a variant channel. Is it reasonable to take Ale/Wine with him and have it work at most tables, or should I expect that many GMs will object?

In another thread James Jacobs stated that Besmara and one of the Eldest - The Lantern King would have access to Ale/Wine, so there is precedent for it, even though the Ask JJ anything thread is not official I would expect it to carry some weight. Sun Wukong's portfolio of Drunkenness, Nature & Trickery is more compelling than Besmara's Piracy, Sea Monsters & Strife or Lantern King's Laughter, Mischief & Transformation as an argument for the Ale/Wine ability.

The Circlet of Persuasion
"grants a +3 competence bonus on the wearer's Charisma-based checks"

Charm of Wisdom granted power of the Conversion Inquisition
"You use your Wisdom modifier instead of your Charisma modifier when making Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate checks"

Does anyone have an official ruling on whether you could use the Circlet in conjunction with the Conversion Domain. My argument is basically that while you are using your Wisdom Modifier in place of your Charisma Modifier, it is still a Charisma based check, and therefore you do receive the bonus.

There is one other thread on the matter, but it was brief, and I don't think it properly addressed the issue.

I have a player that asked this question at my table earlier this week, and we were unable to find an answer.

James Jacobs posted Here that it isn't intended to work that way and that it would be addressed in the FAQ, but that was over three years ago, and I couldn't find it in the FAQ.

The searching I did turned up a few different conflicting answers. My first thought is to disallow it, saying that the two abilities are separate and he can choose one or the other, but I don't want to exercise GM fiat on a PFS character.

Does anyone else have a link to an official ruling, or have a PFS authorized answer?
