I think Tavin's HP is a little off. I think he took 16 from Halran, less 6 from Calvyn's reaction. This leaves 10. He took 4 from Lokoloko as splash (2 * 2). This totals 14, and 46-14=32.

I am Tavin Sunward. The name is a bit of a misnomer, as I am from the caverns of the far Northern island of Mordant Spire.
I have had a number of interesting adventures with the Pathfinder Society, ranging from various missions around the city of Absalom to hikes through the wilderness.

I have had all of my required evaluations, and I think my last count for remaining is 10? The Paizo web site has me with credit for two more sessions than I really have, so I lose track of the adjustment. It is close to single digits, regardless.

A tall, darkly dressed Elf wearing a mask joins the group, seemingly muttering to himself. Yes, I am travelling again, this time up a river from the sea. A new set of companions. Some sort of contest I think.
He looks toward the gathering group. Greetings. I am Tavin. as if that explains everything. He wears leather armor, and you see several knives immediately available to draw.

I agree that the Retributive Strike works for Allies and not attacks on myself. I don't want to Shield Block right now, as a broken shield will make it easier for him to Crit me.
You won't get to taste us, cause we're going to put you down first.
◆ Tavin steps up to engage the Ogre
◆ He will stab the Ogre with his dagger
+1 Returning dagger to hit:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16 damage, slashing:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
◆ Raises his Shield, bring his Armor Class up to 22
I'll hold him here. Keep hammering him until he is down!

I thought that might happen. I also hate to waste the natural 20, but Tavin would move forward to be with 10 feet of the Ogre (one square southwest of Edogawa) so he is in range to do his Retributive strike on the Ogre. I don't have the right tools to move myself right now, so someone else can move me, or I can move myself in a few hours.

As long as the wolves aren't unusually hostile, Tavin has no interest in pursuing them.
Tavin will sheath his dagger, then Lay on Hands himself to heal 12 HP.
I give thanks to Yuelral for giving me the strength to dispatch that beast.
He turns to the rest of the party. I am also grateful for your assistance.
Since Tavin has Natural medicine, he will roll Medicine to treat his remaining wounds. @GM chadius, there is a +2 bonus at your discretion, fi there might be healing herbs in the area.
Nature to treat wounds:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Dice are hot tonight. Crit success on the treat wounds, so 4d8 healing

Guide, I can't really move right now. Sorry about that.
Fortitude save versus fleas:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
↺ As a reaction, Tavin would have used Shield Block on the first attack, reducing the damage by the Shield Hardness, 5. So I take 5 and the shield takes 5.
◆ Tavin stabs Odvar with his dagger
+1 Returning dagger to hit:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30 damage, slashing:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
A crit! with the worst possible damage
Yuelral, The Wise, lend me your strength against these foul beasts!

You are a cowardly cur, sending these poor wolves to die for you. We are not food, and object to being identified as such! Surrender, and we won't kill you.

I am putting the checks I would like to make in order, in case I can't do all of them.
• Identify grazing areas and places medicinal plants and mosses might grow. This is a DC 16 Nature check or a DC 13 Herbalism Lore check.
Spoiler:
Herbalism Lore, it's an edict after all:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
• Learn how to handle the goats, turning a hazard into a resource. This is a DC 16 Nature check.
Spoiler:
Nature check:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
• Recognize valuable terrain resources such as climbing spots and streams with a DC 16 Nature or a DC 13 Mountain or Scouting Lore check.
Spoiler:
Scouting Lore:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
• Spot a potential meltwater hazard that’s obvious when seen from the high vantage point. This is either a DC 16 Perception or Nature check, or a DC 13 Mountain or Scouting Lore check.
Spoiler:
Scouting Lore:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
• Identify the cliff overhang as a good resting spot for travelers. This is a DC 16 Survival or a DC 16 Perception check.
Since we don't have an official fix of the hot mess that is the current feat chain...
(Based on the descriptions in the Customization section and the Druid Animal Companion feats)
Note: Given that neither the existing Advanced nor Elite Drone feats allow for being taken multiple times, I would assume the 'fixed' Superior Drone feat would not either.
Currently, the Drone feat chain is filled with undefined terms and impossible or missing prereq feats...
Lv 14 Advanced Drone has itself as it's prereq...
Lv L16 Superior Customization and Lv 18 Elite Drone have the non-existent Superior Drone as their prereq...
The other main assumption is that the Customization feats are placed in the following Class feat level to the Upgrade feats...
Hopefully, Paizo with fix this soon with official errata... but until then, it might help to be on the same page while trying to test the Drone Mechanic...
The scenario assumes that party has Environmental Protection available... the issue is all of the Armor is level 0, so 0 days of Environmental Protection... with the sole exception of the Flight Suit (+0 ac/+5 Dex cap)...
As currently written the party fails almost as soon as they start...
Pathfinder Society FAQ; UPDATED How can clerics, druids and wizards learn spells from sources outside the Core Rulebook? wrote:
For the purposes of Pathfinder Society play, modify the Divine or Primal Spellcasting entries of these classes (or the Spellbook entry, for the Wizard) to remove the phrase “in this book” or "from this book." These characters have access to all common spells on their respective spell lists as outlined on the Character Options page. The Resource Ownership rules still apply for these characters as normal.
Characters who previously spent gold to Learn a Spell that they now have access to natively are refunded the gold spent.
"Guide > Player Basics > Spells"; important section wrote:
Spells from outside the Core Rulebook must be learned using the learn a spell activity before they can be used by prepared casters, even by clerics and druids.
Currently, if we accept the FAQ entry as overriding the written rules, we still have the Witch and Magus being left with the guide restriction on prepared casters.
Is the FAQ entry intended to lift the Guide restriction on prepared casters entirely?
Is the Treasure Table really supposed to be;
10 | 15 | 25 | 37.5
Or should it reflect the Guides list;
9.5 | 16 | 25 | 37.5
For levels: 3 | 4 | 5 | 6; respectfully...
~
The scenario list is off by;
+.5 | -1 | 0 | 0
of the expected wealth
At their respective levels, that is and extra 2.5 days of successful earn income for level 3, and a lose of 3.333 days of successful earn income for level 4.
Looking for an official answer to this question...
ISM wrote:
Winter witches must choose a familiar that is native to the frozen north, even when they themselves operate in other regions. Traditionally, this limits winter witch familiar choices to bat, cat, fox, hawk, owl, rat, raven, or weasel. A winter witch who gains the Improved Familiar feat can select any familiar she desires, save for familiars with the fire subtype
This would seem to state that the allowable familiar options are limited to those that meet either of the following;
1.) Environment: Cold
2.) Bat, Cat, Fox, Hawk, Owl, Rat, Raven, or Weasel
Is this correct?
~
Before the inevitable call to just use the list... The rule is, if the option states 'at GM discretion'.
This does not state a requirement of 'GM discretion' just states a requirement and a supplemental list.
~
The list is odd for the 'native of the frozen North' requirement...
Bat - Temperate and hot forests and deserts
Cat - Temperate and hot plains or urban
Fox - Any
Hawk - Temperate forests
Owl - Temperate forests
Rat - Any temperate
Raven - Any temperate
Weasel - Temperate hills
This is why I list it as a supplement, it violates that listed rule.
For those who might need a real world example of the environments...
Since we have had almost 2 years since I brought this up last... and a recent thread asking the question got 'deleted'... I bring it back
Quote:
At 1st level, 2nd level, and every four levels thereafter, a master of many styles may select a bonus style feat or the Elemental Fist feat. He does not have to meet the prerequisites of that feat, except the Elemental Fist feat. Alternatively, a master of many styles may choose a feat in that style’s feat path (such as Earth Child Topple) as one of these bonus feats if he already has the appropriate style feat (such as Earth Child Style). The master of many styles does not need to meet any other prerequisite of the feat in the style’s feat path.
The wording allows for two possible interpretations;
1). You ignore the prerequisites of style feats. But must meet the requirements for Elemental Fist.
2). You ignore the prerequisites of style feats and Elemental Fist, except that you must meet the prerequisite of having Elemental Fist for those feats that require it.

This issue has been argued to death but to no outcome.
It is ambiguous, both readings of the class feature could have been written clearer. So there is no way to determine intent.
It requires one to make an assumption to allow Early Access to Elemental Fist or allow Early Access to feats that modify Elemental Fist.
I'm looking for advice, I'm going to run for a group of Pirate/Privateer PC, we are going to be using the sanctioned parts of the Skulls and Shackles AP...
Given the fairly recent legalizing of Harrow options... I have two real questions...
Ultimate Equipment lists "Cards" at 1sp - 100gp... I assume that it is a 54 card deck. For PFS do we have a standardized cost for decks, or is the full cost range usable?
The Harrow Handbook makes a comment about a minimum cost of 100gp for a Harrow deck, do we have a firm cost in any other book?
I will be working Evenings and all Sunday for the RPGA, but want to get in some PFS during my free time, and not just the Con Delve/Demo (though I plan on finishing a PAXport too).
Anyone know of a PFS legal magic item that is similar to the old 3.5 "Blindfold of True Darkness"
I have a buddy who is looking for one for society play... The most important part is the blindsight. 60" is great, 30" is almost as good, since he plays a multiclass Rogue.

What is the official answer to the wording...

The main problem I see is that either side requires a change in the wording...
To limit access to Elemental Fist the wording should be...
Spoiler:
He does not have to meet the prerequisites of that feat, except for the Elemental Fist feat.
To grant access to Elemental Fist the wording should be...
Spoiler:
He does not have to meet the prerequisites of that feat, except for having the Elemental Fist feat.
