I purchased the hireling boon a while ago and, though the points have been subtracted from my ADP, the boon has not shown up in my boon list. I've emailed PFS reporting about it a few times and haven't received anything in return. What can I do to rectify this?

Placed two separate orders, asked that one be sent with subscription and the other be sent by itself. Now both are lumped together in the same order. I wanted the ones separate from the subscription to be sent separately so I would get them sooner. What the hell, Paizo?

Has there been any clarification on how this works? Does a PC need to have EWP if they're only using it to grapple? And when using it, do you take a -2 penalty (both hands not empty -4, grapple bonus +2) or do they just get the +2 bonus?

Does a familiar count as an animal to gain the benefits of this trait?

The archetype dedication gives trained in either Acrobatics or Athletics, plus trained in Warfare Lore. It also says that "if you were already trained, you become an expert instead." My question is, if you are already trained in all three of these skills, do you get to bump both Acrobatics and Warfare Lore, or Athletics and Warfare Lore to expert, or is it only one of these?

This feat gives the skeleton the Adopted Ancestry feat and says you may choose "any" ancestry. Does this include uncommon ancestries?

Pathfinder Society (second edition)
"In the Pathfinder Society (second edition) program, the following benefits are offered for each accessory category. A player may not benefit from more than one of these per session, with the exception of the Campaign Coin benefit.

Vestments: When you use a Hero Point to reroll a check, add a +1 circumstance bonus to the reroll.

Worn Accessory: Once per session, when rolling a check as a part of a victory points system, if you roll a critical failure, you get a failure instead.

Rules Reference: Once per session, when you use Treat Wounds or another character uses Treat Wounds on you, the result of the check is one degree of success better than the result that was rolled.

Other Item: Once per session, a character can gain the benefits of a two-action heal spell, heightened to the maximum spell level available to a cleric of the character’s level. This benefit can only be used in exploration mode.

Campaign Service Coin: Volunteers who make exceptional contributions to Organized Play can earn campaign coins or membership in the Order of the Wayfinder as a recognition of their hard work. When you use this benefit, you gain a bonus Hero Point at the beginning of the adventure. In addition to the normal powers of a Hero Point, you can spend this special Hero Point to allow another player to reroll a check."

What are each of these items? I assume "Worn Accessory" means the new faction pins? Thank you.

How is this done in Society play? Do we just pay the difference in cost from, say, low-grade to standard-grade? Or must we craft the weapon ourselves?

For example, a cold iron weapon of one bulk costs 44gp for the low grade version and 968 gp for the standard grade version. Do we just pay 924 gp and get the standard grade version? I've also heard someone say we must craft it ourselves.

Thanks in advance.

question.

The only person whose name I recognize is Bee Zelda from "Power Play", but you folks have fun. Good cause.

Are there printed maps for this AP?

I got a discount code from PaizoCon, so was going to use it for an order. But during the order process, I was never asked about payment, so couldn't apply the discount.

Huzzah! Big fan of that less-creepy fungus leshy, I was worried they all looked more like this picture from the Bestiary.

I really wish you guys would support other channels than Know Direction.

I've reported this, but there's been no indication if it's been received, so I thought I'd say something here. My Organized Play is showing one of my characters played 2-09. I have never played this scenario, but I do have it scheduled for PaizoCon, and I'd like to avoid any headaches about me playing the same scenario twice. Thank you.

What combination of feats would I need to have access and scaling proficiency for my tengu swashbuckler?

Any idea when/if we'll be seeing 7-10 and up scenarios?

question.

but no home group, obviously.

Can someone explain how to use this? Thanks.

Is there any coming out any time soon? The Bestiary, for instance?

I'm baffled where some of the numbers, specifically attack and damage, are coming from. Are there special bonuses somewhere that we just can't see?

When does the starting book change? I've already got Legends and Pathfinder Society, I want to start with the next one.

I have a Giant instinct Barbarian who uses a large maul. If he gets a shifting rune put on the maul, when it shifts will it still be large? For instance, a large greataxe or greatsword. Also, can it shift to a polearm with greater reach?

Thanks.

Can half-orcs and half-elves choose orcish or elven for their starting language? Can changeling and dhampir humans choose aklo or necril?

I always preferred physical books, but if they're not going to be releasing errata, it might be worth it to just get the PDFs if they are continually updated.

Assuming that it is a misprint on the chronicle sheet for 2-07 under items:

Can the OP team confirm this is a misprint?

Is this just done the same as retraining any other feat? Are there any special rules?

Received my copy yesterday, and I'm still a little in shock.

Are we supposed to "purchase" all the chronicle boons our characters have earned?

A steel shield is listed as 1 bulk. Shield bash is listed as 1 bulk. Shield boss is listed as 1 bulk. Does this mean that a shield with a shield boss is 2 bulk, or combined they are still 1 bulk?

Are we allowed to use the ancestries, backgrounds, classes, archetypes, basically are we allowed to use the rules in the APG for Pathfinder Society?

Just saw this ancestry feat last night (it's kind of hidden). My fighter already has Unconventional Weaponry to get the gnome flickmace. I thought that it would scale like other martial weapons, but the Expertise feat makes it sound like you need that one for the proficiency to increase. I'm very confused.

I'm seriously considering taking the Sentinel archetype with my next class feat (10th). He's just hit eighth level and I'm looking to get him a little extra protection via heavy armor. I had considered going Champion, but Sentinel is better because the proficiency scales. I might be able to squeeze in one more archetype feat. Would folks say it's better to get the armor specialization ability or the Mighty Bulwark one?

Or am I just an idiot and this is a stupid idea?

I'm going to be playing a Draconic sorcerer in an upcoming game and I was wondering if there's a master spell list from all the books. Preferably searchable by school, damage type (specifically cold damage), other descriptors.

Thanks.

Can someone please verify the squirrel familiar's special ability? Archives of Nethys say +3 to Escape Artist, but other online resources say +3 to Sleight of Hand.

Thanks!

How can I get a familiar for my character? He's a Draconic Bloodline sorcerer. Is multiclassing into Wizard or Witch the only way?

If I must multiclass, how exactly does it work when you have multiple casting classes? Do you combine the spell slots somehow?

Can hirelings carry some of a character's equipment for them?

My fighter has this feat. He uses a shield and one-handed weapon. Do you think it's better if both do the same type of damage (Ex: Shield boss + flail) or have different types of damage (Ex: Shield boss + longsword)? Thanks.

Just wanted to make sure this was legal. Starting with two primal cantrips seems pretty sweet.
