"Take it seriously" isn't really a thing. You get poisoned. You try DCs to stop it. The DCs are much more difficult at low tier than high tier, and the penalty for failure is larger. If they are straight Bestiary imports, then it certainly seems that the Bestiary flubbed the numbers, then. Either way, it's not a great intro encounter.


We've run into a bit of a balance issue here:

Monster Stats:

The Centipede Swarm (Subtier 1-2, Level 3 Creature) has a DC20 poison that deals 1d6-1d8 damage per round.
The Scorpion Swarm (Subtier 3-4, Level 4 Creature) has a DC18 poison that only ever deals 1d6 damage per round.

This has made the Centipede Swarm very difficult for a party of level 1s to reliably clear the poison from in less than the maximum duration (which can be lethal), even after combat is over.

It certainly feels like the poisons were transposed here. Can someone from the Paizo side confirm that the lower tier, lower level encounter is supposed to have the higher DC and damage poison?

RE: Rebuild for 2E

I still don't see any way to properly annotate or redeem this rebuild, despite there being only 3 days left until it supposedly goes away.

Multiple Boons to the same Wayfinder: No because the boon has a faction tag and you can only slot one boon with the faction tag per scenario.

Where are you seeing the Faction tag on Wayfinder enhancement boons? I see them all with just the Item tag.

Gary Bush wrote:

Faction Boon (Verdant Wheel) - Naturalist: I don't think that feat comes into play because the boon specifically says to use a Lore skill instead of Crafting skill. So the player would not need to have the Alchemical crafting Feat.

This could stand to be more explicit.

Faction Boon (Envoy's Alliance) - Exemplary Recruiter: No because it is not included in the special section.

This makes sense because Fame is what you use to spend with your factions.

The boons each give 12 Fame when used individually. It certainly seems like a typo that Fame is the only thing not combined when using them together.


Core Rules
----------

Ancestry Feat (Human) - Unconventional Weaponry - For PFS purposes, what counts as a weapon "that is common in another culture"?
General Feat - Adopted Ancestry - Will there be a clearly delineated list of prohibited choices for this feat to prevent table variance?
Skill Feat (Nature) - Bonded Animal - What animals are valid for you to bond in PFS? The feat description specifies "a normal animal (not a companion or other special animal)". Does that mean any common creature from the Bestiary (or other source you have Access to) with the Animal tag?
Skill Feat (Nature) - Train Animal - Can we assume that the DC will be based on creature level and that the downtime cost is 7 days? Or is there additional guidance for this?
Skill - Crafting - According to the Core rules, one of the requirements for the Craft downtime action is: "You have an appropriate set of tools and, in many cases, a workshop. For example, you need access to a smithy to forge a metal shield." Does this apply in PFS (reading the PFS-specific Naturalist feat, which waives this requirement, it seems like it would.)? Does it apply for Earning Income using Crafting? What are the associated costs/restrictions with the workshop?

PFS
---

Purchasing Equipment - The Player basics section states "As you complete adventures, you will gain more wealth that can be used to buy any common item that is no more than 2 levels higher than your current level.", but the Play Basics section states that only items up to your level are purchaseable without a chronicle sheet. Which is correct?
Faction Boon - Wayfinder Boons - Can you apply multiple boons to the same Wayfinder?
Faction Boon (Verdant Wheel) - Naturalist - Does this boon negate the need for the Alchemical Crafting feat?
Faction Boon (Envoy's Alliance) - Exemplary Recruiter - When applying this to an Eager Protege, do they also gain 12 additional Fame?

Valeros (Lv. 5) has wooden shield stats despite being listed with a steel shield, which is incredibly fragile at level 5.
