Hi I'm a little confused about pricing for this ring I see it as being 4k but my GM says that rings are "Premium Priced" not sure what that means. What I'm attempting to do in get the equivalent of a belt of Giant Strength (+2) in a ring to open up my belt slot for a Scabbard of Vigor. Thanks for your help in advance.

I'm a little confused. I need an item like gloves of Dueling for a paladin without the +2 weapon training bonus. So I need a pair of gloves which only grant the wearer a +4 bonus to disarm, sunder and grease attempts. what is the breakdown for pricing?
Thanks for your help.

The group is more interested in obtaining "lost" items for gold, more than righting the wrongs of the world. If they can do both that would be a bonus. Any suggestions?

My party has had a bit of a scuffle with at least one Werewolf clan, and now feel the need for a drink made from Wolfs bane. what are the rules for searching for, and finding, a plant in the wild? We do not have a Ranger or druid in the group, I'm hoping survival skill will be enough. So far the only two bitten have the highest fort saves, but I fear others will be bitten soon.

I have found 2 prices. 1)on d20pfsrd says a combat trained Mammoth is 4500 gp. 2) If you look up Mammoth in the D20 bestiary is says a small Mammoth is 13k. I would think it is the 4500gp price.

I have a couple of people at my table who do not care if their PC dies. They feel that its no biggie "I will just roll up a better Character". This is somewhat troubling to others at the table but more so to me (the GM). This has become a way of power leveling for them, and an unfair advantage as the new build is custom designed for what is/has been happening in the AP. There is no real penalty that I can think of imposing that will not hurt the group as a whole. What have others done to prevent this type of behavior?

I'm curious how long it takes others to run a scenario. The games I'm in usually run 4.5 to 5 hrs long. We tend to get bogged down with knowledge checks and looking up rules, and sometimes we even get slowed down by role playing, I know right. I'm not sure how we can really speed things up without instant recall on rules...

I'm a newer GM, I freely admit not knowing all the rules and I never will. At my table a while ago we had a character death due to wild shape, which I was unfamiliar with, I had my players look it up and do what we thought was right. Later we found that we misunderstood the rules and the Character death should not have occurred. I have some players now saying that as a GM I should have full understanding of the rules, especially when a character death is involved. I replied that we as a group misunderstood and there is a level of responsibility of the player(s) to double check that any rule is being done correctly. I feel that I should not have to look up every rule I’m one person there are five others sitting at the table with internet access that can look things up in minutes while I try and move the story along. This turned into a bit of a heated disagreement which left me not wanting to GM further. Am I that far off base, that no GM understands every rule? If a table consensus is wrong should the GM take the blame? I’m a very forgiving GM who does not want any PC to die, especially from a misunderstood rule.

I’m Semi new to GM'ing, and I have never posted anything before so I hope this is in the right place. The group of 5 I’m running through ROTRL is for the most part new, the leader of the group is very experienced in builds and Society Play. He is unhappy with the other player’s inexperience and willingness to learn (which for the most part is true), and the make up of the party. Currently they have a 5th lv cleric with 3 lv's of cleric and 2 of ranger, a 5th level Druid, a 5th lv monk with 4 lv's of monk and 1 of druid. And a 5th level rogue. They are playing core with 15 point buy. To try and make up for the lack of party balance he wants to take the Leadership feat. Here is his plan:

I. Leadership Score (19)
If I earn all of the bonuses (and no penalties), I could reach 19 at 7th-level, 21 at 8th-level, and max out (25) at 12th-level.
A. Level (7)
B. Charisma Modifier (+6)
C. Great Renown (+2)
Hopefully, I'll get this one from being the face of the "Heroes of Sandpoint"
D. Fairness and Generosity (+1)
I am going to privately offer financial support to so many residents of Sandpoint, that my generosity will become an open secret.
E. Special Power (+1)
There is no official ruling on this one. The best idea I've seen on the forums is mundane authority (legal, religious, etc.) My plan is to form (and lead) the Sandpoint Merchant's League (see IV).
F. Base of Operations (+2)
I am going to build a workshop in Sandpoint.
II. Human Resources
A. 5th-level Cohort
Wizard who participates in combat and crafts wands.
B. 5th-level Follower
Cleric who crafts magic arms and armor.
C. 4th-level Follower
Wizard who crafts wondrous items.
D. 3rd-level Followers (2)
Cleric and druid who craft wondrous items.
E. 2nd-level Followers (4)
Cleric, wizard and two martials who transport goods to Magnimar and profits back to Sandpoint.
F. 1st-level Followers (40)
1. Clerks
These will be 10 employees in Magnimar who sell the goods crafted in Sandpoint.
2. Scribes
These will be 10 clerics, 10 druids and 10 wizards who scribe scrolls.
III. Profit Margin (15% of cost, 7.5% of price)
A. Hedge Magician (5%)
This trait will represent my bulk discount when purchasing supplies.
B. Merchant Family (10%)
This trait will represent my skill in running the business.
IV. Merchant League
A. Benefits
Free spell casting services from 34 employees who reside in Sandpoint.
B. Responsibilities
None, because Posh is just that nice of a guy.

Wow right?

Although I think it would be interesting to explore the leadership feat the others in the group are starting to get a little upset with him trying to "Teach" them what to do. I’m very concerned if I allow this, it will create a lot of problems that I’m not experience enough to deal with. Any input would be most welcome.
