As someone who has heard Tonya's schedule over the next couple months, I am both jealous and non-envious at the same time. She's extremely booked, and I'm sure she'll answer as soon as she gets done emailing both, or all, sides of this issue to get a full picture.
I have no idea what has happened over in Raleigh, but getting upset at Sarah Marie because she is trying to ensure that the privacy of community members is upheld (Especially with all the emails I'm sure you've all gotten about GPDR and such) will not help anyone out. Give her time to get a reply from Tonya, and for Tonya to figure out how to resolve this issue. This doesn't sound like something that any of the PFS staff will take lightly, and I'm sure an official statement will be made. You need to have some patience.
Also, stop spreading to other outlets. Reddit is not a place to take grievances, ever...
Apparently one of the other GM's recorded a class of children chanting 'helping' for the skittermander swarm.
That was one of the local Seattle GMs, who teaches a class of young children. His major regret after getting to the con was forgetting to get a recording of "It's not my fault!"
One thing I noticed is that for the overnight slots, everyone stops previous slot at midnight, then HQ shows up 15 minutes after games start and leaves an hour after the GM slot ends. Shouldn't it read 12:30 AM to 6:00 AM to match up with the other slots?
Nope. I had 1 extra hour each day that I couldn't cover because of keeping slots at 5.5-6 hours. Given that GMs are on duty for 5.25 hours, this is the only way to keep it equitable. I'll cover that hour slot, and I'm much more functional at midnight than 6 am! I'm not expecting mustering for midnight slots to be that difficult (this statement is not a challenge!)
I still don't see how having the HQ staff show up after the games start makes sense, but I'm sure you've got it worked out. As I recall, it still took a few people to muster each night at GenCon. But, since I'm trying to volunteer to GM for those slots anyway, I'll be showing up early enough to help out as needed.
Well that's what a lot of GM's do. Just make up some number of minutes their stuff takes (one guy above seems to uses 3 minutes as their default). And unless you're getting into take 20 for searching you'd likely be spending no more than a minute if that in a room. Like detecting magic on 5 items just takes 7 rounds, not even a full minute. So what 2 minutes for 4 people to loot 3 bodies?
So what Ragoz is saying is that he prefers tracking what actions people are doing and using that to decide how long something takes, but he understands the desire some GMs have to just throw out a number that sounded good to them.
This is highly dependent on what the bodies are wearing. If they were wearing heavy armor, that takes 1d4+1 minutes to take off, halved with help. That means it takes 2 people a minimum of a minute, and up to 2.5 minutes, to remove just the armor from that one body. It's 1 minute, or 30 seconds with assistance, for anything less than heavy armor. It takes a move action to remove things from a backpack, so taking out the say 12 items in their pack should take about 36 seconds, and that's just taking it out without trying to figure out what it is. You're right that identifying any magic items is pretty quick, but it's the stripping of belongings that takes several minutes to complete.
To the point of speed-running dungeons, I did Wardens of the Reborn Forge with 2 Monks, a Ranger with a large Wolf, and a Sorcerer. After the first 'level', we said screw it, and just speed-ran the next several 'levels' with Potions of Strong Jaw on the Monks, Fly on the Sorcerer, and Longstrider on the Ranger/Wolf. We looted one item, which set off another encounter, but then went back to collect loot after finishing each 'level'. Doing 7-10 encounters on a 7 minute potion was interesting, as we were chaining sometimes 3-4 fights at once and just wrecking the competition. Doing it with only Greater Infernal Healing ticking, or sometimes a few rounds of wands, was enough to make it a very challenging speed-run. I know we had a few rounds of fainting, followed by waking back up from the Fast Healing 4 a round or two later, as well as one 'almost death'.
1) The trap is after the cleric. The text describes a double door that he's blocking with his ritual. This is basically the antechamber of the ruin. From there, you enter the ruin itself where the block text says the passageway narrows and encounter the trap.
2) The artwork you're talking about is for Zoagusk. I believe the author stated, in the other GM thread for this scenario HERE, that Glibledring was originally supposed to be a mutant as well and that it was accidentally left in.
With your WTF moments:
1) Grib doesn't use his Enlarge Person Extract since it hurts his to hit and doesn't affect his damage. He has 3 assistants, but doesn't have the Infusion Discovery.
2) They're basically goblin babies, with only 6 HP. What are tactics to insane childen under the effects of Rage Song?
3) Goblins in a 10,000+ year old ruin. What did you expect to survive both time and goblins?
Remember folks, if you're looking for a cheap Tiger, that's your business. But if you're looking for a designated mankiller, that's our business!!
There's absolutely no reason i'm asking this, but if you had to pick a 1 hd animal to spend the rest of your life as, what would it be?
Perception, DC 35:
Stealth:1d20 + 26 ⇒ (9) + 26 = 35
Passing this check allows you to see this fox run out of a nearby alleyway.
Climb, Limb-Climber:1d20 + 30 ⇒ (15) + 30 = 45
It then climbs up one of Flutters legs and onto the Horse's head.
A tiny fox appears on Flutters head and yips in excitement.
In fluent common, albeit with a Tian accent, the fox says "Front row seat for the action! What are ya gonna make this one Flutter? A mouse, a cat? Oh, a wallaby! Make him a wallaby!"
I mean, why limit it to this? Why not start selling boons, too?
This is a touchy subject, as it has happened. The people in question have been identified and banned from the campaign. Charity events are one thing, but selling them for personal gain is an outright bannable offense.
As to the original question of this post, the answer has been given multiple times. As a GM for PFS we are required to follow and enforce all PFS rulings from campaign management. Until Tonya's (or a later OPC's) team revisits it, Mike Brock's post stands as a PFS ruling. At this time, the subject is closed. Getting closer to personal attacks on one another is not the way to handle this type of thread. I ask for every one to take a step back, take a breath and calm down. There is no need for the aggression I've read in this thread.

Quote:
Skill Specialization
Many of the prestige awards and recognitions or resources that faction members purchase allow a character to become specialized in a skill. When a PC becomes specialized in a skill, that skill immediately becomes a class skill for her. If the PC gains that skill as a class skill from any other source (either before or after you purchase the prestige resource), she gains a +1 competence bonus on those skill checks.
I suspect that the practice weapons wouldn't have a good crit range either.
The weapons in this scenario did not have a listed crit range. Thus I assumed the scimitars were (20/x2). I feel they should be this way as well. This did save my players from 2 crits if the scimitars were meant to be treated in all ways as the normal weapon.
I attended the PAX West tables and completed all six sessions of Honor's Echo, had a great time wrecking some face with Crowe while my friend brought Yoon. It was pretty dang fun and all of the GMs and players were great! The organizers were competent and respectful.
It's too bad hearing that someone ran a bad table somewhere at the con :(
You weren't at my table where Yoon told Crowe "It's ok, you can hide behind me..." were you?
As one of the GMs for the "Official Paizo Room", rooms 201-203, this did not happen at our area. We had probably just as many women as men come through. Our reception area was the same 4-5 people (all but myself were women) throughout the con, including Tonya Woldridge herself. I was one of the reception folks for maybe half the con, otherwise GMing for both RPG and ACG. We used only the official pregens, via the "Pregen Binders" that Paizo has printed for their larger conventions. Society rules in play, so no friendly fire, and no crit failures. We ran the new Honor's Echo Quests. If anyone has any complaints regarding this year's Paizo event at PAX, I urge you to please PM Tonya Woldridge, or Louis Manko-Levite who was the event organizer. It is sad to hear that this happened at all, regardless of where, and I do hope that she gives PFS a shot as the structure really does not allow for this type of behavior.
(Note: CR3 Giant Scorpions should not be placed in a level one only adventure. Also that a full roleplay finale will take more than an hour, no matter how slimmed down you try to make it. It took me 45-50 minutes, to walk a group that could not complete the quests due to not coming back to the con on Sun/Mon, talking non-stop through the finale. I asked them only which pregen they'd use and for their choices with NPCs. No dice were rolled during that time. We'd sat our last tables for the night and they wanted to know the rest of the story, so we obliged.)
Would you rather have PCs going tiny, which has been an option since the Core Rulebook came out, or the PCs who go huge? I much prefer the tiny PC, which doesn't take up half of some maps. You can do ridiculous damage with any number of builds in Pathfinder. This one has a cheaper option to do so, but so what? There are ways to do this faster spending less money. Namely the small race 3rd level or higher Unchained Rogue using Reduce Person.
Hell, a Combat Reflexes/Greater Trip/Vicious Stomp Monk gets more attacks in a round, by tripping for their first flurry attack, than any other Monk build. Does that make it overpowered or broken compared to other builds? Nope. A Barbarian or any of the archer builds is still going to consistently out DPR this build.
This isn't fully up to date, but it is most of what is replayable. Notice that First Steps is the only scenario that is Tier 1 only. All of the others may be applied to a second level character, but only one such application can be done.

It was pointed out to me recently also that you only have to *find* the item. (By a member of paizo staff)
... why is this being pointed out by paizo staff to a single player and not tattooed on the GM's foreheads and listed on a pamphlet handed out that reads 'your first game'. :/
Actually, an 'after your first game' pamphlet would be a great idea.
Ever since I saw the picture of Hats while I was at GenCon, I've been hoping that Paizo decides to make a plush Hats...
I would totally buy that!!!!
Still waiting for a GomGom Plushie. I would buy one and keep it on hand for anyone playing Yoon.
I got a goblin plush as a prop for my Emerald Spire character who has a Goblin strapped to his backpack. I even added the extra ~50 lbs to my carry weight.
My lodge is having players put their pfs #s on boons when they receive them now to prevent scanning and fakes. Otherwise I'd have a psychic dilettante and prophetic dreams for trade too.
While that's a good idea, I think it should be implemented differently. The way that your lodge has implemented this prevents any trading of the boons. You could put "Awarded on *Date* to *Receiving Society Number* by *Awarding Society Number*" and a colored stamp, or something similar, in the large amount of white space that ~95% of boons have on them.
And the Decemvirate spake, saying, "First shalt thou take on the seven to eleven tiers. Then shalt thou count to thirty-three XP, no more, no less. Thirty-three shall be the XP thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be thirty-three XP. Thirty-four XP shalt thou not count, neither count thou thirty-two XP, excepting that thou then proceed to thirty-three XP. Thirty-five XP is right out. Once the XP thirty-three, being the thirty-third XP, be reached, then lobbest thy Seeker of the Society towards thy foe, who, being naughty in Their sight, shall be snuffed."
Fromper, do you have local cons with PF prize support? If you do, have you not seen that you get more players joining the local games after them, than at any other time? After PAX and ECCC, we see a large spike in new players for the past couple of years. Not all of them stick to it, but many do. I've seen our local community more than triple in the past two years, and the spikes are after the larger conventions, like the two above. A big portion of this is due to the prize support. We got way more people to play our games than D&D did, and the three major factors contributing to this were:
- Shorter games (Everyone wants to see what the con has to offer, not just spend)
- Prize support (D&D was only selling books, no free stuff)
- Our criers, calling folks over (Can't get new people if you aren't trying to get them into it)
This was my entire last week. One of our locations had 6 tables of players and the GM had to cancel morning of, due to waking up sick. I wasnt going to come out, but stepped in to ensure that the 6 players could play a game. I had a half hour between work and game to prep. It happens, even when not ideal. Same week, apartment adjacent to mine goes up in smoke, ruining my prep time as I deal with Fire Dept, possible smoke damage, etc. Then another of our GMs gets sick and has to cancel, which Tonya steps in to save the day (THANK YOU!). A few players have things come up, and 3 tables becomes 2 just before games start, with a few playing pregens.
There is a player boon that could be won at Gen Con that allowed certain rewards like a pet boon to be traded between a single player's characters.
Share the Wealth (Companions): You may not have been the one it impress a prospective familiar or sentient relic, but your fellow agent who did can introduce you to make the most of the strange allies befriended during an adventure.
As a player, choose one boon earned by one of your characters, and transfer it to another of one of your characters. The recipient's level must be high enough that he could qualify to have played the adventure; he still qualifies if his level is above the adventure's level range. Once this boon is transferred, the original recipient is treated as though she no longer possessed the boon. You can only transfer a boon in this way if it opens up access to a new familiar, animal companion, or similar creature associated with a class feature. Record the boon's name, Chronicle sheet name, and creature type below.
Alternatively, you can transfer access to a unique intelligent item, which the recipient can now purchase. This follows the same restrictions as if you were transferring access to a new familiar type. If the original character had already purchased the intelligent item, she must sell it before the recipient can purchase it.
I think it would be funny to see a Calistrain Halfling (or other small race) get one of these with the Mauler archetype. Suddenly being able to ride your familiar at 3rd level would be interesting.
Without the full story, several people here are not understanding the situation BBT. I spoke with the GM quoting the rules to you last night. The GM in question is wondering how many chronicles your friend has on his -1, which is the only character number your friend has ever put on paper. From what I understand, your friend only plays the same pregen every time, and is still applying credits past 3XP to his now greater than level 1 character. Your friend must make a -2 or -3 after getting 3XP on his -1, or play a higher level pregen. This is an issue with reporting, not with playing pregens. You are required to adhere to the rules of the campaign, even when playing pregens.
Guide to Organized Play, page 21 wrote:
If you play a 1st-level pregenerated character, you can apply the credit to a newly created character of your very own. If you play a non-1st-level pregenerated character, you choose one of your characters to assign the chronicle to at the end of adventure, and then apply the credit to your character as soon as she reaches the level of the pregenerated character played. You may not assign a Chronicle sheet earned with a pregenerated character to a character that was already at the level of the pregenerated character or higher. If you have multiple Chronicle sheets from pregenerated characters, they are applied to your character’s Chronicle sheet stack in the order played when your character reaches the appropriate level, even if this would advance your character several levels. You may also opt instead to apply the Chronicle sheets earned with a non-1st-level pregenerated character to a 1st-level character with the amount of gp gained reduced, and any character specific boons earned must wait to be utilized until the character is of the same level as the subtier on the Chronicle sheet unless otherwise noted. You do not lose access to any of the Prestige Points, or items listed on the Chronicle sheets that were earned during the adventure, but you do forego downtime.
Keep good records of your character and make sure to bring all of your Chronicle sheets to every event or session of Pathfinder Society Organized Play. If you forget your Chronicle sheets, you will be unable to play your character, though you may be able to play a pregenerated character or start another character within Society rules. GMs rely on accurately kept Chronicle sheets to keep the campaign honest, fair, and fun for everyone. So keep your records safe, keep them accurate, and keep them with you when attending Pathfinder Society Organized Play events. (We suggest a binder that can be completely sealed between scenarios.)
Your friend has stated his disinterest of the campaign as a whole, and had his head on the table, as if sleeping, for a large portion of last nights session.
You're thinking too small. Two-hand the Trusty Buddy on a power attacking, raging barbarian and swing at something with DR/cold iron and good.
Three grand and a to-hit penalty (that can be eliminated with a single feat) to avoid needing to buy anything special for DR. Sounds cheap to me.
GinoA, I can see that being formidable, but (a) when have we seen, in PFS, a target with DR / cold iron and good, (b) how much DR was that, and (c) how do you think that an improvised weapon doing 1d6 would stack up against a masterwork weapon doing 1d12 or 2d6? Or a magical weapon with furious?
Chris,
Just to toss the numbers up, there are at least a dozen scenarios with DR 10+/with 2 requirements to bypass. DR15 has appeared at least 3 times. I'd rather deal with DR15 than a Shadow Demon below level 6...Just saying. I know of at least one instance of DR15/Slashing in a 1-5. There are at least 2 scenarios with creatures that require Epic and something else to bypass the DR.
I wrote this to not have any spoilers for which scenarios have the DRs this discussion is bringing up.
Just so long as this is for all concentions. Despite ours being nearly 40 years old, and having ran PFS for three years, we've seen no boons to date. Other, more newer, conventions in much larger cities, however, have seen at least one boon a year. Our VL has even asked, but nothing has come out way. I hope this will be provided to everyone that runs a convention. Not just large centres.
Taking this from a post I saw by Kinevon, and modifying it since Mike is no longer the Global Coordinator. How many tables does your con host? Paizo requires a minimum number of tables for Con support.
Quote:
Schedule of events to request con support:
1) A minimum of six weeks before th eevent, teh event PFS coordinator emails "Global Coordinator" to inform him of the event and to request the event form.
2) "Global Coordinator" emails the form to the event coordinator, probably with a, "I'll need this filled out and emailed back to me by X date/Y days/weeks before the event."
3) The event coordinator receives the form, fills it out expeditiously, and emails it back to "Global Coordinator".
4) "Global Coordinator" uses the form, and his wallmap of 15+ table PFS events, to determine the relative size of your event, and what level of con support it qualifies for.
5) Z days/weeks before the event, "Global Coordinator"/Paizo ships out the physical support materials, and AA days/weeks before the event, emails out/places in your downloads, the electronic support materials.
6) Event occurreth, materials given out, everybody happy! Start planning for the next time.
Muddle-headed cavaliers think they are the only mounted cavalry on Golarion, Hah! I'd like to see you ride one 'o my Giant Wasps in to combat an not get stung. That'll be good for a laugh! Knight Captain Buzz Seeker, of the Hongol tribes of Tian Xia. Pleasure. I came to Andoran in my youth, and explored the caves near the family farm. Found a right large nest of these beasts, I did. Most would try to exterminate them, but I found m'self fascinated at how agile they were. Granted, you longshanks may need to wait till they grow up to ride, though I've seen a few crazy enough to ride the babes.
Buzz is a Fighter/Hunter that fills the roll of a charging cavalier. The skies are my charge lane! He is now level 12.1, and retired to his farm in Andoran, or training new troops for his aerial cavalry detachment.
@Mark With the changes made to Pummeling Style, are you guys planning to re-write the flavor text for the feats? It no longer fits the Falcon Punch flavor text it's written with.
Original:
"You collect all your power into a single vicious and debilitating punch."
Errata:
“Your unarmed strikes weave together in an effortless combo, focusing on the spots you’ve weakened with the last hit.”
Looks like you can buy and ride the grizzly bear, according to the additional resources, but like Claxon said, it's pretty hard to keep a non animal companion animal alive for long. I have a PFS character who rides bison (purely as a means of transport) and it was kind of becoming a running joke that the bison would die every single scenario.
I wonder of the plausibility of putting the bison in an oxygen mask and then tucking it into a bag of holding, whenever you need to enter a dungeon or are not using it as a mount.
This would keep it "safe" and also it'd just be funny.
I don't know about an oxygen mask, however the Necklace of Adaptation would work since 99% of animals get the neck slot for free. You'd need a hell of a Bag of Holding to hold a Bison though.
There is a spell that would be a great addition to any Inquisitor for things like this: Brand which lasts a day per level. Greater Brand is permanent, and blazes like a torch in the near a visible holy symbol of the faith that bestowed it. Give the Necro a brand, stabalize him, and report to the Venture Captain that they had hired an undead raising Black Necromancer. There are very few areas in Golarion where raising the dead is legal. Taking control of them and raising them are very different, and should be seen as such. Raising them only brings more evil into the world.
I’m writing this as someone with 20+ characters at this point, including a few un-played GM blobs. Running out of low level content is an issue that several players in our area are having. In light of this, I’m making a short guide to re-playable scenarios and modules. It’s very easy, but likely repetitive, to get characters to level 2.2 with these re-playable scenarios/modules.
1 XP each:
#5-09 - The Confirmation (1-2)
#6-10 - The Wounded Wisp (1-2)
First Steps Part 1: In Service to Lore (1)
PF Quests: The Silverhex Chronicles (1, Pregen Only)
Master of the Fallen Fortress (1) [1PP]
We Be Goblins! (1) [1PP]
3 XP Modules:
Crypt of the Everflame (1-2)
The Godsmouth Heresy (1-2)
Murder’s Mark (1-2)
Thornkeep: The Accursed Halls (1-2)
Emerald Spire: The Tower Ruins (1-2)
3 XP Adventure Paths:
AP67 (Reign of Winter) – The Snows of Summer (1-2)
AP79 (Mummy’s Mask) – The Half-Dead City (1-2)
“In Service to Lore”, “Silverhex Chronicles”, “Wounded Wisp”, and “The Confirmation” all allow for 2PP each, while “Master of the Fallen Fortress” and “We Be Goblins!” are Free RPG Day modules which only allow for 1PP. With this method, you’ll likely want the boons available from Confirmation and Wisp, followed by a level one module of your choice. So, you could start at level 2.2 with 6-8 PP depending on how you do this. This means that you’ll only need a single 1-5 game before being able to play in 3-7s.
Sorry to hear you had comments like that directed at you. It can happen from time to time to any of us. Playing up can be difficult, and sometimes frustrating. Players shouldn't tell you that doing something will mess something up, because their characters don't know that even if the player does. Meta-gaming is something that players have to reign themselves in on, so that you don't ruin the experience for others that might have no knowledge on what's going on in the game. I agree that the pre-gens for the Sunday Special were interesting and different.
I did, and it doesn't fall under the linked thread as you aren't re-skinning. You are saying that your Elf is from the Mwangi Expanse, which as per canon is the Ekujae tribes. The Ekujae look nothing like the Drow. They look like the Mwangi or Garundi neighbors as far as skin-tone. Why would the re-skinning thread covering Drow, that only a couple folks even referenced Ekujae, apply to this? Mike's post states no Drow, which are blue-black/purplish-black in skin tone with Silver-white hair.
I have a Dual-Cursed Idyllkin Aasimar Oracle with the Deaf/Wolf-scarred curses. She is "skinned" as being covered in brass dragon scales with a muzzle, looking somewhat like a D&D half-dragon. Everyone that sees her can see her obvious Celestial heritage. This character is perfectly legal because
Blood of Angels wrote:
Idyllkin often possess bestial qualities such as dragon scales, fish scales, fur, manes, or talons.
I'm not re-skinning her, as I'm following canon for her sub-race along with her Oracle curse.
For good measure, here's a link of what an Ekujae half-elf looks like:Link
Don't forget, if you're a Hunter, to give him the Skirmisher trick Cunning Pantomime. The hilarity of a weasel telling the NPC that he should join our cause with Diplomacy is always the right choice!
A gentle, friendly bludgeoning to the skull is also appropriate, in that situation.
Why is this not a catchphrase in our area?
"Excuse me, I'm going to go deliver a GFBS."
My monkbarian does this, but you wouldnt like it...Usually ends up a bloody mess all over the wall, even with non-lethal...Pummeling Style is pretty brutal.

When one of the players announces that he has all the stats for Weapon HP and Hardness so he can Sunder without taking time to look up stats.
Not sure why that is a bad sign. Sunder is great in PFS as it debuffs the enemy and you can still get the weapon/armor off the chronicle sheet. Someone who is prepared to use it quickly would be welcome.
As a GM for a sunder character in our area(while at a con), Sunder is great until you sunder the Barbarian's clubs and they switch to Claw, Claw, Bite all at full BAB instead of Club, Bite-5 and nearly TPK the party.
Small character on a medium sized flying Animal Companion with Wheeling Charge, Indomitable Mount, and alot more shenanigans negated all of the issues you described Daniel. I was even able to act as a party taxi as needed with Muleback Cords and Ant Haul. My attack was often a V shaped dive bomb, almost always granting me the high ground bonus to attack.
Just last night, I was flanked by Kyton-type monsters with only 10 HP remaining. Scorching Ray crits hurt at that level... I called to our Arcanist to Lighting Bolt the lot of us, me included.
"I'm thinking I can Lightning Bolt them, but the monk is in the line..."
"Do it!"
"You sure? I'ts 8d6, and you're only level 5 and hurt pretty badly"
"Do it!"
With a +12 Reflex save and evasion at 5th level, I figured it was the better option than dying to constrict. I either make my save and take nothing or use my reroll to avoid dying to my own tactic. I looked to the GM, said "If I fail both rolls, I'll sit here laughing with you!"
Since I don't have the book Heroes of the Wild, how is that archetype worded?
Blog wrote:
The unchained summoner qualifies for all existing summoner archetypes, save those that modify the eidolon's type or base form.
If the plant oriented summoner has different style bases it has to bypass that restriction somehow.
The Wild Caller Summmoner is not Unchained Compatable. Bolding mine for emphasis on the wording.
Heroes of the Wild wrote:
WILD CALLER
(SUMMONER ARCHETYPE)
A wild caller summons creatures from the First World and forges a bond with an eidolon with a plant body.
Plant Eidolon: When a wild caller summons his eidolon, the eidolon’s body is created from extraplanar plant material and imbued with the intelligence of a being from the First World. Its statistics are changed from a standard eidolon as follows.
Type: The eidolon has the plant creature type and extraplanar subtype. Unlike other plant creatures, the eidolon is not immune to mind-affecting or polymorph effects, though it does gain immunity to paralysis, poison, sleep effects, and stunning.
Base Form: The wild caller chooses one of the base forms listed below for his plant eidolon. When the eidolon is summoned in an environment matching one of these base forms, the wild caller can choose to change the eidolon’s base form to the matching form by sacrificing one daily use of his summon nature’s ally ability as a free action.

Torch is like The Blacklist's "Red" Reddington. A highly articulate, erudite and intelligent businessman and mastermind.
Torch doesn't care much for the decimvirate, but he does care about pathfinders.
Characters that want to kill Torch actually don't have a clue what's going on.
No, we definitely have a clue about what's going on. Putting up a veneer of helping pathfinders is great, but his true goals leave me cheering for the Red Mantis.
You have the right idea, I like that. Lead the way and my mistress will reward your service.
I live in Federal Way, and it's a 5-ish extra minute alternate route for me to pick someone at the hotel up. I hit up AFK E&E every Thursday as one of the main GM's for our PFS meets there. IMO, it's no big deal to take a few extra minutes out of my way to do this.
As per the wishes of campaign management to not have people pick and choose items based on chronicle rewards, no one should tell you what it does. You will find out when you play the scenario.
