Gom-Gom does like it when things burn!

Personally, the only hardback I carry is the Players Handbook (still the most useful book in the arsenal). Every thing else I keep a PDF of on my device. I print out relevant pages from those for each of my charecters for feats, classes, odd equipment, etc. Even if I didn't bring a device to keep them on; by printing out the watermarked pages I'm covered for what I am running.

My understanding has always been that the chronicle only lets you bypass the fame requirement to purchase items or purchase items in smaller quantities or less charges. All other class/ability/feat requirements still need to be met to buy those things.

Kito “Kit” Faadi; Human Gunslinger hailing from Katapesh. His parents were merchants that traveled near and far to trade merchandise for the bazaars of Katapesh. At the age of seventeen he accompanied his parents on an I’ll fated trip to Alkenstar. While returning home their caravan was overrun by Gnoll traders looking for living merchandise. Their escort fled in fear as the marauders descended up them. Kit was the sole survivor; all others were taken away or killed, Kits parents died that day as well. He swore that such a fate would never befall anyone under his care. For the next few years he served the local Sword n Shield protecting caravans from Katapesh. This served him well for a time, but soon he felt the call to travel, as he did growing up. He joined the Pathfinder Society to protect its members while seeing the world. Kit is tall and lean with coal black hair, he prefers loose the loose fitting robes common to his homeland. He protects those under his charge with the last item his parents purchased, a handcrafted musket from the Gunworks of Alkenstar.

I've been playing PFS little over a year now. I bought the CRB in hardback because I knew I would need it the most. Then after that I bought all my other books in PDF and simply printed out the relevant pages for each character I had, doing it this way gives you the watermark. This has worked really well for me. I don't have to lug around lots of books and the price of a PDF is awesome compared to the hardbacks.

I remember 3.5 had a book called Savage Species that broke down monsterous races by level. So you could play some of the more interesting races even at lower levels, though they weren't "fully charged" so to speak. i.e. a minotour may have been equivalent to a 8th lvl charecter; but you could work them up to that lvl by lvl gaining a little bit of its abilities along the way. You could even throw in class levels along the way as you wished.

I always loved pulling some races from that book; my favorites were minotaurs and hound archons.

A stone block falls from the ceiling landing on a party member; blood begins to pool out from under the block. The stone is actually hollow with bladders around the bottom full of blood. The pc inside the stone is fine, but stuck. The pc's outside beleive their friend has just been pasted and move on. later; baddies come and remove the stone and take the pc captive.

So I set down with the guys for a new campaign. 8 people, 7 halfings and 1 dwarf. I wanted to cry.
