Scarab Sages

This is probably going to seem like a simple question to most, but it made for a lot of opposed discussion within our group.

The other night a player brought up the Multiattack feat in reference to a monster in a scenario. The monster in question was a Ghoul, whose stat block reads: Melee bite +3 (1d6+1 plus disease and paralysis) and 2 claws +3(1d6+1 plus paralysis). The stats do not mention the Multiattack feat anywhere.

The player was arguing that the Ghoul should be taking -5 to its secondary attacks in a fullround action, by his interpretation of the Multiattack feat.

In addition to this, after the session, there were also some opposing opinions as to the difference between the way attacks are written. Confusion regarding attack stats that specifically use "and" (like the example above "bite and 2 claws") and stats that specifically use commas (such as, I suppose, a Grizzly Bear: Melee 2 claws +7 (1d6+5 plus grab), bite +7 (1d6+5)).

Can I get some brief/simple rulings to point this player to?

Thanks in advance.

This is a free event, and seating is limited. We'd like to accommodate as many players as possible, but because we have no idea what kind of a turn out to expect, we’d greatly appreciate contact with us if you’re interested in joining. We’re trying to determine how many sessions and tables are going to be needed/available, so we have enough space for everyone interested in playing.

Hello all,
We’re located at Above Board Games in Fort Mill, SC (very close to Rock Hill SC, and Charlotte NC) and we’re excited about starting a PFS Lodge here! Because we are new to Pathfinder in general, we had been holding non-public games for the past few months to grow accustomed to the setting/rules - now we’d like to start holding public sessions and get our lodge growing!

Wed. July 13th at 6:30 pm, we’ll be having a character creation + meet and greet. The current plan is to hold open sessions on Wednesdays at 6:30pm, and if there is interest, we may also do Tuesday and/or Thursday evenings as well. There is an admission fee of $5 on nights that we play scenarios - This will go towards new scenarios/modules, new books, miniatures, dice, or other needs for the group.

Because we have no idea what to expect, we’d greatly appreciate contact with us if you’re interested in joining. We’re trying to determine how many sessions and tables are going to be needed/available, so we have enough space for everyone interested in playing.

My apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong place.

Myself and a few friends of mine had the pleasure of playing through some PFS scenarios at a convention a few weeks ago (Mace West). We had such a fantastic time!

I've decided to take on the noble task of starting a PFS at a local game store. I've spoken with the owner, and we're going to start off by running a private group but eventually we'd like to have a monthly or bi-monthly public PFS event day.

But for now we're starting small, while we get the hang of things. Here are some of our questions (and of course any general advice is most welcome too):

- I'll be the GM for these scenarios (and I guess I'm technically the coordinator as well?). I've chosen Mists of Mwangi for our first game. It isn't one that I've played before, so I think I'll be "eating" the scenario as I am the GM. I understand that I get 1xp, 100% max gold for my character's most appropriate tier, and full PA - but I'm a little fuzzy on what the "boons" I won't have access to are - is this in reference to the access to the magic items for the tier? Or something else?

- As far as character creation goes, we've had one question pop up. I feel like I was told (when I made a character at the convention), or perhaps I read somewhere, that you cannot take the Rich Parents trait during character creation for PFS. But I can't seem to find this anywhere, so I don't know if I misheard, misread, or that I'm simply blind and I've overlooked it.

- Finally, as I said we are hoping to host some public PFS events in the near future. We're a little worried that we might not be able to accommodate everyone as far as session tables go. For example, if we set up two sessions, each with a GM, but we had 15+ players show up, how would we handle that? We'd hate to turn anyone away, but we wouldn't have a 3rd GM for another table and etc.

Those are really the only questions I have, for now, though I'm sure I'll have more once we get things underway.

Thanks in advance for help!
