So I was looking at the list of legal sources for pathfinder society and saw that the drugs and paraphenalia from the alchemy manual were legal. I had to pull out my GameMastery Guide to figure out how they worked. My question is this: The GameMastery Guide is not on the list of legal sources - are drugs from it (specifically aether) legal for use if the required tools are posessed by the character? Was the Guide just an oversight on the list or intentionally left out?
Please let me know, thanks.

Does that shut down work? Leashed Shackle is an entangle effect, and cannot be attacked or directly escaped from. Would the spell work at all?
Options that I see are
1) The target is not entangled, but is still restricted to the 30 feet limitation
2) The target is entangled and the spell works as normal
3) The spell cannot keep hold of the target and the shackle slides off

Arguments for options
1) Makes sense - still free to move about despite impedance, and does not prevent spell from working
2) Not really likely, however freedom of movement does not specify any entangle effects. RAW vs RAI probably means no though.
3) Possible, but given that there is no potential for an escape artist check I find it very unlikely.

Thoughts?

I am currently gming ROTR, and a player who runs a alchemist brought a question to me. He has a tumor familiar and wants to know if it can cast fire breath. His argument was that his extracts made any spell an alchemist could cast have an effective range of personal. Thus, any spell he could "cast" should be usable by the familiar.
My initial response was no. Fire breath does not have an explicit range of personal nor a target of you, and it is not a touch attack spell. Reading the spell carefully though, it certainly has an implied target of you and he may have a point.
Can anyone clarify?

I am building a beastmaster ranger for pfs, and was hoping to use the pachycephalosaurus to do so. I have the following questions. The dino has a slam attack that does 2d6 in the bestiary, and a gore attack that does 1d10 as an animal companion. Is this a misprint?
Since the beast still has the clobbering charge ability, I would think that the slam should stay, and the damage scaling (1d8 to 2d6 instead of 1d10) would work correctly.
Is this something that has already been resolved, or just an oversight?

The question came up in a pfs game recently, and I was hoping to get a specific ruling. Does a heartseeking weapon ignore the duplicates created by a mirror image spell. I ruled that since the weapon is pulled to a beating heart and the images do not possess those, the weapon ignored them. Any thoughts?

So, in reading the guide to organized play, I noticed that the backloaded experience takes a character up to 38xp. There are only 4 parts to eyes of the Ten. Is one of the scenarios worth 2 experience points or was there a misprint somewhere?

The Title says it all. I have been told both ways and would like a specific ruling on this if possible.

So you are playing in PFS, and you run up into something with damage resistance 10/cold iron or silver. Normally, you would have to either be a lesser summoner and use the feats to give the eidolon the equivalency or wait till level 7 to get a bodywrap of mighty strikes +3 that only applies to 2 attacks anyway. There is, however, another way. Elemental damage bypasses normal damage reduction and an eidolon can wear rings. Equip the eidolon with two rings of retribution (or if you wear the monkey palm amulet 3) and have him charge into battle. Since the rings can be detonated as an immediate action, the eidolon will be able to use them as it is being destroyed by attacks of opportunity. Boom, 20d6 worth of fire damage. Worried about the eidolon dying? Hey, it can be summoned back in 24 hours. Coincidentally, the rings can be reused in 24 hours too. Bombs away!
