Are minor deities legal for PFS play? When I check the Faiths of Purity section in the additional resources, it appears that only the traits are legal for PFS play, which is a little confusing.

Also are there rules for switching deities?

Tinkering with a cleric build. Mostly healing support with some ranged attacks in it (archery).

I'm thinking of dipping into some monk levels for the zen archer archetype. Thoughts?

So, I've been into PFS for about two years now. I truly enjoy this format. But lately, I've been having a rather difficult time playing a halfling cavalier. Most of the time, when I get a game with my usual GM, we get along fine. It is indeed very rare to get a rules straight, and I truly do rather RP then argue over rules. However sometimes, with a new GM (as is usual in PFS), they appear to think a medium mount is cheesy and put all sorts of unwarranted penalties.

Examples are: Ruling the medium sized dog / wolf / pony has to swim in knee high water, but lets the dwarf move along just fine. Penalties to ride checks when moving through an ally's square. Wont let a small cav ride mount up stairs. Ruling that a mount will only watch, while the cav is deep in combat, coz the dog / wolf / dinosaur somehow has turned into an automaton, and wont do anything as it doesn't understand common. Inconsistent DCs for jumps. Apparently for some GMs a fast 4 legged animal with a light load, will have a harder time jumping a 5 foot square then a fully armed & armored fighter.

Anyway, sorry for the rant. I just wanted to know if others have found certain classes difficult to play as the rules are just too unclear to get right given the round robin GMs PFS tends to encourage. I'd like to avoid these, and not waste another two years investing in a class that causes so much controversy.

Are the horseshoes only wearable by a horse? Or do other mounts eligible?

So with this scenario:

Mount has spring attack
Cavalier has mobility

What is happens when the mount spring attacks?

Only mount gets to attack and move away. Cav triggers OA
Both mount and Cav gets to attack at the same time. Mount moves away. Cav triggers OA.
Mount gets an attack, moves away, then Cav gets an attack.

Thanks in advance. :D

The emissary archetype grants mobility:

"At 5th level, an emissary learns to be more aware of the threats that surround him in combat, and shares this awareness with his loyal steed. Both the emissary and his mount gain Mobility as a bonus feat.

This ability replaces banner."

Does this mean a cav gets mobility even if he does not have dodge?
