Hello,

I was wondering if there are rules about changing the size of a weapon. My group fought a Sarcesian and took her sniper rifle. The GM said it was large, and according to the rules medium characters take a -4 to hit with it.

So, since almost every character in our party has engineering trained, we wanted to resize the gun so one of our medium characters could use it.

The core rulebook does not seem to say anything, and after a search on the forums here, I see that nobody has talked about anything like this.

Have I missed something? Are there any rules that deal with this?

I have read through a few different threads so far on the cost of star ships, salvaging, and how BP work. I don't think any of those actually address how much it costs a group to actually repair a ship after a battle.

Under Engineering skill, it says you can restore HP to an item using UPBs, but I am pretty sure they are talking about personal items. However, I suppose a similar system would make sense for star ships.

The reason I ask is because our group recently had an encounter with a Corpse Fleet ship, and were defeated (reduced to 0 hp). Then, a group of Ysoki salvage ships came in and drove the enemy ship away, and towed us back to Absalom Station.

I imagine you could say that the crew fixes the ship over time. Abstract the system and say you acquire the necessary materials during downtime. I just wish they had addressed this somewhere. (Or did I miss something?)

My friend just ran Port Godless the other day, and there was a bit of controversy.

He was running the end boss - wizard with summoning spells. The wizard was invisible, and summoned a vargoulle. Then the next turn summoned a tiger (with infernal template).

Apparently the tiger is on an alternate summoning list, but the GM had the AP module where it came from (#53 Tide of Honor). According to additional resources, that is allowed for players.

The players protested that the tiger was illegal, and eventually my friend changed the summon to a celestial lion.

I would like some clarification about whether or not what my friend was trying to do was illegal, and specifically why.

A few things to note:
- I have not read Port Godless, I don't know the BBEGs tactics, etc.
- I do not own AP #53 Tide of Honor, and I haven't looked at the list.
- Additional resources for PFS Organized Play says the list is allowed, but does not list any restrictions (like deity, for instance)
- I searched for this topic before posting, but my forum skillz are not very good, so I apologize if this was covered somewhere else.

Thank you
