running silent tide with 2 taldorian music loving "paladins" of shelyn
they came across a chest containing "the lost symphonys of a taldorian master"
so purely for fluff they wanted to negotiate the purchase of this work.. with a diplomacy roll of 32
(5 char, 4rank&class, 1faith trait, 2 assist) they wanted to trade thier "tip" for the documents... even if the documents are pure fluff with no bonus whatsoever.
so on the "paladins" record I added to the items found "symphony of the taldorian master" for 50 gp. - no game effect. (art object?)
the players understand this would be for fluff and would give no bonus on anything - unless a hand from on high approved giving it a bonus to something ( a long shot at best).
did i overstep my bounds as a gm? - this was written in pencil to be erased if its not legal.

You didn't overstep your bounds. As long as there's no in-game effect there's no conflict with taking something out of the scenario like that and adding it to a player's Chronicle. The line does get drawn eventually. There's a scenario where the opponents are wearing special helmets lets them avoid any combat penalties from a sandstorm. Some players have asked if they can buy one of those helmets, but they don't appear on the Chronicle sheet and aren't a standard piece of equipment. Letting your players have one of those helmets would be an example of overstepping your bounds. But in your case, you acted fairly. I'd even suggest that you make it a masterwork tool for the Perform (Percussion, String or Wind) skill. Granted, they likely have no use for the item, but at least it's now a purchasable item and it might help someone else down the road.
