Is the Urumi still a reach weapon in PFS? - p.209 (PF campaign setting)
Thanks,

Is there an official rule that says you have to use the most recent version (same for feats)?
I'm just going to want to be ready to deal with this with only an official rules quote when players bring this up.

You are correct to argue that both sources are listed as legal for PFS play per the Guide to PFS Organized Play. I would argue that the Campaign Setting was written under the 3.5 rules and should be trumped by the recently released Adventurer's Armory. However, I don't make the rules :)

This.

Are either of these books on the core assumptions list of books that the judge must have. If not, what if the player only has the setting book and not the Armory? Doesn't that become the legal document needed at the table?
Just wondering, not so much about this item, but as a "rule of thumb" for any other changes in newer books.

This is a good question to ask, and should probably be addressed in the next Guide to Organized Play. However, it will become moot when the Campaign Setting is updated and re-released under the PRPG rules. When the update is due, of that I am not certain. If a player presented your situation to me and I was the GM, I'd show him/her the Adventurer's Armory and ask them to comply with the new version.

I would have presumed that the little "three" next to the word Urumi would be campaign legal. Why, oh why, did Joshua say that Doug Doug was right and the little "three" didn't matter? I was supposing the Campaign Setting book wasn't illegal, but the caveat little "three" was campaign legal. I have to rearrange some of my characters. Fortunately, they have not been played yet in PS.

All the little '3' means is that if you'd like to read the weapon's description, you can find it in the Campaign Setting where it originally appeared.

I'm surprised that the little "three" has no meaning in game terms in Pathfinder Society. It means something in home games. I think that there ought to be a caveat about what the little "three" what it refers to in the Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting (PCCS). There should be a caveat about the Adventurer's Armory in the next Guide for each reference to the PCCS should be legal for play.

Actually, as Doug Doug mentioned, the little "three" does have a meaning, it means that the item's description may be found in the Campaign Setting. That is all the little "three" is really saying.
All crunch regarding the weapon is in the table in the Adventurer's Armory, as the updated version of the weapon for PFRPG. The version in the PCCS has the crunch as it was created for 3.5, and a number of the items did change characteristics.

With the exception of Joshua agreeing in this thread, I can't find it anywhere that the items description is separate from its rules. I believe the item should still be a reach weapon that can fight adjacent creatures. This thread had given me a surprise that the rules are separate from its description.
Hopefully there is an addendum to the Players Guide that the rules and description should be legal for Pathfinder Society. That is my hope anyway.
