Cypher Mage issues; Additional Resources

[graywulfe]

Not sure where to post this.

I was looking at the possibility of playing a Cypher Mage. I have figured out that even though the Additional Resources page, under Inner Sea Magic, tells how to get around the required Scribe Scroll Feat for entry, it does not list a similar exception for the Cypher Magic feat, which is restricted in the next entry for Inner Sea World Guide. I have since decided against the Cypher Mage concept, though I was still planning on Cypher Script, also restricted darn, so this isn't of immediate need for me. This inconsistency should probably get cleared up.

My apologies if this comes off as negative I am actually just trying to be helpful. :)

Good catch, graywulfe.

So, one of the following is the case:

a) The campaign coordinators don't want to allow Cypermages into the PFS campaign. The Additional Resources document should have banned them.

b) Cyphermages, and only Cyphermages, get access to the Cypher Magic feat from the Inner Sea World Guide. The Additional Resources document should list that as an exception to the restriction on the feat.

c) Cyphermages in the PFS campaign don't need to have Cypher Magic. The Additional Resources document should waive that requirement, the same as it waives Scribe Scroll.

As a guess, I'd say (b) is correct.

I just wish I could have Cypher Script as it works well with a concept I have a well.

I had also entertained the possibility that a chronicle somewhere allowed an exception to the restriction of the Cypher Magic feat. A Module such as Cyphermage Dilemma. I can not however confirm this.

I was actually just looking at this last night, and had similar confusion. Is there any official response on this? I can't figure out why the feat would be banned in the first place, except that Scribe Scroll is a prereq.

There are a couple other Cypher Mage posts querying the same thing. I believe that on one of them Mike clarified, and that the clarification will make it into the next iteration of the Additional Resources.

I'll see if I can hunt it down.
