Time Oracle RAW / RAI question, Dark Tap Oracle PFS / align question


Rules Questions


2 people marked this as FAQ candidate.

Q1 (Possible FAQ candidate?)

Time Oracle
Time Sight revelation

RAW...
1- Is it saying you only get the most recent effect? (which was my first interpretation of it's RAW)
2- Is it saying all three effects apply at once?
3- Is it saying you can chose which one applies? (what it seems like RAI would be, but seems like the least possible via RAW)

[Edit: I had seen this come up before, http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2myhy?Time-Mystery-Revelation-Time-Sight , but never a reply on a formal answer, and I believe it's beyond the level PFS has an opinion]

Q2
PFS Dark Tapestry Oracle
alignment question

Can a Dark Tapestry Oracle hold a Good alignment? Specifically in a Golarion setting, by rules as allowed in PFS?
I'm not seeing directly where they can't, as Oracles draw from general divine power, yet the three Gods listed are all evil, so again, what's RAW and is it RAI. Is there any good/non-evil in the great darkness between stars? Or is it all PathCthulhu's summer home?

Quote:
Time Sight (Su): You can peer through the mists of time to see things as they truly are, as if using the true seeing spell. At 15th level, this functions like moment of prescience. At 18th level, this functions like foresight. You can use this ability for a number of minutes per day equal to your oracle level, but these minutes do not need to be consecutive. You must be at least 11th level to select this revelation.

RAW it means the most recent one. Kinda of crappy, if you ask me. I'm sure the RAI is different.

RAW there's no alignment restrictions. RAI, associating deities with mysteries was originally a mistake IIRC, but I think they keep on listing them to keep things consistent.

Thanks Cheapy. That was the impression I had on both. Agreed on RAI/RAW on the first, I'm going to mark it as a FAQ candidate even though it was already tried over a year ago with no reply. Maybe the PF rules gurus aren't so busy this year and will tackle it.
